Daniel's Message
To everybody who knew him, Daniel seems to have the perfect life. Good job, loving wife, wonderful children. But what most people didn't know, was that Daniel was the victim of years of systematic abuse. Daniel kept journals written over decades, of his life, the abuse, and how he overcame it. For years these journals remained locked away, in a trunk, in his attic. Then by accident his beloved daughter Sonya stumbled across them. Curiosity took hold, and Sonya began to learn about the other side of her father's life. She would learn about her father's trials, tribulations, and how he overcame them. More importantly how a horribly abused child, was able to break the cycle of abuse, and become a caring, loving father. Daniel's Message is a roller coaster of a read, that will make you cry, and jump up and cheer!
Twentieth-Century Janissary
Although not entirely a happy memoir, this book looks back on the author’s life with a dash of humor. It reminds the author of his mostly painful yet rewarding challenges while growing up, and being a Greek orphan. In this book, he states that his life had an enormous toll on him, leaving deep scars that are diffi cult to heal. However, this story is not merely about the author’s life. It also contains several universal themes about childhood, adoption, how to raise children, and more. Touching and enlightening at the same time, Twentieth-Century Janissary: An Orphan’s Search For Freedom, Family, and Heritage also invites the younger generation of Greeks to cherish their heritage and legacy. This book is available in trade paperback, trade hardback, and eBook formats. For more information, interested parties may log on to www.Xlibris.com.

Heart Transplant
School bullying is universally decried, bemoaned, and condemned. Newspapers, magazines, television, and movies all reflect the ugly truth ... bullying is not only on the rise, but becoming more dangerous every day. Whether it's a teenager committing suicide as a result of a Facebook posting or a group of schoolchildren taunting another autistic child and filming it for the "entertainment" of others, the longest-lasting, deepest-scarring impact of bullying is emotional, not physical. Failure to understand this has handicapped an already-insipid series of failed "solutions." Heart Transplant is aimed at actually *changing* the way we deal with perhaps the most critical issue for children and p...
Cassius Dio’s Forgotten History of Early Rome
Cassius Dio’s Forgotten History of Early Rome brings together ten studies on the literary, historiographical, rhetorical, and generic and textual dimensions of the least explored section of Dio’s enormous history of Rome: Books 1–21.
Cassius Dio the Historian
"This volume focuses on Cassius Dio as a historian - the only historian who allows us to follow the developments of Rome's political institutions during a more than thousand year period, from the foundation of the city to Cassius Dio's retirement from public life in 229 CE. The volume explores the Roman historian's methodology and agendas, all of which influenced his approaches to Rome's history. It offers a reassessment that rests on a deeper study of his relationship with historiographical traditions as well as his narrative and structural approach to Roman history. It examines Cassius Dio as both a writer in the historiographic tradition with his own agenda for writing The Roman History and a historian with his own ambition to tell the history of Rome. Contributors are: Valérie Fromentin, Mads O. Lindholmer, Christopher Baron, Konstantin V. Markov, Josip Parat, Christopher Burden-Strevens, Adam M. Kemezis, Andrew G. Scott, Jesper M. Madsen, Alex Imrie, Graham Andrews, Eric Adler, Carsten H. Lange, Antonio Pistellato, Jesper Carlsen, Brandon Jones, Julie Langford"--
Cassius Dio: Greek Intellectual and Roman Politician
Winner of the 2017 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award Cassius Dio: Greek Intellectual and Roman Politician, a collection of essays on this historian, is the first to appear in the new Brill series Historiography of Rome and Its Empire. The volume brings together case studies that highlight various aspects of Dio’s Roman History, focusing on previously ignored or misunderstood aspects of his narrative. The main purpose of the volume is to pursue a combined historiographic, literary and rhetorical analysis of Dio’s work and of its political and intellectual agendas. Dio's work is often used as a handy resource, with scholars looking at isolated sections of his annalistic structure. Contrary to this approach, the volume puts emphasis on Cassius Dio and his Roman History in its historiographical setting, thus allowing us to link and understand the different parts of his work.
