This book presents a posthumous collection of previously
uncollected works of political theory written by Whittle Johnston.
Johnston believed that both the liberal tradition of political
thought and the realist tradition of international thought had
contributed much to humanity's store of political wisdom, but that
each had limitations that could most easily be recognized by its
encounter with the other. His method of accomplishing this task was
to examine the liberal conception of political life in general and
international political life in particular and then to explore the
realist critique of the liberal view, particularly as it was
expressed by three great twentieth-century realist thinkers, all of
whom were, in their various ways, skeptical of liberal assumptions:
Reinhold Niebuhr, Hans Morgenthau, and E. H. Carr. In doing so,
Johnston reveals the power of the realist outlook, but also the
areas in which it remains insufficient, and insufficient
particularly where it underestimates the complexity and prudence
that liberalism is capable of displaying. There have been studies
of both liberalism and realism, but no other work has put them into
conversation with each other in the way that this book does.

This book is the first resource to review the influence of climate
change on urban and public pests such as mosquitoes, flies, ticks,
and wood pests, with respect to population, distribution, disease,
damage and control. It systematically addresses how the impact of
climate change on pests in urban areas differs from natural areas,
focusing on the increased temperatures of urban locations, the
effect of natural disasters, the manner of land use and the
consequences of human habitation. Climate Change Impacts on Urban
Pests: - covers key information on how climate change and urban
pests affect human health - includes coverage of the impacts of
natural disasters such as flooding looks at issues which could
influence the management of pests - explores a range of
international opinion from recognised authorities covering six
continents. Presenting up-to-date knowledge, this book is an
essential resource for researchers in urban pests, entomology and
public health, as well as scientists, environmentalists and policy
makers involved in studies on climate change.
The battle for power in the Celtic kingdom of Britannia, reaches a
climax when families turn against each other and the most
trustworthy can no longer be trusted. It is the sixth century and
the growth of immigrants threaten the Celtic way of life for the
wealthy and elite. It appears that only one man, King Arthur, can
reunite the divided parties, but he has been lured into a untimely
war with the Romans. When he is away fighting in Gaul (France) his
wife Guinevere seizes her chance at power. Guinevere's great rival
is Morgan Le Fay, she becomes embroiled with the Gods of Avalon
when she asks for their help. Vivienne, the Goddess of the lake,
helps her in her quest, but has her own selfish agenda. Vivienne
allows her special creatures, the fairies, to assist Lady Morgan
and in so doing changes the balance of power throughout the land.
Eros, the King of the fairies, undergoes a physical transformation,
while others including Guinevere and Morgan undergo a more
spiritual one. Steeped in intrigue and double dealing the
protagonist, Lady Morgan, doesn't know who to trust as friend begin
to betray friend. Against a background of fear and loathing the
story of Joseph of Arimathea's Holy treasure unfolds. All the main
characters are after the Holy Grail, but who will capture it? Is
the treasure even real, or only a legend? This is volume one of a
trilogy of quests, as the well known Arthurian characters battle;
magic, gods, dragons, war, famine, mystery and witchcraft to find
their objectives. The work is inspired by many great writers who
have in the past, put pen to paper to bring adventure and life to
the medieval myth of King Arthur. Such authors include: Malory,
Geoffrey of Monmouth, Chretien de Troyes, Tennyson and go on up to
recent times with Tolkien, C.S.Lewis and Marion Bradley. The most
recent mentioned, explores the proto-feminist priestess of Avalon
(Morgan Le Fay). This trilogy will follow on from that. The battle
of good versus evil, Christianity versus Paganism continues but the
definition has now become blurred. Who is good and who is evil
becomes impossible to distinguish as we see unfold a whole new
world.
