The work of Jean-Luc Nancy has been taken up by writers ranging from Jacques Derrida to Claude Lefort and all his major works have been translated into English. As many struggle to find meaning at the end of philosophy, his writing has provided the impulse for contemporary philosophical debates around the questions of community, the political and freedom. Situating his work in an explicitly contemporary context - the collapse of communism, the Gulf War, the former Yugoslavia - Nancy has forced the reader to rethink nothing less than what "doing" philosophy entails. The result has been his theory of a loss of "sense", which far from being catastrophic, allows us to think sense, art and community anew. This volume explores this and other ideas in Nancy's work and provides insights into one of the most contemporary philosophers writing in the 20th century. The full range of Nancy's work as a philosopher of the "contemporary" is considered, allowing us to see his engagement with Hegel, Marx, Nietzche, Heidegger, Bataille and Derrida.

This book, first published under the title "Urban Geography - A First Approach" serves as an introduction to the field of urban geography and offers a balance between studies of systems of cities on the one hand and specific cities on the other. It is designed to provide a broad introduction to the study of urban geography as part of a discipline which has experienced rapid change in the past two decades and also to demonstrate ways in which geographers have become far more involved in the more general interdisciplinary field of urban studies.

Another adventure for Gallifrey's favourite son. The Doctor (Tom Baker) is captured by the tribe of the Sevateem after landing on a strange alien world. He is befriended by Leela (Louise Jameson), a savage young warrior who tells him that her people recognise and fear him as the Evil One. Intrigued, the Doctor discovers that his own face is carved on a local rock face, reputed to be the home of the god Xoanon. Is the Doctor in some way responsible for Xoanon's presence, and can he prevent tribal warfare from breaking out? Also included is Louise Jameson's appearance on 'Swap Shop' to publicise her debut as Leela.
