Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This is a comprehensive study of the 2015 general election in
Britain designed not only for students and scholars of British
politics, but also for the interested reader. It looks at the
record of the Coalition government both in terms of its plans and
performance, particularly in relation to the economy, as the
starting point for understanding what happened. The authors go on
to examine the campaign during the run-up to polling day and to
explain why people voted the way they did. They also take a close
look at the various constituency battlegrounds across the country
showing how and why voting patterns varied across Britain. Finally,
they discuss the implications of the election outcome for the
future of the party system and British politics more generally.
This book provides important insights into an election which has
permanently changed the political geography of Britain.
"Tears of a Son" is a compilation of poetry for anyone who has ever
experienced love, joy, lost, hurt, and pain. This book shows that
there are other ways to find inner self. It was written through the
eyes and mind of the author after a series of emotionally draining
events, which greatly impacted his life for the better. It is
Godwin's unique outlook on life as he came to a crossroad after
trying to do things on his own; he turned to God for answers and it
was revealed to him that the pen is stronger than the sword. Once
he acknowledged God, the Lord worked through his life, towards a
brighter future, with the power of words to set him free. He wants
the inspire others to find their outlet to express themselves in
positive ways, seeking God for guidance in their lives.
The Shape of Thought: How Mental Adaptations Evolve presents a road
map for an evolutionary psychology of the twenty-first century. It
brings together theory from biology and cognitive science to show
how the brain can be composed of specialized adaptations, and yet
also an organ of plasticity. Although mental adaptations have
typically been seen as monolithic, hard-wired components frozen in
the evolutionary past, The Shape of Thought presents a new view of
mental adaptations as diverse and variable, with distinct functions
and evolutionary histories that shape how they develop, what
information they use, and what they do with that information. The
book describes how advances in evolutionary developmental biology
can be applied to the brain by focusing on the design of the
developmental systems that build it. Crucially, developmental
systems can be plastic, designed by the process of natural
selection to build adaptive phenotypes using the rich information
available in our social and physical environments. This approach
bridges the long-standing divide between "nativist" approaches to
development, based on innateness, and "empiricist" approaches,
based on learning. It shows how a view of humans as a flexible,
culturally-dependent species is compatible with a complexly
specialized brain, and how the nature of our flexibility can be
better understood by confronting the evolved design of the organ on
which that flexibility depends.
A clear and succinct presentation of the essentials of this subject, together with some of its applications and a generous helping of interesting exercises. Following an introductory chapter with a taste of what is to come, the next three chapters constitute a course in nonsmooth analysis and identify a coherent and comprehensive approach to the subject, leading to an efficient, natural, and powerful body of theory. The whole is rounded off with a self-contained introduction to the theory of control of ordinary differential equations. The authors have incorporated a number of new results which clarify the relationships between the different schools of thought in the subject, with the aim of making nonsmooth analysis accessible to a wider audience. End-of-chapter problems offer scope for deeper understanding.
Tavistock Press was established as a co-operative venture between
the Tavistock Institute and Routledge & Kegan Paul (RKP) in the
1950s to produce a series of major contributions across the social
sciences. This volume is part of a 2001 reissue of a selection of
those important works which have since gone out of print, or are
difficult to locate. Published by Routledge, 112 volumes in total
are being brought together under the name The International
Behavioural and Social Sciences Library: Classics from the
Tavistock Press. Reproduced here in facsimile, this volume was
originally published in 1964 and is available individually. The
collection is also available in a number of themed mini-sets of
between 5 and 13 volumes, or as a complete collection.
