The War for Gaul - A New Translation (Hardcover): Julius Caesar The War for Gaul - A New Translation (Hardcover)
Julius Caesar; Translated by James O'Donnell
R770 R596 Discovery Miles 5 960 Save R174 (23%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A new translation that captures the gripping power of one of the greatest war stories ever told-Julius Caesar's pitiless account of his brutal campaign to conquer Gaul Imagine a book about an unnecessary war written by the ruthless general of an occupying army-a vivid and dramatic propaganda piece that forces the reader to identify with the conquerors and that is designed, like the war itself, to fuel the limitless political ambitions of the author. Could such a campaign autobiography ever be a great work of literature-perhaps even one of the greatest? It would be easy to think not, but such a book exists-and it helped transform Julius Caesar from a politician on the make into the Caesar of legend. This remarkable new translation of Caesar's famous but underappreciated War for Gaul captures, like never before in English, the gripping and powerfully concise style of the future emperor's dispatches from the front lines in what are today France, Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland. While letting Caesar tell his battle stories in his own way, distinguished classicist James O'Donnell also fills in the rest of the story in a substantial introduction and notes that together explain why Gaul is the "best bad man's book ever written"-a great book in which a genuinely bad person offers a bald-faced, amoral description of just how bad he has been. Complete with a chronology, a map of Gaul, suggestions for further reading, and an index, this feature-rich edition captures the forceful austerity of a troubling yet magnificent classic-a book that, as O'Donnell says, "gets war exactly right and morals exactly wrong."

R1,095 Discovery Miles 10 950 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

These notes treat of the Leaving Certificate Higher Level Economics course. The coverage is as short and concise as possible to aid the student's learning. It was necessary to omit certain topics such as population economics and development, however all omissions concern material which is not central to the course or an understanding of economics. As such, these notes form the minimum course of economics required to get an A1 in the Irish Leaving Certificate, or at least to do very well. It is important to note that these notes should be utilised in conjunction with past papers and past marking schemes in order to maximise examination performance.

Leaving Certificate Physics Notes (Paperback): James O'Donnell Leaving Certificate Physics Notes (Paperback)
James O'Donnell
R1,093 Discovery Miles 10 930 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

These notes treat of the Leaving Certificate Physics course. Only the most important parts of any topic are included; as such, these notes form 'the minimum you need to know to get an A1'. Clear diagrams are included to illustrate important material in the text, especially in Light 1: Geometrical Optics with its inherently graphical nature. It is important to note that significant emphasis is placed on the theoretical part of the syllabus: each student's own experiment copybook should be their keystone for that aspect of the course. However, for the sake of completeness appendix B forms a concise overview of the mandatory experiments, with particular emphasis on those salient points which frequently crop up in exams. Moreover, the Applied Electricity option has been omitted since seldom do students warm to it, and indeed very few teachers cover it; the particle physics option is included instead in the Modern Physics section.
