This essential account of Lacan's influence on narrative studies is not to be missed. High points include Jeffrey Mehlman's essay, and Jerry Aline Flieger's treatment of joke theory as narrative paradigm. All the essays are remarkably readable, which is refreshing for a book on Lacan.

Great resource for the new lactation consultant! Contains loads of up to date and relevant clinical and legal advice in the lactation consulting field. This book is mainly for the private practice and clinical lactation consultant, hospital based. Very helpful. Also provides sample forms for charting, billing, etc.

This book was excellent. I was interested in finding more out about England during the 15th century, and this was the prefect book to come to. It is a nice, thorough overview of the time period, in a language that's both entertaining and understandable.

Zane Grey's first novels concerned his ancestors, the Zane family, and the Ohio frontier of the late 18th century. They are fairly authentic, historically, and heroic and romantic as well.

Dick Davis provides a full verse translation of one of the principle stories of the Shahnameh. This translation of the Legend of Seyavash is an excellent place to start into the Shahnameh.

Joe Tom Davis is probably the most respected Texas Historian alive today. The stories he tells are bigger than life characters who in one way or another have affected Texas. His writing style is clear and consice without errors. His books are a joy to read over and over.

This collection of essays links futurist Stan Davis' previous works with some of his newer ideas about change and commerce. Believing that his ideas (Future Wealth, Blur, Future Perfect, 2020 Vision) have held up, he expands upon them to explain the philosophy he thinks underlies the next 20 years (or "the second half") of the information revolution. He delves into the next era he anticipates, one of even greater consequence - the Bio Economy. He explains not only the rise of biotech, but also the biological or networked economy, where everything is connected to everyone all the time.

Then, Davis speculates about the more distant future, post 2050, when cloning, stem-cell research and such transcend theory and join the chaos of our everyday lives. If the future makes you gasp, we [...] say read on.
