This collection of essays on Jacques Derrida spans nearly thirty
years of critical thinking about Derrida's work. The articles
selected here have never previously been collected, yet they are
significant contributions that illuminate difficult and important
aspects of Derrida's writings. While not seeking to be
comprehensive, the volume ranges over the entirety of Derrida's
published output and addresses a number of crucial topics,
including literature, iterability, the signature, time, alterity,
Judaism, metaphor and death. Reprinted here in chronological order
of first publication, the essays are complemented by an
introduction by Ian Maclachlan which discusses the significance of
Derrida's work for our critical thinking.

Ian McLachlan has spent many years researching a brand new
collection of exciting United States Army Air Force fighter stories
of the Second World War. He has trawled official archives,
interviewed survivors and gained privileged access to personal
letters, diaries and photo albums to relate a series of compelling
stories of the USAAF's fighter squadrons at war. Each story is
self-contained and looks at a particular incident or theme. Among
the selection of diverse stories are the following examples: In
broad daylight - Dutch resistance operatives spirit a young 4th
Fighter Group P-51 pilot away from his captors. Osce Jones -
crash-landing just after D-Day, Osce journeys on foot through enemy
territory, but will he escape? Frank Klibbe - an eventual 56th
Fighter Group ace is fined USD50 for damage to Government property
- one P-47 Thunderbolt. Back from the dead - Harry Howard, a 339FG
pilot turns up to tell the tale after his memorial service.
This title explores Derrida's major work through readings of key
passages by such leading scholars as Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, J.
Hillis Miller and Avital Ronnell. With new readings from twenty-one
internationally renowned scholars, "Reading Derrida's 'Of
Grammatology'" is a comprehensive introduction to and exploration
of Jacques Derrida's landmark 1967 text. Since its original
publication, Of Grammatology has had a profound impact on
philosophy, literary theory and the Humanities in general. Through
a series of close readings of selected passages by writers from a
wide range of disciplines, this collection aims to discover anew
this important work and its continuing influence. This book
includes new readings by such commentators as: Gayatri Chakravorty
Spivak; J. Hillis Miller; Jean-Luc Nancy; Derek Attridge; and,
Avital Ronnell. "Reading Derrida's 'Of Grammatology'" is an
essential book for anyone interested in Derrida's work, from
readers new to this book to experienced researchers in philosophy,
literature and the many other disciplines that Of Grammatology has
transformed over the last forty years.
This is the first full-length study devoted to Roger Laporte, whose
lifelong exploration of the stakes of writing has produced a body
of work on the borderline of literature and philosophy. Charting
the development of Laporte's writing in relation to the work of
Heidegger, Levinas, Blanchot and Derrida, this study offers both a
comprehensive reading of Laporte's oeuvre and a new perspective on
an important strand of recent thinking about literature. In
particular, it is claimed here that the imperfect reflexivity of
Laporte's 'Ophic' texts effects a singular opening to reading, and
that in doing so it illuminates the ethical dimension of literature
which has been the subject of much recent discussion.
During the Second World War, men of many nations - Britons,
Americans, air men from the Commonwealth and Occupied Europe - and
their equally determined, courageous German foes - fought and died
in the skies over Europe. Reconstructing events, often from
wreckage recovered, new lines of research and eyewitness accounts,
Ian McLachlan presents a new selection of stories vividly
describing how air men of these nations flew into history.
Sometimes, when aircraft crashed, or were shot down, the remains
would be quickly buried and forgotten in the turmoil of war.
Decades later, these wrecks and relics can reveal their secrets to
the expert investigator. Their excavation and preservation can
serve as a tribute to the bravery and airman ship of their crews.
By reconstructing wartime events from evidence in the wreckage,
eyewitness accounts and contemporary documentation, aviation
archaeologists can identify the flyers involved and shed new light
on the air war over Europe during the Second World War. Aviation
archaeology expert Ian McLachlan has assembled a new selection of
dramatic stories, written in his highly successful style, full of
human interest, recounting the last flights of aviators of many
nations.
