Book Description
Much of what we know of Greco-Roman comedy comes from the surviving works of just four playwrights—the Greeks Aristophanes and Menander and the Romans Plautus and Terence. To introduce these authors and their work to students and general readers, this book offers a new, accessible translation of a representative play by each playwright, accompanied by a general introduction to the author's life and times, a scholarly article on a prominent theme in the play, and a bibliography of selected readings about the play and playwright. This range of material, rare in a single volume, provides several reading and teaching options, from the study of a single author to an overview of the entire Classical comedic tradition. The plays have been translated for readability and fidelity to the original text by established Classics scholars. Douglas Olson provides the translation and commentary for Aristophanes' Acharnians, Shawn O'Bryhim for Menander's Dyskolos, George Fredric Franco for Plautus' Casina, and Timothy J. Moore for Terence's Phormio.

The REBOUND: A Reflective Journey of a Man That Got a Chance at Life’s Reset By: Utaff W. Gordon Follow one man’s daily reflection about his residential rehabilitation from substance abuse, the relationships developed, and the transformation from having entered into a program with skepticism, distrust, and low self-esteem to becoming more open and realistic about his substance abuse, understanding the things that are TRULY important, and the support mechanisms that have been built to support his continued sobriety. The Rebound details the struggles of a man who has all of the things that a person works toward but that he was not ready for. This took place during a time where mental health had taken a tremendous toll in the pandemic, especially in the minority community. It is even tougher to come to terms with as a Black man in need of THERAPY. All his life he learned that “We are not supposed to have a ‘Therapist,’ we should figure it out on our own, muscle through.” It is the author’s hope that his shared experiences in rehab can give some in a similar circumstance hope because there is much to live for. To families or others that have someone they love experiencing the insidious nature of substance abuse, they need to know that as long as they are on this side of the grass… there is hope that their loved one can be truly healed.

Book Description
Author Jayme Alan Toomey Releases Another Disturbing Novel New harrowing tale that obscures faith and reason grips horror fiction aficionados VENTURA, Calif. Jayme Alan Toomey, author of the grand slam horror fiction stories Paging Dr. Kevorkian, Breakin Heads, and Written in Stupid, publishes another novel that will keep horror fiction fans at the edge of their seats. A Passin On is a blood-curling tale that obscures the borderline that delineates faith and delusion, reason and insanity, based on the queer life of a family headed by a self-proclaimed man of God. Father Joseph Rueben Levi commands a powerful and wise appearance. He is a tall, trim, middle-aged, self-proclaimed preacher who claims to have God-given and rightful authority. Dressed in black with a shepherds staff, he looks like a god. Christian and his younger brother, Chester, lost their family at a young age. Father Joseph adopted both boys as his own sons immediately after they were left orphaned. He wastes no time instructing them with the ways of God and reads the bible to them regularly, feeling it is his prioritized obligation. Christian remembers nothing about his real family except for one thing: they were brutally murdered right before his eyes by no other than Father Joseph himself. Told in a very gripping narrative, A Passin On will lead readers to a chain of violence, gore, disturbing preaching and shocking revelations. Readers will realize that sometimes, in the name of God and heaven, the thin line that divides morality and immorality can be blurred or erased altogether.
