The works of C.S. Lewis have a wide appeal to a variety of audiences. Lewis is probably most famous for the best-selling The Chronicles of Narnia, although William Nicholson's Shadowlands will have led many readers to Lewis's own account of his tragic bereavement in A Grief Observed. However, Shadowlands represents only a small part of Lewis's controversial life, and omits much that is crucial to an understanding of this fascinating, and in some ways tormented, personality. Lewis enjoyed (to the chagrin of his academic colleagues) a tremendous success as a popular theologian. He was also a successful science fiction writer. And last, but by no means least, he was a brilliant and original academic in the field of English Studies. This book weaves together the very different elements in the complex phenomenon of C.S Lewis, and relates the central concerns of Lewis's life and work to current thinking about postmodernism, psychoanalysis and the idea of 'a new Humanism'.

From the authors: In this book are pictures of the actual ware, i.e. yellow ware, Rock- ingham, stoneware, ironstone, majolica, semi-porcelain, semi-granite, semi-vitreous, parian, porce- lain, bone china and beleek, manufactured in the East Liverpool area from approximately 1838 tothe 1970's. East Liverpool was truly the Pottery Capital of the United States. More Rockingham and yellow ware was produced here than in any other singular site in the country. The variety and quan- tity of other early wares is still amazing today. James Bennett began an industry the area can still be proud of. By the 1970's, because of competition and the use of aluminum, glass and plastics, the only potteries left on the west side of the Ohio River were Hall China Company, Sterling China Com- pany and a modern Pioneer Pottery Company making mugs and China Specialties products in East Liverpool. This book covers what was made on the west side of the Ohio River. It does not cover the West Virginia potteries right across the river for the simple reason that there have been several books written about those potteries. Therefore, only what Homer Laughlin and Harker potteries made in East Liverpool is shown.Our hope is that the reader will be captivated by the plethora of wares, shapes and decoration of items manufactured in East Liverpool and Wellsville, Ohio. The imagination, artistic design, mold work, serviceability, and sheer beauty of the predominantly everyday ceramic items is astounding. East Liverpool wares could and did compete successfully with the Trenton, New Jersey and early English wares. Clever faux British marks were conceived by the East Liverpool potters to convince American housewives that the ware was the much coveted English ware. Often sellers on Ebay are still fooled.

I, William Gray, seeing I could write poetry and pros, determined this gift was of God, my savior Jesus Christ. I deemed it necessary that I would write for the glory to God for allowing me this opportunity to be in a position to share with others, the love of God; also to warn people that there are consequences to choices we make in life. Now a devout Christian and member of New Creation Cathedral Church, under the leadership of Bishop Anthony Mosley, who have been very supportive of this book compiled with testimonies and inspiration. It is my intent to inspire others that it's time to take a "Closer walk with Thee." My goal is also to encourage hearts and minds that there is hope and that hope is in Jesus the Christ. To the readers, "I encourage you to get up close and personal with the Savior."

More than most writers, Robert Louis Stevenson requires a Literary Life. Fascination with Stevenson's life (the 'Stevenson biography' is almost a minor genre) has tended to eclipse his literary achievement.
