Never forget. This stirring memoir of Polish Holocaust survivor Samuel Ron is structured as a Q&A with students, in order to reflect the decades he has spent educating groups about his survival from four Nazi concentration camps, and his many contributions to the founding of the modern State of Israel.

Highly original and insightful, Bearing Across explores the complex interrelationships between American literature and science in the 20th century. Steven Carter begins this unprecedented work by examining the influence that science and scientific thinking has had on the creative processes of several postmodern writers. Focusing on the literary works of Charles Olson, Robert Duncan and Jack Spicer, he investigates the philosophical impact that field and quantum theories have had on these imaginative writers. The second section of the book features radical re-readings of six of Hemingway's best-known short stories as it explores the features of an epistemological model that not only inform literature and science but art and philosophy as well. Carter's interdisciplinary approach allows him to offer a unique perspective that is sure to intrigue scholars seeking an innovative approach to understanding modern literature.

The Nuptial Mind is about the coincident decadence of mind and sexuality in American society today, particularly on the university campus. Lloyd E. Sandelands argues that this decadence owes to a contemporary blindness to the theological precept expressed in Biblical revelation that God created Man in His image, as "male and female in one flesh." The book advances the "nuptial hypothesis" that the human mind reaches its greatest heights of creative realism when its male and female aspects are integrated in the image of God. The Nuptial Mind explores the theology of the body outlined by the Catholic Church.
