This volume covers a variety of authors and topics related to the New Criticism school of the 1920s–1950s in America. Contributors trace the history of the New Criticism as a movement, consider theoretical and practical aspects of various proponents, and assess the record of subsequent engagement with its tenets.

As a recent college graduate and fledging newspaper reporter in the Lake Tahoe area, Jeremy Evans became immersed in ski bum culture--a carefree lifestyle whose mantra was simply: "Ski as much as possible." His snowboarding suffered when he left for a job in the Portland area; and when, at twenty-six, he suffered a stroke, he reexamined his priorities, quit his job, moved back to Tahoe, and threw himself into snowboarding.

At last, we can say the word love at work. We can acknowledge what has been true all along: love is what works at work. Love has been just outside the office door for centuries. We have heard its knock, but we have said, not here . Some enlightened leaders have recently moved to, not yet . But finally, Nigel Cutts has said, now . In this beautiful book he has opened the door. He has done this because love is what produces results. People perform best when they are loved: when they are respected, when they can soar because of who they are their experience, their talents, their capacity, their intelligence is cherished. We all know this. Now we can stop believing the nonsense. We can stop putting off putting love on the top of the list of required expertise in leaders.
NEUTRALIZING MEASURES Part godfather, part killer for Islam, a Mumbai mob boss digs his dirty hands deep into guns, drugs, prostitution, gambling, poaching...and now terror. His crime syndicate has already devastated the Indian subcontinent with a string of atrocities--all on the Pakistani intelligence agency's dime--with the threat of more to come. Much more. Vowing to stop the blood trail before it spills into America's streets, Mack Bolan razes mob-controlled casinos, armories and meth labs, dropping any syndicate soldiers in his way. His goal: flush the lead terrorist out of hiding and send him running for the hills of Pakistan. As the desperate enemy retaliates, the battle won't be over until Bolan's path is littered with the wreckage of his enemy.
