This is a beautifully written book which, contrary to readings of Giacomo Leopardi which portray him as a pessimist, undertakes the task of reconstructing his ethical project by highlighting the affirmative politics of sharing, flourishing and sociality that underpins his work. In doing so, this research adopts a new vantage point for looking both at key ethical categories and our human fragility as a response to the theoretical and political challenges imposed by the environmental catastrophe that characterizes our time.

A Philosophy for the Environmental Crisis

The Ethics of Giacomo Leopardi

"Academic literary criticism continues to be dominated by 'theory' and the struggle between deconstructionist and humanist approaches to the business of reading. Jonathan Culler's On Deconstruction is a typically patient, thoughtful, illuminating exposition of the ideas of Jacques Derrida and their application to literary studies." David Lodge, Commonweal
"Culler is lucid and thorough, can move into and out of other people's arguments without losing the sense of his own voice and argument, and can manage to seem equally at home with Freudianism, feminism, and traditional literary criticism." Times Literary Supplement
"As a practicing critic Culler has always been a deconstructor, and he approaches this topic with special immediacy and force. In On Deconstruction he offers generous summaries of numerous representative articles and a fine annotated bibliography ... His magisterial way of tracing particular topics and techniques through our diaspora of critical texts, and his provocative analyses, cannote fail to focus any critic's thinking about deconstruction." Modern Language Quarterly
"Gifted with grace and clarity, Culler provides us with a stimulating survey of contemporary literary criticism." Antioch Review

On Deconstruction

"It covers, in great detail, a single topic, of considerable theoretical interest and great practical importance. . . His command of the history, literature, theory and practice of emulsion polymerization, and its importance in the polymerization of vinyl acetate and related acrylic  comonomers is remarkable and well set out in this book. . . The whole book is well referenced, and is recommended to any laboratory concerned with the production, examination or application of vinyl acetate-based emulsion polymers."-CA Finch"The authors intent was to provide "an introductory and clear text" about polyvinyl acetate-based latices and some of the problems involved in their production."- Journal of American Chem Society, Vol. 122, No. 51Promo Copy

‘This discourse analysis handbook wins hands down as the most intellectually responsible in the field - both in terms of the comprehensiveness of the topics considered and the international spectrum of specialists involved.’
James Martin, University of Sydney, Australia 
‘The Handbook of Discourse Analysis is accessible to undergraduates and yet a state-of-the-art introduction for graduate students and practicing researchers in a wide range of fields. There are many introductions to or handbooks of Discourse Analysis available today. This is the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and internationally representative of them all.’
Sarah Michaels, Clark University, USA
