Shortlisted for the John Pollard Foundation International Poetry Prize 2025''Gub is unlike anything I have ever read. In a playful demotic that is exhilarating, hilarious and never forced, Scott McKendry makes magic of a Belfast that in other hands would make grim reading. The most exciting poet to come out of the north of Ireland in many years'' Louise Kennedy, author of Tresspasses''There is nothing else like this in Irish poetry. A lyrical savant of the highest level, and one of the most exciting writers in Ireland today, McKendry is utterly his own beast'' Michael Nolan, author of Close To Home''A distinctive and energetic voice'' Sunday Times Ireland''McKendry is a joyful liar, a storyteller... McKendry writes "life''s not synonymous with pain" and it''s this sense, of a kind of all-encompassing appetite, that marks him out as fine company'' Declan RyanDemons, geese, The Laughing Cow, marching bands, LSD and pistols smuggled home from the USSR. You''ll find all these in Scott McKendry''s GUB. Rooted in the language of working-class Belfast, and slipping between eras and time zones, closing the gap between the real and the fantastical, the academic and the everyday, the parish and the polis, McKendry''s exhilarating debut collection comes to terms with generational trauma, social decay and the rituals of a place with a fraught history and an uncertain future. Invoking the balaclava''d gunmen, urban warlords and explosions which gripped the decades either side of the Good Friday Agreement, GUB drags the language of ghettoised Belfast into serious Irish poetry. Wearing the lyrical influences of his ''ugly city'' lightly - Carson, McGuckian, Longley - McKendry''s tightly-wrought structures weave an unprecedented verse of mourning, witness, alter ego, class alienation and aesthetic turmoil. Noisy, dark and witty, GUB is an utterly new voice out of Belfast, but one posting bulletins across inner-city neighbourhoods everywhere.

Pořiďte si robustní zahradní posezení z exotické dřeviny akácie. Praktický set Scott pro čtyři osoby najde využití na zahradě, terase i v interiéru. Dřevěný set Scott se skládá ze stabilního čtvercového stolu a čtyř pevných židlí, což z něj dělá ideální posezení pro méně početnou rodinu. Nábytek je zhotoven z dřeva akácie v nadčasové hnědé barvě s efektem starého dřeva. Snadno ho sladíte s okolím, ať už bude zdobit vaši terasu, zimní zahradu, či restauraci. Největší předností je vysoká nosnost židlí (110 kg), bytelnost a kvalitní zpracování dřeva. Židle lze stohovat na sebe pro snadné skladování.

With an Introduction and Notes by David Blair.From its first publication in 1816 Rob Roy has been recognised as containing some of Scott''s finest writing and most engaging, fully realised characters. The outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor was already a legendary, disputed figure by the time Scott wrote - a heroic Scottish Robin Hood to some, an over-glamorised, unprincipled predator to others.Scott approaches Rob Roy indirectly, through the adventures of his fictional hero, Frank Osbaldistone, amid the political turmoil of England and Scotland in 1715. With characteristic care Scott reconstructs the period and settings so as to place Rob Roy and the Scotland he inhabits amid conflicting moral, economic and historical forces.This edition features, besides a new critical introduction and extensive explanatory notes, an essay outlining clearly the novel''s historical context and a glossary of Scottish words and phrases used by Scott''s colourful, vernacular characters.

Kdybyste si ve čtyřicátých letech minulého století pořídili knihu o kompozici, uvnitř byste našli kapitoly „Pravidlo třetin“, „Vodicí linie“ a „Využití vzorů“. Takové „vodicí linie“ jsou známé už od 18. století, ale stále se o nich učíme. Tyto poučky fungují dobře, ale ani zdaleka nepokrývají komplexní podstatu kompozice. Musí v tom být přece něco víc, jinak by už všichni byli mistry, ne? Toto je první kniha, která překračuje zažitá pravidla kompozice opakovaná v každém textu o fotografování. Scott Kelby sdílí dosud nevyslovené myšlenky a odhaluje některá z nejstřeženějších tajemství fotografie v přelomové publikaci, jež se svým zpracováním hodí do učeben i do kavárny. Kniha Kompozice má schopnost změnit způsob, jakým se díváte kolem sebe a jak odteď budete vytvářet své další snímky. Naučíte se, jak pracovat se scénou, pokud jde o fotografování krajiny, cestování i portréty, a získáte spoustu cenných rad, jak krok za krokem postupovat. Navíc se dozvíte, co dělat, když neexistují žádné vodicí čáry a nefunguje ani pravidlo třetin, nebo jak se přizpůsobit okolním podmínkám a jak to může proměnit kompozici vašeho snímku. Dodejte fotografiím hloubku a vyvolejte jimi emoce, které diváka vtáhnou a nepustí! Kniha mimo jiné obsahuje kapitolu s tipy a triky, a dokonce krátkou část o klasických pravidlech kompozice. Každému z tradičních pravidel je spravedlivě věnována jedna stránka – jsou krátké a Scott Kelby v nich jde rovnou k věci. Díky autorovu neformálnímu stylu, který je pro něj typický, se můžete soustředit na tipy, které přesahují rámec zažitých pravidel. Připravte se přehodnotit všechno, co znáte, a vyfoťte přesně takové snímky, o jakých jste vždy snili. O autorovi: Scott Kelby je světově nejprodávanější autor fotografických knih a také redaktor a vydavatel časopisu Lightroom Magazine, producent LightroomKillerTips.com, redaktor a vydavatel časopisu Photoshop User a také každý týden moderuje známý fotografický pořad The Grid. Scott je CEO KelbyOne.com, portálu zaměřeného na vzdělávání fotografů po celém světě. Je také oceňovaným autorem více než devadesáti knih, mimo jiné například pětidílné série Digitální fotografie, Photoshop – kanály, Adobe Photoshop – úpravy digitálních fotografií, To nejlepší z Digitální fotografie, Portrét v přirozeném světle a mnoho dalších knih o Photoshopu, Lightroomu a fotografii.

Dosud nikdy nepublikovaný rukopis, který ručně sepsal Scott Cunningham na počátku 70. let 20. století, byl nalezen v obálce z konopného papíru. Tato vzácná kniha obsahuje jeho vlastní autorská zaříkadla, rituály, invokace a rostlinný grimoár. V knize naleznete také Scottovy ručně kreslené znaky, symboly a runy. Od receptů na měsíční koláčky k žehnacím modlitbám a zaříkávadlům, které se dotýkají síly hvězd... Tato Kniha stínů obsahuje zaříkadla, rituály, invokace a znaky pro magickou korespondenci, které Scott Cunningham používal na počátku 80. let 20. století. Čtenáři, kteří jsou s jeho prací již obeznámeni, v této knize zaznamenají jeho pozitivní a povzbudivý tón, a praktický, uzemněný přístup ke každodennímu využití wiccanského „řemesla“. Cunninghamova Kniha stínů obsahuje také úvod sepsaný majitelem a ředitelem nakladatelství Llewelyn, Carlem Weschckem, a vzpomínky na Scotta, které sepsali jeho sestra, učitelka a blízcí přátelé. Scott Cunningham byl velmi oblíbeným autorem, jehož kniha Wicca: A Guide for Solitary Practicioner (Wicca: Průvodce pro osamocené praktiky) se stala klasikou a uvedla generace mladých čarodějů do základů wiccy. To, že obliba Cunninghamových knih o wicce a přírodní magii i nadále trvá, svědčí o tom, že jeho texty mají skutečnou moc a pravdivost. Nyní, více než dvacet let po své smrti, je Scott Cunningham stále ikonou a vysoce hodnocenou osobností ve wiccanské komunitě. Jeho knihy se považují za klasiku a jeho texty i nadále inspirují ty, kteří jsou v tomto řemesle noví.

We spend time in the Low because we''re human, not because we''re broken.In the Low is a collection of contemplative words and images for seasons of depression. It is a book designed to meet you where you are and sit with you there the way God does: intentionally and without judgment.For many of us, the question isn''t whether or not we will enter into depression but how to be there when we do. In those low places, we experience disconnection from others, from a meaningful life, and from God, and it can be difficult to know what to think or pray. This is where art and the honest prayers of others can help us name what we''re experiencing so we know we''re not alone. In the Low is designed to meet you in the dark and linger there with you as you sit under the weight of depression or despair. Instead of shaming you for how you feel, minimizing your pain, or suggesting quick fixes, Justin McRoberts and Scott Erickson offer you prayers in language and imagery that can help you be honest and vulnerable with yourself and with God. Featuring poetic prayers for deeper relationships, healing from trauma, a hopeful future, and more, In the Low meets you where you are in your journey and calls you deeper into the heart of God--who is not afraid of the dark."In the Low has a permanent spot on my bookshelf. I''m grateful for the unhurried connection Scott and Justin offer to us through their words, images, and humanity."--Emily P. Freeman, New York Times bestselling author of How to Walk into a Room"Here is a tender guide, not to answers but to the shared humanity of searching, waiting, and finding meaning in the in-between."--David Gungor, The Brilliance "I can offer no higher compliment than this: Someone I love dearly picked up this book during a stretch of pressing darkness, and it helped them."--Shauna Niequist, author of I Guess I Haven''t Learned That Yet"As someone who has wanted to end it all in her own season of depression, and who accompanies many others in theirs, In the Low is the gift I''ve longed for."--Tara Owens, executive director, Anam Cara Ministries, spiritual director, and author of Embracing the Body "Depression has a way of turning prayer into a foreign language, leaving us stammering in the dark for words we once spoke with ease. In the Low gives voice to those struck speechless by despair, honoring the sacred truth that faith often speaks through the shadows."--Jonathan Merritt, columnist and author of Learning to Speak God from Scratch "In the Low acts as a companion to our seasons of melancholy without rushing us to ''fix'' anything. It meets us where we are, as we are. This book resonates deeply within my angsty artist heart, and I''m so grateful it exists in the world."--Jess Janz, poet and founder of Dinner with Strangers "Scott and Justin created a hand to hold in the valley, and I''m grateful to the both of them for how warm it is."--Levi The Poet, spoken word artist "As I read the honest, simple prayers in this book and let the clear and powerful illustrations do their work on me, I felt: ''This will help, not hurt. This will help make things better, not worse.'' You will treasure this book, I predict, and come back to it again and again."--Brian D. McLaren, author of Faith After Doubt and Life After Doom"In the Low is accompaniment for the places inside that deserve to be known, the wordless places that need words, the dark and diffuse places that need form and shape."--Dr. Hillary L. McBride, psychologist, podcast host, author, and mother"In the Low is a warm, tender, desperately needed book that doesn''t speak about the ache but from inside of it. This is the rare work of ''spirituality'' that is not abstract, detached, clichéd, or avoidant but instead gives us the language to speak the unspeakable."--Jonathan Martin, author of How to Survive a Shipwreck and The Road Away from God "In the Low is both simple and subversive, inviting us not simply into peace but fuller personhood."--K.J. Ramsey, licensed therapist and author of The Book of Common Courage"Encounter this book on its own terms. Encounter this book at the necessarily slow pace of God. And above all, encounter this book and come to know the joy of the God of the Low."--Curt Thompson, MD, author of The Deepest Place and The Soul of Desire"In the Low gives us permission to name the ache in our hearts without rushing to fix it. What a relief to discover honest prayers and art that offer a flicker of hope for the dark nights of the soul."--Kayla Craig, author of Every Season Sacred and To Light Their Way and creator of Liturgies for Parents"Through this book, Justin and Scott offer us words, images, and their own selves in ways that gently dispel that piece of the darkness and give us a sense of companions who see us, know us, and care."--Donna Hatasaki, senior director of spiritual formation, Young Life"Dark seasons aren''t optional--they''re the price of admission for being human.

Scott Schuman, a.k.a. The Sartorialist, has been traveling to India for over a decade to capture its wildly original beauty in markets, music festivals, city streets, and cricket fields, and across cities like Delhi, Jaipur, Chennai, and Mumbai. The result gathers all the unique qualities that have brought him worldwide renown: a photojournalist´s eye, a humanist´s empathy, and a fashion aficionado´s appreciation for design. An intoxicating mix of color, pattern, and texture, The Sartorialist: India is a photographic tribute to the country´s diversity and splendor. Famed American photographer and blogger Scott Schuman journeyed to India many times to capture its wildly idiosyncratic styles, whether on the streets, in markets, on the cricket fields, or at residences in cities like Delhi, Jaipur, Pushkar, and Mumbai. Schuman´s affinity for his subjects is evident, and he celebrates people of all ages and from all walks of life, from ravers, transgender subjects, wrestlers, surfers, grandfathers, and fashionistas to children and laborers. He also shines a light on the new India as much as on the time-honored. The casually chic layering of textiles, the enduring prevalence of traditional attire, and India´s pure physical beauty all add up to a richly satisfying visual and cultural experience. The images are also illuminated by an introduction by the acclaimed fashion writer Bandana Tewari. This vibrant monograph is Schuman´s first for TASCHEN, and it showcases all the unique qualities that have brought him worldwide renown: a photojournalist´s eye for a decisive moment, a humanist´s sense of empathy, and a fashion aficionado´s appreciation for design. The photographer Based in New York City, Scott Schuman had worked in fashion marketing and branding when, in the early 2000s, he began casually photographing stylish people he encountered on the street and posting the images to a blog he called The Sartorialist. Schuman quickly garnered an avid following, and went on to shoot campaigns for Gap, Verizon, Nespresso, DKNY Jeans, Absolut, and Burberry. His work resides in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography.

Revealing the breadth of F. Scott Fitzgerald''s gift for the short story form, this Penguin Classics edition of The Case of Benjamin Button and Six Other Stories spans multiple genres and styles to dazzling effect.Full grown with a long, smoke-coloured beard, requiring the services of a cane and fonder of cigars than warm milk, Benjamin Button is a very curious baby indeed. And, as Benjamin becomes increasingly youthful with the passing years, his family wonders why he persists in the embarrassing folly of living in reverse. In this imaginative fable of ageing and the other stories collected here - including ''The Cut-Glass Bowl'' in which an ill-meant gift haunts a family''s misfortunes, ''The Four Fists'' where a man''s life shaped by a series of punches to his face, and the revelry, mobs and anguish of ''May Day'' - F. Scott Fitzgerald displays his unmatched gift as a writer of short stories.''The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'', originally published in 1922, was made into a major motion picture directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton.F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) has acquired a mythical status in American literary history, and his masterwork The Great Gatsby is considered by many to be the ''great American novel''. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre, dubbed ''the first American Flapper'', and their traumatic marriage and Zelda''s gradual descent into insanity became the leading influence on his writing. As well as many short stories, Fitzgerald wrote five novels This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and, incomplete at the time of his death, The Last Tycoon. After his death The New York Times said of him that ''in fact and in the literary sense he created a "generation" ''.If you enjoyed The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, you might like Fitzgerald''s The Great Gatsby, also available in Penguin Classics.''A master of the American short story''The Philadelphia Enquirer''His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly''s wings'' Ernest Hemingway

A beautiful new edition of F. Scott Fitzgerald''s classic novel The Great Gatsby to coincide with the release of Baz Luhrmann''s film.''There was music from my neighbour''s house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.''Everybody who is anybody is seen at the glittering parties held in millionaire Jay Gatsby''s mansion in West Egg, east of New York. The riotous throng congregates in his sumptuous garden, coolly debating Gatsby''s origins and mysterious past. None of the frivolous socialites understands him and among various rumours is the conviction that ''he killed a man''. A detached onlooker, Gatsby is oblivious to the speculation he creates, but always seems to be watching and waiting, though no one knows what for.As writer Nick Carraway is drawn into this decadent orbit, Gatsby''s destructive dreams and passions are revealed, leading to disturbing and tragic consequences.''Not only a page turner and heartbreaker, it''s one of the most quintessentially American novels ever written'' TimeF. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St Paul, Minnesota in 1896. He studied at Princeton University before joining the army in 1917. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their traumatic relationship and subsequent breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and The Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work); six volumes of short stories and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. F. Scott Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.

The Beautiful and Damned, F. Scott Fitzgerald's second novel, tells the story of Anthony Patch, a 1920s socialite and presumptive heir to a tycoon's fortune. Anthony and his wife Gloria are young and gorgeous, rich and leisured, and dedicate their lives to the reckless pursuit of happiness. But this intimate story turns tragic, as their marriage disintegrates under the weight of their expectations, dissipation, jealousy and aimlessness. Fitzgerald skilfully portrays the east-coast elite as the Jazz Age begins its ascent, engulfing all classes into what will soon be known as Cafe Society. As with all of Fitzgerald's novels, it is a brilliant character study written in breathtaking prose. It is also a gripping account of the complexities of marriage, largely based on Fitzgerald's relationship with his wife, Zelda. Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. Author Information F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was born into a well-to-do Catholic family living in St Paul, Minnesota. At Princeton University he decided to become a writer, leaving without graduating in 1917 to join the army when America entered the First World War. Believing he would be killed at the front, he hurriedly wrote his first novel, but was not sent to Europe. His first novel, This Side of Paradise (1920) was published to great critical acclaim. He married Zelda Sayle a week after the publication and they embarked on an extravagant lifestyle in New York, which provided much material for The Beautiful and Damned (1922). By this time their daughter, Scottie, had been born, Scott and Zelda had moved to Long Island, which was to be the setting of Fitzgerald's next novel, The Great Gatsby (1925). His fourth novel Tender is the Night, was published in 1934.

Eventually, Nick becomes aware of Gatsby's intense interest in his cousin Daisy Buchanan, and when Daisy's brutish husband, Tom, probes Gatsby's background, he uncovers unsavory revelations about his rival's wealth. First published in 1925, F.Scott Fitzgerald's third novel offers a definitive portrait of the opulence and recklessness of the Jazz Age. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald was first published in 1925.Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, New York, it tells the story of Jay Gatsby, a wealthy, mysterious, and complex man driven by an obsession with his past, and Daisy Buchanan, a married woman he loved in his youth. Considered one of the greatest novels ever written, it explores the themes of love, loss, and the American Dream. The Great Gatsby has been adapted numerous times for film, most recently in 2013 starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby.Despite its commentary on a different time period in American history, the story is particularly relevant today—contrasting the glamorous lives of the wealthy with the realities beneath the surface and revealing the fallacy of the American Dream.

POETRY BOOK SOCIETY CHOICEReverberating with risk, this collection negotiates the darkness of injury, the potency and pain of revelation, and agency as song.For years I had no sound but his sweetness, his lye. Thus I go slow. I song last. Least. The lower.That which I had nor sound I may still song. Trauma and vulnerability – violation and its aftershock – are explored within a framework of self-determination and radical queerness in Richard Scott''s second collection. In three distinct yet interlocking parts, he documents what it is to have survived ''seismic assaults, the buried silences''. This is first pursued through still-life paintings, controlled arrangements in which time is frozen. In ''Coy'', the lexicon of Andrew Marvell''s ''To His Coy Mistress'' is repurposed to enact the collapse of language under the strain of description, punctuated by scalding direct statement. In the luminous title sequence, crystals and gemstones evoke themes of fracture and fixative, demonstrating Scott''s power as a poet who casts an uncompromising but ultimately uplifting light. ‘A luminous, uneasily beautiful set of poems.’ Rebecca Tamas, Guardian (Best Recent Poetry roundup)Praise for Soho:‘Scott’s project is as political as it is personal, and the kaleidoscopic picture of contemporary queerness he builds through these poems is as urgent as it is alluring.’ A. K. Blakemore, Poetry London‘With his electric Soho, Richard Scott has arrived like a lightning bolt in our midst. In poetry that moves so fast we’re left breathless, this is protean, irreverent, urgent work.’ Sinéad Morrissey, T. S.

Uncover the transformative power of composition and elevate your photography!If you bought a book from the 1940s on photography composition, what would you imagine its chapters might be? “Rule of Thirds”? “Leading Lines”? “Using Patterns”? Exactly. Heck, the phrase “leading lines” in photography composition was first used back in the late 1700s, but after all this time, we’re still teaching these rules of composition. Why? It’s probably because they actually work pretty well, but they only scratch the surface of composition. After all, there has got to be more to great composition than just those rules or everybody would already be a composition master, right?That’s what sets Crush the Composition apart. Written by photographer and best-selling author Scott Kelby, it’s the first book of its kind to take you beyond the time-honored rules of composition covered in every book on composition since the beginning of photography and share the concepts that nobody has been talking about—until now. These are some of the best-kept secrets in photography, and Scott unveils them all here in this groundbreaking new book whose layout and design put one leg in the classroom and one leg on the coffee table. You’re holding a book that has the power to transform the way you see, frame, and create images from this day forward because it will give you a clear plan of exactly what to do when you pick up your camera and start to frame up your shot.You’ll learn exactly how to “work the scene” when it comes to photographing landscapes, travel, and even portraits, along with what to do first, what to do next, and how to move step by step through the process. Plus, you’ll learn:• What to do when the classic rules don’t apply (for example, what you can do if there are no leading lines or using the rule of thirds doesn’t work).• How to vary your settings and how it can change your composition. Plus, you’ll learn not only when to do it but, most importantly, why you’d want to in the first place.• How to add depth to your images, so they go from looking flat to having that deep, epic feeling that draws the viewer into your image.• How to compose for great-looking portraits and why certain composition decisions can make your subject look their very best.• How to use sharpness and depth of field to your advantage and how they play into your entire composition (it’s more powerful than you’d think).You’ll also find a chapter on composition tips and tricks, and there’s even a short chapter that covers those classic rules of composition. But, instead of dedicating an entire chapter to each rule, each one is just one page—they’re short, sweet, and to the point, so you get them out of the way fast. They’re still valid, but the way Scott describes them, in his trademark casual style, all you’ll need is that one page and you’ll totally “get” them. That way, you can focus on the stuff that goes way beyond just those classic rules.It’s all here in the only book of its kind, so get ready to rethink everything and come away with the type of images you’ve always dreamed of creating.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Seeing DifferentlyChapter 2: Work the SceneChapter 3: Change Your PerspectiveChapter 4: Work the SharpnessChapter 5: Work the SettingsChapter 6: Add Depth to Your CompositionChapter 7: The Power of SimplicityChapter 8: Composition for PortraitsChapter 9: How to Critique Your Own WorkChapter 10: Composition TipsChapter 11: The Classic Rules of CompositionChapter 12: The Numbers Behind the Pixels

James C. Scott reframes rivers as alive and dynamic, revealing the consequences of treating them as resources for our profit A New Yorker Best Book of the Year “Informative, enjoyable, and provocative. . . . Scott’s [prose] is dry, clear, and scalding with moral purpose.”—Becca Rothfeld, Washington Post Rivers, on a long view, are alive. They are born; they change; they shift their channels; they forge new routes to the sea; they move both gradually and violently; they can teem (usually) with life; they may die a quasi-natural death; they are frequently maimed and even murdered.  It is the annual flood pulse—the brief time when the river occupies the floodplain—that gives a river its vitality, but it is human engineering that kills it, suppressing the flood pulse with dams, irrigation, siltation, dikes, and levees. In demonstrating these threats to the riverine world, award-winning author James C. Scott examines the life history of a particular river, the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) of Burma, the heartland and superhighway of Burman culture.  Scott opens our understanding of rivers to encompass their entirety—tributaries, wetlands, floodplains, backwaters, eddies, periodic marshlands, and the assemblage of life forms dependent on rivers for their existence and well-being. For anyone interested in the Anthropocene and the Great Acceleration, rivers offer a striking example of the consequences of human intervention in trying to control and domesticate a natural process, the complexity and variability of which we barely understand.

“This work is a profound and fundamental contribution to the issues addressed.”—Sociology  “Vital to an understanding of peasant politics.”—Library Journal  James C. Scott places the critical problem of the peasant household—subsistence—at the center of this study. The fear of food shortages, he argues persuasively, explains many otherwise puzzling technical, social, and moral arrangements in peasant society, such as resistance to innovation, the desire to own land even at some cost in terms of income, relationships with other people, and relationships with institutions, including the state.  Once the centrality of the subsistence problem is recognized, its effects on notions of economic and political justice can also be seen. Scott draws from the history of agrarian society in lower Burma and Vietnam to show how the transformations of the colonial era systematically violated the peasants’ “moral economy” and created a situation of potential rebellion and revolution.  Demonstrating keen insights into the behavior of people in other cultures and a rare ability to generalize soundly from case studies, Scott offers a different perspective on peasant behavior that will be of interest particularly to political scientists, anthropologists, sociologists, and Southeast Asianists.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE T. S. ELIOT PRIZESHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA POETRY AWARDSHORTLISTED FOR THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST FIRST COLLECTIONSHORTLISTED FOR THE POLARI FIRST BOOK PRIZEIn this intimate and vital debut, Richard Scott creates an uncompromising portrait of love and gay shame. Examining how trauma becomes a part of the language we use, Scott takes us back to our roots: childhood incidents, the violence our scars betray, forgotten forebears and histories. The hungers of sexual encounters are underscored by the risks that threaten when we give ourselves to or accept another. But the poems celebrate joy and tenderness, too, as in a sequence re-imagining the love poetry of Verlaine.The collection crescendos to Scott''s tour de force, ''Oh My Soho!'', where a night stroll under the street lamps of Soho Square becomes a search for true lineage, a reclamation of stolen ancestors, hope for healing, and, above all, the finding of our truest selves.
