Playing Card Divination
Author: Stephen Ball
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780738764900
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Turn a standard deck of playing cards into a colorful divinatory system filled with inspiration, adventure, insight, and advice.

Each card has a unique meaning--for example, the Healer's Triumph card represents gratitude, recognition, and teamwork--and a story that helps you develop a deeper understanding of the cards. With spread ideas, sample readings, and detailed advice, this book shows how to develop your own path of wisdom with a simple deck of cards.

Legions of Rome
Author: Stephen Dando-Collins
Publisher: Quercus
ISBN: 1623652014
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
No book on Roman history has attempted to do what Stephen Dando-Collins does in Legions of Rome: to provide a complete history of every Imperial Roman legion and what it achieved as a fighting force. The author has spent the last thirty years collecting every scrap of available evidence from numerous sources: stone and bronze inscriptions, coins, papyrus and literary accounts in a remarkable feat of historical detective work. The book is divided into three parts: Part 1 provides a detailed account of what the legionaries wore and ate, what camp life was like, what they were paid and how they were motivated and punished. The section also contains numerous personal histories of individual soldiers. Part 2 offers brief unit histories of all the legions that served Rome for 300 years from 30BC. Part 3 is a sweeping chronological survey of the campaigns in which the armies were involved, told from the point of view of particular legions. Lavish, authoritative and beautifully produced, Legions of Rome will appeal to ancient history enthusiasts and military history buffs alike.
