'This remarkable book both demonstrates clearly the liveliness and range of [intellectual life in the late Roman Republic] and assesses them critically. ... [an] extraordinarily stimulating book, in which Rawson has opened wide a window on a much neglected aspect of Roman life. It is a fine achievement.' Alan Douglas, Classical Review

What do Scott Joplin, John Grisham, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Maya Angelou, Brooks Robinson, Helen Gurley Brown, Johnny Cash, Alan Ladd, and Sonny Boy Williamson have in common? They’re all Arkansans. What do hillbillies, rednecks, slow trains, bare feet, moonshine, and double-wides have in common? For many in America these represent Arkansas more than any Arkansas success stories do. In 1931 H. L. Mencken described AR (not AK, folks) as the “apex of moronia.” While, in 1942 a Time magazine article said Arkansas had “developed a mass inferiority complex unique in American history.” Arkansas/Arkansaw is the first book to explain how Arkansas’s image began and how the popular culture stereotypes have been perpetuated and altered through succeeding generations. Brooks Blevins argues that the image has not always been a bad one. He discusses travel accounts, literature, radio programs, movies, and television shows that give a very positive image of the Natural State. From territorial accounts of the Creole inhabitants of the Mississippi River Valley to national derision of the state’s triple-wide governor’s mansion to Li’l Abner, the Beverly Hillbillies, and Slingblade, Blevins leads readers on an entertaining and insightful tour through more than two centuries of the idea of Arkansas. One discovers along the way how one state becomes simultaneously a punch line and a source of admiration for progressives and social critics alike.Winner, 2011 Ragsdale Award

HUMOR FOR ROBOTS ONLY Departing from his usual style, Dr. Simmons writes about the zany adventures of Dr. Alan Rossum, the world's first robotic doctor. The style of the story has been compared to Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Rossum is a handsome, always helpful, extremely humanlike doctoroid, yethe is also fireproof, wrinkle-proof, germ-retardant, buoyant, fearless, battery-powered, and shrink-resistant. He is the ultimate answer to both the high cost of medicine and to grumpy physicians whotend to run late. Not only can he treat every affliction known to man and some extraterrestrials in a timely manner, but he can perform any operation at record speed. He can also jump higher and run faster than any doctor at Mt. Sinai Hospital, in El Cemento, California. This is his first month on staff and there are a number or bizarre and sinister forces afoot to block his successes. Indeed, to prevent the evolution of robotic medicine.

The Pleasure Trap boldly challenges conventional wisdom about sickness and unhappiness in today's contemporary culture and offers groundbreaking solutions for achieving change. Authors Douglas Lisle, Ph.D., and Alan Goldhamer,D.C., provide a fascinating new perspective on how modern life can turn so many smart, savvy people into the unwitting saboteurs of their own well-being. Inspired by stunning original research, comprehensive clinical studies, and their successes with thousands of patients, the authors integrate principals of evolutionary biology with trailblazing, proactive strategies for wellness to argue that people who are chronically overweight, sick and ailing, or junk food junkies aren't that way because they're lazy, undisciplined, or stuck with bad genes. Most are victims of a dilemma that harkens back to our prehistoric past "the Pleasure Trap." Follow Lisle and Goldhamer's clinical experience and scientific investigations, along with new developments in human motivational psychology,to discover solutions for the challenges of keeping on a healthful course and how to make the most of your life.This audiobook contains eight CD's and runs for 9 hours.
