This book describes William Dawes’ life and professional
achievements. William Dawes was a British Marine serving as the
official astronomer on board the First Fleet making the 1787–1788
voyage from Britain to the new colony of New South Wales. Between
1788 and 1791, Dawes established not one but two observatories
within a kilometre of Sydney’s present-day city centre, a full
seven decades before the construction of Sydney’s historical
Observatory at Dawes’ Point, today a stone’s throw from the
Sydney Harbour Bridge. In this comprehensive biography, the authors
discuss William Dawes’ life and his considerable impact—as
astronomer, engineer, surveyor, ordnance officer and intellectual
centre point—on the early colony in New South Wales (in essence,
his impact on the earliest history of Sydney as a settlement) and,
subsequently, on the British colonies of Sierra Leone on the West
African coast and Antigua in the West Indies. Dawes’ life and
professional achievements are closely linked to the earliest
history of Sydney as a British settlement. He is often considered a
man of high morals, and as such his interactions with the local
populations in New South Wales, Sierra Leone and Antigua were
mostly deemed respectful and above reproach. He is seen a truly
enlightened individual, far ahead of his time. The authors of this
book have a significant track record of successful and engaging
communication of complex concepts in physics and astronomy with
experts and non-experts alike. This biography touches on numerous
aspects related to 18th century maritime navigation (“sailing on
the stars”), societal relationships, the exploration of newly
discovered lands, as well as the early history of Sydney and New
South Wales, and the colonial histories of Sierra Leone and the
West Indies. As such, this book will appeal to a wide range of
readers, from scholars in the history of science and maritime
navigation, to history enthusiasts ranging from local historians on
Australia’s eastern seaboard to members of the public with a keen
interest in British colonial history.
While philosophers have been interested in animals since ancient
times, in the last few decades the subject of animal minds has
emerged as a major topic in philosophy. The Routledge Handbook of
Philosophy of Animal Minds is an outstanding reference source to
the key topics, problems, and debates in this exciting subject and
is the first collection of its kind. Comprising nearly fifty
chapters by a team of international contributors, the Handbook is
divided into eight parts: Mental representation Reasoning and
metacognition Consciousness Mindreading Communication Social
cognition and culture Association, simplicity, and modeling Ethics.
Within these sections, central issues, debates, and problems are
examined, including: whether and how animals represent and reason
about the world; how animal cognition differs from human cognition;
whether animals are conscious; whether animals represent their own
mental states or those of others; how animals communicate; the
extent to which animals have cultures; how to choose among
competing models and explanations of animal behavior; and whether
animals are moral agents and/or moral patients. The Routledge
Handbook of Philosophy of Animal Minds is essential reading for
students and researchers in philosophy of mind, philosophy of
psychology, ethics, and related disciplines such as ethology,
biology, psychology, linguistics, and anthropology.
This collection explores how the body became a touchstone for late
antique religious practice and imagination. When we read the
stories and testimonies of late ancient Christians, what different
types of bodies stand before us? How do we understand the range of
bodily experiences-solitary and social, private and public-that
clothed ancient Christians? How can bodily experience help us
explore matters of gender, religious identity, class, and
ethnicity? The Garb of Being investigates these questions through
stories from the Eastern Christian world of antiquity: monks and
martyrs, families and congregations, and textual bodies.

Many people have asked me why I've written this book. The reason is
simple. Although I have lived around diabetes since I was seven
years old, even though several of my friends and neighbours were
diagnosed with the condition years ahead of my own recent
diagnosis, it wasn't until I was diagnosed that I truly realised
the terrifying level of apathy and denial there is about diabetes,
the minefield of misinformation that is out there, nor how enormous
the spread of this global pandemic has become. There are countless
books and theories and claims and counterclaims about diabetes, and
in no way is this modest little publication designed to be the
ultimate authority on the disease - far from it. No, my reason for
doing this is to make you laugh, make you think, wake you up and
show you both how easy and how important it is that you take
responsibility and take it seriously... NOW. My father was a
pharmaceutical chemist, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Health
(London), chairman of an international pharmaceutical company...
and a diabetic. He was diagnosed with Type Two diabetes when he was
36 years old, slim bordering on skinny, active and otherwise
healthy. His career began in medical research and ultimately took
him all over the world from the darkest corners of West Africa to
the most fashionable quarters of Paris and the Caribbean. In the
process he met some of the finest medical minds on the planet (many
of whom are still my personal friends) and he witnessed some
horrors that defy belief... and he did all this as a diabetic.
Open, raw, honest, at times funny, at times poignant, at times
unapologetically confrontational, this book is designed to inspire,
assist and guide you - particularly if you are pre-diabetic, newly
diagnosed with diabetes Type Two, or if you are a friend or family
member of a diabetic. All facts and statistics in this book have
sources from the official authorities on diabetes... my irreverent
language and tone have not * Enjoy * Be inspired * Take action
