With respect to style, the selections range from the narrative to the more open-ended or non-sequential, classic formal verse to robust vernacular, and in this way speak to the lively state of North American poetry in our age. Poets include David St. John, Wanda Coleman, Cecilia Woloch, Lynne Thompson, Timothy Steele, Kate Gale, Gail Wronsky, Terry Wolverton, Luis J. Rodriguez, Tony Barnstone, Robin Coste Lewis, William Archila and Melissa Roxas.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49506807447825,"sku":"CIN1892184036G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50700168036625,"sku":"CIN1892184036VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51052921159953,"sku":"NIN9781892184030","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1892184036.jpg?v=1750996269"},{"product_id":"in-danger-book-suzanne-lummis-9780966669114","title":"In Danger","description":"L'histoire de l'industrie du gaz en Europe aux XIXe et Xe siecles n'avait pas fait jusqu'ici l'objet d'une reflexion comparative, generale et inscrite dans la longue duree, comme cela a deja ete le cas pour d'autres energies. Les communications faites lors de deux colloques internationaux et rassemblees dans cet ouvrage ont ete completees par plusieurs textes qui proposent une synthese de l'histoire du gaz en Europe. Les differentes phases de son evolution sont etudiees en abordant les problematiques de l'exploitation des reseaux, du lien entre producteur et consommateur, de la diffusion de l'innovation et des modes de gestion des infrastructures gazieres. Une recension par pays des sources et de la bibliographie disponible permet aussi d'utiliser ce livre comme un instrument de recherche. Le bilan historiographique realise apporte une contribution majeure a l'histoire des energies. Utile a la communaute scientifique, cet ouvrage eclaire egalement les debats actuels par une perspective pluriseculaire. Il donne ainsi a un large public les elements necessaires a la comprehension de l'evolution des marches gaziers en Europe dans le contexte actuel de liberalisation des reseaux d'energie.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49801739567377,"sku":"CIN0966669118VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50367577620753,"sku":"CIN0966669118G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0966669118.jpg?v=1751234849"},{"product_id":"open-24-hours-book-suzanne-lummis-9780899241388","title":"Open 24 Hours","description":"\"With candor, power, and poignancy, Suzanne Lummis illuminates the glorious absurdities of our lives, especially the pride and paranoia that arise from living in an urban landscape.
