Three Political Voices from the Age of Justinian: Agapetus - Advice to the Emperor; Dialogue... Book

As far as explaining the weird physics and psychology of everyday life, I more than "liked" this book. It really was interesting and came up often in conversations with friends and coworkers. Were I to read it again, however, I would probably skip around more and read the chapters that really interested me rather than plowing through from cover to cover (something that my OCD-ness makes me do). It was also hard going from a very vibrantly written memoir to this. But I still liked it a lot, especially chapters on why time seems to go faster as we get older, whether you can sense people staring at you, how babies can count, and the like. I will probably use it in my 315 classes to show how it's possible to enter into academic conversations while using an engaging voice and avoiding the oh-so-stilted stylistics of the hard and social sciences.
