Paterson is both a place the New Jersey city in whom the person
(the poet's own life) and the public (the history of the region)
are combined. Originally four books (published individually between
1946 and 1951), the structure of Paterson (in Dr. Williams' words)
"follows the course of teh Passaic River" from above the great
falls to its entrance into the sea. The unexpected Book Five,
published in 1958, affirms the triumphant life of the imagination,
in spite of age and death. This revised edition has been
meticulously re-edited by Christopher MacGowan, who has supplied a
wealth of notes and explanatory material.
So that readers could more fully understand the extent of Williams'
radical simplicity, all of his published poetry, excluding
Paterson, was reissued in two definite volumes, of which this is
the first.
Knowledge of tumours of the thyroid gland has advanced consider-
ably in the 22 years that have elapsed since work was started on
the first edition of Histological Typing of Thyroid Tumours. In the
intro- duction to that volume it was recognized that the
definitions and clas- sifications put forward would need revision
in time, and the present text differs substantially from the first
edition. As far as is possible, however, the framework of the
classification proposed remains the same, as the original
classification was widely accepted and proved useful in many
studies. The link between the morphological type of thyroid tumour
and its epidemiology, natural history, function, prognosis and
response to therapy has been further strengthened since the first
edition. In par- ticular, the decision taken to separate papillary
and follicular carcino- mas and exclude a mixed papillary
follicular type has been well justi- fied. One of the major changes
has been the recognition that many tu- mours regarded 20 years ago
as small cell carcinoma were really ma- lignant lymphoma, and this
development has been incorporated into this edition, with increased
importance given to primary malignant lymphoma of the thyroid. Much
work has also been done on medul- lary carcinoma of the thyroid,
its link with mUltiple endocrine neo- plasia syndromes, and its
association in its inherited form with C-cell hyperplasia; this too
is recognized by an expanded section on this tu- mour.

William Carlos Williams' Paterson, widely regarded as a masterpiece
of modern American poetry, is reissued as a Carcanet Classic.
William Carlos Williams' Collected Poems Volume II reissued as a
Carcanet Classic. After 1939, William Carlos Williams had embarked
on the great original experiment that led to his magnificent,
faulted master-work 'Paterson', and the work in the second volume
of The Complete Poems provides a luminous record of his developing
strategies, the emergence of a firm sense of 'the variable foot',
and of the unaffected, secular and democratic voice of a poet who
remains the great American modernist. It includes the collections
he published alongside Paterson - The Wedge (1944), The Clouds
(1948) and The Pink Church (1949); the two books in which he
developed his distinctive three-step line, The Desert Music (1954)
and Journey to Love (1955); and his final Pulitzer Prize volume,
Pictures from Breughel (1962). As in Volume I, previously
uncollected pieces are arranged chronologically and placed between
the individual books. Williams's verse translations from four
languages are also included. Williams remains challenging not
because he is obscure but because he is so wonderfully direct. To
reveal some of Williams's techniques of revision the editor prints
some poems in earlier and later versions, and a few of the poems
from the suppressed 1909 volume are included so that we can measure
the extent of his growth. As in Volume I, there is a full editorial
apparatus.

John's Gospel has traditionally been regarded as the least
apocalyptic document in the New Testament. This exciting new
collection redresses the balance by exploring the ways in which the
apocalyptic literature of Second Temple Judaism has contributed to
the theology and outlook of John's Gospel. Given that John, like
the Jewish apocalyptic texts, is primarily concerned with the theme
of revelation, the contributors examine how apocalyptic ideas can
help to explain the Johannine portrayal of Jesus as the messenger
sent from heaven to reveal the divine mysteries, as well as the
Gospel's presentation of the activity of the Spirit, its
understanding of evil, and the intended effects of this 'apocalypse
in reverse' on its readers and hearers. The highly distinguished
contributors include, John Ashton, Christopher Rowland, April
DeConick, Judith Lieu and Jorg Frey.
