What is poetry? If music is sound organized in a particular way, poetry is a way of organizing language. It is language made special so that it will be remembered and valued. It does not always work-over the centuries countless thousands of poems have been forgotten. This little history is about some that have not.

John Carey tells the stories behind the world's greatest poems, from the oldest surviving one written nearly four thousand years ago to those being written today. Carey looks at poets whose works shape our views of the world, such as Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Whitman, and Yeats. He also looks at more recent poets, like Derek Walcott, Marianne Moore, and Maya Angelou, who have started to question what makes a poem "great" in the first place. This little history shines a light on the richness and variation of the world's poems-and the elusive quality that makes them all the more enticing.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13694296</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13694296</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carey, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/13694296981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781094152363/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[C++ Data Structures and Algorithm Design Principles]]></title><description><![CDATA[Get started with C++ programming by learning how to build applications using its data structures and algorithms
Key Features
Book Description
C++ is a mature multi-paradigm programming language that enables you to write high-level code with a high degree of control over the hardware. Today, significant parts of software infrastructure, including databases, browsers, multimedia frameworks, and GUI toolkits, are written in C++.

This book starts by introducing C++ data structures and how to store data using linked lists, arrays, stacks, and queues. In later chapters, the book explains the basic algorithm design paradigms, such as the greedy approach and the divide-and-conquer approach, which are used to solve a large variety of computational problems. Finally, you will learn the advanced technique of dynamic programming to develop optimized implementations of several algorithms discussed in the book.

By the end of this book, you will have learned how to implement standard data structures and algorithms in efficient and scalable C++ 14 code.
What you will learn
Who this book is for
This book is for developers or students who want to revisit basic data structures and algorithm design techniques. Although no mathematical background is required, basic knowledge of complexity classes and Big O notation along with a qualification in an algorithms course will help you get the most out of this book. Familiarity with C++ 14 standard is assumed.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C17509282</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C17509282</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carey, John, Doshi, Shreyans]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/17509282981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781838827915/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Duck Soup and Swansongs]]></title><description><![CDATA[Synopsis currently unavailable.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C14668003</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C14668003</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carey, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/14668003981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781760414849/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Unexpected Professor]]></title><description><![CDATA[Best known for his provocative take on cultural issues in The Intellectuals and the Masses and What Good Are the Arts?, John Carey describes in this warm and funny memoir the events that formed him - an escape from the London blitz to an idyllic rural village, army service in Egypt, an open scholarship to Oxford and an academic career that saw him elected, age 40, to Oxford's oldest English Literature professorship.He frankly portrays the snobberies and rituals of 1950s Oxford, but also his inspiring meetings with writers and poets - Auden, Graves, Larkin, Heaney - and his forty-year stint as a lead book-reviewer for the Sunday Times.This is a book about the joys of reading - in effect, an informal introduction to the great works of English literature. But it is also about war and family, and how an unexpected background can give you the insight and the courage to say the unexpected thing.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C15867204</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C15867204</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carey, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/15867204981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>An Oxford Life in Books</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780571310944/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Working Bassist]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Working Bassist, What You Really Need to Know to Survive in New York City Written for bassists and musicians alike, The Working Bassist, What You Really Need to Know to Survive in New York City, is designed to inform musicians and bassists interested in coming to New York City to pursue their musical endeavors.

Though best known as the author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell left an even more lastingly significant achievement in his voluminous essays, which dealt with all the great social, political, and literary questions of the day and exemplified an incisive prose style that is still universally admired. Included among the more than 240 essays in this volume are Orwell's famous discussion of pacifism, "My Country Right or Left," his scathingly complicated views on the dirty work of imperialism in "Shooting an Elephant," and his very firm opinion on how to make "A Nice Cup of Tea." In his essays, Orwell elevated political writing to the level of art. His motivating ideas: his desire for social justice, his belief in universal freedom and equality, and his concern for truth in language are as enduringly relevant now, a hundred years after his birth, as ever.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1888467</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1888467</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Orwell, George]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2002 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1888467218</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780375415036/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Poems of John Milton]]></title><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1045797</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1045797</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Milton, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 1968 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1045797218</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780393043600/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life Among the Apaches]]></title><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1243284</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1243284</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cremony, John C.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 1868 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1243284218</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780809439560/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Swallowed Man]]></title><description><![CDATA["In the small Tuscan town of Collodi, a lonely woodcarver longs for the companionship of a son. One day, "as if the wood commanded me," Giuseppe--better known as Geppetto--carves for himself a pinewood boy, a marionette he hopes to take on tour worldwide. But when his handsome new creation comes magically to life, the woodcarver screams at him . . . and the boy, Pinocchio, leaps from his arms and escapes into the night. Though he returns the next day, the wily boy torments his father, challenging his authority and making up stories--whereupon his nose, the very nose his father carved, grows before his eyes like an antler. When the boy disappears after one last fight, the father follows a rumor to the coast and out into the sea, where he is swallowed by a great fish--and consumed by guilt, as he hunkers in the creature's belly awaiting the day when he will reconcile with the son he drove away."-- Publisher.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2282279</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2282279</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carey, Edward]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2282279218</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781910477700/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Edith Holler]]></title><description><![CDATA["The witty and entrancing story of a young woman trapped in a ramshackle English playhouse-and the mysterious figure who threatens the theater's very survival The year is 1901. England's beloved queen has died, and her aging son has finally taken the throne. In the eastern city of Norwich, bright and inquisitive young Edith Holler spends her days among the boisterous denizens of the Holler Theater, warned by her domineering father that the playhouse will literally tumble down if she should ever leave its confines. Fascinated by tales of the city she knows only from afar, she decides to write a play of her own: a stage adaptation of the legend of Mawther Meg, a vicious figure said to have used the blood of countless children to make the local delicacy known as Beetle Spread. But when her father suddenly announces his engagement to a peculiar, imposing woman named Margaret Unthank, heir to the actual Beetle Spread fortune, Edith scrambles to protect her father, the theater, and her play-the one thing that's truly hers-from the newcomer's sinister designs. Teeming with unforgettable characters, and illuminated by the author's trademark fantastical illustrations, Edith Holler is a surprisingly modern fable of one young woman's struggle to escape her family's control- and to reveal inconvenient truths about the way children are used" -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2370972</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2370972</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carey, Edward]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2370972218</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Containing Numerous Illustrations Drawn From the Life, Private Albums, and Extensive Card Theater Collection, of Edith Holler, Authoress</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593188903/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Little]]></title><description><![CDATA["The wry, macabre, unforgettable tale of an ambitious orphan in Revolutionary Paris, befriended by royalty and radicals, who transforms herself into the legendary Madame Tussaud" -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2226905</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2226905</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carey, Edward]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2226905218</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525534327/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Observatory Mansions]]></title><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1628292</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1628292</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carey, Edward]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1628292218</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780609606803/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nights of the Living Dead]]></title><description><![CDATA["In 1968 the world experienced a brand new kind of terror with the debut of George A.
