Starting with the most meagre resources, Philip made his kingdom the greatest power in Europe The Greek historian Diodorus of Sicily is one of our most valuable sources from ancient times. His history, in forty volumes, was intended to range from mythological times to 60 BCE, and fifteen of The Library's forty books survive. This new translation by Robin Waterfield of books 16-20 covers a vital period in European history. Book 16 is devoted to Philip, and without it the career of this great king would be far more obscure to us. Book 17 is the earliest surviving account by over a hundred years of the world-changing eastern conquests of Alexander the Great, Philip's son. Books 18-20 constitute virtually our sole source of information on the twenty turbulent years following Alexander's death and on the violent path followed by Agathocles of Syracuse. There are fascinating snippets of history from elsewhere too - from Republican Rome, the Cimmerian Bosporus, and elsewhere. Despite his obvious importance, Diodorus is a neglected historian. This is the first English translation of any of these books in over fifty years. The introduction places Diodorus in his context in first-century-BCE Rome, describes and discusses the kind of history he was intending to write, and assesses his strengths and weaknesses as a historian. With extensive explanatory notes on this gripping and sensational period of history, the book serves as a unique resource for historians and students.Binding Type: Paperback

Good, working coffee maker!

A week with this guy and it has been great! Coffee is brewed quickly! Easy to clean and no mess pour! Size is perfect and exactly what we needed. Black of course is always the best color!

Good value. Decent coffee maker.
Color: Black, Style: coffeemaker
This is a decent pretty basic coffee maker. Nothing fancy but it’s programmable and has sneak a cup. That’s all I really care about. I was concerned after reading some reviews about the coffee tasting plastic and leaking. I’m glad that I have not experienced these issues. I bought this because all of the $70-$100 coffee makers I’ve bought die after a year or two anyway. So far so good.

It’s fine, very basic- light during brewing doesn’t work, but it still brews a good cup!
Color: Black, Style: coffeemaker
Sadly I accidentally dropped my coffee pot into my sink trying to wash it and it shattered the entire bottom, so I just bought a similar one, same brand.
It works fine, but it doesn’t work as the instructions say. Supposedly when you push the clock button to brew it will give you a green light on the left upper side, and when it’s done brewing it will have a red logo on the bottom right side. I cannot get it to give me the green light for brewing, but if I just hold the clock button down, I’ll hear it stat to gurgle and then it brews. So that part is definitely (at least on mine) not functioning properly, but I don’t care enough to return it and be without coffee another morning, and B&D is always a decent brand.
I have a $2800k fancy espresso/latte/cappuccino maker that grinds fresh beans and I use the plain old coffee pot way more because I drink too much coffee to make cup after cup, I want the whole carafe. Besides that one faulty light, it works like any other $35 coffee pot, no frills, and it gets the job done.

Simple, Powerful, and So Much Easier Than Traditional Vacuum Sealers
Color: White
I’ve used traditional vacuum sealers before, and this handheld one is honestly so much easier to work with. The design is simple and compact, and it takes up almost no space in the kitchen compared to the larger machines.
One thing I really appreciate is how easy it is to operate. The one-button design makes sealing quick, and the suction is surprisingly strong for such a small device. It removes the air from the bags quickly and seals everything tightly.
The bags themselves are also really well made. The material feels thick and durable, so I don’t have to worry about them puncturing easily, even when storing things with sharper edges. Being reusable is a big plus too.
Overall this has been a really convenient way to keep food fresh longer without dealing with a bulky machine. If you want something simple, effective, and easy to use for everyday food storage, this is a great option.
