"The Light Looks Another Way" is a three-part collection of poems
that chronicles the thoughts, emotions, and observations of a
nameless, shape-shifting fictional character. A wandering soul from
a shattered universe, he sets sail through space and time to find
meaning in the outer limits of darkness. His travels have brought
him to Earth where his human form allows for an experience that is
truly alien. Is there light within human existence or does the
light look another way?

Humor, depression, anger, loss, and spiritual transcendence. David
Jonathan Newman's first collection of poems,
This volume features exercises that allow students to use their
knowledge of archaeological method and theory to deal with
fictitious scenarios and data sets. The authors offer all new,
inventive, and often witty problems that pose the same questions
being tackled by archaeologists in the field today.
Although the Crusades are generally thought of in terms of the
European attempt to conquer and colonize the Holy Land, from the
twelfth century onward crusading also involved the "reconquest" of
the Iberian peninsula from the Muslims. This eyewitness account of
the capture of Lisbon in 1147 by the combined forces of King
Alfonso Henriques of Portugal and a fleet of crusaders from the
Anglo-Norman realm, Flanders, and the Rhineland is one of the
richest and most exciting sources to survive from this period. Far
more than just a narrative, De expugnatione Lyxbonensi vividly
conveys the tensions between the secular and spiritual motives of a
crusading army, as well as revealing a wealth of information on
medieval warfare, the development of crusading ideology and holy
war, and Muslim views of the crusaders.
The new foreword by Jonathan Phillips provides insight to the
latest scholarship on the integral place of the Lisbon expedition
in the Second Crusade, the identity of the text's author, and his
message for crusaders.

One of our most important contemporary critics, Marjorie Perloff
has been a widely published and influential reviewer, especially of
poetry and poetics, for over fifty years. Circling the Canon,
Volume I covers roughly the first half of Perloff's career,
beginning with her first ever review, on Anthony Hecht's The Hard
Hours. The reviews in this volume, culled from a wide range of
scholarly journals, literary reviews, and national magazines, trace
the evolution of poetry in the mid- to late twentieth century as
well as the evolution of Perloff as a critic. Many of the authors
whose works are reviewed in this volume are major figures, such as
W. B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, Sylvia Plath, and Frank O'Hara. Others,
including Mona Van Duyn and Richard Hugo, were widely praised in
their day but are now all but forgotten. Still others--David Antin,
Edward Dorn, or the Language poets--exemplify an avant-garde that
was to come into its own.

Volume II focuses on the second half of her prolific career,
showcasing reviews from 1995 through her 2017 reconsiderations of
Jonathan Culler's theory of the lyric and William Empson's classic
Seven Types of Ambiguity. In this volume Perloff provides insight
into the twenty-first-century literary landscape, from revaluations
of its leading poets and translations of European poetry from
Goethe to the Brazilian Noigandres group and interart studies and
performance art. Key issues of the past few decades, such as the
controversy over the role and function of poetry anthologies,
receive extended treatment, and Perloff frequently voices a
minority view, as in the case of the acclaimed British poet Philip
Larkin.
The First Christmas Day Trilogy is a book that can bring the whole
family back together for a traditional evening of enjoyment and
entertainment. The introduction to the book begins with a short
amazing and historical journey of how these wonderful stories were
unearthed, and by whom. Following the intriguing intro are three
freshly new spell binding stories about the birth of Jesus Christ.
Each story wonderfully and carefully brushes up against the other,
inviting you back time and again to relive the birth of the Christ
child in The First Christmas Day Trilogies.
This volume of conversation not only provides a succinct
philosophical biography that highlights the wide range of
Attridge's interests. It likewise foregrounds his energetic
engagements with literary theory, poetics, and stylistics, as well
as his reassessments of contemporary philosophy and literary ideas,
specifically those pertaining to the work Jacques Derrida, James
Joyce, and J. M. Coetzee. Readers will find in this book a
wonderful balancing act as Attridge negotiates the dynamics between
the orthodoxies of critical practice and the strategic
interventions of deconstructive reading. This book, with an
appendix of a chronological listing of Attridge's publications, is
an accessible and provocative introduction to the ideas of one of
the most brilliant critical voices and generous presences in
literary studies in the Anglophone world.
The US Air Force's ability to protect space assets is enhanced by a
proficiency in satellite proximity operations and Space Situational
Awareness (SSA). In pursuit of that proficiency, this research
develops a key capability of interest to mission planners; the
ability of a deputy satellite to "hover" within a defined volume
fixed in the vicinity of a chief satellite for an extended period
of time. Previous research has developed initial methodologies for
maintaining restricted teardrop hover orbits that exist in a plane
fixed within the chief's local reference frame. These methods use
the natural drift of the deputy satellite in the relative frame and
impulsive thrust to keep the deputy in a bounded volume relative to
the chief, but do not address fuel-optimality. This research
extends and enhances that work by finding optimal trajectories,
produced with discrete-thrusts, that minimize fuel spent per unit
time and stay within the user-defined volume, thus providing a
practical hover capability in the vicinity of the chief.

The poems of 60 Signs for Doomsday have a lyrical quality which
should appeal to a general audience: doers of good, doers of evil,
the righteous, Biblical scholars, the felonious, worshippers of
satanic craft, boring housewives, high-and-mighty executives, fans
of heavy metal music, and rage-filled healthcare professionals
(just to name a few). David Jonathan Newman's unique vision and
mastery of language has afforded the literary world a rare treat
indeed Although 60 Signs for Doomsday is the third installment of
poems from an irrepressible voice of apocalyptic thought and
end-time ideology, it concurrently weaves a subtle message of hope
and union. The musicality of 60 Signs for Doomsday is undeniable.
Word art is the best way to describe Newman's works--with the best
poems being imminently hummable as well as memorable. 60 Signs for
Doomsday is a collection of poems that comes precariously close to
insanity--is the evil inherent in our world enough to push good
people over the edge? What defines evil? Who embodies evil? Are you
evil? Am I evil?
