O'Connor is concerned with the way in which war imposes a false and cruel ethic on people, ruthlessly destroying human relationships. The title story has been widely acknowledged as one of the masterpieces of the short story form. About the author  () An Irish master of the short story, Frank O'Connor was born Michael O'Donovan in Cork. It is not surprising to learn in the first part of his autobiography, An Only Child (), that he took his adored mother's name. O'Connor's absorbing interest was the literary treasury of Ireland. He labored tirelessly over masterful translations of ancient Gaelic works. O'Connor wrote the well-received A Short History of Irish Literature: A Backward Look and edited an anthology of prose and poetry, A Book of Ireland (), which contains some of his own translations from the Gaelic. His Shakespeare's Progress () is an appraisal of the bard. In The Lonely Voice: A Study of the Short Story (), he examines the work of those he considers the great short story writers of the past. The subjects of his own stories are the middle and lower-middle classes of his beloved Ireland. In his last years, O'Connor lived mostly in the United States, where he taught at Harvard and Northwestern universities.

This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 11 working days An authoritative, deeply researched biography of the most controversial and outspoken Supreme Court justice of our time and how he chose to be "right" rather than influential. Antonin Scalia knew only success in the first fifty years of his life. His sterling academic and legal credentials led to his nomination by President Ronald Reagan to the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in . In four short years there, he successfully outmaneuvered the more senior Robert Bork to be appointed to the Supreme Court in . Scalia's evident legal brilliance and personal magnetism led everyone to predict he would unite a new conservative majority under Chief Justice William Rehnquist and change American law in the process. Instead he became a Court of One. Rather than bringing the conservatives together, Scalia drove them apart. He attacked and alienated his more moderate colleagues Sandra Day O'Connor, then David Souter, and finally Anthony Kennedy. Scalia prevented the conservative majority from coalescing for nearly two decades. "Scalia: A Court of One" is the compelling story of one of the most polarizing figures ever to serve on the nation's highest court. It provides an insightful analysis of Scalia's role on a Court that, like him, has moved well to the political right, losing public support and ignoring public criticism. To the delight of his substantial conservative following, Scalia's "originalism" theory has become the litmus test for analyzing, if not always deciding, cases. But Bruce Allen Murphy shows that Scalia's judicial conservatism is informed as much by his highly traditional Catholicism, mixed with his political partisanship, as by his reading of the Constitution. Murphy also brilliantly analyzes Scalia's role in major court decisions since the mid-s and scrutinizes the ethical controversies that have dogged Scalia in recent years. "A Court of One" is a fascinating examination of one outspoken justice's decision not to play internal Court politics, leaving him frequently in dissent, but instead to play for history, seeking to etch his originalism philosophy into American law.

SYNOPSIS, BLURB...: A wonderful title being the history of the formation and operation of the IMPERIAL BRITISH EAST AFRICA COMPANY until . This volume was in the library of Lord Rosebury whilst he was Prime Minister of Great Britain. Rosebery was a pivotal figure in the formation of the IBEA Co and a firm supporter. Indeed, without his input it is doubtful the company would have become manifest upon the ground in East Africa. A good copy of the first edition of a very scarce title of only two editions (also ). An ambitious and short lived project, the IBEA Co kick started European government, trade and settlement in Kenya. The IBEA Co was wound up in and the administration assumed by Imperial government. A good copy of the first edition of a very scarce title of only two editions (also ). Unique in having been within the library of so pivotal and important a personage as Lord Rosebery. It was later within another library, the labels and marks of which have been sadly (and badly) removed leaving the ghost of the impression of a hand stamp and m/s entries inside the front fly.                      

A Dreamworks animation film, Monsters Vs. Aliens features a host of stars including Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, Kiefer Sutherland and Will Arnett and is helmed by Rob Lettermen (Shark Tale) and Conrad Vernon (Shrek 2). When California girl Susan Murphy (Reece Witherspoon) is unexpectedly hit by a meteor full of outer space gunk, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall and is instantly labeled a monster named Ginormica. The military jumps into action, and she is captured and held in a secret government compound. The world learns that the military has been quietly rounding up other monsters over the years. This ragtag group consists of the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. (Hugh Laurie); the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link (Will Arnett); the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B. (Seth Rogan); and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement time is cut short however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country.

With soaring photography that circles from above then swoops in for the action, TROY is Wolfgang Petersen's majestic presentation of the classic Greek legend. It tells the story of an epic battle over Helen (Diane Kruger), the queen of Sparta, who is kidnapped by her lover Paris (Orlando Bloom), the prince of Troy. This infuriates Helen's husband Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson), whose brother Agamemnon (Brian Cox) convinces him to invade Troy and kill Helen. They recruit Achilles (Brad Pitt), the best warrior in Greece, whose bravery, quick feet, and remarkable swordsmanship (not to mention tan biceps, short kilts, and blond locks) have earned him a reputation that is almost as impressive as his ego. Achilles agrees to fight for Sparta, if only for the fame it will bring him. Even Achilles' mother, in a touching scene, advises him to forget mortal achievements and become a hero who will be remembered throughout history. Along with the invasion of Troy, a series of duals must also be fought: Paris, who is heartbreaking in his lovestruck naivety, must go up against the enraged Menelaus; and Achilles must settle a score with Hector (Eric Bana), who is fiercely dedicated to protecting his brother Paris and their father, the frail king Priam (Peter O'Toole). When the war finally ignites in its massive proportions, the action is awesome. And as the increasingly dramatic events play out, TROY earns its own timeless reputation among other action-adventure epics such as GLADIATOR and SPARTACUS.
