|  | Hugh Casson's Oxford by Hugh Casson
Oxford Sir the writer and Hugh Casson, artist, writer and award-winning architect, remains, despite its well-documented fame, a city of secret places and continual surprise. In this charming book Sir Hugh records -- in words and pictures -- his very personal impressions of Oxford. Here you will find not only the famous secluded quadrangles, silent libraries and pinnacled chapels that compose each college but also their less familiar architectural features. So evocative and keenly observed are these watercolours and so enjoyable the witty and informative texts accompanying them that every visitor (even those who believe they know Oxford well) will be prompted to look at this city afresh and new pleasure in so doing.

 | Matter of Interpretation by Amy Gutmann, Antonin Scalia
An examination of contemporary issues in jurisprudence and legislation, by one of the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. Scalia takes sharp issue with many of the prevailing legal theories of our day and holds to a strict principle of originalism, according to which modern court judgements should avail themselves not only of a law's wording and apparent intent, but of the founders' original purpose in drafting it.
