The book takes an in-depth look at the East Coast Main Line-King's
Cross to Edinburgh-between 1939 and 1959. This is carried out in a
series of chapters. In the first one a picture is painted of the
state of the network in the late 1930s. It is followed by an
account of the historical context of the changes on the ECML over
the subject years. This includes wartime 1939-1945 and the fortunes
of British Railways in the post-war period until the end of the
1950s; then follows an account of passenger services on the ECML in
the summer of 1939 and in the war and changes thereafter. Towards
the end of the book there are smaller chapters of specific
interest. Amongst these are military and other government
installations served by the ECML during WWII; specific wartime
locomotive workings; the impact of war on the ECML at various
locations along the line; accidents on the ECML September-December
1959 and snow and floods on the ECML in the 1940s and 1950s. The
period covered is a crucial one in the history of the line and it
is presented in an erudite yet readable manner.

A moving new collection from one of America's greatest poets, now
in paperback. For more than sixty years, the poems of John Ashbery
have served as signposts guiding us through the delights, woes,
hypocrisies, and uncertainties of living in the modern world. With
language harvested from everyday speech, fragments of pop culture,
and objects and figures borrowed from art and literature, his work
makes light out of darkness, playing with tone and style to show
how even the seemingly frivolous stuff of existence can be employed
to express the deepest levels of feeling. Commotion of the Birds,
his twenty-seventh collection, once again showcases Ashbery's
mastery of a staggering range of voices and his singular lyric
agility: wry, frank, contemplative, resigned, bemused, and
ecstatic. The poet in this new collection is at once removed from
and immersed in the terrain of his examination. Disarmingly
conversational, he invites the reader to join him in looking out
onto the future with humor, curiosity, and insight. The lines of
these poems achieve a low-humming, thrilling point of vibration, a
jostling of feathers before flight.
