WINNER OF THE AUREALIS AWARD. "Sean Williams is without doubt the
premier Australian speculative fiction writer of the age." -
Aurealis An award-winning 15-year retrospective collection of
award-winning fiction by the New York Times-best-selling writer.
'...a book which should be read by all students contemplating
enrolment for a university course in modern English or European
literary studies.' - Roy Harris, Times Higher Education Supplement
Eliot to Derrida is a sardonic portrait of the cult of the
specialist interpreter, from I.A. Richards and the Cambridge School
to Jacques Derrida and his disciples. This lucid, iconoclastic
study shows how, and why, so much of the academic response to a
rich variety of literary experiment has been straitjacketed by the
vast industries which have grown up around `modernism' and
`postmodernism'. For anyone disenchanted with the extravagant
claims - and leaden prose - of literary theorists, this will be an
exhilarating book.
The Handbook of Olive Oil presents an up-to-date view of all
aspects of olive oil. It is written from an inter-disciplinary
point of view and will be of use in research and development as
well as in routine laboratory and process operations. This second
edition includes new chapters devoted to genetic studies and
agronomic aspects of new orchards and cultivars, which, in
combination with the most recent biochemical studies and
technological developments, explain the unique chemical composition
of olive oil. The analytical aspects of the first edition are now
described in six new chapters focused on the chemical compounds
responsible for olive oil traceability and sensory perceptions
(odor, color, and taste) utilizing chromatographic, spectroscopic,
and in-tandem techniques. Nutritional and sensory aspects are the
basis for the current success of virgin olive oil among consumers,
and this new edition re-analyzes in two new chapters the role of
lipids, in general, and olive oil, in particular, in nutrition and
health. In addition, the methodologies developed for determining
sensory quality, olive oil oxidation, and deep-frying are
extensively described and discussed. The role of consumers in olive
oil studies of marketing and acceptability is covered in a new
chapter. This second edition has not ignored the fact that the
popularity of olive oil has made it a preferred target for
fraudsters. Deliberate mislabeling or mixtures containing less
expensive edible oils are topics described in depth in two chapters
devoted to traceability and adulteration. There is also a new
chapter focused on the olive refining process, which is a relevant
activity in the olive oil world, and another chapter displaying
tables of chemical and sensory information from olive oils produced
all over the world. The book is written at two levels: the main
level is structured as a tutorial on the practical aspects of olive
oil. A second, more methodological level, is intended for
specialists in the different sciences that contribute to olive oil
studies (biochemistry, chemistry, physics, statistics etc). This
edition also details changes that are needed in different
disciplines in order to overcome current problems and challenges.

Marcel Breuer (1902-1981) is celebrated as a furniture designer,
teacher, and architect who changed the American house after his
emigration from Hungary to the U.S.A. in 1937. More recently
historians, architects, and-with the reopening in New York of the
great megalith of his Whitney Museum as the Met Breuer-a larger
public are gaining new insights into the cities and large-scale
buildings Breuer planned. Often seen as a pioneer of a "Brutalist
modernism" of reinforced concrete, Breuer might best be understood
through the lens of the changing institutional structures in and
for which he worked, a vantage developed in the fresh approaches
gathered here in essays by a group of younger scholars. These
essays draw on an abundance of newly available documents held in
the Breuer Archive at Syracuse University, now accessible online.

"Harwood, master of creeping Victorian horror, does it again . . .
Twisted in every sense of the word and wonderfully
atmospheric."--"Booklist"
Confused and disoriented, Georgina Ferrars awakens in a small room
in Tregannon House, a remote asylum in England. She has no memory
of the past few weeks. The doctor, Maynard Straker, tells her that
she admitted herself under the name Lucy Ashton, then suffered a
seizure. When she insists he has mistaken her for someone else, Dr.
Straker sends a telegram to her uncle, who replies that Georgina
Ferrars is at home with him in London: "Your patient must be an
imposter." Suddenly her voluntary confinement becomes involuntary.
Who is the woman in her uncle's house? Georgina's perilous quest to
free herself takes us from a cliffside cottage on the Isle of Wight
to the secret passages of Tregannon House and into a web of hidden
family ties on which her survival depends.
"Redolent with a sense of foreboding . . . This gothic tale will
sweep you up into the very heart of Victorian England. A splendid
read "--Historical Novel Society, Editors' Choice
"A richly textured . . . and] masterfully constructed narrative . .
. Readers are guaranteed a thoroughly diverting time in Harwood's
not-to-be-trusted hands."--"The Independent" (UK)
"The crisp prose and twisty plot will encourage many to read this
in one sitting."--"Publishers Weekly"
