Magnetized by God:
Religious Encounters through Film, Theater, Literature and
Painting
2005
The concept of divine revelation means that God is offering
himself to every member of the human race. The central thesis of
this book is that God can be encountered through art. Discussing
film,
theatre, literature and painting, Fr. Lauder suggests that
great art sheds light not only on the mystery of the human
person but also on the mystery of God. |

opportunities for the corruption of the corpus of materials from
which scholars develop their understanding of the past. This volume
focuses on those consequences across different data sets and

History Vietnamese Renovated Theater (Cai
Luong) as a Medium to Address Women's Issues in Modern
Vietnam
2007
Classical (Tuong) and popular (Cheo) operas were acquainted with
the role of women. However, due to the archaic nature of these two
theaters, they could not portray the contemporary issues and
challenges of modern Vietnamese women. Through the amalgamation of
the monarchical temperament of Tuong and the pedantic style of
Cheo, Renovated Theater (Cai Luong) grants women the opportunity to
vent their frustrations and misfortunes through an art that
imitates life. |

covers all major aspects of the subject of apoptosis, or programmed
cell death, written by the most authoritative scientists in the
field. The topic was a major part of the 2002 Nobel Prize in
medicine, and there are over 100,000 publications in the field. The
second edition—a complete rewriting of this book—was solicited

 | | The Joy of Science: An
Examination of How Scientists Ask and Answer
Questions Using the
Story of Evolution as a Paradigm
2008
This book explores why questions arise in science and looks at how
questions are tackled, what constitutes a valid answer and why. The
author does not bog down the reader in technical details or
lists of facts to memorize. Instead, he places the questions in
their historical and cultural context, ranging from the earliest
intimations that the earth had a long history to current
controversies, even describing the origins, challenges and promises
of modern molecular biology. The author’s thesis is that scientific
logic is an extension of the common human logic used by everyone on
a daily basis, and that
it can and should be understood by everyone. |

History, Memory, and the
Literary Left: Modern American Poetry, 1935-1968
2007
Late Modernist American Poetry and Historical Amnesia
investigates the problem of cultural memory that preoccupied late
modernist American poets, from the socioeconomic crisis of the
1930s through the emergence of the new social movements of the
1960s. Concentrating specifically on Left writers whose historical
consciousness was shaped by the Depression and World War II, this
book articulates their challenging revisions of national collective
memory as it redefines the importance of late modernism in American
literary history. |

Excitable Imaginations:
Eroticism and Reading in Britain, 1660-1760
2012
Excitable Imaginations offers a new approach to the
history of pornography. Looking beyond a counter-canon of bawdy
literature, Kathleen Lubey identifies a vigilant attentiveness to
sex across a wide spectrum of literary and philosophical texts in
eighteenth-century Britain. Esteemed public modes of writing such
as nationalist poetry, moral fiction, and empiricist philosophy, as
well as scandalous and obscene writing, persistently narrate erotic
experiences - desire, voyeurism, seduction, orgasm. The recurring
turn to sexuality in literature and philosophy, she argues, allowed
authors to recommend with great urgency how the risqué delights of
reading might excite the imagination to ever-greater degrees of
educability on moral and aesthetic matters. Moralists such as
Richardson and Adam Smith, like their licentious counterparts
Rochester, Haywood, and Cleland, purposefully evoke salacious
fantasy so that their audiences will recognize reading as an
intellectual act that is premised on visceral pleasure. |
