Heine possesses that divine malice without which I cannot imagine perfection . . . And how he employs German! It will one day be said that Heine and I have been by far the first artists of the German language. &mdash;Friedrich Nietzsche Heine&rsquo;s short account of his journey through the Harz Mountains remains today, with Sterne&rsquo;s memories of France and Goethe&rsquo;s record of Italy, the greatest travel writing in literary history. Funny, biting, but always tender, his digressive rendering is inimitably pleasurable. Now Peter Wortsman&rsquo;s new translation brings to the English reader Heine&rsquo;s sumptuous syntax, verbal wit, and stylistic virtuosity. &mdash;Eric Banks Peter Wortsman's new translation of&#160;Travel Pictures, Heine's major early work, reveals a mercurial writer with a vitriolic streak, one whose comic voice is equal match to his lyricism. &mdash;Joao Ribas, Review of Contemporary Fiction This poet was Heinrich Heine, who dominated me longer than any one author that I have known. &mdash;William Dean Howells

The Vintage Book of Contemporary American Poetry

Golf in Broome County

This book is written in such a way that will appeal to graduate students as well as academics and practitioners – it is clear, concise and precise and well structured around key themes. At a critical juncture in corporate governance studies generally, and compliance specifically, this book brings some much-needed optimism to the field. I came away from the read with a much more positive outlook than prior. I advise you to do the same.

"Beautifully rendered. . . . Unexpectedly and intensely moving.&#8221; &#8211;The New York Times Book Review&#8220;Few novelists can stand with Anita Brookner when it comes to the interior revelations of the human heart. . . . A single sentence, a certain expression, a look or a gesture convey worlds of meaning. . . . Every page has a felicity of wording that makes you want to reach for a pen, to underline passages that you don&#8217;t want to forget.&#8221; &#8211;The Seattle Times"Beautifully written. . . . The Rules of Engagement demonstrates the triumph of a keenly introspective mind." &#8211;The Atlantic Monthly&#8220;The Rules of Engagement is vintage Brookner in the grace and ease of its language. The Booker Prize-winning author is a gifted storyteller, weaving in twists and turns that make the book hard to abandon.&#8221; &#8211;Chicago Tribune&#8220;Elizabeth Wetherall is clearly recognizable as one of Brookner&#8217;s exquisite gem solitaries. . . . To read Brookner is to come into contact with a first-rate mind. . . . [She] is relentlessly existential. But also comic.&#8221; &#8211;Miami Herald&#8220;The story is told . . . with such elegance and polish that its surface&#8211;satiny, flawless and smooth as an onion, as always&#8211;holds a fascination equal to its content.&#8221; &#8211;The Washington Post Book World&#8220;One of the great strengths of Brookner&#8217;s fiction: her ability to lay bare in limpid, measured, luminous prose her characters&#8217; least admirable, most desperate motivations.&#8221; &#8211;Los Angeles Times Book Review&#8220;[Brookner renders] her characters with intense fidelity. Few novelists have such a subtle, portrait artist&#8217;s sense of their characters.&#8221; &#8211;San Francisco Chronicle&#8220;Brookner is a master of the art of the middle distance and as graceful as a matador when she uses the bright cape of her elegant Jamesian sentences to keep intimacy at bay.&#8221; &#8211;The Boston Globe

A Charlotte and Thomas Pitt Novel

Treachery at Lancaster Gate

'With the merciless scale, intensity, and disruptive effects of human activities now recognised to be beyond understanding, and with restraint　seemingly an increasingly distant dream, rethinking human relationships with nature has become an urgent task. Until this seminal philosophical　work however, no scholar has provided the depth of sustained and informed ontological reflection which at last takes us to the heart of the　problems we moderns have given ourselves. Working patiently through the key elements of a relational ontology, Noer Lie shows how modesty　could emerge as an unproblematically normal, defining quality of modern culture, if we were to start from a more sensible place. His account of ontology builds in contingency, but without licensing any denial of responsibility. Moreover this affirmation of the foundational importance of relationality also help　re-establish　the relationship between human ethics, science and nature in a way that may　solve　problems within environmental ethics and philosophy of technology that have lain unresolved for decades.　As if offering a means of resolving our human problems with nature were not a sufficient contribution, Noer Lie’s relational ontology also subtly offers to science an oblique way of escaping its long-standing and perhaps endemic problems with its own hubris.'
Brian Wynne, Lancaster University, UK

&ldquo;Enchanting. . . . Tudge sees grandeur in how trees exist in the world . . . and  demonstrates it with fascinating stories.&rdquo; &ndash;New York Times Book Review &ldquo;Tudge writes  in the great tradition of naturalists such as Humboldt and John Muir. . . . Eloquent  and deeply persuasive.&rdquo;&ndash;Los Angeles Times &ldquo;To be both scientifically literate and  lyrically inclined is a unique gift, and justly celebrated whenever we encounter  it, in Lewis Thomas, for example, or in Stephen Jay Gould. Colin Tudge is such an  individual.&rdquo; &ndash;Melissa Fay Green, Washington Post "Through its astonishing revelations  about what is related to what in the plant world, Colin Tudge's The Tree reawakens  the pleasure of those childish games [of classifying animal, vegetable, or mineral].  But The Tree is a far deeper book than this might suggest, for its author has a remarkable  ability to ask fundamental questions about trees and their world--questions that,  much to our detriment, most of us stopped asking as we grew up. . . . The Tree is  full of  . . . wonderful scientific facts and folklore. . . . Profound."&#160;&ndash;Tim Flannery,  New York Review of Books  &ldquo;English biologist Tudge has synthesized volumes of research  and presents his resulting work with humor, passion, even panache. . . . Fascinating.  . . . Dazzling. . . . Few books are as relevant for our time as this one.&rdquo; &ndash;Kirkus  Reviews, starred &ldquo;In an elegant tribute to denizens of nature that humans too often  take for granted, British biologist Tudge presents a wealth of intriguing facts about  trees. . . . A persuasive call to action for the preservation of the environment  so that trees, and humans, can survive.&rdquo; &ndash;Publishers Weekly"Page after page of astonishing  tree-facts &hellip; makes us look anew at the familiar, to understand a little more of the  hidden and constantly enacted miracles taking place in the woods all around us."&#160;&ndash;Sunday Times (UK) &ldquo;In this comprehensive book, Tudge combines vast knowledge of  evolutionary biology with a gift for storytelling.&rdquo; &ndash;Entertainment Weekly"Reminds  us just what we spend our lives not knowing, and all of it is not only wondrous and  important but entirely free."&#160;&ndash;Guardian (UK)"A love-letter to trees, written with  passion and scientific rigour &hellip; a pleasure to read. Tudge writes with warmth and  wit."&#160;&ndash;Financial Times (UK) &ldquo;Science writer extraordinaire Tudge offers a sumptuously  specific tour of the phenomenal world of trees. . . . Tudge&rsquo;s explanation of how  climate change will endanger trees is invaluable. . . .
