London England: Simon & Schuster. Very Good. 2011. Reprint. Soft Cover. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 9781847399342 Paperback Paperback. Full Circle. How the Classical World Came Back to Us. So much about twenty-first century society bears an astonishing resemblance to the prominenet features of what we call the classical world - its institutions, its priorities, its entertainment, its sexual morality, even its religion. The ways in which we live our lives correspond - almost eerily so - to the ways in which the Greeks and Romans lived theirs. This eye-opening book makes us look afresh at who we are and how we got here. This book is not only wonderfully witty and brilliantly astute, but also profound and often disquieting. The author effortlessly peels back 2000 years of history to show how much we are like the ancients, how in ways we are them and they are us. Illustrated. 438 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
