Summary

In "The History of Rome (Complete Edition: Vol. 1-5)", Theodor Mommsen presents an exhaustive narrative that traces the evolution of Rome from its origins to the decline of the Western Empire. Comprising five volumes, this work combines rigorous historical analysis with vivid storytelling, reflecting the author's journalistic acumen. Mommsen employs a clear, engaging prose style, integrating meticulous research with a profound understanding of Roman society, politics, and culture. The text situates itself in the broader context of 19th-century historiography, marking a significant advancement in classical scholarship during an era characterized by a surge of interest in the ancient world. Mommsen, a German historian and Nobel laureate in Literature, was profoundly influenced by the tumultuous political climate of his time. His academic background in law and philosophy, coupled with a deep passion for history, equipped him with a unique perspective on Rome's complex legacy. His experiences in various political and intellectual spheres ultimately shaped his vision of this monumental work, which sought to elucidate Rome's influence on modern governance and civilization. This comprehensive edition is indispensable for historians, classicists, and general readers alike. Mommsen'Äôs synthesis of narrative and analysis not only offers a window into the intricacies of Roman political life but also serves as a timeless reflection on the human condition. For anyone seeking to understand the foundations of Western civilization, "The History of Rome" remains a definitive guide.

    Hey there, Big People! We are very glad that our book has found its way to you. 
Whether you’re a parent, caretaker, teacher or guardian, we understand the need for guidance in the area of emotions in young children. 
It is said that the human brain can only be considered fully-developed by age twenty-five. Everything a child learns before this age will serve as their blueprint for adulthood in future. It is vital, in this day and age, that children become enabled to discuss and explore their emotions, so that those which cause discomfort can be overcome before the child enters the ‘big world’. 
Children need to understand that there are no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ emotions. Each emotion felt is equally important for the child’s development. 
Unlike adults who have experienced various scenarios throughout their life, and have learned to deal with their feelings, children simply have not been presented with the number of experiences needed to create their own ‘database’ of emotional references. Without these references, forming emotional solutions and conclusions becomes difficult. 
Children need to know that emotions are healthy and we all experience them. 
A child has the right to feel angry when another child breaks their castle of blocks that took them hours to build; the right to be afraid when they go to the dentist; the right to feel frustrated when something goes wrong and they don’t have answers.
