Book Description
From humble beginnings, Rome became perhaps the greatest intercontinental power in the world. Why did this historic city become so much more influential than its neighbor, nearby Latium, which was peopled by more or less the same stock? Over the years, historians, political analysts, and sociologists have discussed this question ad infinitum, without considering one underlying factor that led to the rise of Rome--the geology now hidden by the modern city.
This book demonstrates the important link between the history of Rome and its geologic setting in a lively, fact-filled narrative sure to interest geology and history buffs and travelers alike. The authors point out that Rome possessed many geographic advantages over surrounding areas: proximity to a major river with access to the sea, plateaus for protection, nearby sources of building materials, and most significantly, clean drinking water from springs in the Apennines. Even the resiliency of Rome's architecture and the stability of life on its hills are underscored by the city's geologic framework.
If carried along with a good city map, this book will expand the understanding of travelers who explore the eternal city's streets. Chapters are arranged geographically, based on each of the seven hills, the Tiber floodplain, ancient creeks that dissected the plateau, and ridges that rise above the right bank. As an added bonus, the last chapter consists of three field trips around the center of Rome, which can be enjoyed on foot or by using public transportation.

original.......2007-10-03
Original in many ways, it offers the accomplished tourist with an enrichment from a perspective that other guidebooks do not offer. Much has to be said about the materials of construction used for the Servian Walls, the bases of temples and columns, the marble columns of churches, the flooring of streets, roads, and churches. It exposes the source location of such building materials, its use, and the effect of its use through out the ages.
Sure, the photographs are not of first quality, but for a paperback of $15, they are good enough (pushing for color would have doubled the book price). Yet, some of the photographs are original, like the ones at the quarries. Also, the sinkhole diagrams are original, not even the local newspaper graphics department thought of that.
The author could have mentioned some other interesting facts (but didn't), like the Justice Department building ("Palazzaccio"), built with heavy travertine stone on a clay foundation, and the 1980 earthquake in Southern Italy which had a muffled effect in Rome due to the clay foundation.
Sadly, a missed opportunity .......2006-05-04
This should have been a wonderful book.
Instead it deeply flawed by very bad writing.
The narrative is about as exciting as a glass
of cold spit and the sentence construction
reads as if it came from the pen of a sixth
grader who slept through English class.
On top of an impenetrable writing style the many
photographs are all black and white, even when
colour photographs or art work would have
been better (the line draws are wonderful for
the most part, clearly showing essential
material).
The photographs further suffer
from poor quality/composition. For example
the photo’s on page 6, 8 and 9 showing the
Trevi Fountain at different scales are useless
without a magnifying glass, and a photo
interpreter’s loop would be even better.
Page 57 shows a sink hole that could be
from any part of the world and simply takes
up space to no real effect. Again and again
the photographs either add nothing to the
readers ability to understand the narrative or
indeed take away from the book.
1) page 91, the “church of San Vitate”
according to the legend it’s surrounded
by “debris. . .accumulated since medieval times”
But from the picture it looks like a fast food
restaurant under construction.
2) page 93, a picture of “Monte Testaccio”
which shows a grassy mound with bits of crumbling
masonry and a fence that could be Monte Testaccio
or could be a grassy mound in NJ.
3) p112, caption “you can see evidence of the gradual
slumping movement in the curved trunks of trees.”
No, you can’t, or at least I can’t. It’s a picture of
trees and brush that could be almost anywhere in the world.
IF the reader looks very carefully they may see a tiny road
sign in the background that, with a bit of imagination, might
seem to show the curve of the trees. Or might not.
4) Page 115, a big hole in the ground with an earth mover.
The picture quality is almost good enough to make out the
strata. Almost.
5) Page 128, a riveting picture of what is supposed to be
the “modern travertine quarry, Bagni di Tivoli . . .” Looks
like a broken wall, with rubble and another earth mover that
could have been taken at a construction site in Idaho.
Fortunately I got this from the library. A book worth
adding to your personal library, but not at retail price.
I’m going to wait and buy my copy from the bargain bin at
$5.00 or better yet, $0.99.

God I Loved This Book.......2001-06-22
Marcus is the misfit middle son of a disfunctional Roman family circa 118 AD, he insists on studying philosophy of all things! He's also in love with Tullia, who just happens to be the daughter of one of his father's numerous enemies, and worse still is engaged to be married to a rich, vulgar Syrian merchant. Then Tullia is kidnapped, literally before his eyes, and the only clue is a silver fish talisman - emblem of the secret and sinister cult of Christians. Horrified Marcus knows he must rescue her quickly before she's forced to take part in their abhorrent rites. Aided by Sixtus Julianus, an eccentric and aristocratic old recluse and expert on exotic cults, Marcus becomes intimately acquainted with the seamy underside of Roman society and discovers Christians aren't quite what he thought they were. Though she's carefully researched Roman etiquette and customs and early Christian heresies Hambly makes some very elementary mistakes about Roman names but other than that 'Search the Seven Hills' is very authentic. I just *loved* Sixtus, and the cynical Praetor Arrius, not to mention the endlessly bickering Christians.
not enough hambly in the world.......2001-04-04
Brilliant ! Worth every penny (and it does cost a lot of them). I am amazed that so early in her career you can see all the wonderful elements that light up her later Benjamin January and vampire mystery books. Dark, disillusioning, full of very bad people and protagonists who aren't exactly perfect either. All godd books require a good mystery, and Hambly's mysteries are the very best of the good books out there. They may never reprint this (given how easily offended some Christians get), so sink the money and buy a classic!
This is the same books as the Quirinel Hill Affair.......1999-08-27
The "Quirinal Hill Affair" was reissued under this new title "Search the Seven Hills". Actually, the title the author wanted was "The Babyeaters", because that is how non-Christians viewed this new religion--when they even differentiated between Christians and Jews! Impeccably researched mystery set in ancient Rome, a young man searches for the kidnapper of his feisty girlfriend. Fascinating glimpse of this time period and a great story that is still searching for a memorable title.
I wish she would try writing this style again........1998-11-03
I have to admit that I don't remember if this is the same book as the title, but I believe this may be a murder mystery set in ancient Rome - similar to the Falco mystery series by Lindsey Davis. If this is that book, then I highly recommend it. A young philosopher and his love seek a murderer. And how is the head of that strange new Christian religion, the Pope, involved? It has been seven years since I checked-out a much-battered book by Barbara Hambly from a library, but if this is that same book I wish she would try writing this style again.
Book Description
The Richmond campaign of April-July 1862 ranks as one of the most important military operations of the first years of the American Civil War. Key political, diplomatic, social, and military issues were at stake as Robert E. Lee and George B. McClellan faced off on the peninsula between the York and James Rivers. The climactic clash came on June 26-July 1 in what became known as the Seven Days battles, when Lee, newly appointed as commander of the Confederate forces, aggressively attacked the Union army. Casualties for the entire campaign exceeded 50,000, more than 35,000 of whom fell during the Seven Days.
This book offers nine essays in which well-known Civil War historians explore questions regarding high command, strategy and tactics, the effects of the fighting upon politics and society both North and South, and the ways in which emancipation figured in the campaign. The authors have consulted previously untapped manuscript sources and reinterpreted more familiar evidence, sometimes focusing closely on the fighting around Richmond and sometimes looking more broadly at the background and consequences of the campaign.

Pure Fantasy, but Interesting Reading.......2007-03-10
John Maddox Roberts is the pseudonym of Mark Ramsay, author of numerous works of science fiction and fantasy, in addition to his successful historical SPQR mystery series. He lives in New Mexico with his wife.
This book is a sequel to Hannibal's Children, in which the author asked the hypothetic question as to what would have happened to Rome and its empire, if Hannibal had received the reinforcements he needed to drive home his attack. What if Rome had fallen to the might of Carthage and then rose again?
Although the question posed is purely speculation and of course nobody will ever know what the consequences might have been, the book does make interesting reading, as long as you remember that the author is a writer of fantasy.
A Great read.......2006-10-30
My Opinion:
The story here is all fiction ,it is really good though.A must read for any historical fiction or Roman fan.You dont have to read the first novel in this series to have a great read with this one.
Plot:
The Romans have returned to wage war on their enemy Carthage.The story follows two Roman generals who hate each other and the kingdoms of Egypt,Carthage and the Roman senate.
What I liked about it:
Roberts includes great detail of the armies and the fights that they wage.His writing style is fast paced,but very good in form.A quick and very entertaining read.When I finished I wished I had the last book to read.
Somewhat pointless series, desperately awaiting a sequel.......2006-10-25
This series (which I only started with The Seven Hills, since Hannibal's Children appeared to be nonexistent in all my local bookstores) offers a sort of alternate history involving Hannibal winning the Second Punic War (a fat chance, in my studies, but w/e)
Leaving out the whole situation which appears to be not limited to the first one, but continued on, this alternate history is a very quick, somewhat entertaining read, but significantly lacking in something... some kind of depth or whatever that other historical fictions have that leaves you thinking "that was so good, I want to re-read it soon"
Plotwise, not much seems to change for Rome after it re-invades Italy utterly unopposed (which I find highly unbelievable for the Carthaginians to abandon such rich farmland and trading opportunities, and the other Italian tribes to be too incompetent to capitalize on this), and suddenly Rome and perhaps even the world is right where it is supposed to be before the First Punic War, geographically.
The First and Second Punic War begin to replay at once, with Rome invading Sicily and crushing the Carthaginian forces there, while Carthage leads an army up through Iberia and Gaul and into Italy (mirroring Hannibal Barca) while a Carthaginian fleet is obliterated (not by the Romans, though)
Then we're taken to Egypt, where we're suddenly supposed to believe that were it not for Rome, Egypt would have prospered (despite the constant wars with the diadochi which were truly Egypt's ruin) with a philosophy school inventing crazy new technologies (such as a tubular device allowing you to see far distances, a ship that can move underwater, and a machine which can allow a man to fly! Imagine Roman legionaries riding to battle on bicycles!)
This little Egypt subplot seems a bit unnecessary, and just flouting an unrelated "what-if?" involving introducing later era technology into the ancient era of Rome/Carthage.
There's a lot of seeming nonsense going on with the two main characters (who are apparently supposed to mirror some real-life historical counterparts, [I'm guessing, very vaguely, Pompeius and Caesar] but don't do a very good job of it) involving one Titus Norbanus wanting to march his army from Egypt, up through Syria, Asia Minor, Greece, and back to Italy, hoping to achieve a glory the likes of Alexander in doing so (loony), while Marcus Cornelius Scipio stays in Egypt, at the mercy of the Queen Cleopatra Selene with her team of philosophers building the new technology.
The book suddenly ends on a cliffhanger in which Titus Norbanus and Marcus Scipio (apparently rivals) race to meet at the walls of Carthage, to finally destroy them once and for all.
All in all, it wasn't worth the money I spent getting it new (would've rather gotten it used) and it doesn't seem to break new ground---nothing important seems to change with Carthage winning the war, except everything the Romans would have done within that 115 year time period has not happened, essentially leaving the entire world exactly as it was during the time of the Second Punic Wars, and the Romans come back down into Italy without so much as a pitched battle. Not cool.
A solid work with few flaws.......2006-02-18
This author is one of the best if not THE best author of historical fiction set in ancient Rome. His knowledge of Ancient history is exceptional. In addition, as this is an alternative fiction universe, he is not afraid to test the boundaries of "what if"? The Romans came up with some of the greatest engineering ideas of all time. This just takes things a step further.
The novel is enjoyable, entertaining, and engaging. Probably more so for someone who is interested in this era of history. It gives the reader an idea of what life would be like for a Senator in the curia, an ambitious general leading legions in a far off land, and a seasoned soldier who is willing to find new ways to win glory for the Senate and People of Rome.
Fascinating, But Spinning Out of Control.......2006-01-13
The previous book in this series, Hannibles Children, started with an interesting premise, which was the Romans coming back after a defeat in the Second Punic War. The Seven Hills seems to be spinning out of control, though, in unbelievable directions.

THE PREQUEL TO THE CROSSING
In Bunker Hill, Howard Fast provides insight into both American and British points of view during the battle for control of Boston in June 1775-the outcome of which would dramatically influence the strategies of George Washington and Sir William Howe for the rest of the war. Most dramatic of all is the battle for Breed's and Bunker hills: On one side, a few hundred American men and boys, fighting in the fashion they learned from the American Indians; on the other, three thousand soldiers of the mightiest army on Earth. What follows is one of the bloodiest battles of the American Revolution. There, for a moment in time, the American rebels turned back Europe's best-trained soldiers before they were forced to flee.

IN THE TIME OF THE AMERICAN NATIONAL LIBERATION STRUGGLE.......2006-11-02
In the ordinary course of events my tastes run to history rather than historical novels. As is the current fashion there is much "blood and gore", sex and general buffoonery to round out an event that would not seemingly be subject to novel treatment. Nevertheless, Howard Fast' s despiction of the fateful events which led up to the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775 offers an interesting insights into the various ways that the British imperialist presence in America expressed itself through its officer corps and civilain loyalist forces. Naturally enough, that manner produced a profound negative reaction on the part of the rebellious "colonials"- our forbears. Without intending to do so directly the novel provides a cautionary tale about the pitfalls for the United States imperialist presence in the world today-particularly in Iraq.
One of the issues presented here is the question of the abilities of the "colonials" to fight to the end for their national liberation. The Concord and Lexington actions were basically an ad hoc, individualistic resistance. That question of American committment to national liberation , at least by those on the local firing line here, gets answered in the affirmative here and some of those who provided military leadership at Bunker Hill were among those who led the Continental Congress military forces throughout the war. For the umpteenth time we find out that conventional military superiority does not always trump well-led and determined national liberation forces prepared to take heavy loses in order to assure victory. That fact too is a cautionary tale for our times.
Solid Historical Fiction.......2002-08-23
Mr. Fast's relatvely short, but gripping account of the events leading to the Battle of Bunker Hill. His focus on a colonial doctor as protagonist provides an interesting and different viewpoint on the battle. The protrayal of the British Officers including Howe and Clinton made them look to be more interested in their misstresses than the war. Perhaps that was historical.
The climatic battle scene is first rate. Clinton's statement to console Howe after the destruction of his grenadiers that, "London does not count the bodies, just the victories" was very memorable.
A good read but lacks that last bit of sparkle to get a 5 star rating.
A "you are there" portrait of the Battle for Breed's Hill.......1999-10-26
Howard Fast's sparkling prose and keen insight for historical detail come together very well in this novel concerning the seven days leading up to the Battle of Bunker/Breed's Hill in the early days of the American Revolution. A wonderful read which works well as a follow-up to Fast's "April Morning."

From the back cover.......2006-07-21
The legendary Lucrezia Borgia did everything with a passionate intensity. She loved with a burning lust. She hated with a ruthless violence. There wasn't another woman in all of Rome who could rival her exquisite beauty - or her incredible power. As the only daughter of Pope Alexander VI, she was showered with every luxury and privilege. But being a Borgia also meant having a certainand inescapable responsibility to the family. Lucrezia learned early that she would never simply love and marry. A Borgia's destiny was always carefully arranged - and there wasn;t any way for Lucrezia to excape hers...
Fascinating portrait.......2006-05-16
For someone who does not have pre-conceived notions about Lucrezia Borgia, this is where you have to start. As always Jean Plaidy succeeds in giving us background and sympathy to understand this beautiful woman. The book starts at the beginning with Cardinal Borgia and Lucrezia'a mother and proceeds to paint a fascinating picture of the Borgia family. Their closeness and family feeling being mis-understood by everyone. It also sheds light on Ceasare and Giovanni, who are the focal point of Lucrezia's childhood, as well as Guilia and other important players. The first book (Madonna of the Seven Hills) leads up and concludes dramatically as Lucrezia is getting ready to receive her second bridegroom.
It would be helpful if..........2003-11-06
I haven't read this book. It would be helpful if someone who spoke both English and Spanish could translate the review preceding this one. I tried to translate it myself, and for what it's worth to those of you out there who'd like to read the reviews of this much beloved author, I think it says:
"This is the first part of the history of the life of Lucretia Borgia, which continues in (some other book with Lucretia in the title) by the same author. Lucretia lived during the Italian Renaissance, or the 15th and 16th centuries. She was the natural daughter (illegitimate) of Alexander VI. (I think the next part indicates that she was involved in an incestuous relationship with her father and brothers. I am NOT sure of that.) This is an interesting, serious tale of a time of licentiousness and corruption."
That's my best translation. I hope it helps someone; if it instead infuriates someone with my poor translation, please, by all means, translate it for us.
For those who don't know who Lucretia Borgia was, I will add that she was a Florentine woman from a rich banking family, widely believed to poison her enemies. She was a beautiful, manipulative, and cunning individual who has proven to be quite interesting in other books I've read about her, but she does tend to be rather mythologized.
Lucrecia Borgia - Parte I.......2000-04-07
Este libro es la primera parte de la historia de la vida Lucrecia Borgia, que continúa con "Luz sobre Lucrecia" de la misma autora. Lucrecia Borgia fue una mujer que vivió en la Italia Renacentista de los siglos XV y XVI. Hija natural del papá Alejandro VI, esta mujer sería tristemente recordada como envenenadora, asesina, y por mantener una supuesta relación incestuosa con su padre y hermanos. Es un relato interesante sobre la vida licenciosa de los Papas, en una época en donde el poder y la riqueza corrompían a cualquier persona.

Book Description
"God lives in my hometown."
History associates four ancient world capitals as having "seven hills:" Byzantium, Babylon, Jerusalem, and Rome. On seven hills four hours south of Washington, D.C., sits Lynchburg, Virginia, a town built on a river and put together with good intentions. Over one-hundred churches in fifty square miles.
Brooks White lives in these hills; too old to be a teenager, too young to be an adult. Every day he strives to be what the people around him become so easily; happy with themselves and joyful in their faith. He is surrounded by the normalcy of a town full of people waiting to die.
Brought home by the suicide of his childhood friend, Brooks is comforted by a white haired girl who seems to show up as his loved ones pass away. Their story is the pain, agony, Japanese wrestling, and grilled cheese that comes with living.

Good if you're at all interested in Lynchburg, VA..........2006-12-19
Having recently moved to Lynchburg, I came upon this book while searching for books about the city. It sounded interesting, and I was excited to read it. I will say that it was a decent book; however, I definitely had to plow through some parts. I agree with one of the previous reviewers that B. Thompson Stroud's writing is most likely an acquired taste. I feel it is worthy to mention that it was not only neat to read about some of the places I have come to know in this city--not many people write about little old Lynchburg--as well as have some amusing anecdotes about pop culture.
An honest and heartfelt novel.......2005-09-12
There really isn't much I can say about Seven Hill City that hasn't already been said. This book is very easy to relate to on a basic level because it is something everyone has to go through: to grow up. We each go through it in a different way and it can be hard and disappointing in some cases, but it is a reality we all must face. With so many specific parts that I loved to the story, it's hard to go through and list every single one. Overall, it's the honest way that B treats the story that makes me love it so much. It's not a glossed over hollywood ending or a mauldin tragedy, it's just real. The thoughts and emotions of someone in their early twenties is something that is hard to capture, but B manages to do so successfully. I highly reccommend this book for all of these reasons and so much more.
I am a better person for reading Seven Hill City.......2005-03-03
I have read B's stuff for a little while now, and when I found out that he wrote a book I jumped on the opportunity to purchase. I truly enjoyed this book. Every chapter hit me in a different way and I thought about my life while I read. He helped me find things out about my relationship with god that I never would have by myself. I am a much happier person, and I guess you could say that his book 'changed my life'. It is so well executed that I actually cried during one of the chapters, and you can tell that he put his heart and soul into his book. Order this book today. It is well worth the time and the money, and you will not regret it I promise you.
Not too shabby, but won't get plugged by Oprah........2005-01-26
I wouldn't rate this 5 stars, but it was a decent read. The parts about pop culture are pretty good, but the "drama" can be a little plodding. Definitely an acquired taste.
this is why b=best.......2004-07-01
i am a long time fan of b's work. when i heard on wd that he wrote a book, i was like 'YES!! I HAVE TO GET IT!!!' it was a million times better than i expected (and i had high expectations, which makes it really really good!! if that makes ANY SENSE WHAT-SO-EVER.)
but yeah, the book was absolutely wonderful and it sits in the drawer under my bed so i can quickly get to it and read. the characters are very vivid and the imagination was awesome. there were some parts that i didn't understand, but they were later explained, and i liked that element of the story. I do love the ending also, its just so...unreal. i love it.
