A politically oriented study of the thought of the founders of the main schools of contemporary academic philosophy, those which dominate nearly all universities throughout the world. It concentrates on four key masters: Wittgenstein, who founded both Logical Positivism and the so-called Common Language or Analytic school; Heidegger, the acknowledged master of Hermeneutic Philosophy or the so-called Continental school; Lukacs, the founder of Hegelian Marxism and the leading Communist philosopher of the Soviet period; and, finally, the now lesser-known Gentile, the Hegelian Idealist.

What could an omnipresent and seemingly omnipotent entity want with a humble pot-healer? Or with the dozens of other odd creatures it has lured to Plowman's Planet? And if the Glimmung is a god, are its ends positive or malign? Combining quixotic adventure, spine-chilling horror, and deliriously paranoid theology, Galactic Pot-Healer is a uniquely Dickian voyage to alternate worlds of the imagination.

Hardcover. In the early hours of 24 February 2022, Russian forces attacked Ukraine. The brutality of the Russian assault has horrified the world. But Russians themselves appear to be watching an entirely different war one in which they are the courageous underdogs and kind-hearted heroes successfully battling a malign Ukrainian foe. Russia analyst Jade McGlynn takes us on a journey into this parallel military and political universe to reveal the sometimes monstrous, sometimes misconstrued attitudes behind Russian majority backing for the invasion. Drawing on media analysis and interviews with ordinary citizens, officials and foreign-policy elites in Russia and Ukraine, McGlynn explores the grievances, lies and half-truths that pervade the Russian worldview. She also exposes the complicity of many Russians, who have invested too deeply in the Kremlins alternative narratives to regard the war as Putins foolhardy mission. In their eyes, this is Russias war against Ukraine, against the West, against evil and there can be no turning back. Also available as an audiobook narrated by the author.

There will be no peace or solutions forthcoming while those who boast of freedom and democracy are intolerant of the views and culture of others living in their land. There can be no peace while political powers forbid the practice of freedom of speech. There will be no peace while men malign one another and distort the truth to win an election to public office, or while politicians conspire to enslave and imprison those who oppose or disagree with them; while men profess to be "righteous" yet deny the basic liberty of free thought and expression; while men prate of morals and idealism, yet sell their soul amid the hypocrisies of the hour and that which is expedient or popular’; while men claim truth to be solely theirs alone, maintaining they "have a right" to disinherit, to destroy another race or culture of men, THERE WILL BE NO PEACE!

The power available from a wind turbine depends on the winds, not upon the political orientation of the pundit who extols or maligns the installation. There is no Republican or Democratic version of how much power can come from a hydropower installation. No religious, philosophical, or political view holds sway over the intensity of sunlight.A Primer on Renewable Energy asks to what extent renewable energy sources are adequate to the task of providing our energy. That task involves studying how we use energy and also much energy can be provided by renewable energy sources. The subject is necessarily quantitative, but it involves no exotic mathematics.

Book 4 of Tacitus' Annals, described by Sir Ronald Syme as 'the best that Tacitus ever wrote', covers the years AD 23-28, the pivotal period in the principate of the emperor Tiberius. Under the malign influence of Sejanus, the henchman who duped him and was loaded with honours, Tiberius withdrew to the island of Capri and was never again seen in Rome, where the treason trials engendered an atmosphere of terror. The volume presents a new text of Book 4, as well as a full commentary on the text, covering textual, literary, linguistic and historical matters. The introduction discusses the relationship between Tacitus and Sallust. The volume completes the sequence which began with commentary on Books 1 and 2 of the Annals by F. R. D. Goodyear (1972, 1981) and was continued by commentary on Book 3 by A. J. Woodman and R. H. Martin (1996) and on Books 5-6 by A. J. Woodman (2016).

The fourth book of Tacitus' Annals has been described as "the best that Tacitus ever wrote." It covers the years AD 23-28, starting when Tacitus noted a significant deterioration in the principate of the emperor Tiberius, and the increasingly malign influence of his "evil genius" Sejanus. R.H. Martin and A.J. Woodman present an improved text of Annals IV, explain in detail the difficulties and unusual features of Tacitus' Latin, and discuss the dramatic, structural and literary qualities of the narrative. They also discuss the political, moral and stylistic dimensions of the Roman historiographical tradition. Though intended primarily as a textbook for undergraduates and high school students, this edition will interest scholars of Latin literature and Roman history as well.
