		<description><![CDATA[Archie Brown, emeritus professor at Oxford, has put out a lively and informative book that traces the communist movement from its intellectual origins in the Renaissance through the present day. If you were politically aware of the world in the late &#8217;80s, you&#8217;ll remember it as a time of incredible sweeping change around the world. [...]

		<description><![CDATA[After Suzannah was kind enough to respond with the name of the poet I was looking for, I went over to the library and got out Virginia Hamilton Adair&#8216;s anthology. She lived long, and pours it all out into intense little word paintings. She wasn&#8217;t afraid to address subjects like sex and death head-on, including [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Ashgate publishing is releasing a series of single-work musical analyses, and a 2007 volume showed up at the school library recently. It&#8217;s an analysis of Olivier Messiaen&#8217;s Oiseaux exotiques, and it&#8217;s full of really well-done and well thought-out musical examples. In particular I like the attached CD, which gives sample&#8217;s of Messiaen&#8217;s source material &#8212; [...]
