Par Lawrence Salander. 2022
Life and Beyond is a collaboration between the prize-winning film director Jonah L. Salander, who is responsible for the beautiful…
and profound photographs in this volume, and his father, the artist and poet Lawrence Salander. This book is the result of Jonah Salander’s habit of walking the streets of New York City , where for various reasons—including his love for the city and his profound regard and empathy for the people who live there, and as a tool for his work as a film director—he photographs those vignettes he discovers. These photographs inspired the photographer’s father Lawrence to write the accompanying poems. Lawrence Salander is also the author of Art as I See It, published by Austin Macauley in 2019.Only Eternity Is Forever
Par Richard Chamberlayne. 2022
There are many ways when sitting quietly whereby our emotions may be stirred. By pictures, static or moving, by sound,…
recorded or natural, by smell and even touch. However, the medium by which our minds have most latitude to wander is the written word. This can be in many forms but the one which arguably makes the lasting impression is poetry.Circumstances may change but the memories live on.How Not To Write Poetry

the crazy that is my mind. Love, loss and some the characters that left an impression.” BILLY BUD FRASERThe Distance
Par Azza El Wakeel. 2022
At the age of eleven, Azza El Wakeel wrote in her diary that she wished to become a poetess because…
poets are capable of expressing their deep feelings and thoughts in a wonderful style. Several years later she discovered that her simple lines could be considered poems – that the texts in her diaries are poetry! All at once, she became a poetess and writer. Through writing she discovers herself and understands her feelings; she enjoys forming new sentences, playing with words, drawing images and composing inner music between the lines. Sharing her words makes her happy and she’s pleased to leave a mark of beauty on the earth, because she believes that poetry is the most beautiful thing in the world!The Way and the Truth
Par Jayne Marilyn Johns-Davies. 2022
“It is amazing how much information we absorb and retain as we develop and experience life – often listening to…
lectures or informative television programmes. It could be attending classes of subject interest, taking exams and more. Vocabulary expands all the time and what a place technology now has. People throughout history have been so clever and talented, inventive and artistically creative. I do hope these poems, based on the Bible, will be of help and interest, and food for thought for many, many people.” – Jayne Marilyn Johns-DaviesFrozen

Par Felisa A. Smith. 2021
What can the interactions of ancient mammals and their environments tell us about the present—and the future?Classic paleontology has focused…
on the study of fossils and the reconstruction of lineages of extinct species. But as diverse fossils of animals and plants were unearthed and catalogued, it became possible to reconstruct more elaborate ecosystems, tying together plants, animals, and geology. By the second half of the twentieth century, this effort gave birth to the field of paleoecology: the study of the interactions between organisms and their environments across geologic timescales. In Mammalian Paleoecology, Felisa Smith broadly considers extinct mammals in an ecological context. Arguing that the past has much to teach us and that mammals, which display an impressive array of diverse life history and ecological characteristics, are the ideal organism through which to view the fossil record, Smith• reviews the history, major fossil-hunting figures, and fundamental principles of paleoecology, including stratigraphy, dating, and taphonomy• discusses the importance of mammal body size, how to estimate size, and what size and shape reveal about long-dead organisms• explains the structure, function, and utility of different types of mammal teeth• highlights other important methods and proxies used in modern paleoecology, including stable isotopes, ancient DNA, and paleomidden analyses• assesses nontraditional fossils• presents readers with several case studies that describe how the fossil record can help inform the scientific discussion on anthropogenic climate changeMammalian Paleoecology is an approachable overview of how we obtain information from fossils and what this information can tell us about the environments of the distant past. It will profoundly affect the way paleontologists and climatologists view the lives of ancient mammals.Until I Loved I Never Lived: A Literary Celebration of Love in All its Forms

Par Szilárd Borbély. 2013
A moving, posthumous collection of elegies and eclogues that meditate on nature, landscape, and history, by a great Hungarian poet.Szilárd…
Borbély spent his childhood in a tiny impoverished village in northeastern Hungary, where the archaic peasant world of Eastern Europe coexisted with the collectivist ideology of a new Communist state. Close to the Soviet border and far from any metropolitan center, the village was a world apart: life was harsh, monotonous, and often brutal, and the Borbélys, outsiders and &“class enemies,&” were shunned. In a Bucolic Land, Borbély&’s final, posthumously published book of poems, combines autobiography, ethnography, classical mythology, and pastoral idyll in a remarkable central poetic sequence about the starkly precarious and yet strangely numinous liminal zone of his youth. This is framed by elegies for a teacher in which the poet meditates on the nature of language and speech and on the adequacy of words to speak of and for the dead. Ottilie Mulzet&’s English translation conveys the full power of a writer of whom László Krasznahorkai has said, &“He was a poet—a great poet—who shatters us.&”The Kural: Tiruvalluvar's Tirukkural
Par Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma. 2021
A new translation of the classical Tamil masterpiece on ethics, power, and friendship, bringing Tiruvalluvar&’s poetry and philosophy to a…
new generation seeking practical wisdom and spiritual sustenanceDrawing on the poetic tradition of W. S. Merwin, Wendell Berry, and William Carlos Williams, and nurtured by 2 decades of study under Tamil scholar Dr. K. V. Ramakoti, this new translation of the Kural by Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma brings English readers closer than ever to the brilliant inner and outer music of Tiruvalluvar&’s work and ideas.Tiruvalluvar&’s Tirukkural is a masterwork of poetry and practical philosophy. On par with other world classics such as the Tao Te Ching, the Kural is a compendium of 1,330 short philosophical verses, or kurals, that together cover a wide range of personal and cosmic experience, such as—POLITICS:Harsh rule that brings idiots together—nothingBurdens the earth moreHOSPITALITY:The life that cherishes strangers each dayNever falls upon ruinFRIENDSHIP:Friendship is not a face smiling—friendshipIs a heart that smilesGREED:Those who won&’t give and enjoy—even with billionsThey have nothingAccompanying the translation is a foreword by the founder of the Institute for Sacred Activism, Andrew Harvey; an introduction by the translator and scholar Archana Venkatesan; and a &“Commentary of Notes,&” in which Pruiksma elucidates key words and shares insights from important Tamil commentaries.Rich with indelible wordplay, learning, and heart, Pruiksma&’s translation transforms the barrier of language into a bridge, bringing the fullness of Tiruvalluvar&’s poetic intensity to a new generation.Harlem Shadows: Poems
Par Claude McKay. 2022
A harbinger of the Harlem Renaissance first published in 1922, this collection of poignant, lyrical poems explores Claude McKay&’s yearning…
for his Jamaican homeland and the bitter plight of Black and African Caribbean people in America—now with an introduction by Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Jericho Brown. ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022—VultureWith pure heart, passion, and honesty, Claude McKay offers an acute reflection on the complex nature of racial identity in the Caribbean diaspora, encompassing issues such as nationalism, freedom of expression, class, gender, and sex. The collection&’s eponymous poem, &“Harlem Shadows,&” portrays the struggle of sex workers in 1920s Harlem. In &“If We Must Die,&” McKay calls for justice and retribution for Black people in the face of racist abuse. Juxtaposing the cacophony of New York City with the serene beauty of Jamaica, McKay urges us to reckon with the oppression that plagues a &“long-suffering race,&” who he argues has no home in a white man&’s world. Poems of Blackness, queerness, desire, performance, and love are infused with a radical message of resistance in this sonorous cry for universal human rights. Simultaneously a love letter to the spirit of New York City and an indictment of its harsh cruelty, Harlem Shadows is a stunning collection that remains all too relevant one hundred years after its original publication.The Evolution and Fossil Record of Parasitism: Coevolution and Paleoparasitological Techniques (Topics in Geobiology #50)
Par Kenneth De Baets, John Warren Huntley. 2021
This two-volume edited book highlights and reviews the potential of the fossil record to calibrate the origin and evolution of…
parasitism, and the techniques to understand the development of parasite-host associations and their relationships with environmental and ecological changes. The book deploys a broad and comprehensive approach, aimed at understanding the origins and developments of various parasite groups, in order to provide a wider evolutionary picture of parasitism as part of biodiversity. This is in contrast to most contributions by parasitologists in the literature that focus on circular lines of evidence, such as extrapolating from current host associations or distributions, to estimate constraints on the timing of the origin and evolution of various parasite groups. This approach is narrow and fails to provide the wider evolutionary picture of parasitism on, and as part of, biodiversity.Volume two focuses on the importance of direct host associations and host responses such as pathologies in the geological record to constrain the role of antagonistic interactions in driving the diversification and extinction of parasite-host relationships and disease. To better understand the impact on host populations, emphasis is given to arthropods, colonial metazoans, echinoderms, mollusks and vertebrates as hosts. In addition, novel techniques used to constrain interactions in deep time are discussed ranging from chemical and microscopic investigations of host remains, such as blood and coprolites, to the statistical inference of lateral transfer of transposons and host-parasite coevolutionary dynamics using molecular divergence time estimation.
