Daniel Carey examines afresh the fundamental debate within theEnlightenment about human diversity. Three central figures - Locke,Shaftesbury, and Hutcheson - questioned whether human nature wasfragmented by diverse and incommensurable customs and beliefs orunified by shared moral and religious principles. Locke's critiqueof innate ideas initiated the argument, claiming that no consensusexisted in the world about morality or God's existence. Testimonyof human difference established this point. His position wasdisputed by the third Earl of Shaftesbury who reinstated a Stoicaccount of mankind as inspired by common ethical convictions and animpulse toward the divine. Hutcheson attempted a difficultsynthesis of these two opposing figures, respecting Locke'scritique while articulating a moral sense that structured humannature. Daniel Carey concludes with an investigation of therelationship between these arguments and contemporary theories, andshows that current conflicting positions reflect long-standingdifference

This is a history of the early European middle ages throughthe eyes of women, combining the rich literature of women's historywith original research in the context of mainstream history andtraditional chronology. The book begins at the end of the Romanempire and ends with the start of the long eleventh century, whenwomen and men set out to test the old frontiers of Europe. The bookrecreates the lives of ordinary women but also tells personalstories of individuals. Each chapter also questions an assumptionof medieval historiography, and uses the few documents produced bywomen themselves, along with archaeological evidence, art, and thewritten records of medieval men, to tell of women, theirexperiences and ideas, and their relations with men. It covers thecontinent and its exotic edges, such as Iceland, Ireland, andIberia; looking at women Christian and non-Christian alike.
For centuries, until the consolidation of modern standard Hindiafter 1900, the Hindi dialect known as Braj Bhāsā enjoyed greatprestige as the vehicle of the Krsna cult literature of northernIndia, as well as for the brilliance of its secular literature.Most of this material was in verse, although since the beginning ofthe last century we have had knowledge of the existence of texts inSanskritized Braj Bhāsā prose, chiefly sectarian chronicles andcommentaries, from a relatively early date. In this, the earliestthorough analysis of a Braj Bhāsā text, Dr McGregor presents one ofthe oldest known Braj Bhāsā prose texts: a Braj commentary on theSanskrit Nīti?ataka of Bhartrhari, originally composed about 1600.His detailed examination of the morphology, phonology and syntax ofits language casts light on the types of language that underlie theBraj Bhāsā used in verse literature, and provide a comparativebasis for further studies of the prose produced in Braj and inother Hindi dialects before the nineteent
This study breaks new ground in investigating candidatebehavior in American electoral campaigns. It centers on a questionof equal importance to citizens and scholars: how can we producebetter political campaigns? First, Simon develops the idea ofdialogue as a standard for evaluating political campaigns. Second,he reveals that candidates' self-interest in winning leads toavoiding dialogue or substantive campaign discourse. Third, thetext demonstrates the beneficial effects produced by the littledialogue that actually occurs and finally, pinpoints the forcesresponsible for these rare occurrences.

The Ross Orogen of the Transantarctic Mountains is the part ofthe orogenic system that formed at the Pacific continental marginof present-day Antarctica. According to a recent hypothesis, thiscontinental margin was created by the rifting and subsequent driftof Laurentia from Gondwana. With an unparalleled breadth and depthof information, this book provides a detailed synthesis of thehistory of the Ross orogen. In doing so, it incorporates classicalstudies with discussions of the most recent and controversialresearch from the international community. The book also includes acomprehensive bibliography and a historical chronology of allexpeditions that have worked on the Ross orogen in theTransantarctic Mountains, from the first sightings by Ross in 1840right up to the present day. This review of the Ross orogen of theTransantarctic Mountains will be valuable to all geologistsinterested in these episodes in the Earth's history, and toresearchers of the geology of Antarctica.

Environmental temperature varies in time and space ontimescales ranging from a few hours to long-term climate change.Organisms are therefore continually challenged to regulate andmaintain functional capacities as their thermal environmentchanges. This volume brings together many of the leading workers inthermal biology, with backgrounds spanning the disciplines ofmolecular biology, cell biology, physiology, zoology, ecology andevolutionary biology, to discuss the responses of a wide range ofspecies to temperature change at all scales of organization,ranging through the molecular, cellular, organismal, population andecosystem levels. The volume provides an important andcomprehensive contribution to the study of temperature adaptation,which, given the concern about global climate change, will providemuch to interest a wide range of biologists.

Studying the dynamics of a large number of particlesinteracting through long-range forces, commonly referred to as the'N-body problem', is a central aspect of many different branches ofphysics. In recent years, significant advances have been made inthe development of fast N-body algorithms to deal efficiently withsuch complex problems. This book is the first to give a thoroughintroduction to these so-called 'tree methods', setting out thebasic principles and giving many practical examples of their use.No prior specialist knowledge is assumed, and the techniques areillustrated throughout with reference to a broad range ofapplications. The book will be of great interest to graduatestudents and researchers working on the modelling of systems inastrophysics, plasma physics, nuclear and particle physics,condensed matter physics and materials science.
The Discovery of Islands consists of a series of linked essaysin British history, written by one of the world's leadinghistorians of political thought and published over the past threedecades. Its purpose is to present British history as that ofseveral nations interacting with - and sometimes seceding from - animperial state. The commentary presents this history as that of anarchipelago, expanding across oceans to the Antipodes. Both NewZealand history and the author's New Zealand heritage inform thisvision, presenting British history as oceanic and global,complementing (and occasionally criticising) the presentation ofthat history as European. Professor Pocock's interpretation ofBritish history has been hugely influential in recent years, makingThe Discovery of Islands a resource of immense value for historiansof Britain and the world.
This study of the emergence of machine politics in New YorkCity during the antebellum years sheds light on the origins of asystem that was the characteristic form of government in UnitedStates cities from the mid-nineteenth until well into the twentiethcentury. In contrast to previous explanations that have found theorigins of machine politics in immigrant culture and ethnicconflict, Professor Bridges shows that central elements of thesystem long predated a significant immigrant presence. Her analysisfocuses on two large-scale transformations in the Americanpolitical economy that occurred during these years:industrialization, which reorganized the social order and provokedconflict and change; and the extension of the franchise through theabolition of property barriers, which necessitated theincorporation of 'the many' into political life. It was this uniquecombination of circumstances, the author argues, that provided thecontext for the development of machine politics.
In contrast to those who see the 1950s as essentially aconservative period, and who view the 1960s as a time of rapidmoral change, The Permissive Society points to the emergence of aliberalizing impulse during the Truman and Eisenhower years. Thebook shows how, during the 1950s, a traditionalist moral frameworkwas beginning to give way to a less authoritarian approach to moralissues as demonstrated by a more relaxed style of child-rearing,the rising status of women both inside and outside the home, theincreasing reluctance of Americans to regard alcoholism as a sin,loosening sexual attitudes, the increasing influence of modernpsychology, and, correspondingly, the declining influence ofreligion in the personal lives of most Americans.
