In this perceptive and original study of one of the most popular of
English poets, Douglas Kerr has written the life of Wilfred Owen's
language. The book explores the meaning in Owen's life of the
family, the Church, the army, and English poets of the past. It
examines the language of these four communities, and shows how
their discourses helped to mould the poet's own. The language in
which Owen's extraordinary poems and letters are written was
learned in and from these communities which shaped his short
career. But there were times too when he hated each of them. As
Douglas Kerr shows, much of the power of Owen's writing derives
from his desire to transform the communities which formed him.
Accessible and lucid, and informed by the insights of recent
theory, Wilfred Owen's Voices throws important new light on the
best-known of the English war poets, and on both the cultural
history and intense personal drama to be read in his work.
As the world population increases, food security is a major global
issue. This book provides an in-depth examination of the three
necessary conditions for the achievement of food security: (1)
availability of food; (2) adequate incomes and (3) increasing
agricultural productivity. The author draws lessons from history,
explores these three conditions and discusses the prospect of
feeding an expected nine billion people in 2050. The author
discusses the major factors inhibiting food being available and
explores how these constraints can be lifted. First, the book
describes conditions necessary for food to be truly, consistently
available. Second, adequate incomes and programs such as food
stamps and foodbanks are explored. Third, the drivers of increasing
agricultural productivity are examined. Agricultural economists and
scientists, food policy practitioners in government and
international organizations and food aid NGOs, and students of
agriculture and public policy will find Food Security as
thought-provoking as it is informative.
