The Annotated Waste Land with Eliot's Contemporary ProseThe Annotated Waste Land with Eliot's Contemporary Prose

Eliot's own notes to his masterpiece were described by Eliot himself, as Rainey here relates, as padding that took on a life of its own as the controversies surrounding the poem took off in the '20s. That's just one of the tidbits in this terrific edition of a modernist work that retains its power to shock, as well as a high degree of allusive difficulty.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to ScienceThe Politically Incorrect Guide to Science

"If the globe is warming, is mankind responsible, or is the sun?" Such a statement does not appear out of place in Bethell's entertaining account of how modern science is politically motivated and in desperate need of oversight.
