Pluto -- the non-planet the ex-planet -- is the dominant celestial influence in Glyn Maxwell's new collection: Pluto is a book about change the before-&-after of love the aftermath of loss: change of status & station home & place of tense & pronoun. It also marks a radical departure for one of our most celebrated English poets: his formidable skills as a rhetorician & dramatist are suddenly directed inwardly to produce poems of brutal self-examination raw elegy & strange songs of the kind those bruising encounters often leave us singing to ourselves. In Pluto Maxwell has set out something like a metaphysic of the affair; the result is a lean & concentrated poetry of great emotional power & far & away Glyn Maxwell's most directly personal work to date. ...

As Chrystia Freelands new book Plutocrats" shows the rich really are different... There has always been some gap between rich & poor but it has never been wider
- & now the rich are getting wealthier at such breakneck speed that the middle classes are being squeezed out. While the wealthiest 10 per cent of Americans for example receive half the nations income the real money flows even higher up in the top 0.1 per cent. As a transglobal class of highly successful professionals these self-made oligarchs often have more in common with one another than with their own countrymen. But how is this happening & who are the people making it happen? Chrystia Freeland acclaimed business journalist & Global Editor-at-Large of Reuters has unprecedented access to the richest & most successful people on the planet from Davos to Dubai & dissects their lives with intelligence empathy & objectivity.

Post-war reconstruction offered unparalleled opportunities to the developing profession of urban planners to cast off the constraints imposed by historic infrastructure & produce a new vision of urban living expressed in rationally designed city centres linked to suburban precincts & with modern integrated transport systems. Plymouth is the foremost English example of post-war reconstruction on the grand scale laid out to the designs of the most influential urban planner of the day Sir Patrick Abercrombie. This book explains the circumstances which led to the development of Abercrombies Plan for Plymouth (1943) & shows how the plan was implemented in the period 1945-62. Discussion of the overall scheme for the renewed city is complemented by description of the different zones which made up both the central area & the new suburbs & attention is paid to the landscape forms & architectural styles employed in civic commercial & residential areas. The significance of what was achieved in Plymouth will be assessed & international context is provided by comparison with British & European examples of contemporary planning. Urban regeneration programmes pose a threat to the legacy of the post-war reconstruction period & the listing of post-war buildings is often contentious & contested. Finally a discussion of the conservation issues raised by present-day plans for renewal in Plymouth will contribute to current debate about the formulation of policy relating to the buildings & landscapes of the post-war era. ...
