ISBN: 9780226750361 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "The Last Happy Occasion" is the coming-of-age story of an American Jew and aspiring writer in the sixties and seventies. In this memoir in six movements, Alan Shapiro recalls how poetry helped him make sense of his own and other people's lives. Events unfold, including his sister's death, that make him reconsider the transformative power of art and accept the limitations of poetry in confronting the untransformable pain of mortal loss.
A refreshingly honest, lovingly crafted work, "The Last Happy Occasion" is a treasure map for anyone interested in exploring the intersections of life and...

According to Dr. Alan Shapiro, the personality traits that cause problems in your everyday life can also wreak havoc on your golf game. If you're a worrier, chances are you're also anxious at the tee. If you're a control freak, you probably overanalyze your swing and tend to freeze up over the ball. If you have a short fuse, there is a good chance you're a club thrower. Using his experience as a psychologist and a devoted golfer, Dr. Shapiro has identified six major golf personality types or "Mental Hazards." Just take the simple,... What's Your Golf Personality?

Tantalus in Love
ISBN: 9780618773640 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Alan Shapiro is at his most passionate in this collection. A work full of life, jealousy, lust, and romantic abandon, Tantalus in Love begins with the sorrow of a disintegrating marriage, with its anger and suspicion, its hurt and rage, but moves on to celebrate the resilience of love after loss and the awakening glory of an amorous middle age. Reinventing myth and symbol in lyrical portraits of astounding resonance, Shapiro's poems yearn with hesitant love, heated at renewal, fragile but intensified by past experience of love's evanescence and uncertainty.

Life Pig
ISBN: 9780226404172 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From Let Me Hear You Outside is inside now.
The pyramid whose point we are is weightless and invisible and has become itself the night in which alone together on a high plateau we go on shouting out whatever name those winds keep blowing back into the mouth that's shouting it. Alan Shapiro's newest book of poetry is situated at the intersection between private and public history, as well as individual life and the collective life of middle-class America in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Whether writing about an aged and... From Let Me Hear You Outside is inside now.

That Self-Forgetful Perfectly Useless Concentration
ISBN: 9780226416953 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. More than a gathering of essays, That Self-Forgetful Perfectly Useless Concentration is part memoir, part literary criticism, and an artful fusion of the two. It is an intimate portrait of a life in poetry that only Alan Shapiro could have written. In this book, Shapiro brings his characteristic warmth, humor, and many years as both poet and teacher to bear on questions surrounding two preoccupations: the role of conventions--of literary and social norms--in how we fashion our identities on and off the page, and how suffering both requires and resists self-expression. He sketches...

The Courtesy
ISBN: 9780226750279 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this, his first book, Alan Shapiro vividly recreates some of the more memorable and poignant moments from his Jewish-American childhood, and in the process reveals his compassionate interest in the forgotten, the alienated, and the infirm. "The Courtesy" is an intelligent, reflective examination of the poet's own psychological history.
""The Courtesy" is really an admirable book: it shows up the unreality of a lot of the other poetry one reads, dealing honestly and with that perversity which is a sign of thoughfulness, with the slight but heavy matter of our everyday defeats." Michael... In this, his first book, Alan Shapiro vividly recreates some of the more memorable and poignant moments from his Jewish-American childhood, and in the...

Song and Dance
ISBN: 9780618382293 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 59 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The poems in Alan Shapiro's seventh collection, Song and Dance, intimately describe the complicated feelings that attend the catastrophic loss of a loved one. In 1998, Shapiro's brother, David, an actor on Broadway, was diagnosed with an incurable form of brain cancer. Song and Dance recounts the poet's emotional journey through the last months of his brother's life, exploring feelings too often ignored in official accounts of grief: horror, relief, impatience, exhaustion, exhilaration, fear, self-criticism, fulfillment.

Reel to Reel
ISBN: 9780226110639 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Reel to Reel, Alan Shapiro's twelfth collection of poetry, moves outward from the intimate spaces of family and romantic life to embrace not only the human realm of politics and culture but also the natural world, and even the outer spaces of the cosmos itself. In language richly nuanced yet accessible, these poems inhabit and explore fundamental questions of existence, such as time, mortality, consciousness, and matter. How did we get here? Why is there something rather than nothing? How do we live fully and lovingly as conscious creatures in an unconscious universe with no ultimate...

Mixed Company, 1996
ISBN: 9780226750316 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Respected poet, teacher, and critic Alan Shapiro continues his much-acclaimed explorations of childhood, family, and marriage in "Mixed Company." Revealing a world troubled by difference while struggling toward commonality, and with equal attention to historical detail and the poetics of everyday life, from the mythic past to the abrasive intimacies of the present, Shapiro charts the many ways our social and sexual identities are formed, threatened, altered, and, for good or ill, preserved. Deeply felt and ambitious, "Mixed Company" is an extraordinary book by one of the leading poets writing...

The Optical Papers of Isaac Newton: Volume 1, the Optical Lectures 1670-1672
ISBN: 9780521155090 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 627 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The first volume of a three-volume complete edition of Newton's optical papers contains his Optical Lectures, delivered at Cambridge University between 1670 and 1672. The Lectures is Newton's first major scientific treatise, and consequently it represents a crucial link between his early years of discovery and his mature investigations and publications, such as the Optiks in 1704. It is divided into two parts: the first part devoted to color and the second to refraction. Originally published in 1984, this edition made available the complete text, together with translation and commentary, of...

Fits, Passions and Paroxysms: Physics, Method and Chemistry and Newton's Theories of Colored Bodies and Fits of Easy Reflection
ISBN: 9780521117555 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Building upon his pioneering investigation of the colours of thin films, Isaac Newton developed two influential theories, one on the structure of matter, explaining the colours of bodies and the other on fits, describing the periodicity of light. Professor Alan Shapiro, editor of The Optical Papers of Isaac Newton, recounts the development of these theories based on his study of Newton's unpublished manuscripts and analyses their experimental foundation. He also shows the essential role that Newton's philosophy of science played in the formulation and reception of these theories. The second...
