These poems cover three winters of work out of the 60 Roth has spent making his observations of the natural world in upstate New York. Combined with a... passion for the hidden, the unseen and the undiscovered in the life of a singular person, these poems move past simple dimensions and on into the depth, beauty and complexity of a natural world that our own brains have only just begun to dream as if they were reality. As the great French poet Yves Bonnefoy remarked: Tending a small fire in winter to keep warm: what a magnificent definition of poetry, rising from the page of these equally beautiful poems by Paul B. Roth! Our winter, the present dark ages. Our fire, the words. Our warmth, the confidence these poems give us in the day as it breaks tomorrow, perhaps, upon the embers of tonight s fire.

O doutor Otavio Benildo Rocha Venturoso sempre levou uma vida rigida e reta. Primeiro, a infancia dura e pai autoritario; depois, aluno aplicado na... faculdade de medicina em Sao Paulo e a certeza de se tornar um doutor de destaque em Sergipe, sua terra natal. Mas, na casa dos 50 anos, sua carreira nao so estacionou, como parece andar para tras. Depois de uma empreitada catastrofica ao tentar abrir uma clinica com socios pouco recomendaveis, voltou a assumir um pequeno consultorio em uma regiao decadente de Aracaju, onde tem cada vez menos pacientes.Em sua vida pessoal, dr. Rochinha - como e mais conhecido - passa tambem por uma especie de crise. Solteiro convicto, apaixona-se por uma prima, Analice, que parece ser tudo, menos confiavel. Ele sabe que, ao se aproximar dela, se aproxima tambem de uma parte da familia que prefere ve-lo pelas costas. Seu desejo, no entanto, depois de tanto tempo reprimido, tornou-se incontrolavel, e o leva a cada dia mais perto de uma armadilha. Enquanto espera a data do casamento, o dr. Rocha remoi o passado e o presente. E, imobilizado pelas duvidas, aguarda seu incontornavel destino.Em Caderno de ruminacoes, como em seu romance anterior, Sob o peso das sombras, Dantas desloca o cenario do sertao para a cidade, do passado historico para o presente, em uma Aracaju decadente, loteada por politicos, a merce de poucos poderosos, que definem o sucesso ou o fracasso de seus habitantes.Ao narrar os infortunios de um medico corroido por duvidas e remorsos, Dantas continua a explorar as possibilidades da linguagem, mas de forma distinta do que fez em seus primeiros livros - Coivara da memoria e Os desvalidos, elogiados por nomes como Jose Paulo Paes, Alfredo Bosi e Raduan Nassar. Mesclando de maneira original a linguagem coloquial a formal, ele intercala passagens ironicas ao drama de um personagem que remoi sua condicao estagnada e, como uma figura tragica, e incapaz de escapar de seu destino.

Cades CoveThe Life and Death of a Southern Appalachian Community, 1818-1937Durwood DunnWinner of the Thomas Wolfe Literary Award!Drawing on a rich trove... of documents never before available to scholars, the author sketches the early pioneers, their daily lives, their beliefs, and their struggles to survive and prosper in this isolated mountain community, now within the confines of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.In moving detail this book brings to life an isolated mountain community, its struggle to survive, and the tragedy of its demise."Professor Dunn provides us with a model historical investigation of a southern mountain community.  His findings on commercial farming, family, religion, and politics will challenge many standard interpretations of the Appalachian past."--Gordon B. McKinney, Western Carolina University.   "This is a fine book. . . . It is mostly about community and interrelationships, and thus it refutes much of the literature that presents Southern Mountaineers as individualistic, irreligious, violent, and unlawful."—Loyal Jones, Appalachian Heritage.  "Dunn . . . has written one of the best books ever produced about the Southern mountains."—Virginia Quarterly Review.  "This study offers the first detailed analysis of a remote southern Appalachian community in the nineteenth century.  It should lay to rest older images of the region as isolated and static, but it raises new questions about the nature of that premodern community."—Ronald D Eller, American Historical ReviewNot only is his book a worthy addition to the growing body of work recognizing the complexities of southern mountain society; it is also a lively testament to the value of local history and the variety of levels at which it can provide significant enlightenment."—John C. Inscoe,LOCUS

The first book to reveal how thinking like a designer can help solve the greatest challenges we face in business, society, and our daily lives. What can... we learn from the ways great designers think-and how can it improve our world? In this highly original book by journalist Warren Berger, in collaboration with celebrated designer Bruce Mau, ten groundbreaking principles of design are shown in action-addressing business, social, and personal challenges and improving the way we think, work, and live. Glimmer takes readers on a journey through today's fascinating world of design, where the formerly distinct disciplines of graphic, product, and social design are undergoing "smart recombinations." In the cutting-edge studios of Mau and other visionaries, everything is ripe for reinvention-including the ways businesses function, children learn, and communities thrive. Designers are solving problems at an unprecedented pace today by using improved technology and the highly practical design principles described in this book, such as "Ask stupid questions," "Make hope visible," "Work the metaphor," "Embrace constraints," and "Begin anywhere." Glimmer inspires readers to apply these same principles to their own life challenges. While celebrated designers work on re-creating the world, Berger reveals the growing grassroots "glimmer movement" in which everyday people are emerging as designers and problem solvers. Readers will be fascinated by how "transformation design" is reinventing companies and addressing thorny social problems. Berger shares stories of how burned fingers, wrenched backs, and mixed-up pills all led to ingenious new product designs. In a time of anxiety and retrenchment, this hopeful yet hardheaded book illuminates "the glimmer of possibility and potential-that first spark of an innovative idea or a life-changing plan." According to Berger, "This faint light is all around us and also within us, if we can learn to recognize and nurture it." The best designers already know how to transform that glimmer of possibility into the steady glow of creation and innovation-and with the inspiration of Glimmer, we're now all able to do the same.

The Gallic campaigns firmly established Julius Caesar (100 B.C.–44 B.C.) as one of the greatest commanders of all time. After success there, Caesar... turned his loyal army back toward Rome. Crossing the Rubicon, he initiated a civil war, marched triumphally to the capital, besieged Pompey at Brundisium, and pacified Spain. With a tiny army he routed Pompey's far larger forces at Pharsalus, pursued him to his death in Egypt, and established Cleopatra on her throne.Though Caesar's Commentaries are among the most exact and picturesque of historical writings, it is only through knowledge of the geography and weaponry of his campaigns that one can properly understand them. In this history, T. A. Dodge, one of the only military historians to have visited every one of the great general's known battlefields, makes full use of other chroniclers and critics and supplements them with his clear, insightful descriptions of the battles. As a fully illustrated and complete military history of one of history's greatest generals, Caesar is unparalleled.

Caesar and Cleopatra satirizes Shakespeare's use of history and comments wryly on the politics of Shaw's own time, but the undertone of melancholy makes... it one of his most affecting plays.
