Romantic Influences
'... a significant, wide-ranging study ... Above all, the book restores a salutary sense of the value of, and the difficult poise involved in, creative acts.' - Michael O'Neill, Durham University Taken together, these interlinked studies on topics such as the literary influences at work in the 1790s, Newman's resistance to Romantic ideas, the exact nature of Virginia Woolf's debt to Walter Pater and the counter-Romanticism of Lawrence and Eliot constitute a large reading of Romanticism from 1789 to our own day. They also throw light on the complex workings of influence itself, not least by showing how writers used images of fluency to describe their own creative processes.
Executed Women of 20th and 21st Centuries
Executed Women of the 20th and 21st Centuries provides a look into the lives, crimes, and executions of women during the 20th and 21st centuries. Rather than dealing with these women as numbers and statistics, this book presents them as human beings. Each of these women had lives, histories, and families. The purpose is not to condone their actions, but to suggest that those we executed are, in fact, humans—rather than monsters, as they are often portrayed.

The Pillar of the Mountain
Between 1937-41, the tragic past of the fullback for the University of Kentucky football team was a guarded secret. No one was sure where he had come from. And no one knew why he never spoke about his family. All they knew was that Claude Hammond was extremely tough. Claude was an orphan from a mean Appalachian coal town. He witnessed his own mother's murder and lived on the streets before being taken in by distant family members. He knew, somehow, that he was his family's only hope for a future. Through courage and sheer determination, Claude transformed his own life and the lives of his family members, putting his own children as well as nieces and nephews through college. He was a catalyst, transforming a family from tragedy and poverty to education and prosperity. Claude kept his past a secret, even from his own children. As a college student in the 1970s, the author discovered the shocking facts about his father's childhood. How Claude overcame tragedy is an inspiring story.
Life Sucks
A veces se siente como si la vida sólo estuviera ahí para patearnos al suelo, y luego patearnos más para mantenernos en el suelo, ¿no? John se pregunta por qué no puede simplemente hacer todo lo que quiera, como su mejor amigo Henry lo hace. ¿Es acaso solamente el hecho de que Henry es asquerosamente rico? ¿O hay algo más en ello? Cansado de lo que él percibe como un sin fin de pérdida de tiempo, John decide salirse de la escuela, y perseguir sus sueños. Cómo muchos antes que él, John quizás se hubiera rendido después de no ver resultados. ¿Honestamente? Lo más seguro es que se hubiera rendido. No obstante, un búho curioso, notable, y raro lo encuentra. Y es este encuentro el que lanza a John a una aventura increíble para averiguar por qué la vida apesta tanto.
