To this reader, poems and essays of DHL are his best works.
This book of poems shares the top spot in my bookcase with Whitman's "Leaves of Grass". They are accessible, highly perceptive, pertinent and intensely personal. My favorites are: "FIDELITY" - "...The wonderful slow flow of the sapphire..." "GOD IS BORN" - "...And so we see, God is not until he is born. And also we see ...

Touched by genius...
D.H. Lawrence was a guy that came out of the womb knowing how to write. You read his prose and his innate genius quickly becomes self-evident--this is an artist for whom the creative act of literature is akin to a Mozart symphony--airtight, beautiful, logical, NATURAL. Floooooowing. Compare Lawrence with someone like Wallace Stegner--the latter being a writer with a fair amount of talent and a ...

classic study of relationships
D.H. Lawrence is not for the faint hearted, or anyone with a short attention span. Women in Love would perhaps be better title Women and Men in Love, as Gerald and Birkin play equally important roles as Gudren and Ursula. Those looking for mere titillation will be sorely disappointed, however, as the sexual charged moments are primarily portrayed through internal thoughts and emotions - ...

the best around
I used to swear by Netter's atlas. This took my breath away with the refined muscle force diagrams. I had to have it.

The whole world is a small town
The whole world is a small town is a sicilian phrase that means no matter where you travel, people will be basically the same. Reading this work by G. Verga gave this saying a whole new meaning for me. I learned that people in Sicily are basically the same today as they were 120 years ago. Giovanni Verga was born and lived in a small town in Sicily called Vizzini. This is the same town that ...

Sons and Lovers: D.H. Lawrence's Unforgettable tale of life in a Nottingham miner's home
DH Lawrence was born in Nottingham, England in 1885. He died at age 44 in Vence, France in 1930. In between those birth and death dates he created great fiction. His first big book and, probably, still his greatest is "Sons and Lovers." The novel is highly autobiographical. Walter Morel is a crude, hard drinking miner who has no intellectual interests. He weds the etheral and lovely Gertrude. ...

the THIEME Atlas of Anatomy series is AMAZING!
This Thieme series has opened a new era! By far, this is the best atlas series available and as a medical student, I would recommend the three atlases to anyone who studies in the field of anatomy. Trust me, this is THE book you keep for life!

Man Alive Blood Alive is the key
THE RAINBOW is the story of three generations of the Brangwen family. Beginning with the first, D. H. Lawrence shows the intricacies of human relations that frequently have no more going for them than just good looks or sexual passion. It seemed inexplicable to Lawrence that as many relations worked out as they did. His concern was in finding the rationale for the successes, and in THE RAINBOW ...

Trust the teller along with the tale
This is a small book yet Lawrence's genius enables him to see big things in it, especially about those large writers like Melville he felt an affinity to. "Trust the tale and not the teller" is one of his motto's here and he tries to show how the great works go beyond the intentions of their creators. One objection. He is especially hard on Franklin who he makes into a priggish, petty prune of ...

One long poetic journal
Lawrence's poems have never been among my favorites. I think one reason is that they have been so flowing and evanescent, have not come to some critical point in great memorable lines. They are spontaneous outpourings and make a record of his inner life and struggle. And in this inner life he feels into nature and makes the things of this world, animals, trees, plants feel his feelings and ...

Springer

This richly illustrated book describes the use of interactive and dynamic graphics as part of multidimensional data analysis. Chapters include clustering, supervised classification, and working with missing values. A variety of plots and interaction methods are used in each analysis, often starting with brushing linked low-dimensional views and working up to manual manipulation of tours of several variables. The role of graphical methods is ...

Selected Stories by D.H. Lawrence is an excellent collection of the author's best tales
D.H Lawrence (1885-1930) won fame for his novels such as "Sons and Lovers", "The Rainbow,"; "Women in Love," and Lady Chatterly's Lover" among others. He is also an excellent teller of tales as these sixteen stories exhibit. The stories are: 1. Love Among the Haystacks-Two brothers fight and love as they work among the haystacks of their family farm near Nottingham. Lawrence does well in his use ...

Over the Alps with a stolen German girlfriend...
If i were to read only two travel books then this would be the second one, although both my wife and an English friend read it in German translation and reported that it was terrible. Maybe it doesn't translate well. Lawrence, as young man, describes a thread running through his life as he starts the journey by heading south toward Italy on foot from Bavaria with Frida, a way of travel that many ...

Longing For Love
In this book, Lawrence is in usual top form in describing the longing of a young girl, a virgin, for the slightly unconventional. Her vision of her future being a stayed and commonplace marriage to one of the local boys of character and money, she longs for something else before that fate befalls her. She does find that love, very much by accident. She comes across a Gypsy and she falls ...

Liveliness of Thought and Feeling.
Lawrence wrote nearly 1,000 poems during a short lifetime in which he was also astonishingly prolific in other spheres--fiction, travel writing, essays, criticism, letters and plays. Lawrence was not simply a novelist who dabbled in other forms. His characteristic vision informed everything he wrote, especially his poetry. At three important phases of his life it became the primary channel of ...

Doin' it "The Italian Way"...
Lady Chatterley's Lover is not a great book. Lawrence may be a great writer, but this effort is too inconsistent and...ramshackle...in parts to qualify as great literature. In fact, I think it's pretty clear that the notoriety over the frank depiction of sex is why we're still talking about this book eighty years on. Lawrence predates Henry Miller in his usage of some of the most taboo English ...
