Pliny the Younger's Character as Revealed through his Letters is a Latin reader and grammar review. It is the fourth text in the Latin Alive and Well Series. Lucius Caecilius Plinius Secundus (Pliny the Younger) was a Roman author, attorney and administrator who left a collection of hundreds of private letters illustrating public and private life of the Roman Empire during the reigns of Domitian and Trajan. The letters included show Pliny happy in study, distraught over a sick friend, engaged in managing his estates, endowing a school, experiencing the eruption of Vesuvius, addressing administrative issues including those of the Christians. Chapters begin with a list of grammatical forms to be encountered and referenced to "Compiled Grammar Charts" at the end of the book. Exercise and bridge sentences accomplish a grammar review and introduce letter topics. Specific vocabulary lists accompany each chapter. For common vocabulary there is a glossary at the back of the book.

NO APOCALYPSE HANDBOOK Sandra and Molly were two typical office workers enjoying their lives, which consisted primarily of going to work, shopping and looking for cute guys. Then their world came to a disastrous end brought about by a fast-acting, airborne virus that decimated the the world's population. Now the girls live in the abandoned office building in which they once worked surrounded by a new and dangerous landscape; one where mutated animals roam the streets and giant birds soar through the empty skies; where frightening humanoid bat creatures have appeared to challenge humans for supremacy of the earth. What are two attractive, intelligent, single girls suppose to do now...other than merely hunt for food and try to stay alive? Well, there are still malls, albeit much less crowded, and though rare, a few cute guys still out there. So even if the apocalypse sucks, Sandra and Molly are not about to let it cramp their style. Writer Peggy Chambers offers up a truly unique, twisty adventure with two of the most likeable heroines you'll ever meet. "The Apocalypse Sucks," is a pulp mash-up readers are sure to enjoy from cover to cover.
