International experts from law, economics and political science
provide in-depth analysis of international trade issues. Attorneys,
economists and political scientists adopt a common viewpoint,
entitled 'transcending the ostensible'. This approach directs
particular attention to the possibility that WTO legal
institutions, like other international legal institutions, will
function in unexpected ways due to the political and economic
conditions of the international environment in which they have been
created, and in which they operate. A range of trade problems are
considered here. Topics include the constitutional dimensions of
international trade law, adding subjects and restructuring existing
subjects to international trade law, the legal relations between
developed and developing countries, and the operation of the WTO
dispute settlement procedure. This will be an essential volume for
professionals and academics involved with international trade
policy.
The Evolutionary Emergence of Language covers the origins and early evolution of language. Its main purpose is to synthesize current thinking on this topic, particularly from a standpoint in theoretical linguistics. It is suitable for students of human evolution, evolutionary psychology, linguistic anthropology and general linguistics. It is the outcome of a major international conference on the evolution of language and includes contributions from many of the best known figures in this field. Very few truly interdisciplinary volumes on this topic have previously been published.
Language has no counterpart in the animal world. Unique to Homo
sapiens, it appears inseparable from human nature. But how, when
and why did it emerge? The contributors to this volume - linguists,
anthropologists, cognitive scientists, and others - adopt a modern
Darwinian perspective which offers a bold synthesis of the human
and natural sciences. As a feature of human social intelligence,
language evolution is driven by biologically anomalous levels of
social cooperation. Phonetic competence correspondingly reflects
social pressures for vocal imitation, learning, and other forms of
social transmission. Distinctively human social and cultural
strategies gave rise to the complex syntactical structure of
speech. This book, presenting language as a remarkable social
adaptation, testifies to the growing influence of evolutionary
thinking in contemporary linguistics. It will be welcomed by all
those interested in human evolution, evolutionary psychology,
linguistic anthropology, and general linguistics.

This edited collection charts the rise and the fall of the self,
from its emergence as an autonomous agent during the Enlightenment,
to the modern-day selfie self, whose existence is realised only
through continuous external validation. Tracing the trajectory of
selfhood in its historical development - from the Reformation
onwards - the authors introduce the classic liberal account of the
self, based on ideas of freedom and autonomy, that dominated
Enlightenment discourse. Subsequent chapters explore whether this
traditional notion has been eclipsed by new, more rigid, categories
of identity, that alienate the self from itself and its
possibilities: what I am, it seems, has become more important than
what I might make of myself. These changing dynamics of selfhood -
the transition From Self to Selfie - reveal not only the peculiar
ways in which selfhood is problematized in contemporary society,
but equally the tragic fragility of the selfie, in the absence of
any social authority that could give it some security.
Sabrinae Corolla, published in 1850, takes its name from a poem by
John Milton. It is a collection of poems from a wide range of
sources, mainly in English but also in German, Greek and Italian,
with translations into Greek or Latin on the facing page. It was
edited by the Victorian classicist Benjamin Hall Kennedy (1804
1889), most famous for his Latin primer (also available in this
series), and the translations were made by some of Kennedy's former
students at Shrewsbury School, who are named in a separate list.
The book contains Latin versions of works including the
eighteenth-century Scottish poet Tobias Smollett's My Native
Stream, the German Friedrich Schiller's Hektors Abschied, and Greek
renditions of Shelley's The World's Wanderers and Voltaire's
Enigma. It also includes nine illustrations.
Contributing Authors Include Paul K. Benedict, Nicholas C. Bodman,
Oscar Broneer, And Others.

The International Spenser Colloquium, sponsored by St Thomas
University and the University of New Brunswick, was held in
Fredericton in 1969 to celebrate the four hundredth anniversary of
Spenser's first appearance in print in A Theatre for Wordlings. The
intention of the colloquium was to honour a great poet for the
pleasure and profit his work continues to give and to promote
understanding of his poetry through lectures, discussions, and
proposals for future lines of exploration. The six original essays
on Spenser's poetry contained in this volume were first presented
at the colloquium. While there is a central concern with The Faerie
Queene, the essays range widely through Spenser's works and treat
many aspects of his poetic vision and artistry: his comic vein and
his melancholy, his learning and his realism, his grand designs and
his richness of detail. In their variety and vivacity the essays
amply demonstrate the powerful appeal that Spenser's poetry exerts
today and the quality of response it elicits
