The Lodger Shakespeare: His Life on Silver Street, by Charles Nicholl

“(Charles) Nicholl has, in fact, been publishing books about aspects of the Renaissance for most of his literary career. They range from the youthful and technical The Chemical Theatre — about the use of alchemical lore in Elizabethan drama — to his recent Leonardo da Vinci: Flights of the Mind. He’s written about the search for El Dorado and, in a departure, about the African adventures of the poet-turned-gunrunner Arthur Rimbaud. Still, Nicholl remains best known as the author of The Reckoning, a thrilling re-creation of the life, world and death of Christopher Marlowe. As in the Marlowe book, The Lodger Shakespeare enhances our sense of a great dramatist’s work and world by looking at the people around him.” Read the review at the Washington Post.

An interview with Steve LeVine, author of The Oil and the Glory

"Big Oil is dying . . . The jury is out on whether the average consumer will be affected. The oil companies say with some justification that the state-owned companies don’t produce oil and natural gas as well as they – Big Oil – can. They say that means less and less supply – or at least not as much supply as might be expected – from these countries in the coming years. That’s important, especially since tight global supplies are one reason for $95-a-barrel oil right now." [ Read the rest of the interview ]
