This is the definitive scholarly edition of Tobias Smollett’s first novel, widely regarded as one of his two masterpieces, the other being The Expedition of Humphry Clinker. Roderick Random was also, in its time, the chief rival to Henry Fielding’s comic novel Tom Jones.Surging with verbal, sexual, and martial energy, The Adventures of Roderick Random opens a window on life, love, and war in the eighteenth century. The hero battles his way from poverty and neglect to make his mark as a doctor, writer, fighter, and lover. His adventures take us across the world, from England and France to the Caribbean, Africa, and Latin America. One of the first truly global novels, it casts light on nearly every aspect of its time—imperialism, gender relations, slavery, urban life, colonial warfare, commerce, politics, the professions, high society, and the Hogarthian underworld.Complete with illustrations and comprehensive annotations, this is the first edition to include Smollett’s long-forgotten antiwar pamphlet, An Account of the Expedition against Carthagene in the West Indies, which was drawn from his own war experience and on which key sections of the novel are based. The editors also provide a detailed biographical and historical introduction, based on the most recent scholarship, mapping the novel’s enormous impact in its own time and its influence on the history of literature over the centuries since.

The Seasons of Rick Roderick explores the remarkable life of a West Texas–born philosopher who rose to fame in the early 1990s as one of America’s most beloved philosophy professors. Known for his dynamic lectures recorded by The Teaching Company, Rick Roderick captivated audiences nationwide with his wit, humor, and ability to make complex ideas accessible. Admirers included cultural icons such as George Lucas and U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch. But behind the brilliance was a man shaped by a difficult Texas childhood, struggles with anxiety and depression, and the devastating loss of a loved one during his teenage years. Roderick’s longtime friend, novelist Thomas Zigal, offers a deeply personal account of their thirty-year friendship, interwoven with excerpts from Roderick’s unfinished autobiography at the time of his death in 2002. Part biography, part memoir, The Seasons of Rick Roderick is a bittersweet portrait of a charismatic professor whose vibrant teaching style and sharp mind inspired thousands of listeners. As a volume in the TCU Press Texas Writer’s Series, this book sheds light not only on the legacy of a unique philosopher but also on the enduring power of friendship, resilience, and the pursuit of knowledge.

Sir Roderick Impey Murchison (1792–1871) was an influential Scottish geologist best known for his classification of Palaeozoic rocks into the Silurian system. After early military experience in the Peninsular War, he resigned his commission; a chance meeting with Sir Humphrey Davy led him subsequently to pursue a scientific career. The Silurian System, published in 1839, was a highly influential study, which established the oldest contemporary classification of fossil-bearing strata. Murchison was appointed President of the Royal Geographical Society in 1843. These volumes, first published in 1875, use information taken from Murchison's private journals and correspondence. Archibald Geikie (1835–1924) provides a detailed account of his mentor's life and work in the context of geology as a developing science in the early nineteenth century, and provides a fascinating insight into the life and work of this eminent Victorian geologist. Volume 1 describes Murchison's early life and geological studies until 1842.
