The Waves is one of the greatest achievements in modern literature. Commonly considered the most important, challenging and ravishingly poetic of Virginia Woolf's novels, it was in her own estimation 'the most complex and difficult of all my books'. This edition will be the most authoritative, most fully collated and annotated text available to scholars to date, and for considerable time to come. It maps the text of The Waves from the first British edition to all other editions published in Woolf's lifetime, as well as to all extant proofs. The text is presented in clearly readable form, with page-by-page direction to emendation, variants, and notes. The substantial introduction includes a detailed account of the novel's composition, publication and early critical reception. There are extensive explanatory notes on the text, a full chronology of composition and publication and a more general chronology covering Woolf's life and works.

D. H. Lawrence's best-known late fictions are presented in this volume, which is dominated by two powerful novellas, The Virgin and the Gipsy and The Escaped Cock (also known as The Man Who Died). In the first, a young woman from a restrictive English rectory discovers further dimensions to life through her contact with a gipsy; in the second, an unnamed man - in fact Lawrence's vision of Christ - is resurrected and escapes from his tomb. Both novellas deal with the themes of escape and sexual awakening, which are echoed in the four short stories and three fragments also collected here. This edition restores Lawrence's final texts, before the changes introduced by censorship, mistakes in transmission and various other forms of interference, with variants recorded. The introduction traces the history of the stories, while the notes offer help with allusions, contexts and other points of potential difficulty or interest.

This volume contains what Lawrence himself called "philosophicalish" essays written in the decade 1915-25. The topics range from politics to nature, from religion to education; the tone from lighthearted humor to mordant wit, to spiritual meditation. For all these contrasts, however, the essays share many of the underlying themes of the mature Lawrence: "Be thyself" could be the volume's motto. As far as possible, this edition restores what Lawrence wrote before typists, editors, and compositors made the extensive alterations that have been followed in all previous editions of the texts--on occasion entire passages removed by mistake or for reasons of censorship have been recovered. The introduction describes the genesis, textual history, and reception of the essays; notes offer help with allusions and other difficult points. Several incomplete and unpublished essays are reproduced in an appendix.

ANATOMY OF A CRIMINAL INDICTMENT by Michael Keehn is both a true story and a guide for the individual under an indictment, what to expect, and what those under indictment can do to help themselves survive the indictment. The author was under indictment for three years and very proactive in his own defense. The author shares his experience with the reader who is seeking guidance in becoming proactive in his (or her) own defense. The book gives sufficient background information for the reader to follow and visualize the path the author traveled to indictment. In short, the author spent eight years of his life designing a never before existing control system for a public utility that resulted in an indictment. It is likely that your attorney will seldom communicate with you in the early stages, this is normal and will be explained. But it does not mean that you cannot communicate to him, and do so in a way that will have lasting impact. Being under an indictment and charged criminally is a very lonely world. You may well feel like a leper, alone and isolated from everyone. You may find yourself avoiding friends because you don't want to tarnish their character with your own foul coating. In the author's case, he was surprised to find so many in his community to be very supportive, many of them people he did not know, but who recognized him from his picture from the newspaper and stopped to speak with him and offer moral support. In the beginning there was an initial distrust between defendant and attorney that slowly builds into trust. And this process can be seen as the story unfolds. Therefore, expect to be distrusted unless you are paying the attorney. Even then you may be distrusted, however, it probably won't be as easily detected. It was the author's experience that there is tremendous stress the individual under indictment must endure, not allowing emotions to render him (or her) immobilized, and although your defense attorney will probably not help with this issue, this book can help with that. The author also gives the reader solid examples how to analyze the various documents filed by government investigators. Putting the investigative reports and affidavits under a microscope, and then constructing a report is very beneficial, and an example of this process is provided. Following the suggestions for analysis and report construction can be therapeutic. It helps to relieve tension when, with a critical eye, you begin to see the errors and oversight the investigators are making. The book may also be used by a family member or loved one who wishes to help someone under indictment. Included are elusive and hard to find legal documents as examples to provide self help guidance for the pro se / pro per litigant.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practice of book-keeping and accounting. Throughout the text, real-life case studies are used to illustrate principles.

The new edition helps you analyze the factors that determine whether to choose a real estate workout over bankruptcy or foreclosure and the leverage lenders have under each possible scenario. The Second Edition features extensive coverage of environmental liabilities that may arise under federal statutes and regulations such as RCRA and CERCLA and how lenders can avoid or minimize these liabilities. A new chapter has been added on the state mini-RCRAs and CERCLAs, necessitated by the growing importance of state environmental laws to real estate financing. A detailed discussion is presented on the laws and programs that have been developed to minimize lender liability at brownfields sites in urban areas. Excellent coverage is provided for such key areas as prepackaged plans, single asset real estate cases, cash collateral and adequate protection, deeds in lieu of foreclosure and dealing with guarantors and other sureties.
