Micah Hartman and Damon Hall first meet in the frontier river town
of Reed's Landing, Wisconsin in the 1850's. Micah, the son of one
of the town's leading lumbermen, embodies the West but seeks more
from his life than the perpetual cycle of lumbering. Damon,
educated at Harvard's Divinity School, comes to "the Landing" an
idealistic young cleric seeking to do God's will. Despite what they
may have planned for their lives, the Civil War gives them
different paths to tread. The old friends are united as members of
the Seventh Wisconsin--soon to become part of the famous "Iron
Brigade." Micah, an infantryman, and Damon, the Seventh's chaplain,
are forever changed inside the crucible of combat where they are
forced to face war's death, pain, and suffering. After the war,
life continues. The men find wives and dream of children. Young men
become older men; older men discover regret. It is only after forty
years at each other's side that the truth comes out. An aged ledger
appears that casts a shadow of doubt on the integrity of one of
these men, and that shadow could forever darken a lifelong
friendship.

Some folks said; 'who do you think you are to write your
Autobiography? Nobody will want to read it.' These folks thought
just because I am an unknown person nobody will be interested in
reading about my adventures. Well, I'm of a different mind. For a
lot of people it will be very interesting to read about what they
could only dream about having done or doing themselves. I have
cheated death on a number of occasions at sea and on land. I have
put down a mutiny. The sailing ship I was Master of, was declared
missing in the North Atlantic for days in a snowstorm, but I always
brought my passengers and crew and ship back to a safe port. I have
tried and failed and succeeded in a lot of endeavors in my life,
but never alone, always with a good woman beside me, encouraging
and praising me. Eventually I found not only what I loved to do,
but what I became very good at and was very proud to do. To the
reader I want the book to convey this one message, follow your
dream and make it a reality. No matter how difficult the road ahead
may seem, you will reach your goal and enjoy the rewards at the
end.
This is no ordinary biography. Using unpublished sources, Peter
Winnington reveals the life of Walter Fuller, whom the BBC chose to
edit its Radio Times. Covering the first quarter of the 20th
century, the unfolding story takes us from the birth of student
representation and the revival of folksong (first as entertainment,
then as social protest) to the anti-war movement in America, for
which Fuller produced innovative propaganda. The US harshly
repressed its pacifists and conscientious objectors. To defend
them, Fuller imported from Britain the concept of civil liberties,
and his wife Crystal Eastman co-founded the American Civil
Liberties Union. Back in England after WWI, Fuller was headhunted
for his ideas by the BBC, where he helped shape its public image
and gave Radio Times a format which lasted for fifty years. This
account throws new light on the development of social and political
ideas which still affect our lives today. Counterpointing this
story is the life of Fuller's sister Rosalind, whose philosophy of
free love had the seal of approval of Lord Bertrand Russell. She
inspired in Scott Fitzgerald the story that paid for his wedding,
entranced John Barrymore when she played Ophelia to his Hamlet on
Broadway, and caused Nobel Prize winner Sir Norman Angell to tell a
whopper in his autobiography. "Highly readable and carefully
researched" Martin Ceadel, Professor of Politics, University of
Oxford. G. Peter Winnington's previous books have included
biography and literary criticism. Of his life of Mervyn Peake, the
TLS declared: "Winnington is good not only as a biographer but as a
critic" too."
Concepts of Meaning includes contributions from well-known
philosophers of language and semanticists. It is a useful
collection for students in philosophy of language, semantics and
epistemology. This work discusses new research in semantics, theory
of truth, philosophy of language and theory of communication from a
trans-disciplinary perspective.
An integrated theory of linguistic behavior should provide a
framework to make behavior intelligible. This work addresses issues
such as sentence meaning, utterance meaning, speaker's intention
and reference, linguistic context, circumstances and background
theories. Readers will learn that interpretation is a result of a
complex pattern.

This is the first biography of an intrepid young French woman, Lily
Sergueiew, who led an adventurous life and became famous as one of
the five D-Day spies. In 1939, her bicycle ride from Paris to
Saigon was interrupted by the outbreak of war. Disgusted by the
Fall of France in 1940, she took the courageous decision to
personally help the Allies drive the Nazis out of France: she would
get the Abwehr to train her as a spy and have herself sent to
England. Once there, she would betray the Nazis and place herself
at the disposal of the Allies. It took three emotionally exhausting
years to achieve this. She arrived in England just in time to
become TREASURE, one of the five spies who misled the Nazis into
believing that the Allies would land in the Pas de Calais. This
disinformation operation saved countless lives. But Lily found the
English cold and ungenerous towards her. They knew that she had a
fatal medical condition. She had also risked her life - and her
parents' lives - every day she worked for the Nazis, yet the
English would not let her bring the dog who was such a comfort to
her. They told her that her work was vital to their cause, but for
Lily their behaviour meant that it was not worth a dog. So she hid
from them that the Nazis had given her a control code to prove that
her radio messages were genuine: it gave her a sense of power to
know that she could destroy her work - and the whole D-Day
deception - with a single keystroke. She did not intend to use it,
but once she had revealed it, she was dismissed straight after
D-Day. This meant that she could join the Free French Forces and be
sent to France to care for Displaced Persons left in the wake of
the retreating Nazis. Working with liberated prisoners from
Buchenwald, she married the American Major in charge of the region
who had fallen in love with her. He took her to America where he
hoped that her condition could be cured. It could not, and she died
(largely forgotten) with her husband at her side in 1950.

Joseph Conrad: Contemporary Reviews (five volumes) is an
indispensable resource for Conrad specialists and students of
literary Modernism generally, aiming to provide as complete a view
as possible of the contemporary reception of Joseph Conrad's works
in the English-speaking world. These volumes offer insights into
early twentieth-century reviewing practices, the marketing of
literary fiction and the wide interest in such writing, as reviews
of Conrad's work regularly appeared in provincial and colonial
newspapers. Contemporary Reviews Volume 5 offers previously
unavailable reviews spanning Conrad's career, from Almayer's Folly
(1895) to Last Essays (1926). The nearly one thousand reviews
collected here chart the consolidation of Conrad's reputation as a
major English author, recording his impact upon late-Victorian
literature and demonstrating how he helped shape literary
Modernism. Articulating areas of critical interest that continue to
attract readers and commentators today, the Contemporary Reviews
confirm Conrad's growing stature in the colonial literary
marketplace.
Conrad and Nature is the first collection of critical essays
examining nature and the environment in Joseph Conrad's writings.
Together, these essays by established and emerging scholars reveal
both the crucial importance of nature in Conrad's work, and the
vital, ongoing relevance of Conrad's treatment of the environment
in our era of globalization and climate change. No richer subject
matter for an environmentally-engaged criticism can be found than
the Conradian contexts and themes under investigation in this
volume: island cultures, colonial occupations, storms at sea,
mining and extraction, inconstant weather, ecological collapse, and
human communities competing for resources. The 17 essays collected
here -13 new essays, and 4 excerpts from classic works of Conradian
scholarship -- consolidate some of the most important voices and
perspectives on Conrad's relation to the natural world, and open
new avenues for Conradian and environmental scholarship in the 21st
century.
Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Joseph
Conrad's novels and short stories have consistently figured into -
and helped to define - the dominant trends in literary criticism.
This book is the first to provide a thorough yet accessible
overview of Conrad scholarship and criticism spanning the entire
history of Conrad studies, from the 1895 publication of his first
book, Almayer's Folly, to the present. While tracing the general
evolution of the commentary surrounding Conrad's work, John G.
Peters's careful analysis also evaluates Conrad's impact on
critical trends such as the belles lettres tradition, the New
Criticism, psychoanalysis, structuralist and post-structuralist
criticism, narratology, postcolonial studies, gender and women's
studies, and ecocriticism. The breadth and scope of Peters's study
make this text an essential resource for Conrad scholars and
students of English literature and literary criticism.

teachers and principals leading the change process; the reasons why
many students do not perform well; practical, specific tips that
can turn a school's vision for change into a school's reality.
Must-have guides designed to introduce students and teachers to key
topics and authors. Joseph Conrad is one of the most intriguing and
important modernist novelists. His writing continues to preoccupy
twenty-first-century readers. This introduction by a leading
scholar is aimed at students coming to Conrad's work for the first
time. The rise of postcolonial studies has inspired new interest in
Conrad's themes of travel, exploration, and racial and ethnic
conflict. John Peters explains how these themes are explored in his
major works, Nostromo, Lord Jim and Heart of Darkness, as well as
his short stories. He provides an essential overview of Conrad's
fascinating life and career and his approach to writing and
literature. A guide to further reading is included which points to
some of the most useful secondary criticism on Conrad. This is the
most comprehensive and concise introduction to studying Conrad
available, and will be essential reading for students of the
twentieth-century novel and of modernism.

John Peters investigates the impact of Impressionism on Conrad and links this to his literary techniques as well as his philosophical and political views. Impressionism, Peters argues, enabled Conrad to encompass both surface and depth not only in visually perceived phenomena but also in his narratives and objects of consciousness, be they physical objects, human subjects, events or ideas. Conrad and Impressionism investigates the sources and implications of Conrad's impressionism in order to argue for a consistent link among his literary technique, philosophical presuppositions and socio-political views.
