A Turkish Triangle
..http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/SARTUR.html..
Ankara, Istanbul, and Izmir at the Gates of Europe
Edited by Hashim Sarkis
Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir have been the major poles of growth and development in Turkey since the Republic was formed, although these three cities have followed very different paths. Through a series of three case studies and an introduction by Turkey's most renowned urban historian and theorist, Ilhan Tekeli, the book studies the rise of these three main urban centers in Turkey and their roles in organizing the territory and its future reorganization.

Ian Jenkins
From Athens and Arcadia on one side of the Aegean Sea and from Ionia, Lycia, and Karia on the other, this book brings together some of the great monuments of classical antiquity--among them two of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the later temple of Artemis at Ephesos and the Mausoleum at Halikarnassos.

Rome from the Ground Up
..http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/MCGROM.html..
James H. S. McGregor
Rome is not one city but many, each with its own history unfolding from a different center. Beginning with the very shaping of the ground on which Rome first rose, this book conjures all these cities, past and present, conducting the reader through time and space to the complex and shifting realities--architectural, historical, political, and social--that constitute Rome.

Venice from the Ground Up
..http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/MCGVEN.html..
James H. S. McGregor
Venice came to life on mudflats at the edge of the habitable world. Protected in a tidal estuary from invaders and Byzantine overlords, the fishermen and traders who settled there crafted a way of life unlike anything the Roman Empire had ever known. In an astonishing feat of narrative history, James H. S. McGregor recreates this world, with its waterways rather than roads and its livelihood harvested from the sea. The narrative follows both a chronological and geographical organization, so that readers can trace the city's evolution by chapter and visitors can explore it by district on foot and by boat.

Oleg Grabar
This book tells the story of the Dome of the Rock, from the first fateful decades of its creation to its modern acquisition of different and potent meanings for Muslim, Christian, and Jewish cultures. Primarily it is as a work of art that the Dome of the Rock stands out from these pages, understood for the quality that allows it to transcend the constrictions of period and perhaps even those of faith and culture.

Washington from the Ground Up
..http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/MCGWAS.html..
James H. S. McGregor
At the confluence of the Potomac and Anacostia rivers, President Washington chose a diamond-shaped site for the city that would bear his name, along with the burdens and blessings of democracy. Moving chronologically and geographically throughout the District, McGregor tells a tale of two cities: official Washington, whose stately neoclassical buildings expressed the government's power and global reach; and DC, whose minority communities, especially African Americans, lived in the shadows of poverty.

Edited by Darell Fields
Edited by Brooke Hodge
Photographs by Paul Hester
"My proximity to this path's every turn puts me much too close for objective appraisal, yet this position offers an auspicious vantage point from which to reflect on the implications of architecture in one's life. I now gather some observations, memories, and moments, all of which emerge through one biographical detail or another--an inevitable outcome when writing on such a personal work, a work that by its evolving nature is both my first and my most recent project."--from an essay by Carlos Jimenez.

A House in the City
Edited by Brooke Hodge
Photographs by Andrew Bush
From an interview with Enrique Norten by Brigitte Shim: "What I was looking for with this house was probably a return to the main principles of modernism. I was trying to look for the very basics of architecture: a simple structure, simple construction methods, and straightforward spatial conditions that would satisfy the needs of our family. The house was a laboratory where I was looking back to where the tradition of modernity started, and I tried to recapture that."

Print Literacy Development
..http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/PURPRI.html..
Uniting Cognitive and Social Practice Theories
Victoria Purcell-Gates
Erik Jacobson
Sophie Degener
Is literacy a social and cultural practice, or a set of cognitive skills to be learned and applied? Literacy researchers, who have differed sharply on this question, will welcome this book, which is the first to address the critical divide. The authors lucidly explain how we develop our abilities to read and write and offer a unified theory of literacy development that places cognitive development within a sociocultural context of literacy practices.

Born in Flames
..http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/HAMBOR.html..
Termite Dreams, Dialectical Fairy Tales, and Pop Apocalypses
Howard Hampton
Twenty years as an outsider scouring the underbelly of American culture has made Howard Hampton a uniquely hardnosed guide to the heart of pop darkness. Bridging the fatalistic, intensely charged space between Apocalypse Now Redux and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," his writing breaks down barriers of ignorance and arrogance that have segregated art forms from each other and from the world at large. Born in Flames is a headlong plunge into the passions and disruptive power of art.

Philip Davis professor of English literature at Liverpool University, author of

It is probably because when I was a young beginner, trying to write about literature, I did not feel encouraged or appreciated. Those were days of high theory in literary studies: it was naïve to be interested in realism, in emotion, in the human content of literature as I was. “Nobody came,” says Thomas Hardy of the plight of his own young idealist, “because nobody does.” (more…)

I hope you all got a chance to read The Ambassadors this month. To start off our conversation about Henry James’s self-proclaimed masterpiece I thought we would look at the opening paragraph. If you were to look at this paragraph with fresh eyes, without the knowledge of what lies ahead in the book, how much would you understand? Why do you think James started the book in this fashion? I’ve excerpted the opening paragraph below in case you don’t have your book handy.

Philip Davis professor of English literature at Liverpool University, author of Bernard Malamud: A Writer’s Life , and editor of The Reader is back with another fascinating blog post. This post originally appeared on Moreover .
It was 30 years ago in the bookish front-room of a house off the Chesterton Road in Cambridge, England.
It was the home of Muriel Bradbrook , a Shakespearian scholar, and I was the most junior lunch guest, literally sitting in the corner on a stool, chewing and chewing away on a piece of home-made liver-pate, with muscle. (In the end I found a flower pot, or else I might still be there, chewing and chewing.) I was among some of Cambridge’s finest golden-oldies of the literary-critical world. (more…)

In the beginning dogs, it is written, were the first creatures domesticated by human beings. And when the humans saw the difference between themselves and the dogs, they knew more about what being human meant. (This is the true Gospel of Otherness.) Then the humans, being more than their dogs, began to domesticate other animals, to lie amongst them. And so in time what became pastoral agriculture was born. (more…)

Below Philip Davis, author of Bernard Malamud: A Writer’s Life , combines science with literature to convince us to read out loud more often. To read his other blog posts click here . This piece first appeared in

I have just launched a new M.A. course in bibliotherapy—by which I mean to ask, What help can reading provide for people? But I am not allowed to call the course “M.A. in bibliotherapy” because some of scientists at my university were not too keen on the word, accepted though it is in the States. I think they confused it with aromatherapy, when in the great words of the poet Gray, on the neglect of lowly human worth:
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen
And waste its sweetness on the desert air. (more…)

I simply cannot encourage you enough to read Philip Davis’s blog series on
Moreover . I love it. Davis, the author of
Bernard Malamud: A Writer’s Life , also seems to be a born blogger. Below is part three of his blog series , which originally appeared in here .
I thought I would get braver as I got older but (aged 54), not so. I remember the poet Joseph Brodsky saying to me, near the end of his life, “I used to be one of the Strong”—it was across a drink in a Liverpool bar—”but not now.”

- ..[CDATA[
Today is Rosh Hashanah , the Jewish New Year. Each year, on Rosh Hashanah mankind is judged and entered into the “ book of life ,” but the judgment is not final. We have ten days of atonement before Yom Kippur when the judgment is sealed. Below is a myth about atonement from
The Tree of Souls: The Mythology of Judaism by Howard Schwartz. Perhaps the example of Rabbi Abraham will inspire you. To read last year’s excerpt from
The Tree of Souls click here .
A Vision at the Wailing Wall
In those days Rabbi Abraham Berukhim was known for performing the Midnight Vigil. He rose every night at midnight and walked through the streets of Safed, crying out, “Arise, for the Shekhinah is in exile, and our holy house is devoured by fire, and Israel faces great danger.†He longed, more than anything else, to bring the Shekhinah out of exile.
Now Rabbi Abraham was a follower of Rabbi Isaac Luria, known as the Ari. The Ari had great mystical powers. By looking at a man’s forehead he could read the history of his soul. He could overhear the angels and he knew the language of the birds. He could point out a stone in a wall and reveal whose soul was trapped in it. So too was he able to divine the future, and he always knew from the first day of Rosh ha-Shanah who among his disciples was destined to live or die. This knowledge he rarely disclosed, but once, when he learned there was a way to avert the decree, he made an exception. Summoning Rabbi Abraham Berukhim, he said: “Know, Rabbi Abraham, that a heavenly voice has gone forth to announce that this will be your last year among us—unless you do what is necessary to change the decree.†(more…)

- ..[CDATA[ Philip Davis's second blog.

- ..[CDATA[
Yesterday we posted Philip Davis’s first post for Moreover and today we are happy to post number two. Davis, the author of
Bernard Malamud: A Writer’s Life is a natural blogger so be sure to keep checking back for more of his insights.
This post first appeared in Moreover .
In Joseph Hellers novel, “Good As Gold”, Gold the youthful protagonist and his hapless friend each decide to send their poems to the New Yorker magazine. If I remember rightly, Gold submits 6 poems and, a month later, learns that he has got 2 published and 4 returned as rejected. Not a bad result.
But poor talentless Levinson, as I’ll call him, is much more ambitious. He decides that he will submit 12 poems. He then has to wait twice as long as Gold. And when finally he does hear back, two months later, Levinson has got none published—and, for his pains, 16 returned. (more…)
