This book can be used for both reference and reading, since it is written in a very accessible form. It covers all of Greek mythology, from earliest Hellenic history through Rome. Also, it contains an interesting bibliography.

La Boheme in all its glory. Full libretto with history of the story and music excerpts...original Italian text beside English translation. Easy to follow, great translation. For anyone who loves this opera this is a must have, or at the very least, a must-read. This is a fantastic piece of literature and a landmark theatre piece. This book captures the spendor of the opera well.

If there is such a thing as essential reading in metaphysics or in philosophy of language, this is it.
Ever since the publication of its original version, Naming and Necessity
has had great and increasing influence. It redirected philosophical
attention to neglected questions of natural and metaphysical necessity
and to the connections between these and theories of reference, in
particular of naming, and of identity.
