Underwater Pompeii Found

Underwater Roman city recently discovered on the island of Greek island of Delos. Actually, I found the facts about the island's customs before and after the Romans more interesting than the Roman city itself.

Delos, located in the center of the Cyclades archipelago near the island of Mykonos, is where the sun god Apollo was born, according to Greek myth.

David and Goliath Review

The premise of David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell is how sometimes a perceived disadvantage can be an advantage and how what may seem to be the best, is not necessarily the best for everyone.

Some of the anecdotal stories were very interesting, especially the ones about David and Goliath, the impressionist painters in France, and picking colleges.

Some stories did a wonderful job strengthening his premise, others a bit more weakly.

David and Goliath left me thinking about my own children, their classroom settings, and which college they should attend in a different light.

David and Goliath is a worthy read.
