Batsford Ltd How to See Nature
A beautifully lyrical collection of essays on the natural world in Britain by the Guardian's country diary writer Paul Evans. With a title taken from the 1940 Batsford book, this is nature writing for the modern reader. It is a book both for those that live in the country and those that don't, but experience nature every day through brownfield edge lands, transport corridors, urban greenspace, industrialised agriculture and fragments of ancient countryside. Evans weaves historical, cultural and literary references into his writing, ranging from TS Eliot to Bridget Riley, from Hieronymus Bosch to Napoleon. The essays include the The Weedling Wild, on the wildlife of the wasteland: ragwort, rosebay willowherb, giant hogweed and the cinnabar moth; Gardens of Light, about the creatures to be found under moonlight: pipistrelle bats, lacewings and orb-weaver spider; The Flow, with tales from the riverbank, estuaries and seas, including kingfisher, minnow, otter and heron. The Commons looks at meadowland with a human footprint, with the Adonis blue butterfly, horseshoe vetch, skylark, black knapweed and the six-belted clearwing moth. Other chapters look at the wildlife returned to Britain, such as wild boar and polecats, and finds nature in and around landscapes as varied as a domestic garden or a wild moor. The book ends with an alphabetical bestiary, an idiosyncratic selection of British wildlife based on the author's personal encounters.

Sansom & Co Stanley Spencer: Journey to Burghclere
Stanley Spencer was one of Britain's greatest twentieth-century artists. He became famous for two things: his celebration and immortalisation of his home town of Cookham in Berkshire - his 'heaven on earth' as he lovingly called it - and the fusion in his paintings of sex and religion, the heavenly and the ordinary. In 1915, Spencer left home to serve as a medical orderly in the Beaufort Military Hospital in Bristol. Aged 24, he had rarely stayed away overnight from home. For ten months, he scrubbed floors, bandaged convalescent soldiers and carried supplies around the vast, former lunatic asylum. In 1916, he signed up for overseas duty in Macedonia, where he saw violent action up to the eve of the Armistice. Five years after the war, Spencer started making large drawings of a possible memorial scheme based on his wartime experiences. So extraordinary were his sketches, and so committed was he to realising them in paint, that the Behrend family became his patrons, funding a purpose-built memorial chapel at Burghclere, near Newbury. For five years, he toiled, often on top of a giant scaffold, to produce the painted chapel now regarded as his masterpiece - one of the unsung artistic glories of Europe. Drawing on Spencer's own letters, illustrations and paintings, Paul Gough tells the story of the artist's journey from cosseted family life, through the drudgery of a war hospital and the malarial battlefields of a forgotten front, to his unique vision of peace and resurrection in Burghclere. The book locates Spencer's work alongside other soldier-artists of the time.

Amberley Publishing The Hoppers: Limestone Traffic
Since the 1860s trains have conveyed crushed limestone from Derbyshire to the soda ash and chemicals works in mid-Cheshire. By the 1930s a new higher capacity design of wagon was needed, and so the ‘Hoppers’ were built by Charles Roberts for Imperial Chemical Industries. The fleet of 152 bogie hopper wagons became instantly recognisable to railway enthusiasts. For just over sixty-one years between 1936 and the end of 1997 the wagons worked almost every day of the year, running several times per day. Modern wagons took over the duties from 1998 and the traffic still runs around six times per week, feeding the sole remaining soda ash plant. Many companies and locomotive classes and types have hauled these services since 1936 including the LMS, BR, Transrail, EWS, Freightliner Heavy Haul and now DB Cargo. The locomotives used include steam classes 4F, 8F and 9F; and diesel-electric classes 25, 37, 60 and 66.

Faber & Faber The New York Trilogy
'One of the great American prose stylists of our time.' New York Times'Auster really does possess the wand of the enchanter.' New York Review of BooksThe New York Trilogy is perhaps the most astonishing work by one of America's most consistently astonishing writers. The Trilogy is three cleverly interconnected novels that exploit the elements of standard detective fiction and achieve a new genre that is all the more gripping for its starkness. It is a riveting work of detective fiction worthy of Raymond Chandler, and at the same time a profound and unsettling existentialist enquiry in the tradition of Kafka or Borges. In each story the search for clues leads to remarkable coincidences in the universe as the simple act of trailing a man ultimately becomes a startling investigation of what it means to be human. The New York Trilogy is the modern novel at its finest: a truly bold and arresting work of fiction with something to transfix and astound every reader.'Marks a new departure for the American novel.' Observer'A shatteringly clever piece of work . . . Utterly gripping, written with an acid sharpness that leaves an indelible dent in the back of the mind.' Sunday Telegraph

Visor libros, S.L. Cármenes
PARA Paul Valéry (1871-1945), la poesía es la más hermosa de las técnicas creativas y la más difícil de todas las artes, y un poema no es un verdadero poema si no es bello. Tras publicar su obra cumbre en poesía, Cármenes ?en latín, carmina significa ?poemas?, ?cantos?, pero también ?encantamientos?, ?sortilegios?; popularmente, ?cantos mágicos??, a pesar de ser aclamado por parte de la crítica y convertirse en el príncipe de los poetas franceses, de renombre mundial, Valéry abandonó la poesía para dedicarse por completo al ensayo, las matemáticas y la pintura.Los hechiceros versos de Cármenes, sus veintiún ?ejercicios? mágicos ?uno de ellos, El Cementerio marino, obra máxima de la poesía ?pura??, fueron compuestos en un estado de agudo virtuosismo, entre un mundo palpable, visible, y un reino de abstracción intelectual. Inescrutable, misterioso, puro Valéry en la más absoluta conciencia de sí mismo.

Editorial Trotta, S.A. Poemas y prosas de juventud
La obra de juventud de Paul Celan se ha conocido hasta ahora sólo fragmentariamente a partir de publicaciones dispersas. Este período de creación se divide en tres diferentes momentos: el primero, lo que Celan llamará más tarde país natal, la Bucovina; luego, la estancia, entre 1945 y 1947, en la capital rumana, Bucarest, donde se ganaba la vida como traductor del ruso al rumano y publicó sus primeros poemas bajo el nombre de Celan, incluidos los textos rumanos y los poemas que todavía en 1952 iniciaban Amapola y memoria; y, por fin, Viena, que fue una estación de paso y que Celan abandonó en julio de 1948 con destino a París.La presente edición documenta el comienzo del trabajo poético de Celan con la mayor exhaustividad posible y lo hace disponible en su conjunto para la comprensión de la obra posterior. Reúne por vez primera todos los poemas escritos antes del traslado a París así como los textos de prosa de Celan de ese período; comprende así unos diez años aproximadamente, desd

La represión durante la guerra y en la inmediata posguerra contada por el más prestigioso hispanista de la actualidad.Durante la Guerra Civil española, cerca de 200.000 hombres y mujeres fueron asesinados lejos del frente, ejecutados extrajudicialmente o tras precarios procesos legales, y al menos 300.000 hombres perdieron la vida en los frentes de batalla. Además, un número desconocido de hombres, mujeres y niños fueron víctimas de los bombardeos y los éxodos que siguieron a la ocupación del territorio por parte de las fuerzas militares de Franco. En el conjunto de España, tras la victoria definitiva de los rebeldes a finales de marzo de 1939, alrededor de 20.000 republicanos fueron ejecutados. Muchos más murieron de hambre y enfermedades en las prisiones y los campos de concentración donde se hacinaban en condiciones infrahumanas. Otros sucumbieron a las condiciones esclavistas de los batallones de trabajo. A más de medio millón de refugiados no les quedó otra salida que el

La Espaa que pudo ser 18851931 Spanish Edition
Considerar a la España que no pudo ser, explicar por qué no tuvo lugar desde principios del siglo xx una evolución hacia la democracia para superar el colapso del sistema político, obliga a entender en qué y por qué se gastó el tiempo perdido. Aunque la historia es una construcción y no puede menoscabarse su parte imaginativa, lejos tanto de las grandes síntesis como de las minucias de la memoria simbólica, las consecuencias de la vuelta tardía de España a Europa, tras haberse resignado a abandonar un destino atlántico y a cruzar simbólicamente la frontera del Sur para acceder a la civilización industrial, son complejas.
