Book Description
Jessica Fisher s Frail-Craft is winner of the 2006 Yale Series of Younger Poets competition and judge Louise Glèuck s fourth selection for the series. The book and the dream are the poet s primary objects of investigation here. Through deft, quietly authoritative lyrics, Fisher meditates on the problems and possibilities the frail craft of perception for the reader, the dreamer, maintaining that if the eye can love and it can, it does then I held you and was held. In her foreword to the book, Louise Glèuck writes that Fisher s poetry is haunting, elusive, luminous, its greatest mystery how plain-spoken it is. Sensory impressions, which usually serve as emblems of or connections to emotion, seem suddenly in this work a language of mind, their function neither metonymic nor dramatic. They are like the dye with which a scientist injects his specimen, to track some response or behavior. Fisher uses the sense this way, to observe how being is converted into thinking.

Lloyd’s Register Staff Association Transactions 1947-1948
Author: Lloyd's Register Foundation
Publisher: Lloyd's Register
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
The Lloyd’s Register Technical Association (LRTA) was established in 1920 with the primary objective of sharing technical expertise and knowledge within Lloyd’s Register. Publications have consistently been released on a yearly basis, with a brief interruption between 1938 and 1946. These publications serve as a key reference point for best practices and were initially reserved for internal use to maximise LR’s competitive advantage. Today, the LRTA takes a fresh approach, focusing on collaboration by combining professional expertise from across LRF & Group to ensure a frequent output of fresh perspectives and relevant content. The LRTA has evolved into a Group-wide initiative that identifies, captures, and shares knowledge spanning various business streams and functions. To support this modern approach, the LRTA has adopted a new structure featuring representatives and senior governance across the business streams and the LR Foundation. The Lloyd's Register Technical Association Papers should be seen as historical documents representing earlier viewpoints and are not reflective of current thinking and perspectives by the current LR Technical Association. The Lloyd's Register Staff Association (LRSA) changed its name to the Lloyd's Register Technical Association (LRTA) in 1973.

The Instant Dream Book
Author: Tony Crisp
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1409005992
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Tony Crisp brings a new approach to dreams in this fascinating and important book. Instead of attempting to explain the lengthy process of interpreting one's dreams, he details techniques we can use for their instant understanding and use. Some of these techniques such as Key Words, he has developed through working with the dreams sent in by hundreds of readers of The Daily Mail and SHE magazine to which he contributes regular articles. Through the use of these techniques one can stimulate the massive, computer-like ability of the subconscious to solve problems of work, sex and self-confidence. Dreams can also be used to assess a new job, a marriage partner, decisions, or give a health check. Later chapters explore the relationship between dreams and little-used mental abilities, and the inner and spiritual life of human beings. Tony Crisp sees the dream as a link between drams and self and Cosmos, which he believes to be the basis for a real spiritual life for men and women.

Any Approaching Enemy
Author: Jay Worrall
Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks
ISBN: 0345476492
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
“Jay Worrall depicts the hearts and minds of the late eighteenth century with a facility I have seldom seen equaled. Readers of Patrick O’Brian will find themselves back in familiar gunrooms and wardrooms. Well done, Jay Worrall!”—David Poyer, author of That Anvil of Our Souls The year is 1798. The war between England and revolutionary France has reached a stalemate. With rumors swirling that the French are secretly amassing a powerful fleet, the Admiralty dispatches a group of ships under the command of Rear Admiral Horatio Nelson to investigate. But after a ferocious storm blindsides the squadron, Nelson’s flagship and two other ships go missing. Putting his career on the line by disobeying direct orders, Captain Charles Edgemont sets out in pursuit of Nelson and the French fleet on a treacherous voyage along the Tuscan coast. As tensions among the crew rise from a simmer to a boil, Edgemont makes an unexpected discovery in Naples that may compromise his mission. And when the French fleet turns up off the shores of Egypt, Edgemont is suddenly thrown into a crisis of conscience. As circumstances grow dire and require heroic action, the fate of the crucial battle effectively lies in Edgemont’s hands—as does the course of history. Praise for Any Approaching Enemy “A thoroughly enjoyable venture into the venue made famous by C. S. Forester . . . [evoking] the same admiration and sense of adventure [as] the Forester books do.”—The Roanoke Times “Combining engaging characters, witty dialogue and rousing action, Worrall’s nautical series continues its promising start.”—Publishers Weekly
