Description
Her central themes are the classics, universities and teaching - and much else besides. In this second collection following on from the success of It's a Don's Life, Beard ponders whether Gaddafi's home is Roman or not.
We share her 'terror of humiliation' as she enters 'hairdresser country' and follow her dilemma as she wanders through the quandary of illegible handwriting on examination papers and 'longing for the next dyslexic' - on whose paper the answers are typed, not handwritten.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
All in a Don's Day by Professor Mary Beard is praised for its engaging brevity and eclectic approach. The work is noted for showcasing Beard's deep learning presented in an accessible manner, with a reviewer humorously suggesting that her insights could have helped the Romans maintain their empire.
