Recapturing Sophocles' Antigone
In this book, Wm. Blake Tyrrell and Larry J. Bennett examine Sophocles' Antigone in the context of its setting in fifth-century Athens. The authors attempt to create an interpretive environment that is true to the issues and interests of fifth-century Athenians, as opposed to those of modern scholars and philosophers. As they contextualize the play in the dynamics of ancient Athens, the authors discuss the text of the Antigone in light of recent developments in the study of Greek antiquity and tragedy, and they turn to modern Greek rituals of lamentation for suggestive analogies. The result is a compelling book which opens new insights to the text, challenges the validity of old problems, and eases difficulties in its interpretation.
Larry
Have you ever dreamed and afterwards had it come true? Have you ever had the desire to change things and, after seeing your wish in a dream or vision, it occurred? Meet Larry Bennett, a young man growing up in the 1950's, who has an enormous power much greater than he ever wanted to accept or imagine. Larry had a tremendous fear of his visions; yet he knew it was useless to try and change them. What started as simple dreams, became real visions of murderous acts and deaths Where was Larry getting this power that he knew he could never tell anyone about, and yet could do nothing to prevent? Why? How could this be happening to him? He prayed to God to lift his burden, or take himself in death to end the incubus. Follow this fast paced, extraordinary journey in the life of Larry Bennett's dreams and visions. A life that's filled with love, romance, compassion and his dreams and sometimes-deadly visions, that he sadly resigned himself to an acceptance of whatever would come.

Republic of Noise
"In this book, Diana Senechal confronts a culture that has come to depend on instant updates and communication at the expense of solitude. Schools today emphasize rapid group work and fragmented activity, not the thoughtful study of complex subjects. The Internet offers contact with others throughout the day and night; we lose the ability to be apart, even in our minds. Yet solitude plays an essential role in literature, education, democracy, relationships, and matters of conscience. Throughout its analyses and argument, the book calls not for drastic changes but for a subtle shift: an attitude that honors solitude without descending into dogma"--Provided by publisher.
