In this slim collection of poetry, Nichole Morgan invites us into her strange world of fairy tale hopes broken. She takes the most modern images and twists them into frosty edibles you would expect to find in only the darkest forests of time. Phrases like, "Nothing more than a bed/time,story/of sniffing/ flakes through candy/cane straws./I seek shelter/under an umbrella of bone."
I love her, and can't wait for the next book to come out!

This is a great book for young Hockey fans. It doesn't just focus on winning but on everything, the Ups and downs of playing the position of goalie. The book is filled with great pictures of Patrick in action. It is also easy enough to read for the younger fans.

Dr. Llewelyn Morgan has really done a splendid job. I cannot think of a more illuminating or learned text on the Georgics. Morgan's style, wit, and command of detail never fail to impress. A first class effort!

This book really is touching and it was something our whole family was able to enjoy reading it together and to the kids. The story was very interesting and it seemed to be historically correct with regards to the western area it covered in the story. I would highly recommend it to parents for their children and those interested in the geneology theme.

This work by two investigative reporters is extremely interesting and well-written. How accurate it is I do not know, but I know thatI found it to be extremely absorbing reading. E.g.: The authors say that Cardinal Benelli had 70 votes and if he had gotten 75 he would have elected Pope. Since Benelli died Oct. 25, 1982, if he had been elected the whole history of this latter part of the 20th century would have been different!

As a hard-core modernist, I've been puzzled by this whole postmodern phenomena, which, to me, seemed impenetrable, so the title of this book caught my eye. Further, Lyotard has been called the theoretician of the postmodern, hence this book seemed like a good place to start trying to understand the postmodern. The book contains an afterward by Wlad Godzich that I found to be extremely helpful (read it first). I cannot claim to understand the postmodern, even after reading this book, but I have some insight into how it can make us more aware of the modern, which is characterized by a belief in universals and the project of improvement and emancipation of all humanity from bondage. Legitimacy for the actions toward that end was believed to stem from the Idea of this ultimate condition. However, 20th Century history has cast doubt on both the theoretical underpinnings (legitimacy) and practice of progress (how could the modern project have led to Auschwitz?). It is this doubt that created a postmodern awareness. 'Post' not in the sense of following, but in the sense of complexity subsuming and overwhelming the naive (unexamined) nature of this long standing project of progress.

Few people are aware of the earthmound remains of Precolumbian peoples in the US. William Morgan's little book does much to change that, and in a highly readable manner. Organized by epochs, this comprehensive illustrated catalogue of over 100 important sites is a must for early-history buffs. Most important, each site is "reconstructed" and illustrated with a clear to-scale map which is at the same scale as all the other mapped reconstructions. The book is a model for such studies, as sites of interest can be quickly compared in scale with the Acropolis, the Giza pyramid complex, and other more famous sites. Highly recommended.

If you enjoyed Two Cheers for Democracy and Abinger Harvest, this is the book for you. This book contains more articles by E.M. Forster, varying from literary criticism and biographies to a description of looking to the house of Voltaire through a fence while on holiday. (And yes, the latter is a beautiful read too.) Interesting from a scholarly point of view, but certainly also for anyone with a wide range of interest: an entertaining, sometimes even moving book.

let's be honest, as a first year book, kaldeweij is better, but oxford undergrads, suffering morgan's lectures, have to suffer the novel too.

I love the book! It's very useful and perfect for my situation as a non-experienced PR student. It would be better though if the author published another edition ready because I'd buy it for sure!
