This completely revised and expanded edition recognises the growing
importance of patent systems and documentation from Asia, South
America and Africa. The most prominent patent systems from these
regions are treated individually, together with revisions to
existing country coverage and an overview of IP developments in
general. This is an essential reference tool for librarians,
information specialists, data analysts and others seeking to use
patent information either at the document level or in bulk.
Since the publication of the 2nd edition additional countries
especially in Asia have become more prominent in industry. This
completely revised edition takes account of the changing
information scene e.g. in new chapters like BRIC nations (Brazil,
Russia, India, and China), Asia and regional patent systems or
Sources for legal status searching. This is an essential reference
tool for academic librarians and information specialists as well as
anyone needing to know where and how patent information can be
found.

There are numerous introductions to poetry and prosody available,
but none at once so comprehensive and so accessible as this. With
the increasing emphasis on free verse, the past generation has
developed a widespread impression that the study of poetic meter is
old fashioned-or even that form 'doesn't matter' in poetry. It is
an impression that has not been dispelled by the emphasis of some
of the existing texts in the area on forms that are now rare or
outmoded. The irony is that simultaneously in the past decade
interest in formal matters among many poets and literary scholars
has been on the increase; the reality is that prosody is today on
the cutting edge of literary studies. Stephen Adams' text provides
a full treatment of traditional topics, from the iambic pentameter
through other accentual-syllabic rhythms (trochaic, dactylic and so
on) and covering as well other metrical types, stanza structure,
the sonnet and other standard forms. Adams also includes a variety
of topics not covered in most other introductions to the topic;
perhaps most significantly, he provides a full chapter on form in
free verse. Moreover, he treats rhyme extensively and includes a
comprehensive chapter on literary figures. Poetic Designs is thus
much more that an introduction to prosody; it is a concise but
comprehensive introduction to the nature of poetry in English. It
is a book for the general reader and the aspiring writer as well as
for the student, a book intended (in the words of the author) to
help 'heighten the experience of poetry.'
