  Michael Pollan - The Omnivore's Dilemma
The question has confronted us since man discovered fire, but according to Michael Pollan, the bestselling author of The Botany of Desire, how we answer it today, at the dawn of the twenty-first century, may well determine our very survival as a species.
Michael Pollan addresses that fundamental question with great wit and intelligence, looking at the social, ethical, and environmental impact of four different meals.
“Michael Pollan is a voice of reason, a journalist/philosopher who forages in the overgrowth of our schizophrenic food culture.

  Michael Hamburger
A short account of Michael Hamburger's life and career - wartime service, marriage to Anne Beresford, teaching in the UK and USA, and his work as a poet, critic and translator of Celan, Enzensberger, and others.
Michael Hamburger was born on 22nd March, 1924, in Berlin.
Hamburger's indefatigable work as a translator pioneered a greater understanding of German literature in the anglophone world, and did so at an inauspicious historical moment.

 Amazon.com: The Truth of Poetry: Books: Michael Hamburger   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Michael Hamburger was born in Berlin in 1924 and came to Britain as a child in 1933.
Hamburger narrates the century-long story of poetry wrestling with itself as it tries to find new ways to make meaning, and confronts (or evades) the political, philosophical and psychological developments of modern life.
Hamburger seems to be an ardent modernist, but he doesn't let his enthusiasm blind him to modernism's failings and contradictions - indeed, they're some of things that make it so interesting.

 Hamburger
In August of 1946 when Hamburger was a young British army officer he left Italy where he was stationed for a short visit home.
Hamburger continues with a rather funny story regarding his friend John Symonds' biography on the Great Beast.
One wonders why Hamburger considered it a curse from Aleister Crowley that Symonds' book did not show signs of dry-rot instead of the source being Symonds himself, since it was his book.

 Snowed In by Michael Hamburger - Poetry Archive
The critic Stephen Romer has detected a fascinating "dividedness" in Hamburger's work, on the one hand steeped in European culture and engaged in the socio-political issues of the day, on the other a nature poet in the English tradition, absorbed in the atmosphere of his rural Suffolk home.
Meticulously observed descriptions of weather, flora and landscape (Hamburger is a keen and knowledgeable gardener) are juxtaposed with his outrage at the mono-culture of big-business capitalism.
Like a modern-day Lear, Hamburger storms at this "junk age" and the damage it's inflicting on "the maimed globe", mourning England's vanished birds or the hedgerows "slashed" to allow trucks "grown cottage-sized" to pass unhindered.

This spring geologists Michael Hamburger and John Rupp take their fourth group of students to the otherworldly landscapes of the eastern Sierra Nevada mountain chain of California for a hands-on introduction to basic geological processes.
Hamburger describes how much he enjoys that point each year when his students discover the huge basin created by the collapsed dome of the ancient volcano at the Long Valley Caldera.
The comments of Hamburger and Rupp’s grateful and effusive former students confirm that this carefully crafted, intensely challenging course is an ideal introduction to geology.

 Michael Hamburger in conversation with Peter Dale
The conversation ranges widely across Hamburger's life and work and those of some of the many other poets and artists with whom his career has 'intersected' - including Paul Celan and Hans Magnus Enzensberger, R.B. Kitaj (one of his portrait studies of Hamburger is reproduced) and Lucian Freud.
A long quotation, but one that well illustrates Hamburger's attitudes, and the forcefulness with which he expresses them (he is splendidly forthright on his dealings with a whole series of British publishers).
Hamburger is fascinating on music and his interest in it, as well as on the visual arts.

 Unrecounted - W.G.Sebald
The eyes are generally well-known (and often literary): they belong to Borges, Javier Marías, Beckett, Proust, Rembrandt, Francis Bacon, translator Michael Hamburger, the Sebalds (including their dog), and others, and make for a striking gallery of gazes.
Hamburger's introduction, in particular, is useful, offering some (if not enough) personal background, as well as addressing some of the translation issues this volume posed.
The interpretive essays by Sebald and Köhler are also of some interest, but other information about Sebald and Tripp (Tripp was "Sebald's oldest friend, ever since their schooldays", Hamburger mentions) would also have been welcome.

 Holderlin: Selected Poems and Fragments - Friedrich Holderlin - Penguin Classics
Although he was scarcely known to his contemporaries and became deeply unstable in the latter part of his life, when he lived in virtual seclusion, he produced, writes Michael Hamburger, a poetic work 'rich in potentialities and possiblities for the "future ages" in which he placed his hope'.
Hölderlin first found his true voice in the epigrams and odes he wrote when transfigured by his love for Susette Gontard, the wife of a rich banker to whose children he was tutor.
Throughout his career, he struggled desperately to reconcile his faith in the power of nature, as embodied in the gods of ancient Greece, with conventional Christianity.

 village voice > books > Poems of Paul Celan, translated by Michael Hamburger by Joshua Clover
Hamburger's manner is fairly neutral, even flat, particularly compared to the little-r romanticism of Felstiner and the virtuosic gaming of the recent McHugh and Popov translations.
Hamburger, indeed, chooses not to include poems written before Celan's first book, such as the relatively open poem for his mother called "Black Flakes." In return, he fits in more work from the '60s, each one a dark symbolist dream with any explanatory blah-blah etched away.
They are cold and distant like a star is cold and distant; often untitled and a spare 20 or 30 words, their compression is paralleled by no one this side of Emily Dickinson.

 Hamburger Hill (1987)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Many excellent Vietnam films, in an attempt to present their own interpretation of America's darkest hour, ask many political questions vital to the war: "What were we fighting for?" "Was this worth it?" "When does morality take over?" "When does the fighting stop?"
On the other hand, "Hamburger Hill" doesn't need to state any such questions.
Rather, it presents the viewer with the scenario-- a group of men trying to advance on a hill-- and allows him to come to his own conclusions.
