In this book, Robert Leeson and Charles Palm have assembled an amazing collection of Milton Friedman's best works on freedom. Even more amazing is that the selection represents only 1 percent of the 1,500 works by Friedman that Leeson and Palm have put online in a user-friendly format-and an even smaller percentage if you include their archive of Friedman's audio and television recordings, correspondence, and other writings. This book and the larger...

This sampling of the work of J.M.S. Careless in the area of Canadian historical studies was selected by the eminent scholar himself, and represents much of his finest work. The collection spans the years from 1940 to 1990 in the long and distinguished career of one of Canada's best-known historians. In Careless' own words, History is dated.

Perhaps the first thing to strike one, in reading Cornelio Fabro's account of the question of God, is his passion for this topic, evident throughout this admirable translation of a work first published over sixty years ago (Dio: Introduzione al problema teologico [1953]). To Fabro, the question of God haunts every human life and "every age of human history." even atheists witness "to the God whose presence they cannot tolerate" by "the obstinacy that...

Fabro's Introduction to Saint Thomas is much more than simply a life of Aquinas; imbued with the reflections of a lifetime of philosophical and theological research, the Stigmatine presents not only the life and works of Aquinas, but also a detailed study of the Thomistic schools throughout the centuries, and explains how Aquinas can enter into dialogue with the philosophical world of today.

As a modernist woman writer, H.D. could best be described as an advocate of experimentation and change. F. S. Flint, an early representative member of the movement of Imagism, discusses the ideological core of this generation that does not endorse a single form but demonstrates "a free spirit". Flint's remarks reveal that the aim of this new generation is to discover new forms of artistic expression. His views match equally well with H.D.'s heretic...

In the very first sentence of "Spiegel, das Kätzchen" (1855), Gottfried Keller delineates what this story is about: economy, language, and psychology. The artistic tradition has endowed mirrors with the power to speak the truth and to reveal what otherwise falls in the blind spot of reason. Cats, on the other hand, with their experience as witches' sidekicks, decorated with boots and golden chains, are dressed to narrate and to represent obscure...

The question of whether Sylvia Plath was a confessional poet or not, has dominated and been at the centre of most critical studies of her work, ever since the publication of her final collection of poems. In this book, I will try to do more than show how similar her poetry is to that of other confessional poets, like Robert Lowell, Theodore Roethke and Anne Sexton.
To achieve this purpose, I will present a very brief comparison of "Daddy", one of...
