In this adventure story about a group of schoolboys stranded on a deserted island, William Golding explores the dark side of humanity and the savagery that surfaces when social structure is broken down, and rules, ideals, and values are lost. Featuring an annotated bibliography, introduction by master scholar Harold Bloom, and a listing of other works by the author, this addition to the Bloom's Guides series will assist students in their analysis of the text.
This is the third book in Garry Egger's series of books, a medically-based programme endorsed by GPs. The book provides a listing of hundreds of food products broken down by "energy density", a hot topic in weight control research. Regulating the energy density of food that is consumed has begun to supersede previous medical arguments about fat or carbohydrate content as the pivotal factor in weight loss. This is a quick reference listing which can be used in conjunction with the "Becoming Gutless" or "Becoming Slim" weight loss books for men and women respectively.
