Using Berryman's unpublished letters and poetry, as well as interviews with those who knew him intimately, Paul Mariani captures Berryman's genius and the tragedy that dogged him, while at the same time illuminating one of the most provocative periods in American letters. Here we witness Berryman's struggles with alcohol and drugs, his obsession with women and fame, and his friendships with luminary writers of the century. Mariani creates an unforgettable portrait of a poet who, by the time of his suicide at age fifty-seven, had won a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49891240575249,"sku":"CIN0688050263G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51684942151953,"sku":"CIN0688050263A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52108766314769,"sku":"GOR007008872","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0688050263.jpg?v=1751105131"},{"product_id":"global-maritime-geopolitics-book-hasret-omak-9781801351157","title":"Global Maritime Geopolitics","description":"\u003cp\u003eStates must develop new approaches, maritime policies, strategies and tactics to cruise through the contemporary maritime politics.

Its cold waters and frozen lands have attracted the attention of people for many years and have been the centre of discoveries and adventures. Today, however, the strategic importance of the Arctic has gone beyond discoveries and adventures. Factors, such as environmental erosion, climate change, and national or regional security complicate geopolitical dynamics in the region.This book begins by delving into the issues that have led Arctic countries to reorient their foreign policies. The geopolitical structure of the Arctic, the expansion of NATO, the emergence of new energy reserves, and the impact of climate change on the Arctic are some of the factors directly affecting the region. Then, within the framework of these influences, the policies of the eight Arctic countries are re-assessed from the perspective of international relations.This volume not only emphasises the geopolitical and strategic importance of the Arctic region, but also discusses conflicts of interest, international cooperation efforts, and possible future scenarios. The Arctic is not just a geography, but also an important part of global politics and security. This book is a guide to understanding the complex and dynamic nature of the Arctic region.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51051065671953,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51051069014289,"sku":"NIN9781801352710","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1801352712.jpg?v=1751312437"},{"product_id":"turkiye-and-west-africa-relations-book-ali-a287lar-9781801352611","title":"Türkiye and West Africa Relations","description":"This book is focused on an overview of T rkiye's increased engagement with Africa particularly West Africa in recent years.

The Zapatistas have been extensively studied as a movement with a specific political consciousness derived from historical marginalizing (land) policies in Mexico that propelled the creation and rise of the movement and, later, their autonomy project. However, these factors have also been involved in the formation of their particular ecological consciousness. By focusing on the Zapatista case - specifically, on the stories of the Tzotzil people of Chiapas - this book contributes to a deeper understanding of the existence and importance of alternative and more caring ways of thinking of and relating to nature. This teaches us the possibility of human-nature relations that defy the dominant logic based on the capitalist, exploitative discourse that continues to promote the destruction of the planet and its peoples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the light of increasing environmental degradation and the climate crisis, among others, and the intertwined augmented pressures on the global population's well-being, human-Nature relationships have become a topical issue. These relationships are intrinsically politico-ecological, currently shaped by capitalist-modernity that functions based on extractivism. Therefore, it is imperative to shift towards more caring human-Nature relationships, which are being developed in and through political counter-movements. Taking the Zapatista movement as an example, this book explores other ways of thinking and acting towards Nature that allows for the development of non-exploitative human-Nature relationships. It follows the argument that the Zapatista fight is a politico-ecological one, in which the movement's political aims and decisions are grounded in a Mayan-derived, indigenous worldview of Nature and in their influence in defining more caring human-Nature relationships; and that, therefore, their fight is also expressed through the ways they put these relationships in practice, particularly in their ways of doing agriculture (through agroecology, based on values such as care, respect, and democracy). In turn, these help to guarantee not only their resistance to the dominant extractivist system, but also their autonomy, the main aim of the civil part of the Zapatista movement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52755257491729,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52755258212625,"sku":"NIN9781801353151","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"global-risks-and-their-impacts-on-turkiye-book-mesut-zel-9781801353090","title":"Global Risks and Their Impacts on Türkiye","description":"\u003cp\u003eToday, the growing impact of climate change, armed conflicts, social polarization, and economic instability threatens the foundations of the global order. These challenges escalate rapidly, fuelled by technological advancements and economic uncertainties that we face on a global scale. Disinformation and misinformation stand out as critical global threats. The pressing issues of cybersecurity, geopolitical tensions, unequal opportunities, inflation, forced migration, economic downturns, and environmental degradation present urgent risks that demand immediate attention. The imbalances and inequalities in wealth and resource distribution at all levels breed instability locally, regionally, and globally, further amplifying the fragility and volatility of our global system. Beyond the immediate crises, our book delves into the potential repercussions of artificial intelligence and its implications for the geopolitical supply chain in T rkiye. It meticulously unveils how climate change and geopolitical dynamics could severely impact T rkiye's security framework, economic landscape, and business sector. In this context, T rkiye must boldly declare its commitment to fostering collaboration among nations, businesses, and civil society to effectively address these global challenges. T rkiye's pivotal role in this collective endeavour cannot be overstated, and the country should continue to lead initiatives aimed at collaboration and problem-solving. This book offers valuable insights from scholars, experts, and industry leaders, with the goal of elevating awareness and effectively managing emerging risks at every level.
