Classical Studies - Penguin Complete Greeks and Romans Collection
Ranked #7,575 in Books, Poetry & Writing, #270,272 overall
Classical Studies Made Easy
Much of Western Civilization is derived from the works of the ancient Greeks and Romans, so a foundation in the Classics is essential not only for its direct benefits, but to fully understand the modern classics which often refer to them.
Amazon apparently has NOT done away with this collection without even the courtesy of leaving the page live for "used & new" sellers -- but the page has been AWOL for some time. We're leaving this page up in case Amazon gets their act together and because most people just pick a title or two from the top-sellers list anyway..

The Whole Ed Cata-Blog
I've never quite been sure what distinguishes a blog from a regular webpage. Timeliness seems to have something to do with it, but that doesn't seem to be a hard and fast rule.
Anyway, here are some of the things I've been working on lately...
