New English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. 162 p. Meditating on the works of contemporary American poets and environmental activists Gary Snyder and W. S. Merwin, Baris Agir explores the traces of two central cultures, the American Indian and Buddhism, in Snyder's and Merwin's poetics. The book culminates in a discussion of these poets' new mythic sense derived from non-Western origin which ultimately deconstructs the anthropocentric ethics and values of Western culture.

The first guide to Browsholme Hall and one of the rarest and finest of the genre. The guide was compiled by Thomas Lister Parker and "privately printed by the author for distribution among his friends. The sale was afterwards limited to 100 copies."?Upcott, p. 1410. The next historical guide was written by Colonel Robert Parker in 1957 when Browsholme Hall was opened to the public. Thomas Lister Parker (1779?1858) was born at Browsholme Hall and obtained possession of the family estate as soon as he came of age at the age of twenty-one. "He went on his grand tour in 1800, visiting France, Italy, and Russia, and returned home in 1801 with a collection of paintings, drawings, and prints. In 1805?7 he altered the sixteenth-century Browsholme Hall, using Jeffry Wyatt (later Sir Jeffry Wyatville) as architect to rebuild and extend the west wing: this provided a new drawing-room and dining-room, suitable for the display of his growing picture collection. Landscape gardening and forestry also engaged his interest. In the house he displayed a collection of antiquities, a feature of which was the creation of interiors evoking Browsholme's mainly Jacobethan past."?(Oxford DNB). Boyne CXCI; Upcott, pp. 1408-10.
