This collection of poems - some playful, others serious - is
intended to highlight the destruction of our environment at the
hands of capitalism. I have also put forward the alternative, a
society where wealth is shared, rather than hoarded, and used for
the common good. A planet where the vast majority of its citizens -
the 99% - are in control, not a tiny elite, to allow us to plan our
economy to solve environmental threats.
Introducing Political Philosophy is a thought-provoking
introduction that invites readers to consider and analyse the
philosophical controversies that underpin several prominent areas
of political debate. The opening chapter familiarises students with
the aims and methods of political philosophy. It explains the tools
required to practice the discipline, and discusses how to apply
these to political arguments. Each of the fifteen subsequent
chapters focuses on a distinct area of public policy, such as
affirmative action, humanitarian intervention, immigration, and
parental leave. The authors introduce students to the moral
questions that lie at the heart of these political disputes, as
well as to some of the relevant academic literature. The authors
believe that the best way to learn about political philosophy is to
see it in action. By arguing for a position in each chapter and
defending it against criticisms, they demonstrate to students how
political philosophy can inform our analysis of public policy.
Introducing Political Philosophy is available for students and
institutions to purchase in a variety of formats, and is supported
by online resources. The e-book offers a mobile experience and
convenient access along with hyperlinks a list of web-links, and

influence them: www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/ebooks. * Student

`The excitement of reading David Attwooll's poems lies in the
poet's intense relationship to language and the verbal and textual
musicianship with which he treats his subject matter. From the
Goths, Transylvanians and teenage samurai, escaped from the pages
of books, to email spam or jazz, to memories about childhood and
place, these poems capture Attwooll's delight in the world around
him.' Jenny Lewis
