First published in 1962, this book provides a systematic account of
the development of Plato's theory of knowledge. Beginning with a
consideration of the Socratic and other influences which determined
the form in which the problem of knowledge first presented itself
to Plato, the author then works through the dialogues from the Meno
to the Laws and examines in detail Plato's progressive attempts to
solve the problem.

Filled with magic and mayhem, adventure and action, swords and spells,
book one in the Song of the Lioness quartet is the ultimate
introduction to Alanna and Tamora Pierce’s legendary Tortall universe.
In Song of the Lioness, Book 1: Alanna, the first of four volumes
adapting #1 New York Times bestseller Tamora Pierce’s Song of the
Lioness quartet, we meet Alanna of Trebond, a young noblewoman from the
kingdom of Tortall.
Alanna isn’t like other girls from noble families—what she really wants
is to become a knight and earn her shield, something women definitely
aren’t allowed to do.
But Alanna will not be deterred, and she arrives in the capital
disguised as a boy to begin training as a page, the first step toward
becoming a knight. Despite the tough conditions and grueling work,
Alanna’s skills and stubbornness win her friends amongst the nobility
and the denizens of the lower city. But not everyone wishes her well .
