Summary

Library Alexandria Operations explores the renowned Library of Alexandria, a pivotal institution in the Hellenistic world. The book investigates its mission, organizational structure, and the intellectual achievements of its scholars. By examining how the Ptolemaic dynasty fostered an environment for learning, the narrative sheds light on the Library's significant role in shaping Western scholarship and intellectual history. Contrary to seeing it as merely a storehouse, the book posits the Library as a dynamic center for knowledge creation and dissemination. The study uniquely focuses on the Library’s operations, detailing book acquisition, translation, and preservation methods. It also examines the scholarly activities within its walls, including research in mathematics, astronomy, and literature, highlighting the Library’s influence on the history of science. The book progresses from introducing the historical context and physical structure, to analyzing the collection and scholarly activities. Finally, it addresses the Library's decline, considering various theories surrounding its destruction and assessing its lasting legacy in classical studies.

    Sometimes, looking at your past can give you the strength to move forward. As the classic symptoms of Parkinsons disease began to take control of Simon's life, he became a shadow of his former self. After months of fighting to keep the disease in check, Simon finally found the strength to tell his family and even managed to book an appointment with a neurologist. Sadly, at a time when he needed an experienced health care professional to help him fight his corner, what he got was a cold, uncaring man who clearly had no time for his situation. However, his initial assessment proved to be 100% accurate; at just 36 years of age, Simon was told he had Parkinsons disease. The desire to produce a written account of his life for his immediate family and friends led to A Life Worth Living. Ingram looks back at his life, often with humour and pathos, and decides that the way to keep going is to appreciate the life he has led. The only way to fight is to appreciate what battles he has already fought and won. After all, what else makes a life worth living? Ingram's first-hand account of his life from his early childhood to teen years to his first signs of the debilitating disease give an insider's look at not just a 'disease' but a man.

Detaching the rewards from the addictive input is key to breaking the habits that keep us addicted. Presented here are a variety of treatments—from medications to therapeutic approaches—that can help. Offering a better understanding of the mechanisms of addiction, this book can help anyone struggling with addiction to unravel it in their own lives.
