Plato's Euthyrphro, Apology, and Crito portray Socrates' words and deeds during his trial for disbelieving in the Gods of Athens and corrupting the Athenian youth, and constitute a defense of the man Socrates and of his way of life, the philosophic life. The twelve essays in the volume, written by leading classical philosophers, investigate various aspects of these works of Plato, including the significance of Plato's characters, Socrates's revolutionary religious ideas, and the relationship between historical events and Plato's texts. Readers will find their appreciation of Plato's works greatly enriched by these essays.

From the moment you experience the first infected through the eyes of a rat named Maya and two guinea pigs named Chuck and Charlie, you will be transported into a world where the forest has been becoming increasingly full of the rabid, flesh hungry husks of what was once it's inhabitants. As they journey the woods, fighting off crazed, blood lust driven animals, they will have to conquer their fears of the forest around and the anger that dwells inside them, working together and forming new bonds. Will they make it to the other side of the woods and put a stop to the source of this infection before it's too late, or will the woods they know be torn apart in a rabid frenzy?... There is something in the woods and the numbers are growing. Something that is stalking through the trees and killing the residents of the forest, The Infected. It's early spring and a guinea pig named Charlie is contented to sitting in the field surrounding his village eating dandelion sprouts and watching the butterflies drift lazily by. But instead he will be joining a rat named Maya and another pig named Chuck and going on a quest across the woods to find the source of the infection and with any luck, put a stop to it. They will have to fight for their lives as they make their way through the ravaged forest. The infected have smelled their blood and they are after them. They will soon realize, they are not the biggest animals in the woods . . .
