Author: Unknown Type | Publisher: CB

Written around the time that Aristotle (384Ð322 BCE) established his own school in Athens, this is a guide to what was a critical skill in ancient Greece: the art of arguing persuasively in debate and public speaking. A seminal text that has shaped theory and practice down to modern times, the book sets out the contexts and types of rhetoric, the strategies of persuasion, and the style of delivery.

Perfect for a new DM, well made and full of useful stuff

Reads like a fever dream

This book was impossible to put down. Equally discomforting and fascinating, the stories within are never fully told, leaving your imagination to fill in the gaps. This book is everything that our ever-increasing AI world is not. Painfully and beautifully human, with no punches pulled.

Great leaps into a man's world.

This book was interesting to see how in the animal kingdom, there is a lot of sexual diversity, and the males and females of each species are cared for equally in the group. I was disappointed that Erna found it necessary to bring in a quote from the bible, Corinthians, to show that women were kept down and in their box in that era. What that verse meant was that women weren't allowed to discuss or argue biblical meanings in the church with the men. That was to be done at home. I think that would have been because the men were educated in the church ways whereas the women weren't. It still shows that the women were not given the same rights as men but what it doesn't show is that women weren't allowed to sing and young men were castrated so they could sing with a boy soprano voice.
I was also disappointed that there weren't so many stories of zoo keeping. I was hoping it would be like a James Harriot of zoo keeping book.
Cultural practices have discriminated against women through the ages and continue to do so but it there has been great headway and continues to be. I thank Erma for being one of the women who fought for the right to be treated respectfully in that all male domain.

A true gem!

Sometimes in movies you see a bookstore with nearly everything you want, staff full of knowledge and knowing advice. That place feels like magic. This is that place

An insightful and moving story told through the etes of a young woman struggling with anxiety. The end is hopeful, though, as she seeks support and learns to live with her condition.
