From the celebrated British author and historian: a brilliant new book combining historical inquiry and storytelling lan to paint an unprecedentedly vivid portrait of Socrates and the Golden Age of classical Athens.We think the way we do because Socrates thought the way he did; in his unwavering commitment to truth and in the example of his own life, he set the standard for all subsequent Western philosophy. And yet, for twenty-five centuries, he has remained an enigma: a man who left no written legacy and about whom everything we know is hearsay. His life spanned "seventy of the busiest, most wonderful and tragic years in Athenian history." Athens in the fifth century B.C. was a city devastated by war, but, at the same time, transformed by the burgeoning process of democracy. Drawing on the latest sources--archaeological, topographical, and textual--Hughes re-creates the streets where Socrates walked, to place him there, and to illuminate for us the world as he experienced it.

Attractive, well-made functional storage
Color: Dusty Blue, Size: 2 Layers, 20 Hooks
I'm quite happy with this product. It's an orderly and attractive way to store a lot of jewelry. I've put my favorites in the visible front drawer and can easily see the rest by pulling out the back drawer. I looked at a similar storage box with see-through panels on both sides, but it didn't look quite as well made and you'd have to turn it around to see side B (i.e., no less work than pulling out the back drawer). This unit feels well put together, looks nice, and sits stably on top my dresser. I'm only using it for chain-and-pendant style necklaces (leaving the bulkier stuff in an upright acrylic spoke-style container) but have it fully loaded and have doubled up on a few pegs. None of the pegs bent while I was adding pieces.
