Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This is a comprehensive and thorough guide to Spinoza's masterpiece
of Rationalist thought. "The Ethics" is one of the undisputed
masterworks of early modern philosophy. In this single volume
Spinoza offers the reader an unorthodox account of God, a novel
version of the mind-body relation, a systematic theory of the
emotions and a detailed prescription for human virtue and
blessedness. Too controversial to be published during his lifetime,
it was surreptitiously printed by Spinoza's friends after his
death. Nowadays the Ethics is studied in university classes as an
exemplary work of early modern rationalism. In "Spinoza's 'Ethics':
A Reader's Guide", J. Thomas Cook explains the philosophical
background against which the book was written and the key themes
inherent in the text. The book then guides the reader to a clear
understanding of the text as a whole, before exploring the
reception and influence of this classic philosophical work. This is
the ideal companion to study of this most influential and
challenging of texts.
Success is nothing more than the inevitable outcome of a life lived
to it's fullest potential Most people realize their job is the
primary source of income that they hope will propel them into a
desirable and fulfilling future. Many people also hope their
current job will provide them with personally satisfying,
interesting and challenging opportunities for growth. And yet a
large number of workers struggle to summon up the daily motivation
to go to work. Unfortunately, many employees never utilize the
necessary tools that must be made use of in order to reach these
possible heights of personal satisfaction, accomplishment and
financial reward. The primary causes of these issues are a lack of
information, education, mentorship, planning, execution and
reinforcement. We must educate ourselves to create reasonable
opportunities and take advantage of the satisfaction and growth
possibilities we now have available. We should look to those who
continue to strive for and reach their potential and follow their
successful examples. This book contains proven powerful tools that
can help any employee, who possesses the desire, to get more out of
themselves and their work in order to achieve the levels of
happiness and success that eludes so many people.
The frequency with which people move home has important
implications for national economic performance and the well-being
of individuals and families. Much contemporary social and migration
theory posits that the world is becoming more mobile, leading to
the recent 'mobilities turn' within the social sciences. Yet, there
is mounting evidence to suggest that this may not be true of all
types of mobility, nor apply equally to all geographical contexts.
For example, it is now clear that internal migration rates have
been falling in the USA since at least the 1980s. To what extent
might this trend be true of other developed countries? Drawing on
detailed empirical literature, Internal Migration in the Developed
World examines the long-term trends in internal migration in a
variety of more advanced countries to explore the factors that
underpin these changes. Using case studies of the USA, UK,
Australia, Japan, Sweden, Germany and Italy, this pioneering book
presents a critical assessment of the extent to which global
structural forces, as opposed to national context, influence
internal migration in the Global North. Internal Migration in the
Developed World fills the void in this neglected aspect of
migration studies and will appeal to a wide disciplinary audience
of researchers and students working in Geography, Migration
Studies, Population Studies and Development Studies.
