In ancient Rome, all the best stories have one thing in common—murder. In one 50-year period, 26 emperors were murdered.

Inside ancient Rome’s darkly fascinating history, we see how the Romans viewed life and death and what it means to be human.

On the Water is a gorgeously written collection of essays that all take place on or near the water and pay tribute to the flora and fauna associated with those ecosystems. There are essays about the finer points of tickling rainbow trout in the streams of Normandy, and of eagles and ospreys fishing for bass while barely breaking the surface of the water. There are stories of droughts and floods, of dogs and boats, of worms and rattlesnakes, and even of catching and cooking soft-shell turtles that taste like osso-bucco.
