The wearing of crash helmets by motor-cyclists (SS.277A)

H.M.S.O.

"Some men are born lucky, others are called Didius Falco."It's the first century CE in Rome and informer and occasional imperial agent Marcus Didius Falco is miserable. The high-born woman he fell in love with, Helena Justina, has broken off their stormy, impossible affair. So when Emperor Vespasian assigns Falco a task that will take him out of Rome, he can't wait. Disguised as vacationer in the company of his comrade Petronius Longus, captain of the Aventine Watch, Falco travels south to Neapolis, Capreae and Pompeii where he discovers a conspiracy involving the Egyptian grain shipment to Rome. He also stumbles across Helena Justina, conveniently also on a trip out of town, who might, unwittingly, be enmeshed in this dangerous, treasonous scheme. Lindsey Davis' Shadows in Bronze is historical mystery at its best.

Common Sense by Thomas Paine is the most compelling case for freedom ever made. It's the most influential book in American History. It's not just a book for Americans but a case for humanity and it's ideas are as relevant today as ever.There's just one problem. Published in 1776 it was written in Old English and it could very well be another language for someone trying to read it today. The original manuscript is nearly impossible to understand.For the first time ever it's been translated into modern English so that everyone can read and understand it. It's a book that offers nothing more than simple facts, plain arguments and commonsense. Some people won't agree with the principles, but it doesn't make them any less true today than they were when it was originally written.

How to read Common Sense by Thomas Paine without having to learn Old English as a second language. If you want to read Common Sense, this book is the easiest way to do it. Here's why, it's translated in modern English. Common Sense by Thomas Paine in a language you can understand.  If you've ever tried to read it you know what I'm talking about. It was one of, if not the most influential books in American history. But it was written over 200 years ago and the old English it's written in, is nearly impossible to understand.  You have to read everything five times to make any sense of it, and even then,you're lucky if you understand it. There're words we don't use any more. The speaking style is basically backwards how we speak now, and the whole thing, is written in run on sentences. Try reading that. Try reading a book that completely turns up side down the way you would normally speak, with words sprinkled in that you don't know the meaning of, all written in sentences aslong as a paragraph.   Why is Common Sense by Thomas Paine still important today? It was written over 200 years ago to address the issue of independence from Britain. Why is it still important in American government and politics today? Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense before we we're even a country. At its core it was a call for independence from Britain, but it was also a book about freedom and the proper construction of government. It's a philosophical debate. Because of that, not everybody's going to understand or agree with it. But, it will expose the underlying problems that we see in politics today. To understand the relevance of Common Sense, it's critical to understand why it was so important in the first place. This is the translated book Common Sense by Thomas Paine, translated to modern English by Christopher Scott.  Common Sense in plain English. Translated, carefully keeping the original meaning.  A book about principle. The origin of government. Logic and reason. The world's most compelling call for freedom. Thomas Paine brought back to life. It's the strongest case for freedom ever made and a must read for anyone who wants to understand what freedom and government are supposed to be. Written in plain language everyone can understand it explains the natural relationship between government and people.  This is the best way to read Common Sense by Thomas Paine, because you'll be able to understand it and enjoy it.
