Cicero's Philippics

Paperback

Author: Tom Stevenson

Customer Order Reference:

DoP 2009, NZ

After the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44BC, Mark Antony took control of Rome. Before the end of the year Cicero had taken on the leadership of the opposition in the Senate to Antony and his policies. The speeches made by Cicero against Antony, later published under the title Philippics, mounted a sustained attack on the way Antony exercised and abused his position of power. As historical sources the Philippics were often neglected and disparaged during the 20th century, but they have recently attracted renewed scholarly interest for their political significance and as models of Roman and especially senatorial oratory. The time when the speeches were delivered coincided with the early public career of the future emperor Augustus. Many of the ideas and much of the political vocabulary of the Philippics continued to resonate in the cultural life and imperial ideology of the Augustan principate. This volume ... more

Drawing the Waitakere Coast

order quantity

NZ$ 45.00 each

Hardback

Author: Don Binney

Customer Order Reference:

In 2008 the famous painter Don Binney completed a suite of 24 absolutely charming coloured pencil drawings
of Auckland's West Coast, from Huia to Te Henga (Bethells). They are evocative of the coast so many New
Zealanders love and they are magnificent works in themselves. They are accompanied by text that takes the
reader on an imaginary journey from Huia to Te Henga, commenting on the landmarks shown in each of the
drawings. They also draw on Binney's extensive contact with this coast and with the Waitakeres in general:
in early adulthood he tramped and camped throughout the area, he was a founder member of the Waitakere
Ranges Protection Society and he has often used his art to underpin his conservation-activist work. The book
is a beautiful keepsake-small and perfectly formed, as the drawings are. Deliberately inexpensive, it is
accessible to all. Lovers of the west will find it completely enchanting.
