  • A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up Revised and Expanded - What to Wear When to Wear It How to Wear It - cover

    A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up...

    A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up is not a book about style—it is a book about the rules—rules that will allow any man to feel more comfortable in the choices he makes about what he wears. 
    Let’s get one thing straight. Clothes do not make the man . . . but they do make a difference. And regardless of whether we like the idea of appearances driving impressions, a man’s exterior often is perceived as an indicator of what’s happening on the interior. 
    Fortunately, tasteful and appropriate dressing doesn’t require inordinate amounts of time or money. Any man can hit the door in fine shape with only a little forethought and a bit of attention to a few guidelines. Never mind the heady cologne and designer labels. With a navy blazer, a good bar of soap, and a regular haircut regimen, he’ll be well on his way to becoming the guy who knows exactly how to suit up, regardless of the occasion. Most important, A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up illustrates how a man’s natural confidence and personality are the best foundation for any wardrobe. 
    Accompanying charts and visual examples are included in the accompanying PDF.

  • XENOPHON: Athens vs Sparta - Why Sparta's Laws are Superior - cover

    XENOPHON: Athens vs Sparta - Why...

    Xenophon

    The Polity of the Lacedaemonians talks about the laws and institutions created by Lycurgus, which train and develop Spartan citizens from birth to old age. It only because of Xenophon that we have most of our knowledge about the Spartans. Xenophon the Athenian was born 431 B.C. He was a pupil of Socrates. He marched with the Spartans, and was exiled from Athens which may explain why he is so negative and sarcastic when describing the Athenian democracy. Sparta gave him land and property in Scillus, where he lived for many years before having to move once more, to settle in Corinth. He died in 354 B.C.. 
    "But having realised at one time that Sparta, although one of the most sparsely populated of cities, proved to be the most powerful and most renowned city in Greece, I wondered how could this possibly have happened. However, when I perceived the practices of the Spartans, I wondered no longer".  This .is a treatise by the ancient Greek historian Xenophon, describing the institutions, customs, and practices of the ancient Spartans. The work examines the reasons for Sparta's power and renown, despite the city state's sparse population. There are fifteen chapters: the first thirteen enumerate the practices and institutions that made Sparta great; the last two describe Sparta's decline and the survival of its monarchy. The Polity dates to the period between 387 and 375 BC, and is the only contemporary account of the Spartan political system which survives. Together with Plutarch's "Life of Lycurgus", it provides the most detailed surviving description of the Spartan state, and is considered the best source of information about Spartan women during classical antiquity. 
    Xenophon then describes the laws and customs of the city state Athens in the Polity of the Athenians.

    MINORITY REPORT 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Minority Report is a 2002 science fiction thriller directed by Steven Spielberg, set in a dystopian future where a specialized police unit, PreCrime, prevents crimes before they occur. The system relies on three psychics, called "Precogs," who foresee murders, allowing the police to apprehend perpetrators before they commit the crime. The story follows John Anderton, the head of PreCrime, who is accused of a future murder and becomes a fugitive. The film explores themes of free will versus determinism, the morality of preemptive justice, and the ethical implications of surveillance and control in a highly technological society. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “The "Precogs" were named after famous mystery writers: Dashiell Hammett, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Agatha Christie.” 
      
    “For the scene where Anderton holds his breath in the bathtub, Steven Spielberg planned to create the rising air bubble using CGI, but Tom Cruise took the time to learn how to do it himself.” 
      
    “Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg both agreed to waive their usual salary to help keep the film's budget under $100 million. Instead, they agreed to take 15% of the film's gross.” 
      
    “Initially, Steven Spielberg wanted Greta (Dr. Eddie’s assistant) to sing a song by ABBA, but Peter Stormare suggested something more absurd: the Swedish children's song "Små grodorna" ("The Small Frogs"), traditionally sung during Midsummer Eve parties in Sweden.”

    "Go for the Jaws, stay for the Shaws." —Nat Segaloff, author of The Exorcist Legacy 
     
     
     
    Robert Shaw unforgettably commanded attention as the weathered seaman Captain Quint in the blockbuster sensation, Jaws. But what came before and after that landmark film is as dramatic as the hunt for the great white shark itself. 
     
     
     
    Capturing the many facets of the vibrant, generous, and sometimes polarizing man is his nephew, Christopher, who explores the forces that shaped a dynamic personality—including Robert's indomitable mother, his deeply troubled father, and his activist sister, Joanna, with whom Robert shared an unbreakable bond. Out of the traumatic events of their childhood in the Orkney Islands and Cornwall, Mrs. Shaw pushed her children to pursue their dreams. For Robert, that dream was acting and writing. 
     
     
     
    Despite a storied career on the British and American stage—as both performer and playwright—and a string of hit films including From Russia with Love, A Man for All Seasons, The Sting, and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, international celebrity eluded Robert . . . until he was summoned to star in "a little horror film" called Jaws.
