This Hopkins Chronology describes the poet's family and early
education, then gives a day-by-day account of what he was doing,
reading and writing, and the people he met. Drawing on some
material not published before, it illustrates the working life of a
priest-poet whose work was not made public until more than thirty
years after his death. There are additional sections on the
religious and political background of a major Victorian writer
whose life was essentially enigmatic and private.
It's or Its? Full stop inside or outside the inverted commas?
What's the difference between a semi-colon and a colon? Cooperate
or co-operate? Punctuation For Now describes in a witty but
authoritative way how our present system of punctuation has grown
out of the history of our language. It also indicates the
conventions that govern the best punctuation in the English of
today. The rules are set out clearly, and reinforced by abundant
examples from the work of such authors as Kingsley Amis and Evelyn
Waugh. Anyone with an examination to pass, or with a child who is
learning to use English, or who writes it for a living, will find
Punctuation For Now an invaluable guide and friend.

Safe Water in Healthcare: A Practical and Clinical Guide enables
users from different disciplines to understand all types of
waterborne hazards that can pose a risk to those who might be
exposed, the events which cause them to be present, what may
precipitate an increase in their levels that may cause harm, and
how they can be avoided or managed to reduce risk. The handbook
highlights microorganisms that can cause infections, modes of
transmission, the infections they cause, and risks. The book's
authors draw from their extensive practical experience assisting
with day-to-day problems that range from minor issues to outbreaks.
The book includes case studies on the growth of biofilms and where
they cause problems in water systems as well as providing practical
answers to a majority of issues that arise in healthcare water and
drainage systems. This is an accessible handbook that fills the
gaps for those without technical knowledge for a complex but
important area of infection control. It provides practical guidance
for professionals who are required to design, manage and maintain
water systems and help them manage associated infection outbreaks.
John J. McDermott's anthology, The Philosophy of John Dewey,
provides the best general selection available of the writings of
America's most distinguished philosopher and social critic. This
comprehensive collection, ideal for use in the classroom and
indispensable for anyone interested in the wide scope of Dewey's
thought and works, affords great insight into his role in the
history of ideas and the basic integrity of his philosophy. This
edition combines in one book the two volumes previously published
separately. Volume 1, The Structure of Experience, contains essays
on metaphysics, the logic of inquiry, the problem of knowledge, and
value theory. In volume 2, The Lived Experience, Dewey's writings
on pedagogy, ethics, the aesthetics of the live creature, politics,
and the philosophy of culture are presented. McDermott has prefaced
each essay with a helpful explanatory note and has written an
excellent general introduction to the anthology.
This book traces the trajectory of John J. McDermottas
philosophical career through a selection of his essays. Many were
originally occasional pieces and address specific issues in
American thought and culture. Together they constitute a mosaic of
McDermottas philosophy, showing its roots in an American conception
of experience. Though he draws heavily on the thought of William
James and the pragmatists, McDermott has his own unique perspective
on philosophy and American life. He presents this to the reader in
exquisitely crafted prose. Drawing inspiration from American
history, from existentialist themes, and from personal experiences,
he offers a dramatic consideration of our cultureas failures and
successes.McDermott crosses disciplinary boundaries to draw on
whatever works to help make sense of theissues with which he is
dealingaissues rooted in medical practice, political events,
pedagogical habits, and the worlds of the arts. His work thus
resists simple categorization. It is precisely this that makes his
vibrant prose appealing to so many both inside and outside the
world of American philosophy.
Now back in print, and in paperback, these two classic volumes

"Essays in Religion and Morality" brings together a dozen papers of
varying length to these two themes so crucial to the life and
thought of William James. Reflections on the two subjects permeate,
first, James's presentation of his father's "Literary Remains";
second, his writings on human immortality and the relation between
reason and faith; third, his two memorial pieces, one on Robert
Gould Shaw and the other on Emerson; fourth, his consideration of
the energies and powers of human life; and last, his writings on
the possibilities of peace, especially as found in his famous essay
"The Moral Equivalent of War."
These speeches and essays were written over a period of
twenty-four years. The fact that James did not collect and publish
them himself in a single volume does not reflect on their intrinsic
worth or on their importance in James's philosophical work, since
they include some of the best known and most influential of his
writings. All the essays, throughout their varied subject matter,
are consistently and characteristically Jamesian in the freshness
of their attack on the problems and failings of humankind and in
their steady faith in human powers.
If you enjoy being deceived by a book, you will love "One Kill
Short." "One Kill Short" is a mystery/crime novel which has
mastered the art of misdirection and leaves the reader asking "why
didn't I see it coming?," when the actual conspirators are
ultimately revealed. It is a story about a young lawyer who pursues
a civil case for damages against a former war hero, current head of
a large criminal enterprise, for the attempted contract murder of
his client. The plot thickens when for unknown reasons, local law
enforcement refuse to prosecute. Along the way a forbidden romance
developes which ultimately meets an unexpected end. Although "One
Kill Short" is largely inspired by a true story, it is fiction.
Purposeful fiction. The names and places in this quasi indictment
of law enforcement and the civil and criminal judicial systems have
been changed to protect the writer, as in his words "there are no
innocents with which to be concerned."
The Little Book of E is a non fiction book comprising my thoughts
on fixing America's problems using critical thinking and the
basics: environment, energy, economy and education.
The U.S. involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq demonstrates that in
the twenty-first century the U.S. will become more involved in
stability operations as it continues to deny sanctuaries for
transnational and non-state threats. The reprioritizing of
stability operations and current operations has led the military to
realize that a more comprehensive and inclusive process for
building post conflict peace needed to be developed. A new
framework referred to as Amnesty, Reconciliation, and Reintegration
(AR2) addresses this. The framework explains that a lasting peace
is built or shaped by enabling a common societal level change to
take place. This societal level change is brought about by
reforming or creating new and inclusive elements of society that
generally fall into the economic, political, or security dimensions
of society. The monograph examines the policies of the two
different Reconstruction plans executed in the United States after
the U.S. Civil War though the lens of AR2. The Reconstruction case
study provides an example of how a failure to understand the
interaction of the different societal dimensions prevents a lasting
peace from being built.

"Essays in Philosophy" brings together twenty-one essays, reviews,
and occasional pieces published by James between 1876 and 1910.
They range in subject from a concern with the teaching of
philosophy and appraisals of philosophers to analyses of important
problems.
Several of the essays, like "The Sentiment of Rationality" and
"The Knowing of Things Together," are of particular significance in
the development of the views of James's later works. All of them,
as John McDermott says in his Introduction, are in a style that is
"engaging and personal...witty, acerbic, compassionate, and
polemical." Whether he is writing an article for the "Nation" of a
definition of "Experience" for Baldwin's "Dictionary" or "The Mad
Absolute" for the "Journal of Philosophy," James is always
unmistakably himself, and always readable.
