D. H. Lawrence and Frieda
In 1912, D H Lawrence met Frieda von Richthofen, the wife of his former professor, and fell in love with her. The pair eloped to Bavaria, leaving her three children behind and two years later they were married. This book sheds a different light on the Lawrences, using several of Frieda's letters.
Living at the Edge : a Biography of D.H. Lawrence and Frieda Von Richthofen
Squires (English, Virginia Tech) and Talbot (Spanish, Roanoke College) collected Frieda Laurence's letters for years before realizing that they could add considerable insight to a biography of her famous writer husband. The result, though focusing on him, turned out to be a biography of them as a couple, pulling her out from his shadow. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

There is No Such Thing as a Natural Disaster
There is No Such Thing as a Natural Disaster is the first comprehensive critical book on the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans. The disaster will go down on record as one of the worst in American history, not least because of the government’s inept and cavalier response. But it is also a huge story for other reasons; the impact of the hurricane was uneven, and race and class were deeply implicated in the unevenness. Hartman and. Squires assemble two dozen critical scholars and activists who present a multifaceted portrait of the social implications of the disaster. The book covers the response to the disaster and the roles that race and class played, its impact on housing and redevelopment, the historical context of urban disasters in America and the future of economic development in the region. It offers strategic guidance for key actors - government agencies, financial institutions, neighbourhood organizations - in efforts to rebuild shattered communities.
Meltdown
Meltdown reveals how the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was able to curb important unsafe and unfair practices that led to the recent financial crisis. In interviews with key government, industry, and advocacy groups along with deep archival research, Kirsch and Squires show where the CFPB was able to overcome many abusive practices, where it was less able to do so, and why. Open for business in 2011, the CFPB was Congress's response to the financial catastrophe that shattered millions of middle-class and lower-income households and threatened the stability of the global economy. But only a few years later, with U.S. economic conditions on a path to recovery, there are already disturbi...
The Challenge of D.H. Lawrence
"Thirteen essays that aim to illuminate the achievement of one of England's greatest modern writers. Employing a variety of perspectives - historical, cultural, theoretical, feminist - the critics here assembled address concerns about Lawrence's work that have emerged in recent years: his attitudes toward the working class, art, women, Britain; his conceptions of male-female relationships, sexuality, education and knowledge; and his place in cultural history and the traditions of the English novel. All of the essays - from reassessments of Lawrence's position in the English literary tradition to analyses of his influence on recent American poetry - find renewed faith in the challenge of Lawrence's work, making this volume of interest to Lawrence scholars and students"--
