Anne Rouse is a keenly observant writer of spiky satirical
portraits and shapely lyrics of the ordinary and the bizarre. Her
perspective in Ox-Eye - the term for a small cloud presaging a
storm - is one of apprehension in poems relating to personal and
social change. Ranging from her native east coast of America to her
adopted home on the south coast of England, these incisive but
often amused poems question how we view past and present,
dismantling obsolete nostalgia, and casting a critical eye on what
we wish for and what may happen instead. Ox-Eye is her fifth
collection from Bloodaxe, appearing 14 years after her previous
book, The Upshot: New & Selected Poems, which included the new
poems of The Divided (2008), along with selections from her first
three critically acclaimed earlier collections, Sunset Grill (1993)
and Timing (1997) - both Poetry Book Society Recommendations - and
The School of Night (2004).
Mastering Trial Advocacy is the consummate resource guide for law
students and practitioners who seek to take their advocacy skills
to the next level. The new edition includes deeper levels of
instruction and illustrative analogies across all fundamental
advocacy skills. By trial lawyers and for trial lawyers, this book
prepares attorneys for trial. This book excels in helping advocates
push themselves to the next level by providing the core components
necessary for competency, creativity, and maximum persuasive power.
In addition to acting as a training guide for pharmacists, pharmacy
residents and pharmacy students who seek to practice in areas
associated with patients on anticoagulant therapy, the information
presented within highlights the growing role of the pharmacist in
these contexts. Readers will find useful information on
anticoagulant management across all pharmacy practice areas,
including the inpatient, ambulatory, emergency services and
transitions of care settings. Particular attention is given to
summarizing best practices and providing 'real world' examples of
ways in which pharmacists can be involved in anticoagulation
management and the impact of such involvement. In the first major
section of the book, each chapter focuses on the role of the
pharmacist in the management of medication with a specific type of
anticoagulants (e.g. warfarin, heparin and target-specific oral
agents) in various healthcare settings. A broader overview of the
clinical management of anticoagulation therapy is provided in the
second major section, including descriptions of the role of
pharmacists in assessing venous thromboembolism risk, ensuring
patients receive appropriate prophylactic therapy, and monitoring
outcomes.
Anne Rouse is a keenly observant writer of spiky satirical
portraits and shapely lyrics of the ordinary and the bizarre. Her
latest book, "The Upshot", includes a new collection, "The
Divided", which constructs a modern metaphysic out of love and the

contemporary society. The selection from three critically acclaimed
earlier collections ranges from the lyrical exuberance of "Sunset
Grill" to the vivid nocturnal surrealism of "The School of Night".
