A wide range of new scholarship on Chaucer's poetry. This collection of essays makes available a wide range of new scholarship on Chaucer's poetry. Opening essays address the issues of "Chaucerian representation" and "Chaucerian poetics", arguing for the multiplicity and complexityof what Chaucer "represents" and for the importance of his dual Anglo-French background in enabling him to articulate that complexity. Chaucer's use of Ovidian and Ciceronian sources and ideas is examined, and his pursuit of simplicity and suspicion of "delicacy"; the potent issues of sexuality and spirituality, and money and death (with Chaucer's own ending and his thoughts on last things) complete the collection.

Tiger Price, a.k.a TP, takes on his first investigative case after retiring from the prison system. The doors of his new business have been open less than an hour when he receives a package from lifelong friend Paul Peck, with photographs depicting a gruesome murder scene. Paul's son is on trial for murder, and he hopes his old friend can help prove his son's innocence. Tiger is wedged within the confines of a courtroom as he desperately tries to present the court with proof that his best friend's son is innocent of murder. Tiger tangles with judges, district attorneys, court clerks, and a shrewd DA investigator before reaching the core of his case. As he takes his investigation to the streets of Los Angeles, he encounters bums, hookers, drug dealers, and street gangsters. This dark counter-culture is filled with danger and deceit. In the midst of his investigation, Tiger Price joins forces with an unlikely partner who is properly equipped to infiltrate the venomous streets of Los Angeles. Tiger Price is relentless in his investigation, hoping that an innocent verdict can be reached.

In the second half of the 19th century, America transformed itself into an industrial power, ready to assume a dominant position on the world scene in the 20th century. The development of industrialization and the consumer society brought about opportunities for many Americans as part of an ever-growing middle class, but also resulted in environmental and social degradation that we continue to deal with at the present time.
