Bloom's How to Write About Stephen Crane (Bloom's How to Write About Literature)
Stephen Crane is widely recognized as a master and innovator of literary naturalism. Among his more popular works are the novels Maggie: A Girl of the Street and The Red Badge of Courage and the short stories "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky," "The Blue Hotel," and "The Open Boat." Bloom's How to Write about Stephen Crane provides students with instructions on how to write an effective essay about Crane and his works and includes bibliographies, an index, and an introduction by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities.
Xenophon's many and varied works represent a major source of information about the ancient Greek world: for example, about culture, politics, social life and history in the fourth century BC, Socrates, horses and hunting with dogs, the Athenian economy, and Sparta. However, there has been controversy about how his works should be read.
Economics is unavoidably central to any attempt to improve our quality of life, but most people do not know why, or how to question its underlying assumptions. The Skeptical Economist rejects the story told by other popular economics books. Responding to Western malaise about quality of life, and a growing curiosity about economics and its relevance to these concerns, Jonathan Aldred argues that economics is not an agreed body of knowledge or an objective science.
