John Watson

This guide introduces the climber to the bouldering around and within Glasgow, Scotland's biggest city.

In Four Refrains, John Watson has invented a kaleidoscope of glittering facets. A curious incident from the life of the Surrealist Magritte; a sequence in four parts which won the Blake Prize for Poetry; an extended tribute to the poet Wislawa Szymborska, the cigarette-smoking Nobel Prizewinner, who left a remarkably small body of work; and, finally, a second amusing incident involving a work by the modernist artist, Cy Twombly. Each of these Refrains demonstrates Watson's verve and readiness to explore untrodden ways.

Mick Hill’s colourful book is packed with his signature artwork, and skilfully showcases the cars, drivers and designers that contributed to the history of Formula 1. Beginning with the flags for hosting countries, it goes on to show every winning car, with details of its designers, drivers and races won. The book also considers drivers’ helmets, from historic leather caps to modern carbon fibre, as well as the world championship stickers from teams and sponsors, a memento for fans of the race meetings they attended. A complete reference of 75 years of the F1 championship, this book will appeal to motor racing fans young and old.

The rewriting of prose texts in iambics is perhaps primarily a way of reading them with deliberation; the texts here - favourites of course - have much in common. Those from Lampedusa posit the possibility of extraordinary events. Similarly, 'Sylvie' depends on extremities of tenderness exemplified by the scene in the Othys section when the narrator and Sylvie, descending the stairs, stage a re-enactment. And in the scene from Dali's novel Hidden Faces there is something in common with the luminous return to life near the end of The Count of Monte Cristo (which itself has echoes of the rapt statue scene in The Winter's Tale). To render these theatrical interludes in verse is of course an indulgence but also, it is hoped, a tribute and an invitation.

Suchen Sie eine verscharfte Abwechslung zu Ihren normalen Eroeffnungen? Moechten Sie etwas Aufregendes und Neues ausprobieren? Moechten Sie erfahrene Gegner uberraschend aus dem Gleichgewicht bringen? Nur zu - mit John Watsons Gefahrliche Waffen - Franzoesisch liegen Sie genau richtig!Ihr Ziel besteht darin, mit den Leserinnen und Lesern die zahlreichen schlagkraftigen Ideen einer Eroeffnung zu erkunden und daraus "gefahrliche Waffen" zu entwickeln. Wer auf diesen Pfaden unterwegs ist, kann leicht auch einmal einen starkeren Spieler aus dessen "Eroeffnungsbahn" werfen. Dies gelingt vor allem dann, wenn der andere das Pech hat, Gefahrliche Waffen noch nicht zu kennen. Die von Franzoesisch-Experte John Watson hier vorgestellten "Waffen" der Franzoesischen Verteidigung sind innovativ, brandgefahrlich und unglaublich raffiniert. Auch einige zu Unrecht verworfene Varianten werden neu entdeckt. Der Internationale Meister John Watson ist ein angesehener Autor. Zahlreiche Preise hat er bereits gewonnen. Seine Bucher werden von Lesern und Kritikern gleichermassen gelobt.

The idea of retelling theatre stories began with a second-hand copy of Donald Sinden's Theatrical Anecdotes. Other anthologies, biographies and histories followed. Widening circles of biblio-graphies soon spread out into earlier anthologies and accounts, from practitioners within the theatre - Oxberry, Bunn, Wilkinson, Macready - as well as from the memoirs of ardent theatregoers - Pepys, Hunt, Moore, Haydon... But the remarkable degree to which certain stories are repeated again and again makes specific acknowledgment of sources impossible. For example, Macklin's final octogenarian appearance as Shylock, Barrymore's hurling of a fish from the stage, Charles Kemble's treatment of a crying child in the audience, Garrick's parsimony, Ralph Richardson's parrot, Barry's and Garrick's competing Romeos - these are typical of hundreds of set pieces which recur almost obsessively. And the same blunder or witticism may well be attributed to a surprisingly large cast.

When, during the tumultuous 1976 Formula 1 season, Niki Lauda nearly perished in a conflagration at the Nurburgring and then, severely scarred, courageously fought back to race again only six weeks later, the Austrian earned admiration and adulation world-wide. While the saga of that year, and the battle with James Hunt for the World Championship, has been told many times, the rest of Lauda's racing has received less attention. This new book redresses that by documenting, race by race, his diverse driving career from 1968 to 1985. Through detailed dissection of each of his 328 races, in an eclectic mix of cars, a vivid picture emerges of a hugely determined and vastly talented racer who, despite many setbacks, left a remarkable legacy. All enthusiasts will treasure this comprehensive and richly illustrated examination of Niki Lauda's entire competition history.

The politesse of Twelfth Century ballades and rondeaux, rendered with a view to accuracy in assonance; the politic egotism of Benjamin Constant and Germaine de Sta l (and their mutually consuming passion in coach and salon); the political incorrectness - and worse - of Galina Breznheva: these are the similar and dissimilar elements which make up John Watson's Triptych.John Watson has established himself as one of Australia's most interesting and innovative poets.
