Steve Chapman is a nationally syndicated columnist known for his discerning commentary, wry humor, and optimism in the face of an ever-changing world. His newest book, Recalculating: Steve Chapman on a New Century, compiles the best of his popular twice-a-week Chicago Tribune column. It is the first such collection of his work, covering topics ranging from politics and pop culture to business and international affairs.Comprising more than 220 columns published between 2000 and 2015, Recalculating: Steve Chapman on a New Century is a fascinating compendium of Chapman's matter-of-fact opinions on everything from sports to the Iraq War. His column, which is featured in over 50 newspapers, delivers straightforward insight into current events and pressing social issues. Known for both his libertarian views and his eschewing of dogmatic ideology, Chapman's columns are simultaneously skeptical and optimistic in their shrewd examination of our world.Chapman is also a contributor to outlets such as Slate, American Spectator, Weekly Standard, Reason, and National Review. He appears regularly on TV and radio programs, including CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News, NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, as well as National Public Radio's Fresh Air, Talk of the Nation, and On Point.
Celtic Literatures in the Twentieth Century Celtic Literatures in the Twentieth Century

«The Centre for Irish and Celtic Studies at the University of Ulster hosted at Coleraine, between the 24th and 26th August 2000, a very successful and informative conference on ‘Celtic Literatures in the Twentieth Century’. The lectures and the discussions were of a high standard, and it was the intention of the organisers to edit and publish the proceedings as soon as possible thereafter. Unfortunately, due to dif culties in assembling some of the papers, this was not possible and, consequently, publication has been delayed much longer than was originally anticipated. Despite this delay, we feel that those papers which we have received merit publication at this time, not only because of their intrinsicmerits, but also because they represent the views of the authors on their respective topics at the turn of the twenty rst century and will hopefully be of value to those interested in the state of the modern Celtic literatures.»
