Madigan Paperback, 144 Pages, Published 2011 by Rit Press ISBN-13: 978-1-933360-49-2, ISBN: 1-933360-49-6 "Lucretius (c. 99 BCE-c. 55 BCE) is the author of De Rerum Natura, a work which tries to explain and expound the doctrines of the earlier Greek philosopher Epicurus.

Suits Paperback, 236 Pages, Published 2003 by Rit Cary Graphic Arts Press ISBN-13: 978-0-9713459-6-6, ISBN: 0-9713459-6-1 "The philosophy of Epicurus (c. 341-271 B. C.
