Shakespeare wrote more plays about Italy than any other place in his own world. In this memoir, author John Glavin returns to Italy after decades away to teach Shakespeare's Italian plays to contemporary American students. As Glavin notes, "There's Italy, and there's Shakespeare, and there's the Villa. The Villa gets you to a place where you can see yourself in a way that you couldn't if you didn't have Shakespeare as the optic." In the process they all come to understand themselves and their own lives in deep and revealing ways.
Glavin is trying to come to terms with his wife's recent battle with cancer, only to discover that one of his Italian relations has been kidnapped and murdered by the mafia. Suddenly the betrayals of Merchant of Venice and the murders of Othello are no longer matters of the past. At the same time his students, who only want a Shakespeare relevant to themselves, learn that they may gain more by making themselves relevant to Shakespeare.
Written primarily as a first-person travel diary, The New Good is divided into three roughly equal parts from September to November. The entries vary, but Mondays and Wednesdays always focus on the two class meetings. Mondays generally discuss the Shakespeare play under scrutiny. Wednesdays cover the students' usually comic but sometimes quite moving attempts to perform short scenes or speeches from that play. By no means limited to its academic background, The New Good often travels beyond Fiesole, including the author's reluctant investigation-at his cousin's request-into her young son's suspicious "suicide."
This is a book for anyone who loves literature, or who loves Italy. But it is also a book for any reader who is alert to, and alarmed by, one of the pressing issues of our time. As a writer for The New York Times put it recently "What's the point of college?" Everywhere you turn, you see books that ask this question in academic and theoretical ways. They have titles like Is College Worth It or College Unbound, or College: What It Was, Is, and Should Be. There are even articles like Verlyn Klinkenborg's elegiac "The Decline and Fall of the English Major." This book responds to that crisis and these questions, not with theory or data, but with experience. Through their Tuscan autumn the Villa students discover, and their often bewildered instructor re-discovers, the purpose of literature for English majors and everyone else who reads: to help us as individuals to recognize, tolerate and, where possible, relieve our species' troubling --and winning-- imperfections. No one who reads The New Good will finish it with any lingering doubt whether College is indeed worth it.
Frozen in Time: Hunting Meteorites in Antarctica for Signs of Life is the coming of age story of now world-renowned astrobiologist Dr. Daniel "Danny" Glavin who spent six weeks as a meteorite hunter in Antarctica as a member of the 2002-2003 Antarctic Search for Meteorites Team. The twelve-member ANSMET team recovered near record numbers of meteories during their season.
While risking his life to survive the extreme, isolated and relentless Antarctic enviornment on a daily basis, doggedly searching for meteorites, Glavin also battled his own inner demons and searched his soul. He discovered himself and, in a surprising twist, what he truly wanted to do with his life.
The authors make the science come alive in an easily understandable and enjoyable way. The meteorites themselves as well as the science become likeable and relatable characters with story arcs through clear, honest and often humorous writing.
Frozen in Time is a modern, true adventure story that homes in on what is most important in surviving not only Antarctica, but life itself.

Описание: Maeve Maguire, single mother of a teenage daughter, works as the Senior Nurse in a Dublin Home for the Elderly. Grieving over her father's recent death, she begins to keep a notebook at the prompting of her sagacious counsellor Sister na, who suggests she write down memories of her Boston childhood, along with whatever else. Reluctantly Maeve begins to bring the past to life, recording memories of growing up in an apartment building on the Boston Common where her Mayo father James worked as Superintendent. Gradually from her notebook entries there emerges another, more subterranean, sorrow-that of the death of her emotionally complex mother Rose, thirteen years before. What's more, Maeve also confronts a handful of other home truths therein: regarding love, single motherhood, and the demanding, if at times comic, challenges of her nursing day-job. A canny, captivating, humorous portrayal of a Boston-Irish woman's struggle to find her feet, love, and a quotient of tranquillity in 1980s dirty ol' Dublin.
