Originally published in 1914, this text describes L.T. Headland and
his wife's experience in China in the early twentieth century. With
a focus on home life this study explores issues such as children,
marriage and education as well as food, religion and concubinage as
well as presenting anecdotes and personal stories from the families
Headland interacted with. This title will be of interest to
students of Asian Studies and Anthropology.
States across the globe spend billions of dollars fighting
terrorism annually. As well as strategic questions about the way in
which the money should be spent, we are also confronted with a host
of moral issues here, many of which are poorly understood. The
Ethics of Counterterrorism offers the first systematic normative
theory for guiding, assessing, and criticising counterterrorist
policy. Many commentators claim that state actors combating
terrorism should set aside ordinary moral and legal frameworks, and
instead bind themselves by a different (and, generally, more
permissive) set of ethical rules than is appropriate in other
areas. The book assesses arguments for this view, and more
specifically investigates whether widely-endorsed restrictions on
state action in the areas of surveillance, policing, armed
conflict, criminal justice, diplomacy, and cultural integration
need to be weakened when we are confronted with terrorist threats.
With its novel overall framework for assessing counterterrorist
strategies, its comprehensive analysis of existing practices, and
its bringing the tools of analytic philosophy to bear on new
questions regarding how states can fight terrorism both effectively
and morally, The Ethics of Counterterrorism promises to be an
important point of reference for future debates in this area.

Isaac Taylor (1787 1865) was known as Isaac Taylor of Stanford
Rivers, to distinguish him from his father, Isaac Taylor of Ongar,
engraver and dissenting minister. He, his brother Jefferys, and
their sisters Ann and Jane, were all writers, and their mother was
the well-known 'Mrs Taylor of Ongar', some of whose books are also
reissued in this series. The younger Isaac felt drawn to the Church
of England, and made a name for himself with studies of the Church
Fathers and the classics (he is said to have coined the word
'patristic'). This two-volume collection of writings by three
generations of the Taylor family was compiled and published in 1867
by the Isaac Taylor of the next generation. Volume 1 contains
Taylor of Stanford Rivers's 'Family Pen', an appreciation of him by
his son, and his memoir of his sister Jane, a well-known writer for
children."

'Display' by Jane Taylor."
The philosopher and literary author Isaac Taylor (1787 1865)
published this book anonymously in 1836. The work is a development
of two earlier works: Saturday Evening (1832) and Natural History
of Enthusiasm (1829), all three attempts to provide a philosophy to
deal with the major problems and spiritual questions of the day.
The popularity of Physical Theory led to Taylor relinquishing his
previous anonymity. The work is a religious and philosophically
speculative exploration of the possible paths of knowledge to
information regarding the future existence of human beings. Taylor
believed that knowledge of the human physical constitution could be
used to conjecture information about the modes of human eternal
life and eternity's scheme of moral duties. The work was very
popular among contemporaries and offers today an important insight
into Victorian intellectual life. It is a rich source for
historians of nineteenth-century religious philosophy.
