The remarkable story of 20 young American football players, convinced to compete internationally in rugby--a game they'd never heard of In 1950s Los Angeles, entrepreneur Mike Dimitro convinced a group of young American athletes to fly around the world playing rugby league, a game that was entirely new to them. Miraculously, the American All Stars competed with the best Australia, New Zealand, and France had to offer, and shocked the locals with some stunning victories. This story tells not only of the media circus and celebrity adventures, but also the All Stars' fights and flings, tragic illnesses, and farcical court cases. Dimitro's mission to establish a rugby league in the United States failed in spectacular fashion--though one All Star went on to win the Super Bowl, one became a Hollywood stuntman, and another an Olympic champion. The emergence of their remarkable story coincides with the United States's first ever qualification for the Rugby League World Cup, in 2013.

The big one MC Romance fans have been craving! In this giant box set, you'll get the complete Great Wolves MC-California series. That's five, full-length novels (over 1300 pages) featuring those smoldering, rugged, muscle-bound, tatted-up and overprotective outlaw bikers who live and die for their club and the women who rev their engines. This set includes: Dex Sly Gunn Angel Switch Dex When they locked me away for another man’s crime they called it justice. When they set me free they called that justice too. But their damned justice cost me my freedom, my family, my club, and the only woman I ever wanted ... Ava. Now I’m back. Only two things have kept me sane all these years. I want to hurt the man responsible for sending me to prison and end his hold over the Great Wolves M.C. forever. And I want the feel of Ava’s body beneath mine again. I need to watch the way she surrenders only to me and makes me whole. It’s selfish of me to think Ava would wait for me. But, I’m a selfish man and it’s time for me to take back what’s mine. Sly Outlaws. That’s all the Great Wolves M.C. were ever supposed to be. But that’s the thinking of a lost generation and I’ve finally brought my club out of the darkness. We’re headed for a brighter future and it only cost me my soul. A small price to pay until I met Scarlett. She came out of nowhere to stir my body and blood. Her dark yearnings equal mine. I can’t get enough. I know she’s hiding something from me and before I’m through, I mean to make her bare everything to me...her body, her heart and her secrets. Because she doesn’t realize she’s met her match. Gunn Like every member of the Great Wolves M.C., I paid for the privilege to wear this patch in blood. My best friend Scotty paid for it with his life. With his dying breath, he made me swear to watch out for his mom and little sister, Brenna. That was seven years ago and I’ve kept my distance but done my best. Until Brenna walked into my clubhouse and turned my world upside down. She’s all grown up with curves that don’t quit. I know I can’t have her. I know I shouldn’t even look, let alone touch. I warned her to stay away from me. But, she’s as stubborn as she is tempting and I want to make her mine no matter how many rules I have to break. Angel My road name has nothing to do with my looks, no matter what women think. I earned it taking a bullet for my Prez and I’d do it again. Soon enough, I may have to. There’s a club war on the horizon and my mission is clear when that day comes. I’ll bleed and die for this brotherhood. It’s too dangerous to let anyone get close to me. Then, Maura walked into my club and spun my heart. Tough. Smart. Classy. But, she needs my protection even if she’s too stubborn to see it. And I need to make her mine, no matter what it costs. Switch When my old man turned rat, the club should have turned their back on me. They didn’t. They took me in and gave me a life. Now, in the middle of a club war, I was willing to give it back to protect my brothers. An easy choice, until I met Kitt. I’ve never wanted anything as much as I want her. Her lips. Those curves. But more than that, she’s got her broken parts and secrets, just like me. She tries to hide them but that only makes me want her more. Only my gut is telling me her secrets could get one of us killed.

This collection is based on the required reading list of Yale Department of Classics. Originally designed for students, this anthology is meant for everyone eager to know more about the history and literature of this period, interested in poetry, philosophy and rhetoric of Ancient Rome. Latin literature is a natural successor of Ancient Greek literature. The beginning of Classic Roman literature dates to 240 BC. From that point on, Latin literature would flourish for the next six centuries. Latin was the language of the ancient Romans, but it was also the lingua franca of Western Europe throughout the Middle Ages. Consequently, Latin Literature outlived the Roman Empire and it included European writers who followed the fall of the Empire, from religious writers like Aquinas, to secular writers like Francis Bacon, Baruch Spinoza, and Isaac Newton. This collection presents all the major Classic Roman authors, including Cicero, Virgil, Ovid and Horace whose work intrigues and fascinates readers until this day. Content: Plautus: Aulularia Amphitryon Terence: Adelphoe Ennius: Annales Catullus: Poems and Fragments Lucretius: On the Nature of Things Julius Caesar: The Civil War Sallust: History of Catiline's Conspiracy Cicero: De Oratore Brutus Horace: The Odes The Epodes The Satires The Epistles The Art of Poetry Virgil: The Aeneid The Georgics Tibullus: Elegies Propertius: Elegies Cornelius Nepos: Lives of Eminent Commanders Ovid: The Metamorphoses Augustus: Res Gestae Divi Augusti Lucius Annaeus Seneca: Moral Letters to Lucilius Lucan: On the Civil War Persius: Satires Petronius: Satyricon Martial: Epigrams Pliny the Younger: Letters Tacitus: The Annals Quintilian: Institutio Oratoria Juvenal: Satires Suetonius: The Twelve Caesars Apuleius: The Metamorphoses Ammianus Marcellinus: The Roman History Saint Augustine of Hippo: The Confessions Claudian: Against Eutropius Boethius: The Consolation of Philosophy Plutarch: The Rise and Fall of Roman Supremacy: Romulus Poplicola Camillus Marcus Cato Lucullus Fabius Crassus Coriolanus Cato the Younger Cicero
