Book Description
Peter Reading is one of Britain's most prolific, versatile, startlingly contemporary and strikingly original poets. Employing increasingly ingenious metrical skills, Reading maps out an inconsolably sad and at times hilariously funny picture of England - and the world - in decline. Tackling issues such as violence, illness, madness, homelessness and environmental catastrophe, his eschatological vision chastises a world gone morally, ecologically and politically insane. Both bleak and deeply humane, his harrowing art aspires to nothing less than a distilled elegiac epic of our time. The destruction also strikes at Reading's art itself - the last six books are one long valedictory, culminating in his own death statement, Ob.Reading Peter Reading is the first comprehensive study in English of Peter Reading's oeuvre, illuminating its thematic and formal concerns, paradoxes and development as well as underlining its major status in contemporary literature. The book is based on Isabel Martin's pioneering doctoral dissertation on Reading, awarded the State Prize of Kiel University. Its updated, detailed textual analysis will help readers' understanding of the poetry, and as a whole it provides a thorough and substantial basis for any future critical discussion of Reading's works.Reading Peter Reading covers Peter Reading's collections from Water and Waste (1970) to Marfan (2000).

Book Description
England's comic master is in a black comic mode in this West End hit about our fascination with technology. It is sometime quite soon in a steel shuttered, slovenly flat in a no go area of North London where punks rule deserted streets. Here, a lonely composer sits surrounded by high tech equipment. His only company is a robot nanny, and she's on the blink. He desperately wants to reclaim his teenage daughter and enlists an out of work actress to implement a cunning plan he's evolved to impress his estranged wife and a wired for sound child welfare officer. When things don't work out, Jerome has to improvise... It's amazing what can be done with new micro chips and a screwdriver

Book Description
The causes of the Great War are examined in this first volume of the series that is “essential reading, as fresh and compelling as ever” (Jon Meacham, bestselling author of Franklin and Winston). An absorbing history of the outbreak of World War I from a true insider’s point of view, the first volume of Winston S. Churchill’s five-volume The World Crisis is unsurpassed as both a historical and personal account of the earth-shaking events leading up to WWI. Beginning in 1911, when Churchill was First Lord of the Admiralty, this report is based on thousands of his personal letters and memos. Churchill’s epic series opens with a chilling description of the Agadir Crisis, and provides an in-depth account of naval clashes in the Dardanelles, one of Churchill’s major military failures. It takes readers from the fierce bloodshed of the Gallipoli campaign to the tide-turning battles of Jutland and Verdun—as well as the United States’ entry into the combat theatre. Written in powerful prose by a great leader who would also go on to receive a Nobel Prize in Literature, The World Crisis, 1911–1914 provides a perspective you won’t find anywhere else: a dynamic insider’s account of events that would shape the outcome of modern history. “Whether as a statesman or an author, Churchill was a giant; and The World Crisis towers over most other books about the Great War.” —David Fromkin, author of A Peace to End All Peace
