Stevie Smith was a visionary poet with a unique sense of humor. Her work is now more popular than ever, both in English and in translation, and she has a special appeal to young readers. In this study, the author separates the various strands of her philosophy and discusses aspects of her thought and particular poems often unfamiliar to the average reader.

Collecting stories from experience in the hills of India makes for a good read. But, when fact and fiction are intertwined, and reality becomes a mixture of the two, the words become spellbinding.--Small Press. ""Born in Vevey, Switzerland, R.V. Vernde entered the Indian Civil Service in 1928 and was posted to Uttar Pradesh (now perhaps best known as the state encompassing the Temple at Ayodyha).

Orders of Knighthood and of Merit

Bander van Duren, Peter

For generations in Northern Ireland, unionist and nationalist communities have been frozen in isolation from one another, preferring demonstrations of communal solidarity to negotiation and cooperation. This absorbing book examines the many attempts to resolve the conflict in Northern Ireland, beginning with the civil rights movement and Prime Minister Terence O'Neill's reform efforts in the mid-1960's, continuing up to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. It finds that early attempts at peacemaking suggested only mechanical political solutions, which only deepened the antagonistic pattern of relationships. It was not until these existing relationships were challenged, most crucially through the Anglo-Irish agreement of 1985 and subsequent initiatives jointly determined by the British and Irish governments, that the main parties began to participate in efforts to create a democratic peace. The authors contend that a political and cultural process is now in motion that gives peace its first real chance in Northern Ireland's history.

The Illustrated Edition of the hilarious fantasy, co-written by Terry Pratchett, at age seventeen, and Terry Pratchett, at age forty-threeIn the beginning, there was nothing but endless flatness. Then came the Carpet…Now, the Carpet is home to many different tribes and peoples, and a new story: the story of Fray, sweeping a trail of destruction across the Carpet; the story of power-hungry mouls — and of two Munrung brothers who set out on an adventure to end all adventures when their village is flattened. It’s a story that will come to a terrible end if someone doesn’t do something about it.
