Описание: Thinking on Purpose is an indispensable guide to anyone who wants to make changes in their life. Most people don`t really `think`. They `remember`. That`s why they are often destined to repeat the same negative patterns over and over again.
Описание: The trail leads from Iraq to London, Dublin, and Kabul - the brutal city where governments, terrorism and big business collide. Caught in the crossfire, Stone`s nightmare is only just beginning - for the hunter has suddenly become the hunter...
The composition of Chinese poetry (kanshi) in the Japanese court dates to the mid-seventh century. During the Heian age (794–1185), kanshi emerged as one of two preeminent poetic genres employed by aristocrats, scholar-officials, and priests; over the centuries it developed into one of Japan's most enduring literary forms. This anthology, comprising some 300 kanshi by 80 poets, is the largest collection of translated kanshi ever produced. It includes an introduction to the kanshi genre, biographies of the poets, and extensive annotations. The poems sketch a graceful panorama of life in the Heian capital and in the provinces, offering rare glimpses into the private concerns, tastes, and aspirations of the well-born people of the times.Kanshi continued to flourish in Japan through early modern times, remaining vital down to the Taisho era (1912–1926). Its longevity was partly a function of its permeation to the townsmen class and to a larger range of female practitioners. Although the era of kanshicomposition has passed, some 5 million Japanese continue to participate in kanshirecitation circles. While Japanese vernacular literature has been studied extensively and is relatively well-known in the West, kanshi have received little scholarly attention in either Japan or abroad. It is hoped that the present anthology will bring this important genre more squarely into both the mainstream of Japanese studies and the consciousness of Western readers.
Описание: Ex-special forces soldier Nick Stone is recuperating in Switzerland. When she fails to reappear, Stone begins his quest to find her. One bloody twist leads to another and Stone finds himself catapulted into the dark, brutal world he thought he`s managed to leave behind.

Описание: Like its precursor Barnacle Rock, Brief Garden is a collection of poems largely concerned with environmental degeneration and loss. The title poem deals with the ephemeral nature of a civilisation and its artefacts, but the focus of the collection goes deeper, playing on the word "brief", the vanishing of an Edenic garden.
