Book Description
The arrival of a stranger changes an ordinary evening into one of confusion and uncertainty. Wittmond departs with the mysterious visitor and as a result of his haste, his wife comes across a concealed diary. Entries dating back thirty years tell of exploits around the world. While he and his "associate" attempt to deal with the unexpected and dangerous consequences of a previous mission, she delves into a detailed account of a past she had only vaguely suspected. Perhaps it contains the reason why the danger has come so close to home. About the Author Dr. Lawrence G. Burch earned a PhD in physical chemistry at St. Louis University and began his career as a thermal engineer on both the NASA Apollo and Space Shuttle programs. With the ending of the space program, he went to medical school. After internship and residency, he returned to his hometown of Alton, Illinois, where he practiced internal medicine for thirty years. Now retired, he is engaged in part-time hospital administration consulting and is a guest lecturer on engineering at his high school alma mater. He and his wife now live on a farm in southwestern Illinois, a mile from the neighbor and an hour from "civilization."

"Fanned and Winnowed Opinions"
Author: John W. Mahon
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000350118
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Originally published in 1987, "Fanned and Winnowed Opinions" celebrates the scholarship of Professor Harold Jenkins, one of this century’s foremost editors and critics of Shakespeare. All of the essays address Shakespearean topics, and many of the sixteen focus on the years between 1595 and 1605, the period on which much of Professor Jenkin’s work centers: there are, appropriately, three essays on Hamlet. A variety of critical approaches is represented, including the Freudian and the feminist; some essays focus on one play, while others take a thematic approach. Comedies, histories, and tragedies all come under consideration. The contributors include many distinguished scholars, some of whom studied under Professor Jenkins or edited volumes of the Arden Shakespeare under his direction. All of the contributions were specifically written for the Festschrift and had not appeared in print before. In addition to the scholarly essays, the volume features an introduction with an appreciative review of Harold Jenkins’ career and a complete bibliography of his works.
