If it is not generally known that the foundations of
twentieth-century criticism of Shakespeare's imagery were laid over
one hundred and fifty years ago, the explanation lies in the
limited availability of the single original edition of Walter
Whiter's Specimen of a Commentary on Shakspeare published in 1794.
In an age in which the study of Shakespeare's characters was of
prime interest and importance, Whiter - a classical scholar who
took holy orders and ended his life as a country parson - developed
a form of textual criticism closely linked to a study of the
workings of the human mind: and his book offers a psychological
survey of the creative imagination, following the principles laid
down in Locke's Essay on Human Understanding and illustrated by
examples from Shakespeare's plays. In his realization that
Shakespeare provides the finest examples of the poetic imagination
Whiter is of his time: but in his particular study of the
associative powers of such a mind engaged in the process of
creation, he is far in advance of his time and has no immediate
disciples in the later nineteenth century. In the twentieth
century, however, there was an increasing acknowledgement of
Whiter's work and a more frequent appeal for the reissue of his
book. Originally published in 1967, the present edition was started
in response to that appeal more than ten years before Mr Alan
Over's tragic death in 1964 and incorporates the revisions and
additions made by Whiter for his own projected second edition.

Combining twenty-six original essays written by an impressive
line-up of distinguished physicists and philosophers of physics,
this anthology reflects some of the latest thoughts by leading
experts on the influence of Bell's theorem on quantum physics.
Essays progress from John Bell's character and background, through
studies of his main work, and on to more speculative ideas,
addressing the controversies surrounding the theorem, and
investigating the theorem's meaning and its deep implications for
the nature of physical reality. Combined, they present a powerful
comment on the undeniable significance of Bell's theorem for the
development of ideas in quantum physics over the past 50 years.
Questions surrounding the assumptions and significance of Bell's
work still inspire discussion in the field of quantum physics.
Adding to this with a theoretical and philosophical perspective,
this balanced anthology is an indispensable volume for students and
researchers interested in the philosophy of physics and the
foundations of quantum mechanics.
This book is the most complete collection of John S Bell's research
papers, review articles and lecture notes on the foundations of
quantum mechanics. Some of this material has hitherto been
difficult to access. The book also appears in a paperback edition,
aimed at students and young researchers. This volume will be very
useful to researchers in the foundations and applications of
quantum mechanics.

Move past anxiety and discover what really matters to you. Written
by three experts in teen mental health, this powerful workbook
offers evidence-based activities grounded in acceptance and
commitment therapy (ACT) to help you cope with anxiety, build
resilience, stop avoiding the things you fear, and lead a fuller,
happier life. Anxiety is what we feel when we're scared about some
future event that may or may not happen. When you're struggling
with anxiety your mind is trying to protect you from danger, so
it's busy telling you about all the things you can't do. Along with
these thoughts come a host of feelings and bodily sensations-such
as sweaty palms, restlessness, lightheadedness, and stomach aches.
But it's not the anxious thoughts that make anxiety a problem. It's
the actions we take, or don't take, as a result of these thoughts.
In The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Teen Anxiety, you'll
find helpful alternatives to the ineffective strategies and habits
you're currently using to deal with anxiety, such as avoidance.
You'll find basic information about anxiety to help you recognize
what it looks and feels like, mindfulness tips to help you stay in
the moment when you feel worried about the future, and tips to help
you connect with your own values so you can start putting the
important things in life first.
