Creatures Born of War by Bruce Wm. TaneskiPosted on December 26, 2016; VVA web site under Books in Review II Bruce Wm. Taneski's Creatures Born of War: A Novel About the World Wars is a novel about World Wars I and II and the role of shell shock and battle fatigue. In the front of the book we are told that "coming soon is a novel about the conflict in Korea and Vietnam." The author's credentials are clear-he's a U.S. Army Vietnam War veteran who has experienced first-hand the trauma of war and PTSD, having served in Recon units in the 199th Light Infantry Brigade and the 5th Infantry Division. That is not in this book.In tracing, as Taneski puts it, "the PTSD experience of fictional soldiers, like Jimmy Costigan and Mike McMullen in WWI," he creates a realistic picture of young men growing up in the early 1900s. Then he shows us their children serving in World War II. This is the most exciting part of the novel due to the author's skill at showing men at war. The Bataan Death March figures prominently in this fine novel. We relive the agony of 675 American troops as they take five days to die. The AuthorI collect antiwar quotations and the one I garnered from this book is my favorite: "You know the assholes that allowed the first war to happen are the same assholes that set up the one we are in now. I think we will see more war in our lives. More young men will be sent away and come home screwed up."I couldn't have said it better.This is a massive book. It is not a Vietnam War novel, but it prepares the way for the sequel. The book shows that war-any war-is good for absolutely nothing.There it is.-David WillsonVietnam Veterans of AmericaBooks in Review II

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 -December 21, 1940) was an American Jazz Age author of novels andshort stories. He is regarded as one of the greatest twentieth centurywriters.

"The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been recognized as the first detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". Two works that share some similarities predate Poe's stories, including Das Fräulein von Scuderi (1819) by E.T.A. Hoffmann and Zadig (1747) by Voltaire. C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mystery of the brutal murder of two women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, though no one agrees on what language was spoken. At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human. Writing the first true detective in fiction, Poe's Dupin originated many literary conventions which would be used in future fictional detectives including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Many later characters, for example, follow Poe's model of the brilliant detective, his personal friend who serves as narrator, and the final revelation being presented before the reasoning that leads up to it. Dupin himself reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" and "The Purloined Letter".

Broadly speaking, the majority of books on Jacques Lacan focus on the earlier periods of his career. They also tend to target the psychoanalytic clinical community, or else discuss his work in various political, social, and cultural contexts. But in almost all cases these books refrain from a detailed exegesis of his actual texts. They instead prefer to comment on his theoretical apparatus as a whole before turning to its practical implications.Lacan and Meaning positions itself against this grain. Firstly, it closely analyzes some half-dozen key Lacanian texts. This analysis is organized under a single thematic - the question of meaning - in order to advance the reader's understanding of the trajectory of Lacan's thought across his entire career, as well as to promote the book's thesis that the field of meaning can be suspended. Accordingly, an initial chapter takes up the hermeneutical tradition from Flacius onward. This is then supplemented by a chapter which surveys phenomenological, structuralist and aesthetic theories of meaning and their differing methods of textual analysis. Together these two chapters provide a unique context for the sustained analysis of Lacan's texts which begins in the third chapter, an analysis that forms the bulk of the book's content. This contextualization potentially widens the book's appeal to any scholar wishing to explore his relationship to those textual objects he interacts with on a daily basis. And because this book assumes the reader has little to no familiarity with Lacan, the reader will find patient explanations of the basics of his theories before slowly being led up to the more difficult theories of his late years. Again the argument is that Lacan has something to offer all scholars. His work is not just reserved for psychoanalysts.It is with his late theories that the serious student of Lacan will find the book's most original contribution. For in the fourth chapter a detailed account is provided of how Lacan derived his infamous formulae of sexuation from Aristotelian logic. These formulae are then extensively discussed against the backdrop of interpretive theory and textual analysis, showing how these formulae capture much more than just the difference between the sexes. Strikingly, this difference is also found to run through meaning itself, something the final chapter aims to demonstrate. It does this by amalgamating three key components of late-Lacan: sexuation, discourse theory and his use of topological spaces. This amalgamation is a first in the literature. But this amalgamation is not just useful in demonstrating the book's thesis. It further suggests how seemingly divergent aspects of late-Lacanian theory can be made to work together.From the back cover: What is the essential nature of meaning?This book answers by examining interpretive theories from the past and present. It finds that an historical struggle with meaning has been underway since the Reformation, a struggle that reaches crisis proportions in the 20th century. On the one hand, this crisis is mollified by Heidegger's hermeneutical phenomenology, which argues that we are always already in a meaningful relationship to the objects of the world. On the other hand, this crisis is exacerbated when phenomenology, structuralism, and aesthetic theory directly make meaning into an object of study.These historical developments culminate with the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, whose non-hermeneutical phenomenology delimits a cause of meaning said to be closely linked to the core of subjectivity. Intriguingly, Lacan's work reveals meaning to be sexual in nature. By integrating his notion of sexual difference with his work in discourse theory and topology, this book demonstrates how the subject's struggle with meaning can be suspended.William J.

Stepmother came into my life when I was ten years old, like no woman I had ever seen before. When my parents had divorced, it was a very sad time for everyone, but when my father returned from Brazil with a woman in tow, sheer evil came to town.She wore long pearls and gaudy diamond earrings and tight blouses, and spoke little English, and men stared at her in a way I didn't understand. When I asked my father where he had met her, he would laugh and say, "It wasn't exactly at church." She was a woman on a mission, and that mission was to become the jewel-bedecked mistress of a beautiful, sprawling, affluent ranch, in command of a household of servants, and years later, she confided, in a sorrowful moment of review of her life, that when instead of the sprawling ranch she had envisioned, she "had nearly died" to find instead the very real little farm with the little frame house in the middle of almost nowhere, on the lonely plains of Oklahoma, and instead of servants, the hardy, bent old Nora, my grandmother. But, it was better than nothing! At least it was better than what might have been, and she spent years, the remainder of her life, attempting to wrest it from my father. At the very last of his life-sick, afraid, and with dementia, she coerced him to sign away everything he had saved for his children.She finally got what she wanted after so many years.But not for long.

Does your son stand up to pee?Does he often make a mess while peeing?Hint: Just because he stands up to pee doesn't mean he has to make a mess in the bathroom.

After all, as both research and personal experience shows, reading without comprehension is both frustrating as well as useless. *BEFORE READING, good readers tend to set goals for their reading. They note the structure, or organization of the text, and often create a mental overview or outline of the text to help them decide whether it is relevant to their goals.*DURING READING, good readers read words accurately and quickly, and simultaneously deal with the meanings of those words - as well as the meanings of the phrases and sentences into which the words are grouped. Good readers connect the meaning of one sentence to the meaning of another. If something is confusing to them, they use their background knowledge to try to clarify the meanings of words and phrases. Sometimes good readers interact with the text by asking themselves questions about its content and reflecting on its ideas. They are adept at using their background knowledge to make predictions about what might happen next and to understand ideas as they encounter them. Good readers continuously evaluate their predictions and revise them as needed.*AFTER READING, good readers often think about, or reflect on what they read. They may mentally summarize major points or events in the text, or even go to other sources to find additional information about the topic of the reading. In short, good readers are most often strategic readers. That is, they use a number of comprehension strategies to get meaning from text. Comprehension strategies are conscious plans or procedures that are under the control of a reader, who makes decisions about which strategies to use and when to use them.Read it now!
