| Description: |
Published to tie in with National Poetry Week, this collection is a witty anthology designed as an antidote to the stresses of 21st century living, with poems by writers as diverse as Ovid and Wendy Cope, as well as previously unpublished poets. |
| Synopsis: |
More witty and stylish poetic therapy for the Venus and Mars generation. This is the happy successor to the wonderfully popular 101 Poems To Save Your Life. Published to tie in with National Poetry Week, 101 Poems to Get You Through the Day (and Night) is a witty and stylish anthology designed as an antidote to the stresses of twenty-first century living. To help you find the right poem at the right time, day or night, 24-7, the book is arranged like a book of hours. Starting with 'Getting Out Of Bed', it then moves on to those other morning traumas: Stepping On The Scales and Looking In the Mirror. As the day moves on there are sections covering everything from Office Politics to the School Run. And if by 5 p.m. your head is throbbing, the poems in the Take 5 section will help the world recede. For readers who are considering having a quick one of whatever variety, the 'Going Home' collection should keep you on the straight and narrow; but if it is too late for second thoughts then turn to the 'Behaving Badly' poems which will equip you with all the excuses you need.And for anyone who feels vaguely guilty about settling down in front of the TV instead of taking cafe society by storm then turn to the poems in the 'Not Tonight' section. From life's major crises to its minor irritations. There are poems for ancient miseries like toothache and relationship problems to those for more modern afflictions such as dieting, driving tests and the computer helpline. The poems here include both classics and contemporary works. |

Franklin
In 1845 Captain Sir John Franklin led a large, well equipped expedition to complete the conquest of the Canadian Arctic, to find the fabled North West Passage connecting the North Atlantic to the North Pacific. Yet Franklin, his ships and men were fated never to return. Why did this outstanding scientific navigator find his ships trapped in pack ice seventy miles from magnetic north? In this riveting story of the Arctic, Andrew Lambert discovers a new Franklin: a character far more complex, and more truly heroic, than previous histories have allowed.
