Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D.,
Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. The Wordsworth
Classics' Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of
William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of
recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.
Romeo and Juliet is the world's most famous drama of tragic young
love. Defying the feud which divides their families, Romeo and
Juliet enjoy the fleeting rapture of courtship, marriage and sexual
fulfilment; but a combination of old animosities and new
coincidences brings them to suicidal deaths. This play offers a
rich mixture of romantic lyricism, bawdy comedy, intimate harmony
and sudden violence. Long successful in the theatre, it has also
generated numerous operas, ballets and films; and these have helped
to make Romeo and Juliet perennially topical.
Advances in Geophysics, Volume 64 in this ongoing serial,
highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume
presenting interesting chapters written by an international board

Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D.,
Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. Shakespeare's
Macbeth is one of the greatest tragic dramas the world has known.
Macbeth himself, a brave warrior, is fatally impelled by
supernatural forces, by his proud wife, and by his own burgeoning
ambition. As he embarks on his murderous course to gain and retain
the crown of Scotland, we see the appalling emotional and
psychological effects on both Lady Macbeth and himself. The cruel
ironies of their destiny are conveyed in poetry of unsurpassed
power. In the theatre, this tragedy remains perennially engrossing.

Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. The Wordsworth
Classics' Shakespeare's Series presents a newly-edited sequence of
William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of
recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.
The Tempest is the most lyrical, profound and fascinating of
Shakespeare's late comedies. Prospero, long exiled from Italy with
his daughter Miranda, seeks to use his magical powers to defeat his
former enemies. Eventually, having proved merciful, he divests
himself of that magic, his 'art', and prepares to return to the
mainland. The Tempest has often been regarded as Shakespeare's
'farewell to the stage' before his retirement. In the past, critics
emphasised the romantically beautiful features of The Tempest,
seeing it as an imaginative fantasia. In recent decades, however,
The Tempest has also been treated as a potently political drama
which offers controversial insights into colonialism and racism.
Frequently staged and diversely filmed, the play has influenced
numerous poets and novelists.

With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of
English, University of Sussex. James Joyce's astonishing
masterpiece, Ulysses, tells of the diverse events which befall
Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus in Dublin on 16 June 1904, during
which Bloom's voluptuous wife, Molly, commits adultery. Initially
deemed obscene in England and the USA, this richly-allusive novel,
revolutionary in its Modernistic experimentalism, was hailed as a
work of genius by W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway.
Scandalously frank, wittily erudite, mercurially eloquent,
resourcefully comic and generously humane, Ulysses offers the
reader a life-changing experience.

Integrated Lasers on Silicon provides a comprehensive overview of
the state-of-the-art use of lasers on silicon for photonic
integration. The authors demonstrate the need for efficient laser
sources on silicon, motivated by the development of
on-board/on-chip optical interconnects and the different
integration schemes available. The authors include detailed
descriptions of Group IV-based lasers, followed by a presentation
of the results obtained through the bonding approach (hybrid III-V
lasers). The monolithic integration of III-V semiconductor lasers
are explored, concluding with a discussion of the different kinds
of cavity geometries benchmarked with respect to their potential
integration on silicon in an industrial environment.

Why do Latinos with light skin complexions earn more than those
with darker complexions? Why do African American women with darker
complexions take longer to get married than their lighter
counterparts? Why did Michael Jackson become lighter as he became
wealthier and O.J. Simpson became darker when he was accused of
murder? Why is Halle Berry considered a beautiful sex symbol, while
Whoopi Goldberg is not? Skin Deep provides answers to these
intriguing questions. It shows that although most white Americans
maintain that they do not judge others on the basis of skin color,
skin tone remains a determining factor in educational attainment,
occupational status, income, and other quality of life indicators.
Shattering the myth of the color-blind society, Skin Deep is a
revealing examination of the ways skin tone inequality operates in
America. The essays in this collection-by some of the nation's
leading thinkers on race and colorism-examine these phenomena,
asking whether skin tone differentiation is imposed upon
communities of color from the outside or is an internally-driven
process aided and abetted by community members themselves. The
essays also question whether the stratification process is the same
for African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans. Skin Deep
addresses such issues as the relationship between skin tone and
self esteem, marital patterns, interracial relationships,
socioeconomic attainment, and family racial identity and
composition. The essays in this accessible book also grapple with
emerging issues such as biracialism, color-blind racism, and 21st
century notions of race in the U.S. and in other countries.
