Book excerpt: Historical novel that narrates the experiences of a Greek fishing family during the first Punic War Almices Theopoulos, a young fisherman, lives with his family on Samos, an island in the Greek Dodecanese. The casual rescue of some castaways causes tragedy in his family. The year 264 BC, after Alexander the Great, Carthage and Rome are the new superpowers of the time, whose conflicting interests lead to the first Punic War. In an exciting drama the characters will be immersed in the warlike conflict that surrounds them, fighting against masters, crises, diseases and setbacks of destiny. A story about daily life of the pre-Roman era in the Mediterranean, from the Greek islands to Tyre, Alexandria or Carthage. A novel that combines the evolution of the main characters with historical facts, the result of a deep investigation that is presented to the reader in a time as unknown as it is fascinating: the Mediterranean of the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, Romans and pirates, slaves and freedmen; of the individual who then had no value as a human being and yet how great he would become.

Download or read book Field Guide to Samos and the Menderes Massif written by Klaus Gessner and published by Geological Society of America. This book was released on 2011 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this field-trip guide we explore the tectonics of Samos and the Menderes Massif, two fascinating areas within the eastern Mediterranean section of the Tethyan orogen. We include detailed outcrop descriptions, maps, and diagrams to explore along-strike variations in the Hellenide-Anatolide orogen, including the architecture of the Early Tertiary Alpine nappe stack and its strong Miocene extensional overprint. The suggested itinerary is based on the 2010 Geological Society of America Field Forum "Significance of Along-Strike Variations for the 3-D Architecture of Orogens: The Hellenides and Anatolides in the Eastern Mediterranean." We start the outcrop descriptions with Day 1 in Samos, where, untypically for the N-S-stretched Aegean region, Miocene extension is E-W. We describe a section in western Samos, where the Cycladic Blueschist Unit is in contact with the underlying External Hellenides along a large-scale thrust, reactivated as a Miocene top-east extensional shear zone. The focus of Day 2 is on high-pressure assemblages in northern Samos. The following three days explore the Anatolide Belt in western Turkey where the Menderes nappes-also known as the Menderes Massif-form the tectonic footwall below the Cycladic Blueschist Unit. The outcrops in western Anatolia include the Cycladic Blueschist Unit in the area around Selcuk (Day 3) and sections across the Bozdaĝ and Aydin Mountains including the Kuzey and Güney detachment faults and the Cycladic Menderes Thrust (Days 4 and 5). Outcrops on Day 6 showcase structures along the southern margin of the Menderes Massif in the Milas-Selimiye area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the giants on whose shoulders we stand, Aristarchos of Samos, the ancient Greek all-rounder, has proved to be especially tall: no one else (not even Einstein, to mention an iconic figure) has ever discovered anything (of like importance) that took so long to dawn on the rest of humanity. His achievement was extraordinary: with nothing more than the naked eye and the mind of a genius, he got to know the Sun’s distance better than anyone else before, and he put the Earth in motion around the Sun for the first time in human awareness. The present book examines what history has spared of him and invites the reader to relive astronomy’s finest hour.
