Providing a thorough review of the concept of the Institutional
Repository (IR) the book examines how they can be set up,
maintained and embedded into general institutional working
practice. Specific reference is made to capturing certain types of
research material such as E-Theses and E-Prints and what the issues
are with regard to obtaining the material, ensuring that all legal
grounds are covered and then storing the material in perpetuity.
General workflow and administrative processes that may come up
during the implementation and maintenance of an IR are discussed.
The authors notes that there are a number of different models that
have been adopted worldwide for IR management, and these are
discussed. Finally, a case study of the inception of the Edinburgh
Research Archive is provided which takes the user through the long
path from conception to completion of an IR, examining the highs
and lows of the process and offering advice for other implementers.
This allows the book the opportunity to introduce extensive
practical experience in unexpected areas such as mediated deposit.

Probability is relevant to so many different subject areas that its
importance as a mathematical technique cannot be underestimated.
This book provides a comprehensive, user-friendly introduction to
the subject. The step-by-step approach taken by the author allows
students to develop knowledge at their own pace and, by working
through the numerous exercises, they are ensured a full
understanding of the material before moving on to more advanced
sections. Traditional examples of probablistic theory, such as
coins and dice, are included but the author has also used many
exercises based on real-life problems. The result is an
introduction to probability that avoids the overly confusing,
theoretical approach often adopted in this area, and provides a
simple and concise text that will be invaluable to all studying
first and second year courses on the subject.

Few modern thinkers have been as convinced of the necessity of
recovering the past in order to redeem the present as Walter
Benjamin (1892-1940). Benjamin at once mourned and celebrated what
he took to be an inevitable liquidation of traditional culture, and
his determination to think both of these attitudes through to their
conclusions lends his work its peculiar honesty, along with its
paradoxical, antinomial coherence. In a landmark interpretation of
the whole of Benjamin's career, John McCole demonstrates a way of
understanding Benjamin that both contextualizes and addresses the
complexities and ambiguities of his texts. Working with Pierre
Bourdieu's concept of the "intellectual field," McCole traces
Benjamin's deep ambivalence about cultural tradition through the
longterm project-an immanent critique of German idealist and
romantic aesthetics-which unites his writings. McCole builds a
sustained reading of Benjamin's intellectual development which
sheds new light on the formative role of early
influences-particularly his participation in the pre-World War I
German youth movement and the orthodox discourse of German
intellectual culture-and shows how Benjamin later extended the
strategies he learned within these contexts during key encounters
with Weimar modernism, surrealism, and the fiction of Proust. The
fullest account of Benjamin available in English, this lucid and
penetrating book will be welcomed by intellectual historians,
literary theorists and critics, historians of German literature,
and Continental philosophers.
