#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER&ldquo;Storyteller. Counsellor. Life coach. Canadian singer Jann Arden wears all those hats&mdash;and more&mdash;in her latest memoir . . . If I Knew Then&#160;will strike vibrato chords with readers.&#160;Like her song lyrics, Arden&rsquo;s phrasing is simple, authentic and rich. It resonates. She wears her wounds on her sleeve, and isn&rsquo;t afraid to show her scars."&#160;&mdash;Winnipeg Free PressPraise for Jann Arden:&ldquo;The type of free-spirited, brutally truthful woman who can stand toe to toe with any man or woman. Funny and not afraid to sprinkle an interview with helpings of words your mother would never allow in the house, Arden is two parts poet and one part your crazy aunt.&rdquo; &mdash;The Toronto Sun &#160; &ldquo;[Jann Arden is] abundantly and humorously generous with herself in public. . . . No doubt Arden holds some secrets, some passions, some pain close to the vest, but, like the best gossip in the neighbourhood, she diverts our attention with titillating yarns.&rdquo; &mdash;Toronto Star

&ldquo;An endlessly fortifying mixture of famous works and neglected gems that can take pride of place on anyone's bedside table for months before its pleasures come close to being exhausted.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The Wall Street Journal&ldquo;A treasure trove, a word hoard, a bonanza, perfect for dipping into and rifling through. . . .&#160; Lopate has amassed a heap of marvels. . . . &#160;A superb guide to the nation&rsquo;s most adventurous and searching forays into prose.&rdquo; &mdash;Los Angeles Review of Books  &#160;&ldquo;Eight hundred pages of mostly delight and edification. . . . Give in to its choral quality and it's easy to feel not just the sweep of our centuries but the dialogical nature of our grandest ideas and most persistent struggles.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The New York Times&ldquo;An almost embarrassing abundance of riches. . . . Readers of Lopate&rsquo;s seminal 1994 anthology &ldquo;The Art of the Personal Essay&rdquo; will already be familiar with his skill at picking pieces that perfectly offset and interrogate each other. Diving into one of his collections is always a delightful experience.&rdquo; &mdash;Christian Science Monitor&ldquo;A feast of American thought, wit, and wisdom.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Milwaukee Journal Sentinel&ldquo;Phillip Lopate has captured the history of a nation speaking to itself and to the world. Lopate's rich and expansive understanding of the form has allowed him to uncover the essayistic voice in unexpected places&mdash;the sermon, the eulogy, the political treatise. To read The Glorious American Essay is to envision the American experiment itself as a kind of essay, a narrative characterized by trial and error, triumphs and false starts. One comes away from this volume with a renewed sense of the essay's vitality and its ability to capture the diverse and evolving consciousness of a country.&rdquo; &mdash;Meghan O&rsquo;Gieblyn, author of Interior States &#160; &ldquo;In this essential and, I daresay, definitive compendium, Phillip Lopate not only revisits the classics, he offers essays you might not have realized were essays: political speeches, historical documents, the musings of writers who probably&#160;had little idea at the time that&#160;they were creating lasting art. In doing so, Lopate captures what&rsquo;s most magical about this form; it&rsquo;s all around us at eye level&mdash;wherever there are words you can probably find an essay&mdash;yet the right hands can take it to places you never imagined.&rdquo; &mdash;Meghan Daum,&#160;author of My&#160;Misspent Youth: Essays&#160;&ldquo;The essay form models the way we need to live now. We need to think and feel in so many directions, reject easy dogmas, test our beliefs and desires. . . . Once again and right on time, Phillip Lopate offers an indispensable anthology. The Glorious American Essay travels from debate to dreamscape, manifesto to musing, from the struggles of history to the intimacies of the solitary self. Race, gender, science, religion, art, and identity: these quests and conflicts are our legacy as Americans.&rdquo; &mdash;Margo Jefferson, author of Negroland &#160; &ldquo;A sumptuous collection . . . exquisitely curated by one of our finest essayists. An indispensable resource for all of us who love the genre.&rdquo;  &mdash;Robert Atwan, series editor of The Best American Essays&ldquo;The Glorious American Essay&#160;is, quite simply, glorious reading. Lopate has curated a collection of some of the best American essays ever written. . . [T]he book demonstrates the art, the power, the beauty and the cinematic scope of the American essay in its many forms. &#160;Lopate's introduction is a vital, eye-opening assessment of the potential and the impact of the essay and the ways in which nonfiction can inform, persuade, delight, surprise and, most importantly, enlighten the reader.&rdquo;&mdash;Lee Gutkind, author of My Last Eight Thousand Days &#160; &ldquo;The Glorious American Essay situates the essay, an inherently democratic form of art, as the citizen-genre and nothing less than the literary cornerstone of the country. The mongrel nature of the essay is its strength: a mode of adaptability fit for differing, shifting, American ideals. This book could hardly be more timely, relevant, urgent, or necessary.&rdquo;&mdash;David Shields, author of Reality Hunger&ldquo;Lopate&rsquo;s look at three centuries of essays emphasizes how writers have wrestled, explicitly or sub-textually, with America&rsquo;s national values.&rdquo;  &mdash;Publishers Weekly&rsquo;s TOP 10 new titles in Essays & Literary Criticism&#160;&#160;&#160;  &#160; &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t think&#160;of anyone better suited than Phillip Lopate to&#160;put together an anthology like this. It fully deserves to takes its place alongside The Art of the Personal Essay&#160;as an indispensable volume.&rdquo;&#160; &mdash;Geoff Dyer, author of Broadsword Calling Danny Boy&ldquo;Phillip Lopate is one of the most brilliant and original essayists now working. . . . He has sustained the lively openness of the student who observes and hypothesizes, refusing, admirably, to harden into the judge. . . . He is a master, and also a joy to read.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Louise Gl&uuml;ck&#160;&ldquo;Phillip Lopate has earned his place at the center of our literary culture. A superb essayist, he also teaches, edits, [and]&#160;bestows order and perspective on this ever diversifying genre. The Glorious American Essay, showcases some of the best of what Whitman in another context called &lsquo;our varied carols.&rsquo;&rdquo; &mdash;Sven Birkerts, author of The Gutenberg Elegies and The Art of Time in Memoir &#160;&ldquo;A is a thrilling tour through that most elusive jungle&mdash;the American Mind&mdash;over the course of nearly 300 years. There could be no better guide than Phillip Lopate. An invaluable anthology. It should be included in the library of anyone who has even a passing interest in American literature.&rdquo; &mdash;Michael Greenberg, author of Hurry Down Sunshine &#160;&ldquo;As we struggle to come to grips with where America has come from and where it is heading, I can&rsquo;t imagine a better guide than Phillip Lopate&rsquo;s The Glorious American Essay. His selection of incisive essays&mdash;from Cotton Mather and Nathaniel Hawthorne through Marilynne Robinson and Zadie Smith&mdash;charts the course of the great and flawed American experiment.&#160; It&rsquo;s a timely and invaluable anthology.&rdquo; &mdash;James Shapiro, author of Shakespeare in a Divided America &ldquo;What&rsquo;s marvelous is the way Lopate&rsquo;s anthologies&mdash;and this new American collection is no exception&mdash;manage to be not only comprehensive monuments of deep expertise, but such continuously fresh and thrilling reading companions, right through the biographical notes.&rdquo; &mdash;Jonathan Lethem, author of The Feral Detective &#160; &ldquo;Shaped by Phillip Lopate's tremendous intellect and curiosity,&#160;The Glorious American Essay is at once monumental and companionable. The American house of prose has more windows and doors than we had imagined, making this anthology not only an education, but a joy. This is a book for the ages.&rdquo; &mdash;Rivka Galchen, author of Atmospheric Disturbances

From the book reviews:“The text is based on the lecture notes of some, apparently short-term, course and is intended for a reader who is not familiar with the subject, but has already studied such disciplines as Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and perturbation theory. … The target reader could be, for example, a particle phenomenologist who wants to communicate with colleagues from the quantum field theory side and to discuss non-perturbative aspects of the renormalization group.” (Ilya Shapiro, Mathematical Reviews, April, 2014)

"Praise for 1st edition: 'Every scientist must write; every scientist should therefore read this book, and be challenged by it." - Education in Chemistry
"The book's main strength is undoubtedly the wealth of examples drawn from the author's years of experience in dealing with both clearly written and confusing, distorted scientific English...Kirkman's skill at demonstrating 'what not to write' will surely be appreciated by all users of his book...I shall continue to recommend it to students who are writing their first reports, and are seeking to overcome deficiencies in their writing."--Susan Armstrong, University of Glasgow, Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, Vol 7, Issues 1, No. 12, June 2006
