Will appeal to a wide international readership interested in the
welfare state, social policy, poverty, and charity, by developing
transferable conceptual contributions and undertaking
cross-national comparative analyses. Conceptualises the role of
charity to people who are poor in wealthy countries. Outlines a set
of practical and conceptual ideas for how charity can be
re-imagined to contribute to justice in an unjust society.
First published in 1905, these two volumes together reproduced the
text of Rawlinson MS. B 408 from the Bodleian Library in two parts.
They consist of a preface followed the full Middle English text
with glosses. The initial section of the manuscript is slightly
older and consists of prefixed liturgical pieces such as the
Articles of Excommunication. This follows the common historical
practice of combining manuscripts to encourage their preservation.
The remainder of the text presents the reader with the Register of
the Estates of Godstow Abbey. The manuscript was initially created
as a translation of the Latin register in order to allow the nuns,
who were literate in English but not Latin, to manage their own
estates. This manuscript was, at the time of publication, the only
known complete English-language cartulary made for a monastic
house. It holds significant implications not only for the status,
linguistic development and usage of the English language, but also
for women's history in the church and their socioeconomic agency,
along with the ability of language to both restrict and open doors.
The text includes its own introduction in which the founding of the
Abbey by Dame Edyve of Winchester, first Abbess of Godstow, is
recounted, followed by deeds relating to the local area.

First published in 1913, the publication of this English
translation is of particular interest for those studying the
growing status of English as a formal as well as informal language
in the mid-15th century. The manuscript's varying quality and very
existence raise questions as to its purpose in addition to the
Latin text and its authors' own understanding of English. As for
the manuscript's original audience, this English translation allows
study by those familiar with Middle and Old English, though it
remains reasonably accessible for Modern English speakers. The
volume consists of an extensive scholarly introduction, followed by
the text along with some explanatory glosses. The manuscript
includes some history of the Abbey at Oseney alongside charters
relating to its local area.
What makes people happy? Why should governments care about people's
well-being? How would policy change if well-being was the main
objective? The Origins of Happiness seeks to revolutionize how we
think about human priorities and to promote public policy changes
that are based on what really matters to people. Drawing on a
uniquely comprehensive range of evidence from longitudinal data on
over one hundred thousand individuals in Britain, the United
States, Australia, and Germany, the authors consider the key
factors that affect human well-being. The authors explore factors
such as income, education, employment, family conflict, health,
childcare, and crime--and their findings are not what we might
expect. Contrary to received wisdom, income inequality accounts for
only two percent or less of the variance in happiness across the
population; the critical factors affecting a person's happiness are
their relationships and their mental and physical health. More
people are in misery due to mental illness than to poverty,
unemployment, or physical illness. Examining how childhood
influences happiness in adulthood, the authors show that academic
performance is a less important predictor than emotional health and
behavior, which is shaped tremendously by schools, individual
teachers, and parents. For policymakers, the authors propose new
forms of cost-effectiveness analysis that places well-being at
center stage. Groundbreaking in its scope and results, The Origins
of Happiness offers all of us a new vision for how we might become
more healthy, happy, and whole.

Ten years ago Polar Biology published the book, Weddell Sea
Ecology, containing the European "Polarstern" study EPOS in the
Weddell Sea and Peninsula waters 1988/89. In certain respects, the
present collection of papers, first published in Polar Biology in
2001, is a follow-up as it combines papers partly based on three
"Polarstern" expeditions to the same region. Further articles
relate to both land-based and shipborne studies, again primarily in
the Atlantic sector and around the Antarctic Peninsula. The SCAR
programme, "Ecology of the Antarctic Sea Ice Zone" (EASIZ), served
as an umbrella for a truly international cooperation. Although
funding came exclusively from national sources, 40% of the
scientists on board "Polarstern" were foreigners. Out of the 35
papers of the present volume not less than 14 papers have
multinational authorship. The scope of EASIZ is wider ilian the
Southern Ocean Studies in JGOFS and GLOBEC. The Contents reflect
emphasis on the study of benthos, which hitherto had not received
the necessary attention in the attempt to understand key questions
of evolution and zoogeography of fauna from the Southern
Hemisphere. The information collected under EASIZ enhanced greatly
our recognition of the rather high biodiversity of ilie Antarctic
shelf benthos. In order to extend these studies to ilie deeper
continental slopes and the deep sea, "Polarstern" is presently on
her way for ilie first international survey of deep-sea benthos in
the Atlantic sector of ilie Southern Ocean.
The Antarctic fish fauna has evolved over a long period of
geographic and climatic isolation. In the course of this evolution,
Antarctic fish have developed specialized adaptations, some of
which characterize these organisms as unique. In strong contrast to
the continental shelf faunas elsewhere, the Antarctic shelf
ichthyofauna is dominated by a single highly endemic group, the
Notothenioidei. This group of perciform fish probably first
appeared and diversified in the early Tertiary. The development of
the Polar Front (referred to as the Antarctic Convergence in the
older literature) resulted in a natural oceanographic barrier to
migration in either direction, and thus became a key factor in the
evolution of Antarctic fish. The dominance of the Antarctic
continental shelf fauna by a single taxonomic group of fish
provides a simplified natural laboratory for exploring the wealth
of physiological, biochemical and ecological adaptations that
characterize the fauna. Understanding of the patterns of adaptation
in this highly specialized group of fish can tell us much about of
evolution.
This book takes advantage of new and often surprising biographical
research on the Loder family as a whole and its four main figures,
using them to illustrate aspects of music history in the 19th
century. Musicians of Bath and Beyond: Edward Loder (1809-1865) and
his Family illuminates three areas that have recently attracted
much interest: the musical profession, music in the British
provinces and colonies, and English Romantic opera. The Loder
family was pre-eminent in Bath's musical world in the early
nineteenth century. John David Loder (1788-1846) led the theatre
orchestra there from 1807, and later the Philharmonic orchestra and
Ancient Concerts in London; he also wrote the leading instruction
manual on violin playing and taught violin at the Royal Academy of
Music. His son Edward James (1809-65) was a brilliant but
underrated composer of opera, songs, and piano music. George Loder
(1816-68) was a well-known flautist and conductor who made a name
in New York and eventually settled in Adelaide, where he conducted
the Australian premieres of Les Huguenots, Faust, and other
important operas. Kate Fanny Loder (1825-1904) became a successful
pianist and teacher in early Victorian London, and she is only now
getting her due as a composer. This book takes advantage of new and
often surprising biographical research on the Loder family as a
whole and its four main figures. It uses them to illustrate several
aspects of music history: the position of professional musicians in
Victorian society; music in the provinces, especiallyBath and
Manchester; the Victorian opera libretto; orchestra direction;
violin teaching; travelling musicians in the US and Australasia;
opera singers and companies; and media responses to English opera.
The concluding section isan intense analysis and reassessment of
Edward Loder's music, with special emphasis on his greatest work,
the opera Raymond and Agnes. NICHOLAS TEMPERLEY is Professor
Emeritus of Musicology at the University ofIllinois at
Urbana-Champaign and is a leading authority on Victorian music.
