Literature & Literary StudiesNovember 2024Geoffrey Hill and the ends of poetry
by Tom Docherty
The idea of the end is an essential motivic force in the poetry of Geoffrey Hill (1932-2016). This book shows that Hill's poems are characteristically 'end-directed'. They tend towards consummations of all kinds: from the marriages of meanings in puns, or of words in repeating figures and rhymes, to syntactical and formal finalities. The recognition of failure to reach such ends provides its own impetus to Hill's poetry. This is the first book on Hill to take account of his last works. It is a significant contribution to the study of Hill's poems, offering a new thematic reading of his entire body of work. By using Hill's work as an example, the book also touches on questions of poetry's ultimate value: what are its ends and where does it wish to end up?

September 2002Zigeunerromanzen
Primer romancero gitano 1924–1927.Gedichte. Spanisch und deutsch
by Federico García Lorca, Martin Koppenfels, Martin Koppenfels, Martin Koppenfels
Im Jahr 1928, als in Europa die Zeichen auf Surrealismus standen, erschien in Spanien ein Buch, das zu der Handvoll lyrischer Massenerfolge gehört, die die Literaturgeschichte kennt: García Lorcas Zigeunerromanzen, ein Bestseller in der Größenordnung von Heines Buch der Lieder oder Baudelaires Blumen des Bösen. Mit diesem schmalen Band, der auf dem archaischen Gefühlsklavier der Romanze in einer Weise spielt, die den Zeitgenossen atemberaubend neu erschien, erreichte der Spanier, was selten gelingt und niemals verziehen wird: Avantgardist und Populärstar zugleich zu sein.Die Avantgarden haben längst selbst Grünspan angesetzt und Lorcas Romanzen sind dem Schulbuch anheimgefallen. Mit dem Erscheinen der neuen übersetzung von Martin von Koppenfels (Dichter in New York, 2000) ist jetzt die Gelegenheit gekommen, einen unvoreingenommenen Blick auf dieses erstaunlich langlebige Kultbuch von einst zu werfen, um herauszufinden, worin sein Geheimnis besteht. Was steckt hinter diesem andalusischen Bilderbogen mit seinen melancholischen Viehdieben und transsexuellen Erzengeln, seinen Zigeunermadonnen und mondsüchtigen Planeten, seinen Märtyrern und kürbiskernkauenden Straßenkindern? Man wird entdecken, daß diese Romanzen fragile Gebilde sind, Seiltänze von der Ballade zum Puppentheater, von der schwarzen Romantik ins Land Dada. Lorca jongliert mit den Stilen: Das ölige Pathos des Moritatensängers beherrscht er so gut wie die schrille oder ironische Pointe. Und zugrunde liegt dieser Lyrik eine stetige, stille Hysterie der Bilder, die ahnen läßt, von wem Buñuel, Saura oder Almodóvar so manchen ihren Kunstgriffe gelernt haben.

Agriculture & related industriesJuly 1998Thysanoptera
An Identification Guide, 2nd Edition
by Laurence A Mound, Geoffrey Kibby
A number of species of Thysanoptera (thrips) are increasingly important crop pests in many parts of the world, as well as in some cases being vectors of plant disease. Communicating the known information about a species of organism is dependent on our ability to recognise or identify it accurately. This book is a completely revised and rewritten edition of the standard, widely used manual on these minute flying insects written by J.M. Palmer, L.A. Mound and G.J. du Heaume and published in 1989 as CIE Guides to Insects of Importance to Man 2. Thysanoptera, which provides a practical identification guide on a worldwide scale. The previous version posed problems for students in terms of fluency in English & knowledge of dichotomous keys. However, this thoroughly updated edition incorporates a new set of pictorial keys, which have been developed and used very successfully for training courses at the International Institute of Entomology and which will greatly enhance the ability of the non-specialist to identify thrips to species. Individuals of these insects can usually be identified only by examination under a microscope, often at high power. Within each species, individuals can vary in size, colour and shape and their appearance can be altered by techniques used in preparation. This booklet describes techniques used in the preparation of thrip specimens onto slides for identification and the means of identifying slide-mounted specimens most commonly encountered. It also introduces students to the biological diversity that is found amongst the Thysanoptera, their economic importance in terms of both damaging and beneficial effects, new identification techniques, additional information and taxa, glossary of technical terms, notes on each genus (described alphabetically within their families and subfamilies). Supplementary keys to species are also given within four genera that include several pest species (Caliothrips, Frankliniella, Scirtothrips and Thrips) along with new distribution records which have occurred since the publication of the first edition. It is an essential tool for applied entomologists and crop protection specialists involved in the control of crop pest thrips, and thrip taxonomists.

Picture booksMay 2017Over the Hill Together
by Da Chuzhe
From the fifth year of their marriage, Sumiko had to receive treatment in hospital for the acute pain caused by multiple rheumatoid arthritis. From that time on the disease had seized her. From 1982, Sumiko had to lie in the bed or rely on a wheelchair for the significant dysfunction of the upper limbs and the paralysis of the lower limbs, so she had to let her husband see to her daily life. And Oochuje took care of her basically all by himself unless he had a business trip and he would hire a care worker. This illustrated book elaborately depicts the story between them, including how they met and fell in love with each other during childhood, their daily conversations, their poems as well as their relentless fighting against disease. At the final part of the book, it mainly records the last thirty-three days from December 1997 to January 1998 during which the couple spent together until Sumiko had passed away. The words of the book is selected and the drawings simple yet profound through which one will be deeply touched for the deep and unchangeable love. “Over the hill” in common sense is an expression for death, but it means a whole new world for Oochuje and Sumiko where they would also walk side by side. Their love and cherish for each other was well beyond life and death for they never ceased to bring happiness for each other. And their love story has also enriched the world with pure beauty and wonder of love.
