Poetry has always been at the heart of Farrar, Straus and Giroux's
identity, ever since Robert Giroux first brought T. S. Eliot to the
company. FSG's personality and literary profile have been defined
by both the poets and the prose writers who have made it an imprint
with a unique place in American letters. The FSG Poetry Anthology
includes work by every one of the more than one hundred poets FSG
has published in its seventy-five-year history. Robert Lowell,
Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman, and Randall Jarrell were central
to the first generation of those poets, followed by the
international figures and Nobel laureates Nelly Sachs, Seamus
Heaney, Joseph Brodsky, and Derek Walcott. Over time the list
expanded to include James Schuyler, John Ashbery, C. K. Williams,
Charles Wright, Yusef Komunyakaa, Grace Paley, Gjertrud
Schnackenberg, Yehuda Amichai, Paul Valery, Marianne Moore, Mina
Loy, Ted Hughes, and Adam Zagajewski. Today Carl Phillips, Maureen
N. McLane, Ange Mlinko, Ishion Hutchinson, Rowan Ricardo Phillips,
Frederick Seidel, Henri Cole, francine j. harris, and Valzhyna Mort
are among the poets who continue FSG's tradition as a premier
discoverer and promoter of the most vital and distinguished
contemporary poetic voices. Poetry and prose are two indissoluble
sides of the same coin. This anthology offers a unique perspective
on the best of contemporary literature over the past three
generations. FSG president and long-time poetry editor Jonathan
Galassi contributes a lively history of the role of poetry in the
publishing house.

The private lives of strangers can be fascinating, as these tales
reveal. In them, the strangers are all passengers on the No 13 bus
leaving Oxford Station at 1.15pm on a summer's day, arriving some
40 minutes later at the John Radcliffe Hospital. During their
journey more passengers get on and others get off and they rarely
interact. But behind each inscrutable facade are the joys and fears
of complex private worlds and private thoughts. This is a book to
dip into. It will, of course, help pass the time on a bus journey
or even in hospital but it is intended to give pleasure to anyone
who enjoys reading about other people and lives which may be
exciting, sad or just plain different. All proceeds from the book's
sale are being donated to the Hidden Heroes Fund of the Oxford
Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds which supports staff
recognition, development and training across all the Trust's
hospitals.

Originally published between 1969 and 1976 these 11 volumes
covering Botswana, Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria, Tanzania combine
historical approach with political analysis in an area of the world
and at a time when events were constantly evolving. Reliable
official sources of information were often unavailable to the
authors, many of whom had spent considerable time in the countries
they were writing about. Whether discussing the role of the
military in newly independent countries, history, language or
geography, what comes through clearly in this collection is the
sense of nation building and national identity across Africa at a
momentous point in the continent’s history. The books in this
set: Trace the remarkable expansion of Swahili Analyse the aims and
structure of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) provides a
synthesis of Yoruba and Igbomina history, culture and archaeology
Combine detailed technical studies of the diplomacy of the land and
waterborne warfare of pre-colonial West Africa. Assess Botswana’s
relations with other African states, particularly South Africa.
Describe the transformation of despised colonial defence force into
a Nigerian army with a popularly recognized reputation.
Celebrate Irish culture with this literary collection, which
includes traditional ballads; poems by Thomas Moore, James Clarence
Mangan, William Allingham, William Butler Yeats, and others; short
stories by Wilde, Le Fanu, and Carleton; the novels Castle Rackrent
by Maria Edgeworth and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by
James Joyce; and Synge's drama The Playboy of the Western World.
Demographic history is now recognised as one of the most important
components of social and economic history. Although the empirical
contexts of some of these volumes published between 1924 and 1995,
(particularly those focussed on modelling and planning for
population change) can at first seem out-of-date, the concerns
discussed remain very much at the focus of public discourse.
Indeed, they seem to have been given added urgency into the second
quarter of the 21st Century as the world seeks to recover from the
long-term economic and social, as well as demographic, consequences
of the COVID pandemic and the global environmental crisis. To
explore the impacts of increasing human numbers on nature, many of
the books examine the relationships between human population
density and biodiversity change. Others discuss the causes and
impacts of the considerable and widespread levels of population
change, focussing on a broad spectrum of public and social
infrastructure concerns, as well as economics. Demographic methods
(many of which are analysed in this collection) have been evolving
ever since the birth of demography in response to changes in the
field's research contents and theoretical orientations. The future
development of demographic methods will likely continue to
incorporate new methods first developed in other disciplines, but
formal demographic techniques will still play a role in population
forecasting, measurements improvements, and correction of faulty
data, providing foundational knowledge for other social science
disciplines. The volumes are global in nature, containing research
from all continents and by authors whose work on population
mobility and land use laid the foundations for distinguished
careers in areas as diverse as African studies and medical
geography.
