the book cover for rubicon by tom holland
Rubicon, from Tom Holland, covers Roman History, during Julius Caesar's reign and shortly thereafter. The Rubicon is significant in that Caesar crossed it after his Germanic campaigns and he knew that he would be forced to wage war against his own people. This long book also covers much of the political intrigue during and shortly after Caesar's comparatively long reign.

the art of watching films dvd
The Art of Watching Films is a large tome. It consists of over 600+ pages. Easy to read, this book is more of a textbook. In it, the book tackles lighting and directing techniques. This tome also directs film critics and other film aficionados on how to dissect films and how to see films in different categories.
