Classical Latin
Extensively field-tested and fine-tuned over many years, and designed specifically for a one-year course, JC McKeown's Classical Latin: An Introductory Course offers a thorough, fascinating, and playful grounding in Latin that combines the traditional grammatical method with the reading approach. In addition to grammar, paradigms, and readings, each chapter includes a variety of extraordinarily well-crafted exercises that reinforce the grammar and morphology while encouraging the joy of linguistic and cultural discovery.
A Cabinet of Ancient Medical Curiosities
A light-hearted portrait of the origins of modern medicine in the ancient world
A Cabinet of Roman Curiosities
Here is a whimsical and captivating collection of odd facts, strange beliefs, outlandish opinions, and other highly amusing trivia of the ancient Romans. We tend to think of the Romans as a pragmatic people with a ruthlessly efficient army, an exemplary legal system, and a precise and elegant language. A Cabinet of Roman Curiosities shows that the Romans were equally capable of bizarre superstitions, logic-defying customs, and often hilariously derisive views of their fellow Romans and non-Romans. Classicist J. C. McKeown has organized the entries in this entertaining volume around major themes--The Army, Women, Religion and Superstition, Family Life, Medicine, Slaves, Spectacles--allowing f...

The Hippocrates Code
In this book lies a key for decoding modern medical terminology, a living language that, despite some quirks, is best approached as an ordered system. Rather than presenting a mere list of word elements to be absorbed through rote memorization, The Hippocrates Code offers a thorough, linguistically-centered explanation of the rules of the terminological game, both for the language of medicine and for scientific vocabulary in general. Its careful exposition of Latin and Greek linguistic principles—along with a healthy dose of innovative exercises—empowers students to successfully employ the word elements that are the building blocks of modern medical terminology. Along the way, fascinatin...
A Cabinet of Greek Curiosities
A miscellany of odd stories and facts about the ancient Greeks, demonstrating how much they were--and were not--like us.
Gas Transport in Glassy Polymers
This Special Issue of Membranes focuses on several new aspects of fluid transport in glassy polymers, with application in relevant membrane separations such as gas purification, VOC removal and CO2 capture. In particular, the focus lies on novel experimental techniques, and detailed characterization of specific phenomena like polar and multicomponent interactions during transport. The properties of novel materials, such as mixed matrix membranes based on glassy polymers and different selective fillers, are also presented. A critical review of existing modeling approaches to describe the sorption and transport in glassy polymers suitable for membrane separations is provided, including both macroscopic and atomistic models, and relying both on the standard solution–diffusion process and on the facilitated transport mechanism.
