Explicit hentai.......2001-07-19

Secret Plot is one of the best hardcore hentai ever.

The art is fabulous, the best from Eros Comix. This book is a must have. Hentai was never this good. I've been a hentai fan from years now, and this still holds the title of the best hentai manga i've ever seen. Totally hardcore, it tells the story of two teachers who like to have fun with their students.

Both of them are beautiful, sexy and hot women. They do everything and anything with women and man alike. But the story really shines when a well-endowed student comes by and becomes their little toy. The gigantic guy really turns this manga in a classic of hentai.

In depth review of the Gallic Wars and Julius Caesar.......2007-10-03

This book examines Julius Caesar and his conquest over the Celts during the Gallic Wars. The author has done much research from ancient and modern sources to try to distinguish fact from fiction in regard to Caesar's "Commentaries on the Gallic Wars". The book also examines the backdrop for the action, the political intrigues back in Rome.

I thought the book was a good insight into Caesar's conquests. The author sites his references so that readers can go back study deeper into the Gallic Wars and the politics of Rome. I think this is a good supplement to anyone interested in Julius Caesar and Rome during his lifetime.

Read Caesar.......2007-06-22

Frankly, why should we read the account of a 21st Century civilian when Caesar, the hero (or villian) of these events in history left his own accounts for us? Essentially, this book is a watered down and much less detailed version of Caesar's De Bello Gallico, with the addition of some fairly useful background info in the beginning; this latter part is the main thing that could make this book worth your money.

A good general history to the Roman/Gual wars!.......2006-08-25

You learn about the Romans at the time, their political intrigues, the Celts and their culture/history, the Roman frontier in Europe, the Roman conquests and losses, the soldier's life on a day-to-day basis, and Caesar's career among others. Readable, interesting and educational any reader, scholar or lay-person will find more to enjoy than to find fault. A gem and a value.

CAVEAT EMPTOR: A Work of Poor Scholarship........2005-03-02

This book by Ramon Jimenez is limited to Caesar and his campaigns in Gaul which he led under an extraordinary command lasting from 58 B.C. to 50 B.C. Although the book may at first appear to be informative about Roman history and Caesar, it contains too many serious errors and missassumptions to be anything more than a crude guide to military facts that Caesar himself more adequately and eloquently describes to the average reader already! Ramon Jimenez has absolutely no credentials in classical studies, history, or anthropology of any sort. His background is solely as a civil servant in California. Mr. Jimenez didn't even begin to undertake any studies in antiquity until recently in which his inquiries amounted to nothing more than his personal pursuit of a non-chalant hobby. He has neither a Master's or Ph.D. in anything remotedly related to anthropology, archeology, or classical studies. There's also no indication that Mr. Jimenez has any background in Ancient Greek or Latin which would be prerequisites to presenting one's self as any sort of established authority in the field of classical studies. Even disregarding his lack of academic qualifications to present any thesis, dissertation, or even lecture on Roman history, his poor knowledge as to the Late Roman Republic is made plainly obvious by his cursory summaries of Roman society and politics that are nothing but misleading oversimplifications at best. Mr. Jimenez' obvious lack of knowledge results in his work focusing on Julius Caesar far too narrowly giving the reader overly general, if not misleading, information as to the society, culture, and political environment Julius Caesar lived in. Mr. Jimenez' study is essentially in a complete void of in terms of historical context and much of the information he does provide is misleading at best. One cannot understand Julius Caesar without knowing much about the Roman Republic and its agents any more than one could understand Alexander The Great without knowing any significant details about Ancient Greece, Macedonia, and Persia. This book is therefore fundamentally unreliable as an authority on the Roman Republic or even Caesar specifically.

A perfect example of Mr. Jimenez' poor scholarship is his explanation of human sacrifice in antiquity that he makes on page 38, 4. He recites multiple examples of ritualistic killings in Celtic culture (that are verifiable based on literary and archeological evidence) and then suggests that even Rome itself was equally barbaric in that it didn't ban human sacrifice until the 1st century B.C.: suggesting the conclusion that Rome either previously tolerated such acts or passed such a ban to prevent Romans from performing human sacrifice. It is obvious here that Mr. Jimenez is ignorant as to the context of this ban because it had nothing to do with preventing human sacrifice by Romans nor was it an indication that Romans previously tolerated human sacrifice. The sources Mr. Jimenez relied on to make this argument could only be derived from the histories of Pliny and Plutarch as to a law that was proposed by Publius Crassus (father of Marcus Licinius Crassus, the triumvir) while Consul and approved by the Senate at the beginning of the 1st century B.C. which he put into execution as governor of Further Spain (Pliny, HN 30.12; Plut. Quaest Rom. 83.) If Mr. Jimenez would have done some simple research, he would have found that this law applied only to Rome's Celtic province of Spain to prevent Celts of that region (Lusitanians/Portuguese in particular) from continuing their rampant practice of human sacrifice. No law was passed before that time because Rome had not yet come into extended contacts with Celtic tribes that extensively practiced human sacrifice (not all Celts practiced human sacrifice.) Even worse is that Mr. Jimenez fails to recognize that Caesar himself in his Commentaries remarked with some perplexity and disgust as to Gallic druids stuffing victims into a wickerman to burn them alive. Mr. Jimenez then compounds his ignorance by stating, "[T]he heads of defeated enemies [were still]...presented to the Emperor Trajan as late as the second century [A.D.]" id. Severed heads of executed tribal chieftains and their retinues after a battle don't meet the parameters of a ritualistic killing which involves clear religious ceremonies or institutions that seek to appease gods or natural forces with human victims (e.g. the Celts, Aztecs or other Meso-American civilizations.) Roman legionaires bringing severed heads of enemies to the emperor isn't human sacrifice, it's simply an exemplary execution and the head is brought as proof of victory to the emperor or displayed to other enemies as a deterrent. Such acts were purely political and military in purpose and had no religious significance: they simply entailed the army showing its victory and allegiance to the emperor or it carrying out a brutal but effective diplomacy in the name of Rome. Although there are perhaps one or two identifiable incidents of actual ritualistic killings to appease the gods in the Early Roman Republic up to the Third Punic War (a span of several centuries!), they were anomalies that were not universally accepted by Roman contemporaries and that occurred in extremely desperate situations. By the time of the Late Republic, all Romans clearly considered the practice of human sacrifice as barbaric in the true sense of the word (i.e. foreign and uncivilized.) What is amusing is that, after citing all of the wrong examples as evidence of ritualistic killings in Rome, Mr. Jimenez fails to address the universally known Roman institution of gladiatorial spectacles that obviously came the closest to human sacrifice: even that however is somewhat debatable as it is a more distinctive category of blood sports which are primarily secular but have quasi-religious overtones as well but I digress and will leave it at that. In sum, as in other parts of his work, Mr. Jimenez here took pieces of information on Roman society out of context because he is plainly ignorant of the context in the first place and, therefore, not qualified to render a scholarly opinion on the subject.

Mr. Jimenez' poor understanding of Roman society and political structures is also evident when he states that freedmen couldn't vote (page 13, 3) which is unequivocally false. Unlike other civilizations of the time, Rome had very liberal policies regarding manumission and historical evidence is simply overwhelming in showing that freedmen (libertini) were given political suffrage as they were allocated among the four urban voting blocks (tribes) out of the total 35 voting blocks. The only political difference between freedmen and commoners(plebeians)was that they couldn't hold political offices or official priesthoods. How Mr. Jimenez could have come to an opposite conclusion is simply beyond my comprehension because not even a beginning student of Roman history would make such a blatant mistake. Mr. Jimenez also makes errors as to the types of foods that existed at the time as well as the alimentary regiment for Roman legions. He claims that the common food for Roman legions was lentils and beans on page 128, 2. Beans are typically understood as the New World crop variety that didn't come to Europe until more than 1500 years after Julius Caesar. Contrary to Mr. Jimenez' claim, the common diet for the Roman soldier consisted of lentils and corn (generally all edible cereals except for maize which also came from the Americas), not beans. If "beans" were at all included in the military diet, they were restricted to field/string beans: something which Mr. Jimenez fails to specify. Lentils and corn were the staple rations of the Roman legions because they were highly nutritious, light to carry, and not as perishable as other foods such as string or field beans. In these two examples, Mr. Jimenez again demonstrates his ignorance of the underlying culture, institutions, and history of ancient Rome to the detriment of the uninformed reader and historical truth.

These types of incomplete summaries and false facts are rampant throughout the book and clearly indicate the author's lack of knowledge as to his subject. Mr. Jimenez' poor research is indicative of a tunnel-vision approach to only a very limited segment of Roman history that is inevitably dependent on a thourough and broad understanding of the Roman Republic specifically and antiquity in general: an understanding that Mr. Jimenez clearly lacks and results in his painfully evident demonstration of poor scholarship. I have no credentials in classical studies either and even I can see the gross inaccuracies in this work. The difference with me is that I wouldn't be so arrogant as to publish a book claiming to be authoritative when it's based only on loose knowledge I obtained on my spare time as a hobbyist. This book should be shunned as an authoritative text as to anything dealing with Rome: the only thing it's clearly authoritative on is its author's ignorance of the subject matter. Indeed, this book does a gross disservice to all true scholars who have committed years of schooling and dilligent work to the study of antiquity to dispel the very same misconceptions Mr. Jimenez ignorantly propagates as sound research in this poor work. Ignore this pitiful text and read Caesar's Commentaries directly or the work of qualified scholars of classics such as Gruen, Syme, Millar, or others who clearly know what they're writing about before they publish their work.

What's so bad about popularizing ancient literature ?.......2004-02-07

I had no thought of reading this wonderful little book until I chanced upon the two highly negative reviews below. Despite their somewhat silly attempts at erudition, the authors of those reviews evince a wholly unpleasant snobbery that seems to want to deprive popular audiences of the fun and fascination of the study of classical history and literature. Such, I am convinced, is the mark of the true ignoramus. As a long-time teacher of ancient Greek and Latin, I am all too aware that most students today will never experience the joy of "hearing Caesar's voice" in his native tongue (and that others will never even muddle through a translation). What then is so wrong with a popular account of Caesar's campaigns, particularly such a delightful one as this? As one who has devoted my career (however humble) to promoting classical scholarship, I am proud to recommend this book to both the hobbyists so despised by the reviewer below, and to any newcomers who may be inspired to learn more about the stories and languages of antiquity. Come. Read. Enjoy. And for the Visigoths among us--lighten up, okay?

Book Description

Combining the theoretical perspectives of a leading Russian political scientist and an American political philosopher who have collaborated for years, "Capitalism with a Human Face" analyzes the relation between economics and politics in Russia as it moves toward modernization. Throughout the book, the authors contrast Western media accounts of the Russian situation with less accessible but more relevant data gathered in Russia since 1991. They advocate a new notion of centrism for Russia: one that combines democratic politics and a market economy without abandoning the social guarantees on which many Russians have long relied and without which their political and economic life is likely to remain in turmoil. This will be an important work for scholars and students of social and political philosophy, international relations, comparative politics, and economics.
