From bPerspexb and polythene to polyester fabrics and beta-blocker heart drugs, the discoveries and innovations from ICI's laboratories have transformed our working and domestic lives. This new edition of a book, first published to mark the ICIbs diamond jubilee in 1986, has been completely revised and updated to chart the tumultuous years of change since then, culminating in the historic decision in 1993 to demerge ICb's pharmaceuticals and other biosciences businesses into a separate company called Zeneca.

In Caribbean writing, place is intimately inflected by displacement - place and displacement are not dichotomous; every 'here' invariably implies a 'there'. In line with this extreme imbrication of (dis)location, Caribbean writing in French explores questions of increasing global pertinence such as the relation between writing and displacement, local and distant space, text and place, identity and migration, passage and transformation. Contributions range across genres and the work of writers such as Aimé Césaire, Patrick Chamoiseau, René Dépestre, Édouard Glissant, Émile Ollivier, Gisèle Pineau, Simone Schwarz-Bart and Ernest Pépin. Topics explored include the poetics of dwelling space, the postmodern or postcolonial dynamic of the Creole town, and the textualization of place and displacement. Also included are essays on the drama of distance, the metamorphosis of recent Haitian writing, the literary reverberations of the figure of Toussaint L'Ouverture, and links between Ireland and the French Caribbean.

Au sein de cette polyphonie en mode mineur, la voix d'Adrian Grima, qui trace son sillon a mezzo voce, ne porte pas sur les contrastes bruyants, ostentatoires, si immediatement perceptibles en Mediterranee. Elle s'attarde sur la densite des silences, l'empreinte d'un corps, le rouge d'un geranium, un rai lumineux sur une chevelure, l'attente, le jaillissement poetique, la fragilite de l'ecriture. Infimes details, faibles lueurs, certes, mais ou se manifeste toute l'intensite de la vie. Extrait de la preface de Philippe Parizot-Clerico"
