Climbing Parnassus named Outstanding Academic Title for 2002 by Choice.
ISI Books is pleased to announce that Climbing Parnassus: A New Apologia for Greek and Latin, by Tracy Lee Simmons, has received recognition by Choice as an Outstanding Academic Title
for 2002. This prestigious award is given only to a handful of academic titles each year. In his concise and elegantly wrought brief, Simmons argues that an education in the classical languages
is of inestimable personal and cultural value. He demonstrates this by relating the intellectually liberating qualities that the study of the Greek and Latin authors in their own languages has
historically provided, and how the classical languages have played a crucial role in the development of authentic Humanism, the foundation of the West's cultural order, and America's understanding
of itself as a union of citizens. According to Choice, Simmons "elucidates the values inherent in a classical education, i.e., the Greek and Latin languages and literatures, and these ideals
shape this intelligent, passionate, and articulate book." Order this title now.
