The Aeneid of Virgilby Edward McCrorieISBN 0937986712 (0-937986-71-2)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Aeneid of Virgil'Book summary:Called "the best poem by the best poet," Virgil's Aeneid is perhaps the most famous work in Latin literature. It tells the story of Rome's founding by the Trojan prince Aeneas after many years of travel, and it contains many of the most famous stories about the Trojan War. It also reveals much of what the Romans felt and believed about themselves- the sensitive reader will see that these same values and issues often trouble us today.In this new translation Edward McCrorie has performed the difficult task of rendering Virgil's compact, dense Latin into fine, readable, modern English verse. The sometimes complex text is made clear and comprehensible even for first-time readers, and a glossary of names helps identify characters and place-names in the poem. The translation is well suited for students at all levels, and readers already familiar with Virgil will find many fresh images and ideas."A brilliant effort."--Robert Bly"I admire the ambition of the project, and the generosity of many of the lines."--Robert FaglesEdward McCrorie is Professor of English, Providence College. His poetry and translations of Latin verse have been widely published.[via]More editions of The Aeneid of Virgil:

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Aeneid of Virgil'Book summary:Aeneas flees the ashes of Troy to found the city of Rome and change forever the course of the Western world--as literature as well. Virgil's Aeneid is as eternal as Rome itself, a sweeping epic of arms and heroism--the searching portrait of a man caught between love and duty, human feeling and the force of fate--that has influenced writers for over 2,000 years. Filled with drama, passion, and the universal pathos that only a masterpiece can express. The Aeneid is a book for all the time and all people. [via]

The Age of Innocenceby Edith WhartonISBN 0891905081 (0-89190-508-1)
Hardcover, Amereon Ltd

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Age of Innocence'Book summary:Somewhere in this book, Wharton observes that clever liars always come up with good stories to back up their fabrications, but that really clever liars don't bother to explain anything at all. This is the kind of insight that makes The Age of Innocence so indispensable. Wharton's story of the upper classes of Old New York, and Newland Archer's impossible love for the disgraced Countess Olenska, is a perfectly wrought book about an era when upper-class culture in this country was still a mixture of American and European extracts, and when "society" had rules as rigid as any in history.

You are as great a boy as poor Brittles himself, returned Rose, blushing. Well, said the doctor, laughing heartily, that is no very ditficult matter. But to return to this boy: the great point of our agreement is yet to come. He will wake in an hour or so, I dare say; and although I have told that thick-headed constablefellow down stairs that he mustnt be moved or spoken to, on peril of his life, I think we may converse with him without, danger. Now, I make this stipulation---that I shall examine him in your presence, and that if from what he says, we judge, and I can show to the satisfaction of your cool reason, that he is a real and thorough bad one (which is more than possible), he shall be left to his fate, without any further interference on my part, at all events. Oh no, aunt l entreated Rose. Oh yes, aunt! said the doctor. Is it a bargain? _ He cannot be hardened in vice, said Rose; it is impossible. Very good, retorted the doctor; then so much th6 more reason for acceding to my proposition. Finally the treaty was entered into, and the parties thereto sat down to wait with some impatience until Oliver should awake.

Workplay: Playing to Learn and Learning to Playby Carmine ConsalvoISBN 0925652121 (0-925652-12-1)
Hardcover, Human Resource Development
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Workplay: Playing to Learn and Learning to Play'Book summary:WorkPlay offers you some of the most enjoyable and educational games and exercises you'll find anywhere. More than "just another" collection of structured activities, this reproducible volume includes a provocative discussion of the serious impact of fun and games on the adult learner.
WorkPlay provides training in: Leadership, team building, change, problem solving, creativity, decision making, goal setting, trust, risk taking, and more!
WorkPlay is designed to provide program designers, workshop presenters, facilitators, and consultants with creative, structured learning experiences and detailed guidance on how to use them for effective training, conferences, and workshops. It is a practical handbook containing 27 varied and versatile activities that cover a comprehensive range of learning themes. Although these activities are particularly well-suited to team building, group problem solving, and leadership training, they can be used for communication, decision making, creativity, resource management, and a multitude of other learning purposes. Each activity can serve a range of training needs and agendas. Each activity has applicability to a variety of learning themes, some of which can be explored in depth using the activity alone or in conjunction with suggested companion exercises. They can be implemented either at different times for different purposes or used singularly to accomplish a variety of related learning objectives.
WorkPlay includes:
27 reproducible activities in a convenient 3-ring binder.
Exercises include icebreakers, energizers and closing activities, scenario-based activities, and general activities for multiple objectives.
Observer/judge sheets for participants to learn by observing
Guidelines for ensuring that physically challenged participants can safely and enjoyably take part in the activities
Requirements for set-up, time, group size, materials, constraints, and safety considerations.
Development
Experiential activities can transform learning into adventure for adults in conference, academic, and work training settings. Learning is an emotional, physical and cognitive experience. Movement and feelings affect learning. Play can engage the mind and body and provoke a positive, emotional response during exercises that are designed to enhance skills and elucidate concepts and theories. Almost any topic can be explored through gaming. Learning that involves skill building and behavioral change, such as group dynamics, communication, leadership, problem solving, teamwork, and decision making are particularly well-suited to gaming.
Playing games for the serious purpose of learning creates a paradoxical situation in which participants are simultaneously involved in serious play and playful seriousness. The object of gaming is knowledge, not fun. However, the process is enjoyable and thus conducive to learning. This type of play entails the lighthearted yet earnest pursuit of educational aims within a fun-and-games context. The paradoxical nature of gaming to learn allows players freedom to experiment with new approaches, change old approaches, and even fail with impunity. After all, learning is a risky business. Safety is ensured in the imaginative realm of play.
Conducting the Activities
Each activity provides all the information necessary to conduct the experience, including directions and other handouts that can be easily copied for the participants. Some of the games do not require these handouts for participants or may have handouts to be used by the facilitator as a guide. These handouts contain all the pertinent information necessary for the group considerations. They also ensure that the group cannot project responsibility for its performance on faulty facilitator instructions, insulating the facilitator from being unwittingly drawn into authority issues that properly belong in the group.
Many of the activities are designed to accommodat [via]
