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.

James Bradley Wells shares his poet's soul and scholar's eye in
this thought-provoking new translation of two of Vergil's early
works, the Eclogues and Georgics. With its emphasis on a natural
rather than stylized rhythm, Eclogues and Georgics honors the
original spirit of ancient Roman poetry as both a written and
performance-based art form. The accompanying introductory essays
situate both sets of poems in a rich literary tradition. Wells
provides historical context and literary analysis of these two
works, eschewing facile interpretations of these oft examined texts
and ensconcing them in the society and culture from which they
originated. The translations in Eclogues and Georgics are augmented
with annotated essays, a pronunciation guide, and a glossary. These
supplementary materials, alongside Wells's bold vision for what
translation choices can reveal, promote radically democratizing
access for readers with an interest in classics or poetry.
Plunge into the depths of the unknown in this thrilling work of
nonfiction, combining history, science, nature writing, and
environmentalism, that invites its reader to explore the deepest
recesses of our natural world. Oceans created, shaped, and sustain
not just human life, but all life on Planet Earth, and perhaps
beyond it. They are our history — from evolution to exploration
and colonialism; our present — from beach holidays to
transporting food and goods; and our future — we cannot survive
if sea levels are too low or too high, temperatures too cold or too
warm. They are also vast spaces of immense wonder and beauty, and
our relationship to them is innate and awe-inspired. Deep Water is
both a personal and wide-ranging reckoning with our complex
relationship with the natural world, a book shaped by tidal
movements and deep currents, lit by the presence of other minds and
other ways of being. It speaks directly and uncompromisingly of the
pressing urgency of the environmental catastrophe that is
overtaking us, but is also suffused with the glories of the ocean,
and the extraordinary efforts of the scientists and researchers
whose work helps us to understand its secrets. For it is in this
work, and the new ways of seeing it offers us, that we will find a
means to understand our relationship not just with the planet, but
our past, and perhaps most importantly, our future.
In the fields of metaphysics and epistemology, ethics and political
thought, idealism can generate controversy and disagreement. This
title is part of the "Idealism" series, which finds in idealism new
features of interest and a perspective which is germane to our own
philosophical concerns. This text is a collection of essays
analyzing the impact of the thought of F.H. Bradley (1846-1924) on
philosophy throughout the English-speaking world. Bradley's complex
version of absolute idealism plays a key role not only in idealist
philosophy, politics and ethics, but also in the development of
modern logic, of analytical philosophy, and of pragmatism, as well
as in the thinking of figures such as R.G. Collingwood and A.N.
Whitehead. The work of a group of Canadian philosophers writing
from widely different standpoints, the essays in this volume define
both the nature and scale of Bradley's influence and continuing
significance in large areas of debate in 20th-century philosophy.
Topics covered include: the history of idealism in the 20th
century; Bradley's relation to figures such as Bernard Bosanquet,
C.A. Campbell, Brand Blanshard, John Watson, John Dewey, R.G.
Collingwood, and A.N. Whitehead; Bradley's influence on
20th-century empiricism, modern logic, and analytical philosophy;
and his significance for contemporary debates in epistemology and
ethics.
Enter a world where demons still stalk the earth. Fortunately, the
Vatican Elite Force is there to make sure that they don't steal
souls without a fight.
Now, one of the Vatican's best special agents and assassins -
Father Domenico Marsala - is on his most important mission yet:
He's tracking down Asmodais Winters, the demon prince of lust who
has already survived four assassination attempts.
Iblis, the self-proclaimed King of the Jinn, has ordered
Asmodais to revisit America in a bid to draw more human followers
to the evil side. The mission holds special significance to
Asmodais, who wants to find his daughter and former lover so he can
bring them back to Paris.
The Vatican Elite Force thinks that it has a good shot of
ridding the world of the demon prince once and for all, but Father
Marsala is about to face evil on a scale that he never imagined.
Join him as he follows a path that features plenty of intrigue,
lust and unexpected twists on the way to Fighting Evil.
