Maria Montessori
Maria Montessori's work and thinking form a unique legacy to current educational thinking and practice.

Within each key aspect, the author considers the implications for Montessori education and the views of critics and supporters, demonstrating their relevance to the demands of an education system within today's modern society.
Shy of the Squirrel's Foot
The Jargon Society, a boundary-pushing publisher of poetry and experimental writing, was founded by Jonathan Williams (1929–2008) in 1951. Jargon quickly gained a reputation as the home of the poetic and literary avant-garde, including noted midcentury poets like Charles Olson and Lorine Niedecker. Williams himself looms large in this story as the publisher at Jargon until his death, making this book as much about his life and work as the press he founded, which today operates through the Black Mountain College Museum in Asheville, North Carolina. Andy Martrich authors this story in a manner befitting Jargon’s ethos of literary experimentation by focusing on the books the Society catalog...

The Morrigan
Three women from different eras--the nineteenth century, mid-twentieth century, and late twentieth century--lead disturbingly parallel lives.

Can they discover who they are in time to save themselves from a nightmarish fate? Interweaving Celtic myth with a compelling mystery, "The Morrigan" will draw you into the lives of its memorable characters, inviting you to piece the puzzle together as the story moves toward its explosive climax.
Heart in Conflict
Heart in Conflict is a study of two periods of intense vocational crisis in William Faulkner's career as a writer: his time of apprenticeship, before the composition of The Sound and the Fury, and the beginnings, in the late 1930s and early 1940s, of the long season of decline that followed the completion of Absalom, Absalom! These periods of crisis, Michael Grimwood argues, grew out of an ongoing tension between the divided components of Faulkner's personality between two versions of himself: the illiterate bumpkin and the sophisticated aesthete. It was a collaboration between these two postures that formed Faulkner's vocation, that created the impulse to translate the rural, unlettered wor...
