The contributors to this book, first published in 1971, analyse as
International Socialists the economic and social issues of modern
society. Their findings were controversial, as was the alternative
they proposed - the overthrow of the British system and its
replacement by a society based on workers' control. A central theme
of the book is the need for socialists to have a scientific view of
the modern world - a socialist theory.

While most critical writing on Jonson concentrates on the plays,
poems or masques seen in isolation, this title, first published in
1981, ranges across the genres to explore Jonson's vision as a
whole. The author points to the inner connections that make of the
rich variety of Jonson's writing a single coherent body of work. We
see Jonson exploring the relations between culture and society, the
difficulties of ideal virtue in a far from ideal world, and above
all the problems of art itself. Combining a wide-ranging discussion
of Jonson's interests with a detailed examination of his major
works, this book provides a balanced critical introduction to one
of the most complex and fascinating figures in English Literature.
This study of Plato's Phaedo promotes better understanding of its
arguments for the soul's immortality by showing how Plato intended
them, not as proofs, but as properly dialectical arguments
functioning in accordance with the method of hypothesis. Unlike the
argument for the soul's immortality in the Phaedrus, which does
seem intended as a proof, the Phaedo arguments are proceeding
toward the first principles that could serve as the basis for a
proof - the most important being an account of the soul's own
essential nature. This study attends to the substantial progress
the Phaedo makes toward such an account. It also considers
Socrates' epistemic situation in the dialogue and the problem of
whether his confidence in the face of death is misplaced if his
arguments have not been proofs before considering how the
concluding myth draws together several of the dialogue's main
themes.
Steady progress in recent years has been made in understanding the
special mathematical features of certain exactly solvable models in
statistical mechanics and quantum field theory, including the
scaling limits of the 2-D Ising (lattice) model, and more
generally, a class of 2-D quantum fields known as holonomic fields.
New results have made it possible to obtain a detailed
nonperturbative analysis of the multi-spin correlations. In
particular, the book focuses on deformation analysis of the scaling
functions of the Ising model, and will appeal to graduate students,
mathematicians, and physicists interested in the mathematics of
statistical mechanics and quantum field theory.
Throughout its length from London to Glasgow via Crewe and
Carlisle, with a loop through the West Midlands and spurs to
Holyhead,Liverpool and Manchester, the West Coast Main Line has
consistently provided interest for those many with more than a
passing interest in trains and travel. This book outlines the
history of the route,its physical characteristics and sets the
scene for the various passenger and goods traffic flows that
sustained it; it then details the arrangements for motive power and
train working through the era of change that was 1957 to 1963. The
level of interest - as evidenced daily by the presence at the
lineside of hordes of young spotters and other observers - was
particularly high at that time as processions of trains hauled by
fine express passenger locomotives and those more suited to other
traffic passed by. The book also goes 'behind the scenes' to
provide insights into the daily and seasonal challenges of managing
that section of a wider railway network, as directed by the varying
terms of relevant legislation, and a government increasingly
concerned to shape the railways for the changing needs of the
public, industry and the economy. The book will be of particular
interest to those who simply recall those days by the lineside,
those with an interest in detailed arrangements to provide and
maintain suitable motive power, those with an interest in how the
railway served the needs of the nation and modellers who seek
information. The book is illustrated with colour and monochrome
images and supported by maps.

Effective fruit production requires general knowledge of fruit
husbandry such as nutrition, propagation, pruning and training,
effects of climate and crop protection as well as specific
cultivation techniques for each fruit. Fully revised and expanded
to include organic fruit production, this new edition provides a
thorough introduction to the cultivation of fruit found throughout
the temperate and subtropical regions of the world.
