Collected Poems
Poetry is a universal language, and Raymond Fraser used it to speak to his readers about what life is—and what it can be. Over his impressive fifty-year career, Raymond wrote eight poetry collections, using deft insight and a masterful command of language to examine the complexities of life. No topic was too minute or too grandiose to be dissected, spread out, and examined. The included poems were chosen by the poet before he passed away.
The Canadian Short Story
Beginning in the 1890s, reaching its first full realization by modernist writers in the 1920s, and brought to its heyday during the Canadian Renaissance starting in the 1960s, the short story has become Canada's flagship genre. It continues to attract the country's most accomplished and innovative writers today, among them Margaret Atwood, Mavis Gallant, Alice Munro, Carol Shields, and many others. Yet in contrast to the stature and popularity of the genre and the writers who partake in it, surprisingly little literary criticism and theory has been devoted to the Canadian short story. This collection redresses that imbalance by providing the first collection of critical interpretations of a ...
The Lennox Legacy
The Lennox Legacy: The history of the CSIRO Laboratory at 343 Royal Parade Parkville records many of the events and incidents associated with the genesis and development of the Division of Protein Chemistry over a period of more than fifty years. This book has been titled in honour of Dr Francis Gordon Lennox, the Laboratory's founder and a man who believed that science has an important part to play in bettering the well-being of all Australians. His vision, over the years, of the critical importance of protein chemistry to Australian science and industry, was central to the Laboratory's national and international achievements. The book has been written three parts: *Part 1 attempts to trace...
Too Young to Vote
Bride View United Football Club was formed in Tallow, Co Waterford in 1972. In this book Pat Coughlan re lives those days in 1972 when seven young people - still too young to vote - made history by forming Bride View United A.F.C. He looks at the Ireland of 1972 and try's to bring back memories of the current affairs, both national and local. He looks at the music and entertainment of the period, and events in the world of sport. But central to this book is the story of the Bride View United A.F.C. The book takes you back to the early days. Follow through the life in Cork Athletic Union League. Relive the hopes and the disappointment of that first County Cup Final, and try to put into words the magic of the year of the Double, promotion to Division 1 and victory in the County Cup. The book also looks at the progress of the Club in the Red House League and the progress of soccer in West Waterford. The book was originally published in 1993 on the 21st anniversary of the club.
The Storms Below
Hugh Garner was a hard-drinking, opinionated tough guy who fought with editors, publishers and everyone else he considered part of the Establishment. Yet beneath this brash, angry exterior, Garner was a writer of sensitive short stories and a novel, Cabbagetown, that has become a Canadian classic. Garner's stories were drawn from his own rough, adventurous life, a life portrayed in all its wildness and pathos in The Storms Below. From an impoverished childhood in Toronto's working-class Cabbagetown to his time riding the rails in the Depression, from the Spanish Civil War to the Royal Canadian Navy, from youthful radicalism to cantakerous, middle-aged conservatism, Paul Stuewe chronicles the many passages of Garner's controversial career. A definitive biography of a unique Canadian writer, drawing on extensive interviews with Garner's family, friends and colleagues, The Storms Below has the excitement and emotional impacy of a good novel.
Farewell To The Good Old Days
Farewell to the Good Old Days is a lively and intimate tale by David Greatrix, a man who has lived a dynamic professional life, first as an aerospace engineer and then as a professor of the subject. The book, leaning heavily on the actual life experiences of Greatrix and a number of his academic colleagues close and far away, is divided into two discrete parts; the book’s narrator for both parts is nominally a fictional consolidated representation of Greatrix, drawing from various sources in addition to the author. Part One covers the narrator’s childhood and early adulthood, followed by his moving into his years of growth as a professional breaking into the challenging field of aerospac...
Just Being One
An illustrated collection of haiku-poems by Ray Andrews. These little poems make your heart soft, provoking a smile here, some tenderness there, taking you gently to a place in yourself where silence abides.
Imaging in High Energy Astronomy
An almost complete collection of the papers given at the International Workshop on Imaging in High Energy Astronomy (Anacapri, Italy, 1994). These proceedings, which concentrate on imaging above 10 keV, represent the state of the art in the field, resulting from the success of many missions (I.C. Granat and CGRO) carrying detectors for high energy astronomy with imaging capabilities. The main topics of the book are Bragg concentrators, coded mask-modulation collimators, double Compton telescopes, the occultation method, tracking chambers, and new experimental techniques. The book also contains some papers dealing with image reconstruction and processing, with an emphasis on the above techniques.
