The boards are clean, with just a couple of small marks on the back board near the spine. Edges of boards slightly rubbed. Head and tail of spine slightly creased. Page block edges nice and clean. Internally also near fine, with a neat ownership name to the top corner of the front free endpaper. Pages clean and unmarked. No foxing. No creases or tears. No reading lean.

The dustwrapper is largely complete, with just some loss at the top edge of the back panel. Edges of dustwrapper slightly creased and rubbed, with a couple of small closed tears. Tiny loss and rubbing to corners of dustwrapper. Spine lettering slightly faded. The back panel is marked, being all white, but the dustwrapper is otherwise bright. ***189 pages. 205mm x 136mm. ***'The first volume of "New Writing", Mr. Lehmann reminds us in his introduction, was published in the Spring of 1936. Only two out of the twenty contributions in that volume were poetry, but during the ten years which have elapsed since then poetry has played a far greater and more important role, both in the six-monthly volumes published as books and in the more frequent volumes of "The Penguin New Writing" which began in 1941. Nearly all the significant poets of these years appeared in the pages of "New Writing", some of them for the first time and many with poems which are considered among their most memorable. "New Writing" has always been specially interested in those poems which are a mirror of the stormy epoch in which they are written; in translations from modern European poets; and in poems which are not too long for the average weekly or monthly; all these characteristics will be found in the present anthology, which stands also for judgement as a record of one man's taste and the encouragement he endeavoured to give to the making of poetry--to the building of dykes,--during ten years of flood weather.' (Quote taken from the flaps of the dustwrapper) ***First printing of the true first edition, published to post-war economy standards, with an almost complete very fragile original dustwrapper. Uncommon thus. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…

Condizione: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Civic engagement in this book is understood to include attendance at booked National Health Service appointments; compulsory attendance at school; the take-up of a variety of State benefits in cash and kind, such as Pension Credit and free school meals; and attendance at work. This book is the outcome of a collaborative exercise, in which specialists in a variety of disciplines have come together to better understand the state of civic engagement in the fields of health, education, social security, and employment. Their research is drawn primarily from the British experience, but the phenomena studied are international in scope. Generally, civic engagement has been improving, but in certain areas there are serious gaps that still need addressing. Administrative arrangements are shown to reduce absence for booked appointments, without necessarily making referred patients more or less likely to attend. A variety of measures are suggested for truancy, and the take-up of social security benefits faces a number of issues. Work absence attributed to sickness is at least partly viewed as a psychosocial problem. Economic analysis shows the importance of incentives, and the potential cost of changing from selective to the universal provision of free school meals. Taken together, the sociological analysis in the book highlights the fragmentation of society and its consequences for civic engagement. This book was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Social Science.…
