Evolutionary Naturalism in Victorian Britain The 'Darwinians' and their Critics

Evolutionary Naturalism in Victorian Britain The 'Darwinians' and their Critics

Scholars have tended to portray T. H. Huxley John Tyndall and their allies as the dominant cultural authority in the second half of the 19th century. Defenders of Darwin and his theory of evolution these men of science are often seen as a potent force for the secularization of British intellectual and social life. In this collection of essays Bernard Lightman argues that historians have exaggerated the power of scientific naturalism to undermine the role of religion in middle and late-Victorian Britain. The essays deal with the evolutionary naturalists especially the biologist Thomas Henry Huxley the physicist John Tyndall and the philosopher of evolution Herbert Spencer. But they look also at those who criticized this influential group of elite intellectuals including aristocratic spokesman A. J Balfour the novelist Samuel Butler and the popularizer of science Frank Buckland. Focusing on the theme of the limitations of the cultural power of evolutionary naturalism the volume points to the enduring strength of religion in Britain in the latter half of the 19th century. | Evolutionary Naturalism in Victorian Britain The 'Darwinians' and their Critics

The Rise of Analytic Philosophy 1879–1930 From Frege to Ramsey

The Rise of Analytic Philosophy 1879–1930 From Frege to Ramsey

In this book Michael Potter offers a fresh and compelling portrait of the birth of modern analytic philosophy viewed through the lens of a detailed study of the work of the four philosophers who contributed most to shaping it: Gottlob Frege Bertrand Russell Ludwig Wittgenstein and Frank Ramsey. It covers the remarkable period of discovery that began with the publication of Frege's Begriffsschrift in 1879 and ended with Ramsey's death in 1930. Potter—one of the most influential scholars of this period in philosophy—presents a deep but accessible account of the break with absolute idealism and neo-Kantianism and the emergence of approaches that exploited the newly discovered methods in logic. Like his subjects Potter focusses principally on philosophical logic philosophy of mathematics and metaphysics but he also discusses epistemology meta-ethics and the philosophy of language. The book is an essential starting point for any student attempting to understand the work of Frege Russell Wittgenstein and Ramsey as well as their interactions and their larger intellectual milieux. It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to cast light on current philosophical problems through a better understanding of their origins. | The Rise of Analytic Philosophy 1879–1930 From Frege to Ramsey

Foreign Direct Investment and Regional Development in East Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union A Collection of Essays in Memory of Pr

Foreign Direct Investment and Regional Development in East Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union A Collection of Essays in Memory of Pr

With the achievement of further EU and NATO enlargement a critical political and economic lens is now focused on East Central Europe and to a lesser extent the other former communist states. Economic growth in each transition state - and more broadly the region - pivots around the prospects for foreign direct investment (FDI) with decisions on where foreign investors will locate their projects now vitally important. This book - the first one devoted to a geographical survey concentrating specifically on FDI in the region - brings together a wide range of prominent authors from the US and Europe including the late Frank Carter to provide a timely and critical examination of the importance of foreign investment. It presents a detailed analysis of location patterns and their significance for regional development with particular emphasis given to the important socioeconomic and political consequences of uneven distribution of FDI across the region and its constituent countries. Divided into two parts the book first deals with general overarching themes and issues before applying these to more specific country case studies. The second part deals with regional studies focusing broadly on the Western Balkans and Bulgaria before looking at specific economic sectors in individual countries. | Foreign Direct Investment and Regional Development in East Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union A Collection of Essays in Memory of Pr

Honor-Based Violence Policing and Prevention

Honor-Based Violence Policing and Prevention

Honor-based violence (HBV) is a crime committed to protect or defend the honor of a family and/or a community. It is usually triggered by the victim’s behavior which the family and/or community regards as causing offense or dishonor. HBV has existed for thousands of years but has only very recently become a focus of law enforcement policy makers and statutory and non-statutory agencies. A volume in the Advances in Police Theory and Practice Series Honor-Based Violence: Policing and Prevention is designed to assist all those who confront these crimes in understanding what HBV is how it can be recognized and how we can support the victims families and communities that experience it. Topics include: An overview of what is known about the psychological and cultural factors relevant to understanding of HBV Gaps in current knowledge and the strengths and weaknesses of various investigative and management strategies Factors related to risk assessment of HBV Best practices based on the authors’ experience for individuals involved in all levels of policing HBV—from first responders to those involved in strategic management How working in partnership with multiple agencies can reduce risk support investigations and help protect victims The importance of sensitivity toward differences in race culture and religion The research and best practices are drawn largely from the work done by the Violent Crime Directorate of the Metropolitan Police Service (London UK) managed by authors Gerry Campbell and Glen Lloyd. The accessible style of this text makes it a valuable resource for law enforcement and policing professionals who investigate these crimes and a suitable textbook for policing and criminal justice courses. | Honor-Based Violence Policing and Prevention

Shipboard Life and Organisation 1731-1815

Shipboard Life and Organisation 1731-1815

The idea behind this volume according to its editor Brian Lavery was to give a rounded picture of life at sea during the age of sail. It concentrates on the daily routine of shipboard life rather than more dramatic events such as battles and mutiny. It supplements other volumes produced by the Navy Records Society notably Five Naval Journals 1789-1817 (vol 91 1951 ed H G Thursfield) and The Health of Seamen (vol 107 1965 ed C C Lloyd. )The selection begins in the second quarter of the eighteenth century because stated Brian Lavery ‘there are no suitable documents from earlier periods’ and closes in 1815 when the navy entered a new era with the advent of steam and a long period of peace. One of the most important aspects of shipboard life was that it was intensely self-contained especially in the later part of the age of sail. After the conquest of scurvy ships were able to stay at sea for many months at a time and the world-wide battle for empire caused them to make very long voyages often away from their home bases over a period of years. Even in port seamen often stayed on board and shore leave was not in any sense a right. This volume throws a spotlight on the way in which a crew of up to 850 men could be crammed into a small space for many months at a time and the ways in which they were fed clothed allocated space for eating and sleeping at the same time as they were organised for sailing and battle duties. It contains separate sections dealing with Admiralty Regulations Captain’s Orders Medical Journals discipline and punishment. It also includes an extensive glossary of the nautical terms and descriptions of the time. | Shipboard Life and Organisation 1731-1815

Imagination and the Imaginary

Imagination and the Imaginary

The concept of the imaginary is pervasive within contemporary thought yet can be a baffling and often controversial term. In Imagination and the Imaginary Kathleen Lennon explores the links between imagination - regarded as the faculty of creating images or forms - and the imaginary which links such imagery with affect or emotion and captures the significance which the world carries for us. Beginning with an examination of contrasting theories of imagination proposed by Hume and Kant Lennon argues that the imaginary is not something in opposition to the real but the very faculty through which the world is made real to us. She then turns to the vexed relationship between perception and imagination and drawing on Kant Merleau-Ponty and Sartre explores some fundamental questions such as whether there is a distinction between the perceived and the imagined; the relationship between imagination and creativity; and the role of the body in perception and imagination. Invoking also Spinoza and Coleridge Lennon argues that far from being a realm of illusion the imaginary world is our most direct mode of perception. She then explores the role the imaginary plays in the formation of the self and the social world. A unique feature of the volume is that it compares and contrasts a philosophical tradition of thinking about the imagination - running from Kant and Hume to Strawson and John McDowell - with the work of phenomenological psychoanalytic poststructuralist and feminist thinkers such as Merleau-Ponty Sartre Lacan Castoriadis Irigaray Gatens and Lloyd. This makes Imagination and the Imaginary essential reading for students and scholars working in phenomenology philosophy of perception social theory cultural studies and aesthetics.

Growing Through the Erotic Transference An Analysand's Journey

Growing Through the Erotic Transference An Analysand's Journey

The book offers an in-depth case study of the erotic transference experienced by a female analysand with her male analyst exploring how the shifting phases of erotic transference help the analysand to understand rediscover and redefine herself with transformative growth. The first half of the book tells the story of the analysis which is richly imbued with the erotic from the beginning. It describes the complexity of the relationship between analyst and analysand and how the patient is able to grow through experiencing analysing and progressing through the erotic transference. The second half of the book consists of five reflections highlighting relative blind spots in the current thinking on the erotic transference and countertransference. The author explores the dynamics of power potency and erotic turn-on between male analyst and female analysand and considers the implications for the erotic transference when the patient is a sexual abuse survivor. She also explores the nature of ‘transference love’ itself: whether it is ‘real love’ and how both members of the dyad can surrender to it enough to grow while not losing their bearings. The final reflection considers the role of the patient’s voice in the psychoanalytic literature and argues the need for more of such accounts to enrich our understanding of this vital area. Writing as the patient the author is able to share a remarkable frank and revealing glimpse into their personal experience of analysis making this book essential reading for psychoanalysts psychotherapists and anyone interested in understanding analysis in more depth. | Growing Through the Erotic Transference An Analysand's Journey

Design of Shallow and Deep Foundations

Design of Shallow and Deep Foundations

Design of Shallow and Deep Foundations introduces the concept of limit state calculations before focusing on shallow and deep foundations. The limit state combinations of actions are examined and practical calculation models of the bearing capacity and of the settlement are presented particularly from the results of Ménard pressuremeter tests and cone penetration tests. Attention is also given to the use of numerical methods which has been developed over the past twenty years. It provides an overview of various elements of ground-structure interaction that are pertinent for a refined design of both shallow and deep foundations such as allowable displacements of structures and ground-structure couplings. This guide will be useful to practising engineers and experts in design offices contracting companies and administrations as well as students and researchers in civil engineering. Though its focus is generally on the French practice it is more widely applicable to design based on or generally in line with Eurocode 7 with references to BS ENs. Roger Frank is an Honorary Professor at Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (ENPC). From 1998 to 2004 he chaired the committee on Eurocode 7 on Geotechnical design. Fahd Cuira is the Scientific Director of Terrasol (Setec group) France. Since 2018 he has been in charge of the course on the design of geotechnical structures at ENPC.

Jews and Muslims in the White Supremacist Conspiratorial Imagination

Jews and Muslims in the White Supremacist Conspiratorial Imagination

Jews and Muslims in the White Supremacist Conspiratorial Imagination explores how Jews and Muslims are stigmatized and endangered by the same conspiratorial template. Supremacists imagine that Jews and Muslims secretly strive to replace white European civilization with an unspeakable tyranny. The authors a Jew and a Muslim analyze the nature of the conspiracism that targets their communities. They historicize the supremacist conspiratorial imagination narrating the paranoia on a continuum from modernity to the postmodern. They begin with the texts of modernity following them through to the dark areas of the Internet and examining their violent denouement in synagogues and mosques. The book investigates the classic text The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and neoclassic variations such as QAnon. It turns to Islamophobic responses to 9/11 such as paranoia regarding the Muslim Brotherhood and the doppelgänger of The Protocols namely The Project. The authors conclude by questioning how ordinary people prompted by paranoia and recognition hunger resort to violence and murder. Admittedly the authors are not certain—certainty is for conspiracists. But they may have a piece of the puzzle. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of conspiracy theories antisemitism Judeophobia Islamophobia political science history philosophy psychology sociology and criminology.

Be a fly on the wall as industry leaders Bill Kroyer and Tom Sito take us through insightful face-to-face interviews revealing in these two volumes the journeys of 23 world-class directors as they candidly share their experiences and personal views on the process of making feature animated films. The interviews were produced and edited by Ron Diamond. Your job is not to be the one with the answers. You should be the one that gets the answers. That’s your job. You need to make friends and get to know your crew. These folks are your talent your bag of tricks. And that’s where you’re going to find answers to the big problems - Andrew Stanton It’s hard. Yet the pain you go through to get what you need for your film enriches you and it enriches the film. – Brenda Chapman Frank and Ollie always used to say that great character animation contains movement that is generated by the character’s thought process. It can’t be plain movement. – John Lasseter The beauty of clay is that it doesn’t have to be too polished or too smooth and sophisticated. You don’t want it to be mechanical and lifeless. – Nick Park The good thing about animation is that tape is very cheap. Let the actor try things. This is where animation gets to play with spontaneity. You want to capture that line as it has never been said before. And most likely if you asked the actor to do it again he or she just can’t repeat that exact performance. But you got it. – Ron Clements | On Animation The Director's Perspective Vol 1
