"The thrill of autobiography is in its "character." We hope to have introduced into our lives a life we've never met, a life of difference-that whatever we may think of this stranger, we emerge the better for hearing his or her story. Robert Klassen is a stranger I urge you to meet. He will not be a total stranger to many, for his books and ideas have introduced us to a new paradigm for the future. But just wait until you meet the author as a person. Survival is his challenge. How he does it is his gift to us." -Joe Taylor Ford, author of Zodiac Manager

As one of the few early Korean foreign students in America, the author has attempted to describe his experience in America as a foreign student, and eventually as a naturalized Asian-American in the 'Melting Pot'that is called the American society. This book is also his Personal Testimonial, which attests to the fact that the author has not ever personally experienced any blatant Racial Discrimination against him in all of his fifty-years of living in these United States, as a student and as a professional person, from Kalamazoo, Michigan to Houston, Texas, and from Walla Walla, Washington to Gaithersburg, Maryland. "Through the author's own personal story, he felt compelled to tell the world that there are many happy minority immigrants' stories, in contrast to many of the complaints and polarizing arguments about how minority groups are discriminated against and are deprived of the opportunity to improve their lot by the majority group in American society." It is true also that there exists one form or another of prejudices and discriminations in the American society. However, it is this author's conviction and experience that there are no insurmountable obstacles for minority immigrants to achieve their dreams and goals in this promised-land of ours, if one strives hard enough. It is also the belief of this author that in order to fully appreciate the opportunities and to make the most of those opportunities, one must be assimilated into American society completely and whole-heartedly without reservation. This does not mean to lose one's heritage completely, but rather to contribute to the unique qualities of each heritage to making of the 'Whole' in the true spirit of our nation, 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'.

The only ever murder to be recorded live by dozens of journalists and TV crew members, the tragic assassination of innocent Town Planner, Harry Collinson by embittered and deranged landowner, Albert Dryden, shocked a nation and led to a national media frenzy in which opinions were strongly divided about whether or not it was a case of simple murder or if more was afoot - a support group for the murderer was even formed!At last, author David Blackie, who witnessed the crime and was consulted by the police about the case as a firearms expert, tells the full story from both sides. Also included is an exhaustive interview with Albert Dryden, who is serving a life-sentence for murder in Britain's toughest jails.This is a staggering, shocking and moving book that leaves readers to draw their own conclusions about one of Britain's most famous murders.

The field of American women's writing is one characterized by innovation: scholars are discovering new authors and works, as well as new ways of historicizing this literature, rethinking contexts, categories and juxtapositions. Now, after three decades of scholarly investigation and innovation, the rich complexity and diversity of American literature written by women can be seen with a new coherence and subtlety. Dedicated to this expanding heterogeneity, The Cambridge History of American Women's Literature develops and challenges historical, cultural, theoretical, even polemical methods, all of which will advance the future study of American women writers – from Native Americans to postmodern communities, from individual careers to communities of writers and readers. This volume immerses readers in a new dialogue about the range and depth of women's literature in the United States and allows them to trace the ever-evolving shape of the field.
