Originally published in 1987. This book comprises a critical
exposition of the thoughts on metaphysics of the major philosophers
of the tradition. It introduces the ideas of these philosophers to
students but is of interest to teachers as well. The author begins
with a survey of the metaphysical writings of Plato, Aristotle,
Berkeley, Leibniz and Bradley, clarifying throughout the relation
of their methods and results to those of science. He follows this
with a careful study of the critical attitudes to metaphysics
espoused by Kant, Wittgenstein and the Logical Positivists. In the
final section he scrutinizes the attempts by Collingwood, Wisdom
and Lazerowitz to rehabilitate metaphysics.

A welcome and important contribution to a thankfully growing
debate. Mental illness remains in some ways the last great taboo in
our society, a taboo which leads directly to stigma and
discrimination which for some can be even worse than the symptoms
of their illness. This book in part is about encouraging men who
have reached crisis point to seek help. Equally it's about
prevention, and sets out some of the excellent work being done on
that. I hope it can inspire practitioners and policy makers to
initiate similar interventions, develop new ones and lift the
promotion of men's mental health much higher up the agenda, both in
the UK and abroad.A" - From the Foreword by Alastair Campbell Men -
in all their diverse groups, settings, lifestyles and stages of
life - can face considerable challenges to their mental wellbeing
from specific cultural and societal factors, causing difficulties
for themselves and those who live and work with them. In addition,
these men may respond better to certain approaches and treatment.
Promoting Men's Mental Health outlines the breadth of the
challenges and provides guidance for those working in primary care
on targeting and helping men who need support. Good mental health
is more than the absence of mental illness, and this book therefore
highlights methods to promote positive mental health by increasing
psychological wellbeing, competency and coping skills, and by
creating supportive living and working environments The book
highlights examples of best practice throughout the UK, Europe and
America, and will be essential reading for primary care and mental
health professionals, and all those with an interest in men's
mental health. 'We need to be more innovative in the way we try to
reach men. This book will help stimulate further discussion and
hopefully encourage men to seek help or support.' From the Foreword
by Louis Appleby
'Outsourcing' - when will the horror stories stop coming? Every
year the government gives private companies like G4S, Serco, Capita
and ATOS GBP80 billion of taxpayers' money to handle some of our
most sensitive and important services - but where is their
transparency? Immigration is perhaps the most challenging and
divisive issue of our time - so why has our government abdicated
responsibility? As privatisation looms over an NHS in crisis, how
do we hold these companies to account? Now, White speaks to
campaigners, Whitehall insiders - and the companies themselves. Who
Really Runs Britain? is a shocking compendium of what happens when
outsourcing goes wrong - and what we do now.
Every year the British government spends GBP80 billion outsourcing
public services. Today, private companies are responsible for
fulfilling some of the most sensitive and important roles of the
state - running prisons and providing healthcare, transport, legal
aid, even child protection. These organizations have been handed
enormous amounts of power and yet for the most part they operate
with no transparency or accountability. From deportations to NHS
cutbacks, Alan White exposes what goes wrong when the invisible
hand of the market is introduced into public services. Informed by
exclusive interviews with senior managers, campaigners and
whistle-blowers, Shadow State is the first book to examine the
controversial phenomenon of government outsourcing. Not only does
White provide the full story behind scandals involving G4S, Serco
and ATOS, but he also reveals previously unknown cases of system
failure in areas such as social care, welfare and justice. The
picture that develops is deeply troubling.
The Worcester and Birmingham Canal, some thirty miles long, was
created from 1791, when it was authorised by Act of Parliament, to
1815 when it was completed 24 years later. Although intended as a
broad canal for barges and having five broad tunnels, it was
eventually completed with narrow locks due to financial
difficulties. From Gas Street Basin at the Birmingham end it passes
through the suburbs of Edgbaston, Selly Oak and Kings Norton, then
through the long West Hill Tunnel and via Hopwood and Alvechurch
through countryside to Tardebigge, all this section being on the
Birmingham Level. Then it descends in stages via fifty-six narrow
locks and two barge locks to the River Severn at Diglis via Stoke
Prior, Hanbury Wharf, Dunhampstead, Oddingley, Tibberton, Blackpole
and the eastern suburbs of Worcester City. The earlier chapters of
this book trace in detail the successive stages reached in making
the canal and the reservoirs needed to safeguard the water supplies
of millowners, the financial and other problems faced, and the saga
of the Tardebigge Boat Lifi. Later chapters cover the history of
the canal following its completion, its use for both commercial and
pleasure purposes, its administration and management, its upkeep
and maintenance, its involvement with railways, and the various
industries and amenities which were established beside it, Three of
the final chapters feature past and present places and items of
interest located along the canal from Birmingham to Worcester. Of
special interest throughout is the impact the canal had upon the
lives of countless people, those involved in its construction,
those who lived and worked on the boats, those who were employed by
the Canal Company as engineers, lock-keepers and maintenance men,
people who worked in canalside factories, shops, public house,
boatyards, and on wharves, and those concerned for the welfare of
canal boat families and their animals.

This book includes a foreword by Peter Baker, Chief Executive, The
Men's Health Forum. Male weight problems are a serious public
health issue and can lead to hypertension, hyperlipidaemia,
diabetes and cancer. If current trends continue, the prospect of
the majority of men becoming overweight is a very real one, and
urgent action is imperative. The middle-aged spread that most men
'expect' to develop as they enter into their thirties and forties
is now occurring much earlier with boys and young men developing
life limiting weight problems. This multidisciplinary guide
provides a gender sensitive approach to weight issues. Men need to
be targeted specifically and in a male-focused manner, in order to
overcome the multitude of contributing factors in their weight
gain; social influences, dietary restrictions, education, cultural
expectations, psychological considerations and exercise regime.
This book takes a balanced approach, offering practical guidance as
well as evidence-based research, academic perspectives and personal
experiences. The advice is easy to implement and has been proven in
real-life settings. All healthcare professionals, nutritionists and
dieticians will find the assistance invaluable. It is also highly
recommended for psychologists, counsellors and therapists,
particularly those working with men. Healthcare policy makers and
shapers too, will find much of interest. 'A definitive and seminal
book that will change the way male weight problems are tackled in
the UK and beyond.' - Peter Baker, in the Foreword.
This work includes Foreword by Ian Banks - President, Men's Health
Forum. Traditionally, men have been seen as reluctant to access
health services, but getting men to engage with their health isn't
an impossible task once you're equipped with a few tricks of the
trade. This concise, easy to read guide offers a no-nonsense,
practical approach to the development and implementation of men's
health programmes. Based on years of wide-ranging experience, the
book is designed for anyone who is involved in service delivery for
men and boys, and demonstrates what can be achieved with adequate
resources, a flexible approach and a sound understanding of men's
needs. It is ideal for all healthcare professionals and managers,
and medicine and nursing students undertaking specialist men's
health and health promotion courses. It is also of great interest
to teachers and youth leaders, including school nurses. Healthcare
policy makers and shapers will find it enlightening reading. 'This
book is for anyone who wants to find out how to successfully set up
and deliver health services aimed at men and boys. Traditionally,
men have been seen as reluctant to access health services, but
getting men to engage with their health isn't an impossible task
once you're equipped with a few tricks of the trade. Although this
is primarily intended to be a practical guide, much of the book
will also be of interest to academics, policy makers and managers.
It demonstrates what can be achieved with adequate resources, a
flexible approach and a sound understanding of men's needs.' -
David Conrad and Alan White, in the Preface. 'As an issue men's
health is plagued by myth, ignorance and inequality, but most of
all by a lack of solid research based on evidence-based work with
men themselves. Lofty academics pontificate endlessly on the
meaning of 'masculinity' yet never get their invariably white
Caucasian, middle class hands dirty on what really impacts on Y
chromosome owners. The Bradford team didn't just wonder about
masculinity and scratch male pattern baldness, they did something
measurable about men's health and ethnicity so other workers could
use their evidence base to actually change the dreadful health
status quo. An excellent and unique "Dirty Hands Manual".' - Ian
Banks, in the Foreword.

Free Will is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the
philosophy of free will, offering an authoritative survey of
perennial issues and contemporary debates within the field.
Bringing together the work of a diverse team of established and
younger scholars, this well-balanced volume offers innovative
perspectives and fresh approaches to the classical compatibility
problem, moral and legal responsibility, consciousness in free

impossibilism, and much more. The Companion’s 30 chapters provide
general coverage of the discipline as well as an in-depth
exploration of both CAP (Classical Analytic Paradigm) and non-CAP
perspectives on the problem of free will and the problem of
determinism—raising new questions about what the free will debate
is, or should be, about. Throughout the book, coverage of modern
exchanges between the world’s leading philosophers is
complemented by incisive commentary, novel insights, and selections
that examine compatibilist, libertarian, and denialist viewpoints.

new developments in longstanding arguments between compatibilist
and incompatibilist approaches to free will including those that
question this way of framing the debate and critique the standard
terminology Discusses descriptive, revisionary, and pragmatic
approaches for defining key concepts and addressing compatibility
problems surrounding free will Considers various issues of moral
responsibility and philosophical approaches to the problem of free
will in new ways Part of the acclaimed Blackwell Companions to
Philosophy series, A Companion to Free Will is essential reading
for undergraduate and graduate students of philosophy, professional
philosophers and theorists, and interested novices alike.
Moral values are real - we don't just make them up. Beauty is in
the world - it's not just in the eye of the beholder. You are free
- what you do is not always determined by electrochemical processes
in your brain. And the universe we live in is God's creation. These
are radical claims. But they are widely rejected in contemporary
philosophy because they are almost always considered in relative
isolation from one another. This book shows that when they are
considered in conjunction, they gain mutual support. And it shows
this both clearly and concisely. But its systematic approach to
philosophy also reveals that various philosophical positions
currently widely accepted and defended can appear plausible and
perhaps even compelling only when they are considered in relative
isolation - as they, too, almost always are. When the issues on
which these positions are taken are considered in conjunction,
problems come into view and the alternative positions defended in
this book emerge as superior.Toward a Philosophical Theory of
Everything is a ground-breaking work that shows the importance of
systematic thinking, while also defending positions, on central
philosophical issues, that are widely rejected in contemporary
philosophy.
