Night Thoreau Spent in Jail

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lawrence, Jerome / Lee, Robert E., PUBLISHER: Turtleback Books: A Division of Sanval, "If the law is of such a nature that it requires you to be an agent of injustice to another, then I say, break the law". So wrote the young Henry David Thoreau in . Three years earlier, Thoreau had put his belief into action and refused to pay taxes because of the United States government's involvement in the Mexican War, which Thoreau firmly believed was unjust.

The Debated Mind: Evolutionary Psychology Versus Ethnography

The Debated Mind: Evolutionary Psychology Versus Ethnography

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Whitehouse, Harvey, PUBLISHER: Berg Publishers, In a further development of the nature-nurture debate, this collection of articles questions how the human mind influences the content and organization of culture. In the study of mental activity, can the effects of evolution and history be teased apart? Evolutionary psychologists argue that cultural transmission is constrained by our genetic inheritance. Few social and cultural anthropologists have found this argument to be relevant to their work and many would doubt its validity. This book uniquely pitches the arguments for innatism against ethnographic perspectives that call into question the theoretical foundations of orthodox evolutionary biology and cognitive science. Ultimately the aim of the debate is to create an original set of mutually compatible theories that will open up new areas for interdisciplinary research.

Pandora is one of the few mortals at Mount Olympus Academy--and probably the most curious of all the students in school. Her quizzical nature is famous--not that she thinks there is anything wrong with being curious, of course When a godboy named Epimetheus brings a mysterious and fantastical box to school, Pandora's curiosity is piqued. And when it unexpectedly lands in her lap--literally--she can't help but take a look at what's inside. What could be the harm in that? But little does she know that opening the box will open up more trouble than she thought....

But then, one day, she began a joyous song to the hills and, without even trying, she discovered the secret of the other way to listen.

A Social History of England,

A Social History of England,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Crick, Julia / Van Houts, Elisabeth, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The years between 900 and saw transformative social change in Europe, including the creation of extensive town-dwelling populations and the proliferation of feudalised elites and bureaucratic monarchies. In England these developments were complicated and accelerated by repeated episodes of invasion, migration and changes of regime. In this book, scholars from disciplines including history, archaeology and literature reflect on the major trends which shaped English society in these years of transition and select key themes which encapsulate the period. The authors explore the landscape of England, its mineral wealth, its towns and rural life, the health, behaviour and obligations of its inhabitants, patterns of spiritual and intellectual life and the polyglot nature of its population and culture. What emerges is an insight into the complexity, diversity and richness of this formative period of English history.

The Green Dwarf: A Tale of the Perfect Tense

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bronte, Charlotte / Purves, Libby, PUBLISHER: Hesperus Press, Witty and engrossing, this early work displays the precocious intelligence, lively imagination, and flair for storytelling that Charlotte Bronte brought to perfection in her later fiction. Lady Emily Charlesworth is in love with Leslie, a struggling artist. Lord Percy, a fierce, arrogant aristocrat, will do anything to lay his hands on Leslie's chosen bride. As war breaks out between Verdopolis--Bronte's imaginary political state--and Senegal, the lovers do battle for control of Emily's heart. With its exotic melange of political intrigue, amorous subterfuge, and Gothic scenery, "The Green Dwarf" reveals the dynamic and experimental nature of Bronte's "long apprenticeship in writing." Charlotte Bronte is best remembered for her perennially popular novel "Jane Eyre."

The Gods of Roman Britain

The Gods of Roman Britain

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Green, Miranda J. / Aldhouse-Green, Miranda, PUBLISHER: Shire Publications, This book looks at the religious beliefs of the people of the Roman province of Britain and at the gods they worshipped. Little literary evidence survives and it is therefore necessary to rely almost wholly on epigraphic and iconographical representations. The book first examines the pre-Roman Celtic background to Romano-British religion from about 500 BC. The chapters following analyse the nature of the evidence; the introduction of Roman religion to the province; oriental cults including Christianity; the integration of Roman with pre-existing British and other Celtic cults, and the resulting composite religion which thus emerged. The final chapter examines stylised Celtic representations of anonymous divinities. Miranda Green is currently Professor of Archaeology at University of Wales College, Newport, where she is also Director of the SCARAB Research Centre.

Artisans and Narrative Craft in Late Medieval England

Artisans and Narrative Craft in Late Medieval England

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cooper, Lisa H., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Lisa H. Cooper offers new insight into the relationship of material practice and literary production in the Middle Ages by exploring the representation of craft labor in England from c.. She examines genres as diverse as the school-text, comic poem, spiritual allegory, and mirror for princes, and works by authors both well-known (Chaucer, Lydgate, Caxton) and far less so. Whether they represent craft as profitable endeavor, learned skill, or degrading toil, the texts she reviews not only depict artisans as increasingly legitimate members of the body politic, but also deploy images of craft labor and its products to confront other complex issues, including the nature of authorship, the purpose of community, the structure of the household, the fate of the soul, and the scope of princely power.

Logic and Information

Logic and Information

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Devlin, Keith J., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In this provocative and ground-breaking book, Keith Devlin argues that in order to obtain a deeper understanding of the nature of intelligence and knowledge acquisition, we must broaden our concept of logic. Classical logic, beginning with the work of Aristotle, has developed into a powerful and rigorous mathematical theory with many applications in mathematics and computer science, but it has proved woefully inadequate in the search for artificial intelligence. The new kind of logic, also mathematically based, outlined by Professor Devlin is the culmination of collaborative research among some of the world's leading logicians, philosophers, linguists, psychologists, and computer scientists. It introduces the concepts of infon, a quantum of information, and situations, a dynamical generalization of sets, and is capable of handlng the issues involved in human communication, thought, speech, and machine information processing.

Peasants and Imperial Rule: Agriculture and Agrarian Society

Peasants and Imperial Rule: Agriculture and Agrarian Society

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Charlesworth, Neil, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book is a detailed historical study of agriculture and agrarian society in a major province of British India, the Bombay presidency. Its objective is to examine the impact of British rule on the Indian peasantry, and the changes it brought. Among the specific issues discussed by the author are the development of the British land revenue system, the pattern of expansion in commercial agriculture and the consequences in terms of ownership and organisation of land and agrarian social structure. Dr Charlesworth goes on to look at the role of government policy, the nature of peasant protest movements and the effects of the interwar depression. He concludes that significant long-term economic and social change did occur but that the highly 'differential' pattern to commercialisation prevented any structural transformation in the peasant economy and society.
