As unusual or esoteric as the subject might seem, Joyce's punctuation offers a way to study and appreciate his stylistic innovations and the materiality of his textual productions. Joyce's shunning of what he called "perverted commas" and the general absence of punctuation in Molly Bloom's monologue are only the most infamous instances of a deeply idiosyncratic and changeable use of punctuation. The essays collected in Doubtful Points: Joyce and Punctuation investigate ellipses, parentheses, commas, dashes, colons, semi-colons, full stops, and even diacritics to explore a surprising array of contingent subjects: Joyce's working relationships with publishers; questions of editing and translation; hermeneutic and epistemological dilemmas and reading strategies; linguistic nationalisms; the ideological effects of regulated writing; and more. This book is sure to edify and intrigue "fullstoppers" and "semicolonials" alike.

“An Unknown Future and a Doubtful Present: Writing the Victory Plan of 1941”covers the work of then Maj. Albert C. Wedemeyer, the principal author of the Victory Plan. In just forty-eight months America raised and equipped a modern army seemingly overnight, a feat that owed much to sound military planning. As Wedemeyer makes clear, mobilization transcends purely military matters and must be understood to embrace the capacity of nations. His work underscores the fact that even in 1941 warfare had become so vast in scope, so expensive, and so technologically complex that nations could never again afford to maintain in time of peace the armies needed in time of war. The conclusion seems inescapable: The United States Army must keep mobilization planning at the center of all its military planning. Military planners and all those studying mobilization and logistics will benefit from processes Wedemeyer and his colleagues used in reaching their decisions on the units and material needed. The Victory Plan provides a clear picture of how they approached the challenge of preparing for modern war.

What does it mean to render the processes of making art—cutting, pasting, and projecting light—as a series of metaphors for how we think and how we live? And why would an artist embark on such an enterprise? This book considers how renowned artist William Kentridge spins the material operations of the studio into a web of politically astute and historically grounded metaphors, likening erasure to forgetting, comparing animation to the flux of history, and marshaling drawing as a form of nonlinear argument. Placing Kentridge’s visual vocabulary and unorthodox methods of production in the context of South Africa’s history, Leora Maltz-Leca explores studio process in all of its metaphoric and philosophical dimensions.

Whether You’re a Believer or a Skeptic, You’ve Got Questions... Why would a good God allow evil? Isn’t truth subjective? Can you prove God’s existence? How can I grow in the Lord and overcome temptation? Isn’t the Bible just full of contradictions? What about those who’ve never heard the gospel? How can I know God’s will? Isn’t Christianity a crutch? What does the Bible say about modern issues? The last thing you want is some pat, pithy answer that leaves your questions unanswered – or one that requires a seminary degree to understand. This book has none of that – it gives thoughtful, clear, and easy-to-understand answers that leave you with: · A renewed sense of power, strength, and commitment that comes with knowing what and why you believe. · Confidence that Christianity is intellectually sound enough to stand up to even the toughest scrutiny. · Answers to what the Bible teaches on even the toughest issues. · A renewed sense of trust in the accuracy and relevance of the Word of God. · Your intellectual obstacles to following God removed. · The ability to defend and articulate your faith on every issue. “The Scripture tells us to, ‘grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.’ In these times of uncertainty and moral relativism there is great comfort that God’s Word provides clear answers for the vexing questions of the day. The topics addressed in this book provide a sound and systematic doctrinal position in easily understood terms that will help all believers grow in grace and knowledge.” Kurt Kelly, Florida State Representative Foreword by George McGovern, Team Chaplain: New York Giants and Yankees.

Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro) was born in 70 BCE near Mantua and was educated at Cremona, Milan and Rome. Slow in speech, shy in manner, thoughtful in mind, weak in health, he went back north for a quiet life. Influenced by the group of poets there, he may have written some of the doubtful poems included in our Virgilian manuscripts. All his undoubted extant work is written in his perfect hexameters. Earliest comes the collection of ten pleasingly artificial bucolic poems, the Eclogues, which imitated freely Theocritus's idylls. They deal with pastoral life and love. Before 29 BCE came one of the best of all didactic works, the four hooks of Georgics on tillage, trees, cattle, and bees. Virgil's remaining years were spent in composing his great, not wholly finished, epic the Aeneid, on the traditional theme of Rome's origins through Aeneas of Troy. Inspired by the Emperor Augustus's rule, the poem is Homeric in metre and method but influenced also by later Greek and Roman literature, philosophy, and learning, and deeply Roman in spirit. Virgil died in 19 BCE at Brundisium on his way home from Greece, where he had intended to round off the Aeneid. He had left in Rome a request that all its twelve books should be destroyed if he were to die then, but they were published by the executors of his will.The Loeb Classical Library edition of Virgil is in two volumes.
