This major collection of mature work by a Scottish poet who still
lacks the degree of recognition he deserves is, as implied by its
epigraph, a complex composite autobiography of the inner life. It
articulates the progression of the self from infancy to adulthood
and onwards to the long preparation for death which is the path we
must all take. One of the principal ways in which it does so lies
in its intense engagement with and love of nature, for, to cite the
title of a key poem, "All Things are Signs", as Boehme knew. More
than that, they are "shadows cast by the invisible", and the
extraordinary sensuous beauty of so many of these poems is the
measure of the spiritual sensibility which pervasively informs
them.Most of these poems are quite short and lyrical (even the
title poem, which is much the longest, is really a set of related
lyrics). Apparently simple in structure, they are in fact very
concentrated and sometimes quite difficult, and of great technical
assurance. They demand very close attention and careful re-reading,
and will be found to repay them richly. Pervaded by Celtic
mythology and underpinned by a philosophical mind-set, the poems
are deeply rooted in the area of the Perthshire countryside where
Perrie has lived for many years, and this rootedness is an
important binding factor which confers unity on this large and in
many ways diverse collection which represents an exciting and
significant new stage in the poet's development. A note fromJohn
Herdman, novelist and short-story writer. In The Ages of Water
Walter Perrie confirms that he is a poet writing at the zenith of
his powers - self-confident in his way with words, ever observant
of the life that surrounds him and thoroughly at home with himself
and his world. To the clarity that has always characterised his
work he has introduced a fresh and convincing sense of harmony
which is at once both natural and gracious. This is poetry of the
highest order. A a Note from Trevor Royle, former Literature
Director of the Scottish Arts Council 1971-1979"The Ages of Water"
is a voyage, a verbal exploration of Nature's strength and guiding
spirit and the sometimes reluctance of humans to accept its power
and benevolence. Walter Perrie has created a new Pastoral Psalter,
a revived Book of Hours, a celebration of, and an acknowledgement
to, our tidal Master: Water. A note from Hayden Murphy, Poet &
Arts Journalist

the Swedish Ministry of Defence assess costs and benefits of
architectures for network-based operations as the Swedish Defence
Forces are reoriented to a wider suite of missions than homeland
defence, including operations far from Sweden. Offers criteria for
certain network measures and metrics for those measures, and
relates those metrics broadly to interaction categories that
support identification of common subnetworks and analogous
systems/components in the cost-estimation process.
