You will not find a more complete and comprehensive medical resource. This book tackles every disease I can think of.

Covers the whole period extremely well and gives detailed descriptions of unit organizations, tactics and dress. Covers all the major combatants as well as short decriptions on many of the battles. An excellent book for anyone who is interested in descriptions of the variuos types of military units and tactics of the period.

I'm putting together a wargaming Early Imperial Roman Army. I have found this book to be useful in providing detail about all the areas in the title "organization, tactics, dress and weapons". The sections on dress and equipment can be a little tedious but provide an excellent reference. I enjoyed the section on the major battles of the period but found the descriptions a little short, but that I dare say is another book in itself. As a general reference for the period the author has done an excellent job.

This is an exploration of the nature of the new media, what sets it apart from other media, and the implications this has for the process of creating works in hypermedia. His section on the creation of electronic books is particularly interesting. (Note the useful supporting illustration on page 140, Figure 5.4, "Design model for electronic book production").
