Schopenhauer founded his system on a highly original interpretation of Kant’s philosophy developing an entirely novel and controversial worldview guided centrally by his striking conception of the human will and of art and beauty. His influence extends to figures as diverse as Fredrich Nietzsche Ludwig Wittgenstein and Iris Murdoch within philosophy and Richard Wagner Thomas Hardy Sigmund Freud Thomas Mann Samuel Beckett and Jorge Luis Borges outside it. The Schopenhauerian Mind is an outstanding wide-ranging collection that explores the rich nature of Schopenhauer's ideas texts influences and legacy.

The BUGS Book A Practical Introduction to Bayesian Analysis

The BUGS Book A Practical Introduction to Bayesian Analysis

Bayesian statistical methods have become widely used for data analysis and modelling in recent years and the BUGS software has become the most popular software for Bayesian analysis worldwide. Authored by the team that originally developed this software The BUGS Book provides a practical introduction to this program and its use. The text presents complete coverage of all the functionalities of BUGS including prediction missing data model criticism and prior sensitivity. It also features a large number of worked examples and a wide range of applications from various disciplines. The book introduces regression models techniques for criticism and comparison and a wide range of modelling issues before going into the vital area of hierarchical models one of the most common applications of Bayesian methods. It deals with essentials of modelling without getting bogged down in complexity. The book emphasises model criticism model comparison sensitivity analysis to alternative priors and thoughtful choice of prior distributions all those aspects of the art of modelling that are easily overlooked in more theoretical expositions. More pragmatic than ideological the authors systematically work through the large range of tricks that reveal the real power of the BUGS software for example dealing with missing data censoring grouped data prediction ranking parameter constraints and so on. Many of the examples are biostatistical but they do not require domain knowledge and are generalisable to a wide range of other application areas. Full code and data for examples exercises and some solutions can be found on the book‘s website. | The BUGS Book A Practical Introduction to Bayesian Analysis

The Poems of Robert Browning: Volume Five The Ring and the Book Books 1-6

The Poems of Robert Browning: Volume Five The Ring and the Book Books 1-6

The Ring and the Book published serially in 1868–9 is one of the most daring and innovative poems in the English language. The story is based on the trial of an Italian nobleman Guido Franceschini for the murder of his wife Pompilia in Rome in 1698. Browning’s discovery of the ‘old yellow book’ a bundle of legal documents and letters relating to the trial on a second-hand market stall in Florence sparked an imaginative engagement with this sordid tale of domestic cruelty adultery and greed which grew through four years of arduous labour into an epic peopled not by gods and warriors but by concrete recognisably human beings. Fusing the technique of the dramatic monologue the form he had made his own with the grandeur of classical epic and the vivid realism of the modern novel Browning created a unique hybrid form that allowed him not only to bring to life an entire historical period but also to reflect on the process of artistic creation itself – the forging of the golden ‘ring’ of the poem from the ‘pure crude fact’ of its historical original. This edition comprising volumes 5 and 6 in the acclaimed Longman Annotated English Poets edition of Browning’s poems does full justice to the scope and depth of Browning’s achievement. The headnote in volume 5 gives an authoritative account of the poem’s composition publication sources and reception making use of hitherto unpublished letters and textual material. In addition to giving readers help where needed with historical and linguistic comprehension the notes track Browning’s formidable range of allusion from the most erudite to the most vulgar. The appendices in volume 6 present a selection from the original sources a list of variants from extant proofs and key passages from Browning’s fascinating and revealing correspondence with one of the earliest readers of the poem Julia Wedgwood. The aim is to enable readers not just to understand the poem as an object of study but to take pleasure in its abounding intellectual and emotional energies. | The Poems of Robert Browning: Volume Five The Ring and the Book Books 1-6

The Routledge Handbook on the History of Development

The Routledge Handbook on the History of Development

This bold and ambitious handbook is the first systematic overview of the history of development ideas themes and actors in the twentieth century. Taking stock of the field the book reflects on blind spots points out avenues for future research and brings together a greater plurality of regions actors and approaches than other publications on the subject. The book offers a critical reassessment of how historical experiences have shaped contemporary understandings of development demonstrating that the seemingly self-evident concept of development has been contingent on a combination of material conditions power structures and policy choices at different times and in different places. Using a world history approach the handbook highlights similarities in development challenges across time and space and it pays attention to the meanings of ideological cultural and economic divides in shaping different understandings and practices of development. Taking a thematic approach the book shows how different actors – governments non-governmental organizations individuals corporations and international organizations – have responded to concerns regarding the conditions in their own or other societies such as the provision of education health or food; approaches to infrastructure development and industrialization; the adjustment of social conditions; population policies and migration; and the maintenance of stability and security. Bringing together a range of voices from across the globe this book will be perfect for advanced students and researchers of international development history. | The Routledge Handbook on the History of Development

Routledge Handbook of Seabed Mining and the Law of the Sea

Routledge Handbook of Seabed Mining and the Law of the Sea

For years exploration of seabed natural resources has been ongoing while exploitation in deep marine areas remained unrealistic due to land-based mineral availability and costs. However mounting pressures from the green transition climate change and long-lasting fears of terrestrial minerals scarcity now bring exploitation prospects closer to reality. This has caused concern to a growing chorus of States scientists industries NGOs and parts of civil society due to the potential environmental and social impacts of these activities. As a result the idea of a moratorium or ‘precautionary pause’ is gaining ground. Yet an important number of interpretation and implementation issues of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the 1994 Agreement remain to be answered as a means to move forward in accordance with international law. This multidisciplinary book designed to become the essential handbook on the matter provides a global overview of the national regional and international regulatory frameworks applicable to the exploration and exploitation of seabed minerals on the continental shelf and the Area as well as the related state of the science on the matter. By presenting historical and geopolitical context crucial to understanding regulation evolution the book equips readers with foundational legal and policy knowledge. It furthermore addresses contemporary and prospective issues and offers unique insights into regional and national practices including non-Party States to UNCLOS.
