EMERGENT EVOLUTION- THE GIFFORD LECTURES DELIVERED IN THE
UNIVERSITY OF ST. ANDREWS IN THE YEAR 1922 by C. LLOYD MORGAN.
Originally published in 1923. PREFACE: HALF a century ago, as years
run, a student was called on to take the chair at a dinner in
connection with the Royal School of Mines. Members of the staff
were present. And the fortunate youth was honoured by the support
of Professor Huxley. Which of the lines of science you have
followed has chiefly engaged your interest Following up the thread
of my reply, he drew from me the confession that an interest in
philosophy, and in the general scheme of things, lay deeper than my
interest in the practical applications of science to what then
purported to be my bread-and butter training. With sympathetic
kindliness that soon dispelled my fear of him he led me to speak
more freely, to tell him how this came about, what J had read, and
so on. That such a man should care to know what Berkeley and Hume
had done for me what I had got from Descartes Discourse how I was
just then embrangled in difficulties over Spinoza filled me with
glad surprise. His comments were so ripe and they were made to help
me Whatever else you may do, he said, keep that light burning. But
remember that biology has supplied a new and powerful illuminant.
Then speeches began. His parting words were When you have reached
the goal of your course, why not come and spend a year with us at
South Kensington So when I had gained the diploma of which so
little direct use was to be made, and when my need of the
illuminant, and my lack of intimate acquaintance with the facts on
which the new lamp shed light, had been duly impressed on me during
a visit to North America andBrazil, I followed his advice, attended
his lectures, and worked in his laboratory. On one of the memorable
occasions when he beckoned me to come to his private room he spoke
of St. George Mivart s Genesis of Species. I had asked him some
questions thereon a few days before to which he was then too busy
to reply and he gave me this opportunity of repeating them. Mivart
had said If then such innate powers must be attributed to chemical
atoms, to mineral species, to gemmules, and to physiological units,
it is only reasonable to attribute such to each individual organism
p. 260, I asked on what grounds this line of approach was
unreasonable for even then there was lurking within me some touch
of Pelagian heresy in matters evolutionary. Far from snub bing a
youthful heretic he dealt kindly with him. The question, he said,
was open to discussion but he thought Mivarts position was based on
considerations other than scientific. Any analogy between the
growth of a crystal and the development of an organism was of very
doubtful validity. Yes, Sir 1 I said, save in this that both invite
us to distinguish between an internal factor and the incidence of
external conditions He then asked what I under stood by innate
powers, saying that for Mivart they were the substantial forms of
scholastic tradition. I ventured to suggest that the School men and
their modern disciples were trying to explain what men of science
must perhaps just accept on the evidence. And I asked whether for
an innate power in the organism one might substitute what he had
taught us to call an internal metamorphic tendency which must be as
distinctly recognised as that of an internal conservative tendency
H. E. ii. p. 116. Ofcourse you may so long as you regard this
merely as an ex pression of certain facts at present unexplained. n
I then asked whether it was in this sense one should accept his
statement that nature does make leaps ii. pp. 77, 97 and, if this
were so, whether the difference on which Mivart laid so much stress
that between the mental capacities of animals and of men might not
be regarded as a natural leap in evolutionary progress. This was
the point to which I was leading up...
This timely and incisive study reads contemporary literature and
visual culture from the American South through the lens of cultural
memory. Rooting texts in their regional locations, the book
interrupts and questions the dominant trends in Southern Studies,
providing a fresh and nuanced view of twenty-first-century texts.
The field of programme evaluation is shaped by an ever-increasing
range of approaches each of which, to varying degrees, reflects
evaluation's dual role as a theoretical endeavour and a form of
socio-political inquiry. There is an array of approaches, each
emphasizing different purposes and endorsing different
methodologies to guide practice. Yet, no matter which goals are
pursued and which methods are employed, all evaluation involves an
effort to conceptualize, comprehend, and convey the quality of the
programme. This volume brings together the work of certain
evaluators to explore the evaluation of programme quality. Through
conceptual descriptions and applied examples they discuss the
theoretical concerns and practical issues that give rise to their
particular conceptions of quality, the methodologies they employ to
pursue an understanding of these conceptions, and the
representational forms they employ to convey their understanding to
stakeholders.
This reissue, first published in 1982, is concerned with the rapid
contemporary metropolitan development in the Third World, at a time
when manufacturing and public service sectors were expending at a
terrific rate. Nevertheless, the phenomenal growth of the
metropolitan cities brings with it an increase in social
equalities, such that two thirds of the population of these cities
may be described as the urban poor'. This book concerns itself with
the question: Can we describe these urban poor as a proletariat',
or are such Western class terms totally inappropriate to the
development of the Third World? Peter Lloyd examines the nature of
Western class terminology derived largely from Marx and Weber, and
assesses its utility in the analysis of Third World Urban society.
An assessment is also made of the political strength of the urban
poor, whether they are mobilising themselves or being mobilised
from above. This reissue will be relevant to courses on Development
studies and the Third World; it will also find a wider readership
amongst social stratification and urban sociology.
First published in 1974, this study, by a social anthropologist
who has lived, taught and researched in Nigeria, explores how the
Yoruba of Nigeria living in Ibadan and Lagos perceive the society
in which they live. Their views on stratification and social
inequality in particular are related to traditional Yoruba concepts
and to their experiences in education, migration and present social
and occupational relationships. It is shown that, in general, these
recent migrants and city dwellers see their society as open; they
emphasise achievement rather than class opposition. Recent protest
a " industrial strikes in Lagos, the Agbekoya peasant rebellion in
Ibadan a " are assessed in the light of these attitudes.
This book is about how people behaved during the German occupation
of France during the Second World War, and more specifically about
how individuals from differeent social and political backgrounds
recorded and reflected on their experiences during and after these
tragic events. The book focuses in particular on the concepts of
treason and sacrifice, as they affected the behaviour of
individuals and groups and their relationship to the nation state.
An introductory overview, discussing problems of representation,
moral issues and the nature of collaboration and resistance, is
followed by contextualised case-studies in the areas of politics,
daily life, civil administration, paramilitary action, literature
and film. The figures examined are chosen not only because of their
representative or even iconic nature but also because most of them
left a record expressing their own vision of the occupation. This
is very much an interdisciplinary study, linking political,
historical, moral and cultural ideas.

In the summer of 1910 a symposium on the subject of Instinct and
Intelligence was held in London at a joint meeting of the
Aristotelian and British Psychological Societies and of the Mind
association. Considerable interest in the discussion was shown both
in the room in which we met and beyond its walls. The papers then
taken as read, and subsequently published in the "British Journal
of Psychology," disclose not a little divergence in the sense in
which the terms instinctive and intelligent are used, an underlying
divergence in the principles on which the proffered interpretations
are based, and indications, more or less clear, of yet
deeper-seated differences of philosophical foundation.

"Vocational Rehabilitation and Mental Health" is a practical guide
for all members of the healthcare team to implementing effective
services leading to sustained career development among people with
mental illness. It examines the barriers to employment such as
stigma, discrimination and fluctuating health and discusses the
evidence underpinning the provision of effective employment
services. The book goes on to examine some of the challenges with
implementing evidence-based practice and discusses ways to overcome
these challenges.
"Clinical Management in Mental Health Services" is a practical
guide to the day to day operational management of mental health
teams. It explores both the theoretical aspects of management plus
strategies for dealing with the wide range of management issues
faced by managers working in mental health. It looks at issues such
as leading a multidisciplinary team, Communication and Public
Relations, the importance of clinical supervision, evidence-based
practice, and quality assurance. It addresses the issue of workload
management, clinical information management, how to plan a budget
and how to manage stress.
