This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12 th
International Symposium on Privacy Enhancing Technologies, PET
2012, held in Vigo, Spain, in July 2012. The 16 full papers
presented were carefully selected from 72 submissions. Topics
addressed include anonymization of statistics, content, and
traffic, network traffic analysis, censorship-resistant systems,
user profiling, training users in privacy risk management, and
privacy of internet and cloud-bases services. A further highlight
is the HotPETS session, designed as a venue to present existing but
still preliminary and evolving ideas.
Matthew Wright brings Menander’s Samia to life by explaining how
it achieves its comic effects and how it fits within the broader
context of fourth-century Greek drama and society. He offers a
scene-by-scene reading of the play, combining close attention to
detail with broader consideration of major themes, in an approach
designed to bring out the humour and nuance of each individual
moment on stage, while also illuminating Menander’s comic art.
The play dramatizes a tangled story of mistakes, mishaps and
misapprehensions leading up to the marriage of Moschion and
Plangon. For most of the action the characters are at odds with one
another owing to accidental delusions or deliberate deceptions, and
it seems as if the marriage will be cancelled or indefinitely
postponed; but ultimately everyone’s problems are solved and the
play ends happily. Samia is one of the best-preserved examples of
fourth-century Greek comedy: celebrated within antiquity but
subsequently lost for many years, it miraculously came back to
light, in almost complete form, as a result of Egyptian papyrus
finds during the 20th century.
Over six previous editions, Twelve Theories of Human Nature has
been a remarkably popular introduction to some of the most
influential developments in Western and Eastern thought. Now titled
Thirteen Theories of Human Nature, the seventh edition adds a
chapter on feminist theory to those on Confucianism, Hinduism,
Buddhism, Plato, Aristotle, the Bible, Islam, Kant, Marx, Freud,
Sartre, and Darwinism. The authors juxtapose the ideas of these and
other thinkers and traditions in a way that helps students
understand how humanity has struggled to comprehend its nature. To
encourage students to think critically for themselves and to
underscore the similarities and differences between the many
theories, the book examines each one on four points-the nature of
the universe, the nature of humanity, the diagnosis of the ills of
humanity, and the proposed cure for these problems. Ideal for
introductory courses in human nature, introduction to philosophy,
and intellectual history, this unique volume will engage and
motivate students and other readers to consider how we can
understand and improve both ourselves and human society.
Finding Answers in U.S. Census Records is a comprehensive
guide to understanding and using U.S. Census records, in particular
those of the federal census. Aimed at the general family history
audience, this book is especially useful for the beginning to
intermediate researcher. Along with a description of the history
and structure of the federal census there is a guide to each
decennial census. Three appendixes offer a description of major
census data providers, major state and national archives with
census collections, and specially designed census extraction forms.
Includes a complete index.
What do Americans want from immigration policy and why? In the rise
of a polarized and acrimonious immigration debate, leading accounts
see racial anxieties and disputes over the meaning of American
nationhood coming to a head. The resurgence of parochial identities
has breathed new life into old worries about the vulnerability of
the American Creed. This book tells a different story, one in which
creedal values remain hard at work in shaping ordinary Americans'
judgements about immigration. Levy and Wright show that perceptions
of civic fairness - based on multiple, often competing values
deeply rooted in the country's political culture - are the dominant
guideposts by which most Americans navigate immigration
controversies most of the time and explain why so many Americans
simultaneously hold a mix of pro-immigrant and anti-immigrant
positions. The authors test the relevance and force of the theory
over time and across issue domains.

Numerous books have been written about Greek tragedy, but almost
all of them are concerned with the 32 plays that still survive.
This book, by contrast, concentrates on the plays that no longer
exist. Hundreds of tragedies were performed in Athens and further
afield during the classical period, and even though nearly all are
lost, a certain amount is known about them through fragments and
other types of evidence. Matthew Wright offers an authoritative
two-volume critical introduction and guide to the lost tragedies.
This first volume examines the remains of works by playwrights such
as Phrynichus, Agathon, Neophron, Critias, Astydamas, Chaeremon,
and many others who have been forgotten or neglected. (Volume 2
explores the lost works of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides.)
What types of evidence exist for lost tragedies, and how might we
approach this evidence? How did these plays become lost or
incompletely preserved? How can we explain why all tragedians
except Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides became neglected or
relegated to the status of 'minor' poets? What changes and
continuities can be detected in tragedy after the fifth century BC?
Can the study of lost works and neglected authors change our views
of Greek tragedy as a genre? This book answers such questions
through a detailed study of the fragments in their historical and
literary context. Including English versions of previously
untranslated fragments as well as in-depth discussion of their
significance, The Lost Plays of Greek Tragedy makes these works
accessible for the first time.
