Robert Frost An Adventure in Poetry 1900-1918

In this volume Lesley Lee Francis granddaughter of Robert Frost brings to life the Frost family's idyllic early years. Through their own words we enter the daily lives of Robert known as RF to his family and friends his wife Elinor and their four children Lesley Carol Irma and Marjorie. The result is a meticulously researched and beautifully written evocation of a fleeting chapter in the life of a literary family. Taught at home by their father and mother the Frost children received a remarkable education. Reared on poetry nurtured on the world of the imagination and instructed in the art of direct observation the children produced an exceptional body of writing and artwork in the years between 1905 and 1915. Drawing upon previously unexamined journals notebooks letters and the little magazine entitled The Bouquet produced by the Frost children and their friends Francis shows how the genius of Frost was enriched by his interactions with his children. Francis depicts her grandfather as a generous devoted and playful man with a striking ability to communicate with his children and grandchildren. She traces the family's adventures from their farm years in New Hampshire through their nearly three years in England. This enchanting evocation of the Frost family's life together makes more poignant the unforeseen personal tragedies that would befall its members in later years. | Robert Frost An Adventure in Poetry 1900-1918

Language Democracy and the Paradox of Constituent Power Declarations of Independence in Comparative Perspective

In this book Catherine Frost uses evidence and case studies to offer a re-examination of declarations of independence and the language that comprises such documents. Considered as a quintessential form of founding speech in the modern era declarations of independence are however poorly understood as a form of expression and no one can completely account for how they work. Beginning with the founding speech in the American Declaration Frost uses insights drawn from unexpected or unlikely forms of founding in cases like Ireland and Canada to reconsider the role of time and loss in how such speech is framed. She brings the discussion up to date by looking at recent debates in Scotland where an undeclared declaration of independence overshadows contemporary politics. Drawing on the work of Hannah Arendt and using a contextualist comparative theory method Frost demonstrates that the capacity for renewal through speech arises in aspects of language that operate beyond conventional performativity. Language Democracy and the Paradox of Constituent Power is an excellent resource for researchers and students of political theory democratic theory law constitutionalism and political history. | Language Democracy and the Paradox of Constituent Power Declarations of Independence in Comparative Perspective

Coming to Life in the Consulting Room Toward a New Analytic Sensibility

Ogden sets out a movement in contemporary psychoanalysis toward a new sensibility reflecting a shift in emphasis from what he calls epistemological psychoanalysis (having to do with knowing and understanding) to ontological psychoanalysis (having to do with being and becoming). Ogden clinically illustrates his way of dreaming the analytic session and of inventing psychoanalysis with each patient. Using the works of Winnicott and Bion he finds a turn in the analytic conception of mind from conceiving of it as a thing—a mental apparatus—to viewing mind as a living process located in the very act of experiencing. Ogden closes the volume with discussions of being and becoming that occur in reading the poetry of Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson and in the practice of analytic writing. This book will be of great interest not only to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists interested in the shift in analytic theory and practice Ogden describes but also to those interested in ideas concerning the way the mind and human experiencing are created. | Coming to Life in the Consulting Room Toward a New Analytic Sensibility

Fundamentals of Geomorphology

This revised and updated edition continues to provide a comprehensive introduction to the subject exploring the world’s landforms from a broad systems perspective. It covers the basics of Earth surface forms and processes while reflecting on the latest developments in the field. Fundamentals of Geomorphology begins with a consideration of the nature of geomorphology including its relation to society process and form history and geomorphic systems and moves on to discuss: • Structure: structural landforms associated with plate tectonics and those associated with volcanoes and folds faults and joints. • Process and form: landforms resulting from or influenced by the exogenic agencies of weathering running water flowing ice and meltwater ground ice and frost the wind and the sea; landforms developed on limestone; extraterrestrial landforms; and landscape evolution a discussion of ancient landforms. Fundamentals of Geomorphology provides a stimulating and innovative perspective on the key topics and debates within the field of geomorphology. Written in an accessible and lively manner it includes guides to further reading chapter summaries and an extensive glossary of key terms. The book is also illustrated throughout with over 200 informative diagrams and attractive photographs all in colour. It is supported by online resources for students and instructors.

Omics Analysis of Plants under Abiotic Stress

This new volume highlights the various emerging techniques and molecular applications that are currently being used in plant abiotic stress physiology. It provides a thorough overview of omics approaches in response to stressors such as low water accessibility (drought) excess water (flooding/waterlogging) extremes of temperatures (cold chill frost and heat) salinity mineral deficiency and heavy metal toxicity-many of which are the result of climate change. The book with chapters contributed by specialists in the field emphasizes the broad variety of themes using an omics analysis of plants under abiotic stress factors at the cellular and molecular levels. The chapter authors explore a variety of approaches to address plant abiotic stress including proteomic approaches genome editing applications and system biology approaches. The volume takes into consideration from omics perspective how to use the plant-microbe interaction to make plants more resilient to changing climates. It also looks at the role of ionomics (the study of complete mineral nutrient and trace elemental composition of a plant species) and osmoprotectants to address multiple abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Omics Analysis of Plants under Abiotic Stress provides the fundamental information for all who are working in or have interest in this specific field. Unquestionably this volume will be beneficial for common use of research students teachers and persons who have interest in plant abiotic stress physiology.
