Book Description
The Roman Empire was a remarkable achievement. It had a population of sixty million people spread across lands encircling the Mediterranean and stretching from drizzle-soaked northern England to the sun-baked banks of the Euphrates in Syria, and from the Rhine to the North African coast. It was, above all else, an empire of force - employing a mixture of violence, suppression, order, and tactical use of power to develop an astonishingly uniform culture. This Very Short Introduction covers the history of the Empire from Augustus (the first Emperor) to Marcus Aurelius, describing how the empire was formed, how it was run, its religions and its social structure. It examines how local cultures were "romanised" and how people in far away lands came to believe in the emperor as a god. The book also examines how the Roman Empire has been considered and depicted in more recent times, from the writings of Edward Gibbon, to the differing attitudes of the Victorians and recent Hollywood blockbuster films.

Excursions through Imperial Rome.......2007-06-25
This Very Short Introduction is blessedly free of the typos that usually infect this otherwise excellent series, and for once, the illustrations are relevant, indeed central, to the text. There is a timeline and a very useful map at the end of the book, but the text itself is not a conventional, chronological narrative of the rise of Empire. It is rather a series of essays on a selection of topics, covering the period from Augustus to Commodus, that is, from around 30 BC to about AD 190. These excursions through aspects of the subject are concerned almost as much with how history is rewritten and reinterpreted as it is with the actual facts of history. There is an emphasis on architecture, particularly as an expression of social status and political ideology, an emphasis that will suit the taste of some readers more than others. The prose is clear and very readable, with the occasional topical, colloquial flourish ("The Empire writes back", "Through the keyhole") which can seem somewhat forced. Authoritative and illuminating, this little book is an essential addition to the reading list of anyone interested in ancient history.
Lives up to billing.......2007-03-30
It is indeed very short, and quite pleasant to read. No doubt the author might have selected other topics from the vast field of possibilities, but in the spirit of reviewing the book he wrote rather than some other that he might possibly have written I must rate this quite highly. He manages a balance between political and social history, with a dollop of economic history as well, and adds a coda about the uses to which Roman history is put in the modern world, including commentary about films.
Outlines Debates within the Empire, Engenders a Realistic Understanding of It.......2007-03-16
The author highlights some distinguishing aspects of the Roman Empire that are quite interesting. Among these: the bureaucracy that governed the huge geographic area of the Empire was astonishingly small, compared to later empires. The chapter on Christians is quite interesting, particularly the "martyr complex" of the early communities of the faithful and their belief that the world's end was imminent.
There is a good outline of debates within the Roman empire at the time, about how civilized an empire that used brutal means to establish and maintain its authority really was.
some strong chapters, .......2007-01-09
especially the first, and some surprising omissions. One finds little on Rome's view of their barbarian neighbors and their effect on Roman civilization. And Kelly includes nothing on slavery. Perhaps the overplus (for such a short book) of information on Roman houses, inscriptions, and monuments did not allow enough space for consideration of these topics.
Book Description
This book sketches the history of Roman Private Law from the Twelve Tables to modern times, and sets out the elements of the system. It does not attempt to summarize the whole law, but explains and evaluates its most characteristic and influential features.
Customer Reviews:
A great introduction to Roman law.......2004-10-10
A read this book as a student, and I found it an easy guide to the world of Roman law. Though today's legal systems share a common heritage from Roman law, the latter is still an alien system for lawyers today. It is thus not an easy task to present this exotic legal system and society as easy as Nicholas does in this book.
Nicholas - Roman Law.......2000-03-19
When I was a student at Oxford I specialised in Roman law. The tutorial system was very good at providing education in detail but bad at giving the wider picture. I survived on Nicholas to keep my sanity. Other writers deal with the subject in greater depth (von Lubtow, Daube, Jolovicz, Schulz etc) but he does a unique job, so far as I am aware, in producing a comprehensible overall map. I reccomend it highly to anyone interested in Roman law.

Mears, T. Lambert, Translator. The Institutes of Gaius and Justinian, The Twelve Tables, and the CXVIIIth and CXXVIIth Novels, With Introductions and Translation. London: Stevens and Sons, 1882. lx, 626 pp. Reprinted 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 978-1-58477-440-2. ISBN-10: 1-58477-440-1. Cloth. $150. * With an extensive introduction. Mears arranged both Institutes in parallel columns to facilitate comparisons between them. Passages copied from Gaius are printed in italics. The two Novels, which deal with intestate succession, are included because they supplanted the part of Justinian's Institutes that deals with this subject. This compilation offers an excellent introduction to Roman law and its evolution from the first to sixth centuries CE.

Book Description
By combining quantum chemical and statistical approaches in one volume, this book acts as a guide through many of the methods used in the theory of solutions and shows how to apply findings to solve various solution chemistry problems. Part One discusses methods of quantum chemistry and statistical physics as applied to simulation of liquid phase properties, and Part Two covers the applications of the methods in the study of the properties of infinitely diluted electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions, the mechanisms of association, and chemical reactions. For organic and physical chemists, biochemists, and biophysicists.

Excellent technology review of the promise of optics.......1999-08-23
This book provides an excellent review of the present and future application of optical science. I found it useful in providing reference points and applications for optics in the real world. Several policy directions should be taken note of by the US government. I am especially interested and doing research in the direction of LEDs for energy efficient white lighting.
