The fresh politics reader
Welcome to the 21st Century. The information age. The time of miracles and wonder. Weren’t things supposed to be different? We’re carrying a lot of political weight from the previous era. Americans have had countless national discussions about gun ownership and the death penalty. We’ve debated affirmative action and abortion for three decades. We’ve whispered about drug policy reform for years. And everyone over 30 knows that everyone under 30 is going to be screwed once health care and Social Security collapse....

Censure and Sanctions
Andrew von Hirsch addresses a number of emerging conceptual questions concerning the proportionality of criminal sentences, an approach that is gaining influence worldwide including in England where the Criminal Justice Act of 1991 made proportionality the primary criterion for determining sentences. This study deals with how the idea of penal censure justifies proportionate sentences, how a penalty scale should be anchored in order to reduce overall punishment levels, how non-custodial penalties should be graded and used, and how political pressures impinge on sentencing policies. It offers a coherent and humane way of allocating punishments, appropriate for a society that treats...

Intention and Causation in Medical Non-Killing
Euthanasia and assisted suicide have reached a level whereby they are discussed in the media and by the public on a virtually daily basis. For example, there has been intense media coverage of the exodus by terminally ill patients from the UK who have travelled to Switzerland to commit suicide, and of recent treatment withdrawal cases from young children who are suffering from some disability.

THE RADICAL FACE OF THE ANCIENT CONSTITUTION
I have had the good fortune of growing up in a department filled with first-rate scholars and gentle colleagues, who over the years have supported and sustained me in any number of ways. Successive chairmen - the late Richard Hunt, Peter Karsten, Seymour Drescher, Richard Smethurst, Edward Muller, and Reid Andrews - have encouraged and prodded in equal measure, and I am genuinely grateful to them. My friends and colleagues have also been ever ready to serve as sounding boards and to read whatever I handed them, responding with incisive and on-the-mark criticisms....

EU ENLARGEMENT AND THE CONSTITUTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE
In the wake of the EU’s greatest enlargement, this book explores the adaptation of the constitutions of Central and Eastern Europe for membership in the European Union. In response to the painful past, these new constitutions were notably closed to the transfer of powers to international organisations, and accorded a prominent status to sovereignty and independence. A little more than a decade later, the process of amending these provisions in view of the transfer of sovereign powers to a supranational organisation has proved a sensitive and controversial exercise....

..A SOCIOLOGY OF CONSTITUTIONSUsing a methodology that both analyses particular constitutional texts and theories and reconstructs their historical evolution, Chris Thornhill examines the social role and legitimating status of constitutions from the firs
During the emergence of sociology as an academic discipline the questions about the origins, status and functions of constitutions were widely posed. Indeed, for both thematic and methodological reasons, the analysis of constitutions was a central aspect of early sociology. Sociology developed, however ambiguously, as a critical intellectual response to the theories and achievements of the Enlightenment in the eighteenth century, the political dimension of which was centrally focused on the theory and practice of constitutional rule....

British Government and the Constitution
This book is concerned with the organisation, powers and accountability of government in the British constitution. It has been written from a lawyer’s perspective, modified by an awareness that the British constitution is far from being exclusively the handiwork of lawyers. Judges and other practitioners of the discipline of law have made a notable contribution to it, but so have political philosophers, controversialists of many hues, party organisations, peers, rebels in and out of Parliament and the legions of special interests. Yet lawyers sometimes pretend that the constitution is theirs, teaching and writing about it in myopic isolation....

Universe of Stone A Biography of Chartres Cathedral
In 1204 some of the finest churches in Christendom were ransacked and the precious icons and relics were divided up among the plunderers. They snatched reliquaries from altars, forced open chests filled with holy treasures, stripped gold and silver metalwork from church fixtures. In their haste they spilled the sacramental wine over the marble floor, where it might mingle with the blood of any priest who stood in their way.

RECREATING NEWTON: NEWTONIAN BIOGRAPHY AND THE MAKING OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY HISTORY OF SCIENCE
Th is book examines how Isaac Newton’s reputation was utilized, and altered, by British men of science in biographies and historical studies published between 1820 and 1870.2 A detailed analysis of these works and the contexts in which they were produced demonstrates the contemporary signifi cance of these portraits for the scientifi c community. It is, therefore, among a number of recent ‘Reputational studies’ which argue that representations of historical fi gures refl ect the circumstances in which they are created and that the reputations of such fi gures can be used to legitimate current interests....

A TO Z OF MATHEMATICIANS
Ato Z of Mathematicians contains the fascinating biographies of 150 mathematicians: men and women from a variety of cultures, time periods, and socioeconomic backgrounds, all of whom have substantially influenced the history of mathematics. Some made numerous discoveries during a lifetime of creative work; others made a single contribution. The great Carl Gauss (1777–1855) developed the statistical method of least squares and discovered countless theorems in algebra, geometry, and analysis. Sir Isaac Newton (1643–1727), renowned as the primary inventor of calculus, was a profound researcher and one of the greatest scientists of all time....

Design of Feedback Control Systems for Stable Plants with Saturating Actuators
A systematic control design methodology is introduced for multi-input/multi-output stable open loop plants with multiple saturations. This new methodology is a substantial improvement over previous heuristic single-input/single-output approaches. The idea is to introduce a supervisor loop so that when the references and/or disturbances are sufficiently small, the control system operates linearly as designed. For signals large enough to cause saturations, the control law is modified in such a way to ensure stability and to preserve, to the extent possible, the behavior of the linear control design....

A Model of Macroeconomic Activity
This is the fourth edition of Professor Lindauer's early ground-breaking Macroeconomics series. It holds reader interest because it constantly relates the concepts of modern macroeconomics to today's Great Recession and the policies and conditions that brought it about and are needed to end it. In so doing it explains why not all Keynesian and neo-classical theory and monetary and fiscal policies are applicable to the unique structure and institutions of the United States and how the current recession can be quickly ended -...

SATYAJIT RAY THE INNER EYE
IN the summer of 2002, the National Film Theatre in London announced the first-ever complete retrospective of Satyajit Ray’s films. Some of the prints were coming from the Academy Film Archive in Hollywood, which had magnificently restored the image and sound; these had been seen only in the United States. Here was an opportunity too rare to miss, and I decided to see every film again on the big screen (and Ray’s long-lost documentary Sikkim for the first time).

A TO Z OF SCIENTISTS IN SPACE AND ASTRONOMY
The best thing about writing a book on the A to Z of Scientists in Space and Astronomy is discovering that many of the most amazing contributions were made by ordinary people who loved gazing at the stars. Musicians, philosophers, priests, physicians, people who came from impoverished backgrounds, and those with untold wealth, have all contributed to our understanding of what we see when we look into the night sky, and where we fit into the scheme of things. Astronomy, unlike any other field, can be and has been significantly affected by amateurs. The stars are for everyone....

A TO Z OF COMPUTER SCIENTISTS
The Industrial Revolution demonstrated the growing ability to organize and control the production of farms, mines, and factories. What had been relatively simple tasks became increasingly precise and elaborate systems. However with the growing complexity of economic and social life came a growing need to organize and manipulate the vast torrent of information produced by society. In the 19th century, pioneers such as Charles Babbage and Herman Hollerith designed and to some extent implemented mechanical systems for data processing. However, it was only with the advent of electricity and particularly electronics that a practical automatic digital computer became possible....

Captain Richard Ingle The Maryland
the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the American colonies, from Massachusetts to South Carolina, were at intervals subject to visitations of pirates, who were wont to appear suddenly upon the coasts, to pillage a settlement or attack trading vessels and as suddenly to take flight to their strongholds. Captain Kidd was long celebrated in prose and verse, and only within a few years have credulous people ceased to seek his buried treasures. The arch-villain, Blackbeard, was a terror to Virginians and Carolinians until Spotswood, of Horseshoe fame, took the matter in hand, and sent after him lieutenant Maynard, who, slaying the pirate in hand to hand conflict,...

The Correspondence of Thomas Carlyle and Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1834-1872, Vol II.
My Dear Emerson,--Lest Opportunity again escape me, I will take her, this time, by the forelock, and write while the matter is still hot. You have been too long without hearing of me; far longer, at least, than I meant. Here is a second Letter from you, besides various intermediate Notes by the hands of Friends, since that Templand Letter of mine: the Letter arrived yesterday; my answer shall get under way today.

Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie
After retiring from active business my husband yielded to the earnest solicitations of friends, both here and in Great Britain, and began to jot down from time to time recollections of his early days. He soon found, however, that instead of the leisure he expected, his life was more occupied with affairs than ever before, and the writing of these memoirs was reserved for his play-time in Scotland. For a few weeks each summer we retired to our little bungalow on the moors at Aultnagar to enjoy the simple life, and it was there that Mr. Carnegie did most of his writing. He delighted in...

Back Again to Paris, Casanova, v19
My Stay at Paris and My Departure for Strasburg, Where I Find the Renaud--My Misfortunes at Munich and My Sad Visit to Augsburg At ten o'clock in the morning, cheered by the pleasant feeling of being once more in that Paris which is so imperfect, but which is the only true town in the world, I called on my dear Madame d'Urfe, who received me with open arms. She told me that the young Count d'Aranda was quite well, and if I liked she would ask him to dinner the next day. I told her I should be delighted to see him, and then I...
