Описание: This book examines the penal differences between Anglophone and Scandinavian countries and explores how these two clusters of societies came to develop their own sets of cultural values and welfare state models.
Leo Tolstoy was born into a Russian aristocratic family in 1828, and rose to be the foremost novelist of his time, penning such classics as 'War and Peace', and 'Anna Karenina'. Prosperous and secure, in the 1870s he suffered a mid-life crisis, questioning all his fame and success, and finding existence utterly meaningless. This 'dark night of the soul' ended in a spiritual awakening, in which he returned to the Christianity he had rejected in his youth. But it was a very different Christianity to that espoused by Russia's Orthodox Church. In 'The Kingdom of God Is Within You', Tolstoy demands a literal interpretation of Christ's teachings, as exemplified by The Sermon on the Mount. Christianity insists on non-violence, non-resistance to evil and forgiveness, and those that act differently while claiming to be His followers are either deluded or hypocrites. Tolstoy is especially scathing of the Orthodox Church and of secular governments, a fact that led to his book being banned in Czarist Russia. But the message of 'The Kingdom of God' resonated far beyond Christianity and the borders of Tolstoy's homeland. Its uncompromising insistence on the moral necessity of non-violent resistance has influenced such pivotal figures as Martin Luther King and Mohandas Gandhi, the Mahatma declaring it to be a treasure of "independent thinking, profound morality and truthfulness". A thought-provoking read that will prompt critical self-examination in both believer and non-believer alike.

Описание: In this volume, one of the most important manuscripts surviving from pre-Conquest England receives penetrating analysis by several scholars. The `Junius Manuscript` is evaluated from a number of intersecting perspectives, including codicology, decoration, script and punctuation; the confluence of these permits a fresh and convincing dating of this crucially important witness to Old English poetry.

Описание: This open access book provides an exploration of the consequences of the ontological differences between natural and social objects (sometimes described as objects of nature and objects of thought) in the workings of causal and agency relationships.
Описание: These provocative essays by leading philosophers of science exemplify and illuminate the contemporary uncertainty and excitement in the field. The papers are rich in new perspectives, and their far-reaching criticisms challenge arguments long prevalent in classic philosophical problems of induction, empiricism, and realism. By turns empirical or analytic, historical or programmatic, confessional or argumentative, the authors' arguments both describe and demonstrate the fact that philosophy of science is in a ferment more intense than at any time since the heyday of logical positivism early in the twentieth century. Contents: "Thoroughly Modern Meno," Clark Glymour and Kevin Kelly "The Concept of Induction in the Light of the Interrogative Approach to Inquiry," Jaakko Hintikka "Aristotelian Natures and Modern Experimental Method," Nancy Cartwright "Genetic Inference: A Reconsideration of "David Hume's Empiricism," Barbara D. Massey and Gerald J. Massey "Philosophy and the Exact Sciences: Logical Positivism as a Case Study," Michael Friedman "Language and Interpretation: Philosophical Reflections and Empirical Inquiry," Noam Chomsky "Constructivism, Realism, and Philosophical Method," Richard Boyd "Do We Need a Hierarchical Model of Science?" Diderik Batens "Theories of Theories: A View from Cognitive Science," Richard E. Grandy "Procedural Syntax for Theory Elements," Joseph D. Sneed "Why Functionalism Didn't Work," Hilary Putnam "Physicalism," Hartry Field This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1992.

Описание: The new edition of this innovative book, R Data Analysis without Programming, prepares the readers to quickly analyze data and interpret statistical results using R. Professor Gerbing has developed lessR, a ground-breaking method in alleviating the challenges of R programming. The lessR extends R, removing the need for programming. This edition expands upon the first edition’s introduction to R through lessR, which enables the readers to learn how to organize data for analysis, read the data into R, and generate output without performing numerous functions and programming exercises first. With lessR, readers can select the necessary procedure and change the relevant variables with simple function calls. The text reviews and explains basic statistical procedures with the lessR enhancements added to the standard R environment. Using lessR, data analysis with R becomes immediately accessible to the novice user and easier to use for the experienced user.Highlights along with content new to this edition include:Explanation and Interpretation of all data analysis techniques; much more than a computer manual, this book shows the reader how to explain and interpret the results.Introduces the concepts and commands reviewed in each chapter.Clear, relaxed writing style more effectively communicates the underlying concepts than more stilted academic writing.Extensive margin notes highlight, define, illustrate, and cross-reference the key concepts. When readers encounter a term previously discussed, the margin notes identify the page number for the initial introduction.Scenarios that highlight the use of a specific analysis followed by the corresponding R/lessR input, output, and an interpretation of the results.Numerous examp
