The papyri of Egypt offer a rich and complex picture of this important Roman province and provide an unparalleled insight into how a Roman province actually worked. They also afford a valuable window into ancient economic behavior and everyday life. This study is the first systematic treatment of the role of land transport within the economic life of Roman Egypt, an everyday economic activity at the center of the economy not only of Egypt but ...

With photographs, maps and illustrations, this collection provides a new understanding of the role and importance of travel, and of the nature of geographical knowledge, in the Roman world.

The remains of the Roman roads are a powerful reminder of the travel and communications system that was needed to rule a vats and diverse empire. Yet, few people have questioned just how the Romans--both military and civilians--traveled or examined their geographical understanding in an era that offered a greatly increased potential for moving around and a much larger choice of destinations. The six expert contributors in this volume provide n...

Written by three gifted teachers, this book provides brief and highly readable explanations of the key topics of calculus without the technical details and fine print found in a formal text.

This is a witty, irreverent, and practical guide to mastering second and third semester calculus. Based on the premise that students learn best when presented with direct, concise, and informal information, the pedagogy captures the tone and content of students exchanging ideas among themselves.

Those with an interest in knots, both young and old, will enjoy reading "Why Knot? An Introduction to the Mathematical Theory of Knots." Colin Adams, well-known for his advanced research in topology and knot theory, is the author of this new book that brings his findings and his passion for the subject to a more general audience. Adams also presents a history of knot theory from its early role in chemistry to modern applications such as DNA re...
