Anne of Green Gables
Following Sterling's spectacularly successful launch of its children's classic novels (240,000 books in print to date), comes a dazzling new series: " Classic Starts. The stories are abridged; the quality is complete. "Classic Starts treats the world's beloved tales (and children) with the respect they deserve--all at an incomparable price.
Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic tale, with its engaging heroine and evocative description of the Prince Edward Island landscape, never fails to delight youngsters. When Matthew Cuthbert goes to the train station to pick up the orphan he and his sister Marilla plan to adopt, he expects to meet a boy who can help on the family farm. Instead it's Anne--a talkative, dreamy, red-haired, freckle-faced 11-year-old little girl who transforms the Cuthberts' life forever and fills it with love and joy.
Gladiators
Gladiators, the second powerHouse Books monograph by photographer Eric Payson, is a gritty, graphic look at the high-powered 2001 NBA playoffs, as seen from the perspective of an at-home television viewer, shot off a wide-screen television. These pictures are about more than mere basketball--they explore our obsession with entertainment and voyeurism, expose our lust for the controlled violence and stylized pageantry of spectator sports, investigate the innate themes of racial politics and male bonding, and examine the electronic medium that transmits it all. Payson, a child of the American media, turned his living room TV screen into a virtual box seat at the Roman Colosseum to create Gladiators, a compelling examination of our riveted fixation with professional sports.

Meditations, with Distractions: Poems, 1988-1998 by James J. McAuley, ISBN 1557287007
At the center of James McAuley's new collection -- the work of over a decade since his previous book, Coming & Going, New & Selected -- is the sequence, "God's Pattern", meditations on the Stations of the Cross, an old devotional form of pilgrimage or "pattern" still practiced in rural parishes of the poet's native country, Ireland. The meditations are interrupted by several "distractions", hence the book's title. Forming a more casual sequence of sorts, from a longish work in progress, are the poems from "Hospital", a mythic institution we all have to visit some time or another, where comedy and tragedy are also frequent visitors.
Theme and treatment vary throughout the collection from somber reflection on the fate of a drunk in a cheap hotel room ("Cantata for the Feast of St. Anonymous") to the scathing Celtic-style satire, "The Gingriad". McAuley is well regarded for his experiments with traditional forms and rhythms: herein are blank-verse narratives and elegies, a Haiku sequence...

Egon Schiele
Egon Schiele was regarded by many of his contemporaries as the predestined successor to Gustav Klimt, but died before he could fulfill his promise. His fascinating but not wholly admirable character is accounted for, at least in part, by his family background and upbringing. His father Adolf worked for the Austrian State Railways, and was in charge of the important station at Tulln where his son was born in June 1890.

Television at the Crossroads by George Wedell, ISBN 0333716469
Television had, until recently, a social and cultural purpose. In Britain, the BBC, ITV and Channel 4, were committed to develop and maintain these purposes. With the enlargement of the range of choices for viewers by digital television and the provision of access to cable and satellite TV and the Internet, the role of the terrestrial television channels is being diluted. The authors examine these effects and consider what can be done to maintain the standards and quality of television at a time of unlimited competition.
