The expanded new edition of one of the most influential and
controversial books about the nature of philosophy published in the
past several decades The Philosophy of Philosophy presents an
original, unified concept of philosophy as a non-natural science.
In this provocative work, distinguished philosopher Timothy
Williamson challenges widely-held assumptions and clarifies
long-standing misconceptions about the methodology and nature of
philosophical inquiry. The author rejects the standard narratives
of contemporary philosophy developed from naturalism, the
linguistic turn, postmodern irony, and other prominent trends of
the twentieth century. Viewing the method of philosophy as evolving
from non-philosophical pursuits, Williamson provides readers with
fresh insight into the "self-image" of philosophy and offers new
ways of understanding what philosophy is and how it actually works.
Now in its second edition, this landmark volume comprises the
original book and the author's subsequent work. New topics include
the recent history of analytic philosophy, assessments of
experimental philosophy, theories of concepts and understanding,
Wittgensteinian approaches, popular philosophy, naturalism,
morally-loaded examples in philosophy, philosophical applications
of scientific methods, and many more. This edition features the
author's latest thoughts on a variety of issues, autobiographical
reflections, and replies to critics. Proposes an alternative
narrative about the nature of philosophy Argues that the common
assumption of philosophical exceptionalism is false Highlights the
similarities between philosophy and the other sciences in both
methodology and subject matter Explores why contemporary philosophy
has failed to articulate an adequate methodology Emphasizes
increasing the methodological standards of reasoning in philosophy
The Philosophy of Philosophy, Second Edition remains essential
reading for philosophers, scholars, graduate and advanced
undergraduate students in philosophy, and other readers with a

Recent trends within community policing suggest that the next
generation of community policing will be more "knowledge-based,"
involving a shift toward a problem-oriented and strategic use of
information as a basis for management and better use of police
resources.
"The Handbook of Knowledge-Based Policing" examines how
knowledge-based policing can improve the effectiveness, equity and
efficiency of community policing. With contributions from a mix of
academics and practitioners, this volume:
- Critically evaluates the effectiveness of community policing in
seven countries.
- Discusses intelligence-led policing and the emergence of
knowledge-based policing.
- Examines the impact knowledge-based policing will have on
policing initiatives. Discussions are set firmly within the context
of current debates on risk and the risk society, the broadening or
narrowing of the police role, the importance of networks and
governance and regulation.
This comprehensive collection identifies the factors that will
shape the next generation of Community Policing. It is a must-have
resource for researchers and students of policing, policy makers
and police officers. It will also be of interest to the growing
number of people actively involved in crime and disorder
partnerships.
The second volume in the "Blackwell Brown Lectures in Philosophy,"

In evolution, natural selection is the gradual, non-random, process
by which biological traits become either more or less common in a
population as a function of differential reproduction of their
bearers. In this book, the authors present current research in the
biological processes, theory and role in evolution of natural
selection. Topics include evolutionary transitions in mathematical
modelling complexity using evolutionary systemic modelling; natural
selection applications for algorithmic computation; allozymes, and
DNA and natural selection in the mollusc population.
For decades, the nation has benefited from relatively inexpensive
energy, in the process growing heavily reliant on conventional
fossil fuels -- oil, natural gas, and coal. However, in the current
wake of higher energy costs and environmental concerns about fossil
fuel emissions, renewed attention is turning to the development of
advanced energy technologies as alternatives. In the United States,
the Department of Energy (DOE) has long conducted research,
development, and demonstration (R&D) on advanced renewable,
fossil, and nuclear energy technologies. DOE's Office of Science
has also funded basic energy-related research. This book presents
important information of developments in this essential field.
