George Eliot's most ambitious novel is a masterly evocation of diverse lives and changing fortunes in a provincial community.

Dr. George K. Simon knows how people push your buttons: your children---especially teens---are experts at it, as is your mate.

In THE GRAMMAR OF SELF, George Watt presents a lifetime of memories, which seemingly move at random from decade to decade, from continent to continent, from cosmos to microcosm. It does have one central goal: to look at poetry as an attempt towards objectification of aspects of personal identity, as a means through which the self may be confronted, challenged and celebrated. But the volume of verse does more than that as it subscribes to a notion from Thomas Szasz about the self: it is “not something that one finds.
