'Pere, fichi, olio, vino, grano e fine sale bianco erano tra i principali prodotti; la razza dei cavalli era famosa e riforniva la cavalleria leggera tarantina così rinomata negli eserciti di Alessandro il Grande e dei suoi successori. La lana tarantina è stata elogiata da molti scrittori classici. Varrone parla della sua morbidezza, mentre Strabone loda la sua lucentezza; Plinio, Orazio e Marziale tutti la esaltano.'

An adorable exploration of friendship and childhood activities

There are many things that I like about being me.

I can sit quite still . . . or hop, skip and jump.

I can stand on my hands . . . or turn somersaults.

I can float on my back . . . or swim like a fish . . .

This delightful picture book is a series of reflections that the narrator, an endearing cloth rabbit, makes about himself and the things he can do. The brief text culminates with the ultimate reflection that the thing he likes best about being himself is that he can share his favorite activities with his friend, an equally endearing white mouse. The expressive illustrations complement the pared-back text with a subtle visual narrative.

Watching his friend, cloth rabbit, proudly demonstrate the many special things he can do, such as dig deep holes and swim like a fish, white mouse is happy when he is invited to join in the fun in this charming tale about friendship and sharing for preschoolers and beginning readers.

"Tool marks" and "joins", "Cycladic" and "Daedalic styles", and "kouroi" and "kanephoroi" are among the many terms pertaining to the study of classical stone sculpture that are succinctly described in this latest addition to the popular Looking At series.

Ramage's case study on the relationship between a restorer, Vincenzo Pacetti, and his patron, Luciano Bonaparte; Mette Moltesen on de-restoring and re-restoring in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek; Miranda Marvin on the Ludovisi collection; and Andreas Scholl on the history of restoration of ancient sculptures in the Altes Museum in Berlin.
The book also features contributions by Elizabeth Bartman, Brigitte Bourgeois, Jane Fejfer, Angela Gallottini, Sascha Kansteiner, Giovanna Martellotti, Orietta Rossi Pinelli, Peter Rockwell, Edmund Southworth, Samantha Sportun, and Markus Trunk.
