	The publisher Canongate has begun a new book series, The Myths, asking contemporary authors to retell ancient mythological stories.&#160; Among the first volumes published in the Myths series is&#160; Weight: the Myth of Atlas and Heracles by Jeanette Winterson.&#160; It&#8217;s a short book - some 150 pages - but with&#160;a heavy topic.&#160;

	Italian food has
never been so sophisticated and so simple as it is when presented by
Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers, owners of London&#8217;s esteemed River
Cafe.&#160; This is the fifth&#160; &#8220;River Cafe&#8221; cookbook - the series
has a cult-like following - and if you haven&#8217;t used these cookbooks
yet, once you do you&#8217;ll probably want to own them all. [...]]]></description>

Darkened
by centuries of grime and soot, Michelangelo&#8217;s paintings in the Sistine
Chapel were cleaned in a painstaking process that began in the 1979 and
lasted thirteen years - three times longer than it took Michelangleo to
paint the ceiling.&#160; This
50-minute video documents the laborious cleaning process that brought
Michelangelo&#8217;s frescoes back to their original glory.&#160; If you&#8217;ve
ever been curious [...]]]></description>

	Here&#8217;s a brand new book
that aims to give us the inside view on Michelangelo and his quest for
artistic perfection - but this is not a book about the Sistine Chapel
ceiling or the Pieta. Rather this book details Michelangelo&#8217;s
quests for perfect blocks of marble in the quarries of Carrara in
Northern Italy.&#160; Author Eric Scigliano presents a [...]]]></description>

	Though at
first glance this book seems as if it would provide history and
analysis of Rome&#8217;s great emperor, Hadrian, that&#8217;s not the case at
all.&#160; Rather, Danny Danzinger and Nicholas Purcell have teamed up
to produce a book that provides a broad overview of the Roman Empire in
the second century AD, under the rule of Hadrian.&#160;

	In the year 1999, the movie Gladiator
reminded millions of people just how&#160;spectacular a place Rome&#8217;s
Colosseum is.&#160; It had been decades since the last swords and
sandals flick, but Russell Crowe,&#160;in the role of a fictional
gladiator, Maximus,&#160;dramatically won our hearts.
	Yet, one
wonders.&#160; Did it really happen that way?&#160; Did the movie
provide an accurate portrayal of the gladiatorial games?&#160; [...]]]></description>

	Enjoying HBO&#8217;s new Rome series?&#160; Then you&#8217;ll want to read Steven Saylor&#8217;s books too.
	Many of
us find it easier to get a handle on complex historical eras by
approaching them first through fiction and later tackling the labyrinth
of historical facts.&#160; If that&#8217;s your preferred approach, then
Steven Saylor&#8217;s Rome Sub Rosa series is made to order.&#160;
