Synopsis

Seneca's "Of Consolation to Polybius" is a profound work that explores the themes of suffering, loss, and the human condition through the lens of Stoic philosophy. Written in a time marked by personal and political upheaval, Seneca employs a reflective and poetic prose style that intertwines rhetoric and philosophical inquiry. The dialogue, intended for his friend Polybius, serves both as a personal letter and a universal meditation on how to cope with misfortune, drawing heavily on tradition and the wisdom of Greek philosophical schools, amplifying themes of resilience and inner peace amid adversity. Lucius Annaeus Seneca, a Stoic philosopher, statesman, and playwright, lived during the tumultuous reign of Emperor Nero. His experiences with loss, exile, and the complexities of human emotion deeply informed his writings. "Of Consolation to Polybius," crafted during a period of personal distress, reflects his commitment to using philosophical discourse as a means to alleviate suffering, revealing his capacity to merge personal grief with broader philosophical insights. I highly recommend "Of Consolation to Polybius" to readers seeking solace through literature. Seneca's eloquence and sincerity provide not only comfort but also a practical framework for confronting life's inevitable tribulations, making this work a timeless guide for those grappling with existential despair.

    Science and Health: Knowledge and Medicine in Ancient Rome (3 in 1) explores the intellectual and spiritual forces that shaped Roman civilization, from its groundbreaking scientific ideas to its religious beliefs and the formidable enemies it battled across centuries. 
    In Roman Medicine and Science, uncover the practical and philosophical roots of Roman knowledge—how doctors, engineers, and scholars applied Greek theory, astrology, and firsthand experience to treat the sick, build aqueducts, and study the stars. Roman Religion and Mythology dives into the gods, rituals, and sacred practices that infused daily life with divine meaning and political power. From Jupiter to household spirits, religion in Rome was deeply entwined with science, healing, and war. The Roman Empire and Their Enemies offers a dynamic look at Rome’s greatest rivals—Persians, Carthaginians, Germanic tribes, and more—examining how these conflicts influenced Rome’s scientific developments, medical needs, and mythic self-image. 
    Together, these three books reveal how Romans understood the world—through logic and legend, reason and ritual. Ideal for readers fascinated by ancient science, belief systems, and military history, this volume reveals how Rome's view of knowledge shaped its rise—and echoed through its fall.

    Truth is being destroyed, free speech criminalized, the dollar fast becoming worthless. Ideologues at the helm of Big Tech, Big Media, and Big Business are set on the destruction of capitalism and democracy. Powerful federal agencies are no longer protectors of the people, but their primary adversary. 
     
     
     
    Not since the Civil War has our nation been so divided, bringing us to the edge of national suicide. And our enemies—China being chief among them—see our weakness. If we falter, they will act. 
     
     
     
    Not since World War II have we faced an adversary so determined to achieve global dominance. At this moment, they are perfecting an arsenal of weapons to use against us: Quantum computing. Artificial intelligence. Hypersonic missiles. Bio-warfare. These are threats we must defeat. But before we are able to do that, we must protect ourselves from the enemy within. 
     
     
     
    Many of our forefathers had to fight a Great War to save their freedom. It falls upon this generation to fight two. But we must not lose hope. There is a way to save our nation.

    Pierre Tallet's discovery of the Red Sea Scrolls—the world's oldest surviving written documents—in 2013 was one of the most remarkable moments in the history of Egyptology. These papyri, written some 4,600 years ago, and combined with Mark Lehner's research, changed what we thought we knew about the building of the Great Pyramid at Giza. 
     
     
     
    Here, for the first time, the world-renowned Egyptologists Tallet and Lehner give us the definitive account of this astounding discovery. The translation of the papyri reveals how the stones of the Great Pyramid ended up in Giza. Combined with Lehner's excavations of the harbor at the pyramid construction site the Red Sea Papyri have greatly advanced our understanding of how the ancient Egyptians were able to build monuments that survive to this day. 
     
     
     
    Tallet and Lehner narrate this thrilling discovery and explore how the building of the pyramids helped create a unified state, propelling Egyptian civilization forward.

    « Today, in the United States, a new well is drilled every twelve minutes, and that model is what some wish to import to Europe ». 
    Job creation, lower gas bills, renewed competitiveness, geopolitical upheaval, energy independence… such are the arguments used by oil and gas lobby groups to influence public opinion and impose shale gas exploitation throughout Europe. Focused on the American example and oblivious of European economic and legal specificities, lobbies fling counter-truths regarding the economic benefits that their production would generate. However, what they call an energy revolution actually is a dangerous « gold rush » with a single mission, intensive drilling, to satisfy the hunger for profit of a few at the expense of the general interest. 
    Argument after argument, Thomas Porcher challenges information largely controlled by lobby groups and proposes crucial answers in the context of the current debate on shale gas in Europe.
