One of America's greatest writers, William Faulkner wrote fiction
that combined spellbinding Southern storytelling with modernist
formal experimentation to shape an enduring body of work. In his
fictional Yoknapatawpha County--based on the region around his
hometown of Oxford, Mississippi--he created an entire world peopled
with unforgettable characters linked into an intricate historical
and social web. An introduction to the Nobel-Prize-winning author's
life and work, this book devotes opening chapters to his biography
and literary heritage and subsequent chapters to each of his major
works. The analytical chapters start with his most accessible book,
The Unvanquished, a Civil-War-era account of a boy's coming of age.
The following chapters orient readers to elements of plot,
character, and theme in Faulkner's masterpieces: The Sound and the
Fury, As I Lay Dying, Light in August, and Absalom, Absalom! Also
analyzed and discussed are some of Faulkner's most often
anthologized short stories, including "A Rose For Emily" and "Barn
Burning," and the longer stories "The Bear," "Spotted Horses," and
"The Old Man" that were incorporated in the novels Go Down, Moses,
The Hamlet, and If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem. Clear, insightful
analyses of the elements of Faulkner's fiction are supplemented
with alternative readings from a variety of critical approaches
including gender, rhetorical, performance, and cultural studies
perspectives.

John R. Commons is one of the few reformers of the past century
whose major works are still actively read, whose ideas are still
debated, and whose principles are still applied to the analysis of
contemporary problems. His life spanned the years of America's
"Great Transformation," from a nation of shopkeepers, farmers, and
small towns to one of giant corporations, landless laborers, and
crowded cities. He became involved in almost every aspect of
America's response to the damaging side effects of that
transformation. A Worker's Economist begins with John Commons'
childhood and education and continues through his life as a
scholar, teacher, administrator, and reformer. Commons' list of
accomplishments are great in number and overall effect. He worked
on the staff of the first government commission to investigate the
economic and social consequences of corporate mergers. He served as
a public representative on the commission that investigated
industrial violence and workplace relations. He was a participant
observer in America's largest and most historic mineworkers'
strike. He wrote and administered the nation's first constitutional
worker compensation law. He developed principles of social reform
and public administration that his students carried into the design
and administration of the Social Security system as well as Lyndon
B. Johnson's War on Poverty. John Dennis Chasse reviews Commons'
major works, describes the people with whom he worked, and follows
the fortunes of the unions that were intrinsic to his vision of
"collective democracy." As a final testament to Commons'
importance, Chasse considers his legacy as it endures in the work
of his students and beyond.

Developed in the 1980s from the E30 saloon, the BMW M3 model drew
on BMW’s involvement in motor sport and, with its widened body
and chassis, upgraded engine delivering 200BHP and other
improvements, it soon dominated touring car races. With the M3 now
in its sixth iteration and more powerful than ever, with a
six-cylinder engine delivering 450BHP, BMW M3 expert John Denny
describes all the developments that have kept this exceptional car
at the head of the pack. The book also charts the growing
popularity of the car worldwide and the right-hand-drive versions
produced for the UK market. This was a car that was just as much at
home on the racetrack as it was on a family trip to the
supermarket. Drawing on his unrivalled experience of owning and
restoring BMW M3 cars, John Denny has written an indispensable book
for both classic and contemporary BMW M3 owners and all those
interested in these superlative cars.
