The 20th Century Asian pear, also known as Nijisseiki, is celebrated for its crisp, juicy texture and delicate, mild sweetness. This golden-yellow fruit has a smooth, thin skin and a rounded shape, resembling an apple. Ideal for fresh eating, its refreshing crunch and light flavor make it a favorite for snacks or adding a sweet touch to salads and desserts.

Requiring moderate chill hours, 20th Century Asian pears thrive in full sun and well-draining soil, adapting well to a variety of climates.

A must read for Greek history!
Format: Hardcover
A lot details about Thucydides himself and the history around himself with great insight into all the wars including the long Pelopnnesian war. A must read for history lovers. R.W. writes so that a "lay person" can understand all the intricate details of the greater Greek conflicts, and politics during this time in history.

It is easy to read and understand the English prose. Highly recommended.
Format: Hardcover
I am not conversant with Ancient Greek, but I decided to read this book. The prose is easy to read and understand. It uses the type of English phrasing that we would use in ordinary conversation. I found this difficult book easy to read and I value that. I don't know whether it is better or worse than any other translation of Thucydides, but I enjoyed it. Thucydides emerges as an analytical historian with a strong moral point of view and trenchant criticisms of the Athenians and their leadership. This book continues the modern trend of making classical texts easier to read by using plain English. It is much appreciated.
