Originally published in 1988. Europeans want a better environment.
Increasingly, too, they are demanding the products, services,
legislation and policies that will provide it. Green Pages reveals
what Europe's environmentalists plan to do next and how
environmental pressures will threaten major markets - and at the

employment. Green Pages is a fantastic reference source for green

economics.

Although John Dewey is celebrated for his work in the philosophy of
education and acknowledged as a leading proponent of American
pragmatism, his philosophy of logic has up to now been largely
ignored. In Dewey's New Logic, Tom Burke analyzes the debate
between Russell and Dewey that followed the 1938 publication of
Dewey's Logic: The Theory of Inquiry. Here, he argues that Russell
failed to understand Dewey's philosophy of logic and that Dewey's
views are relevant in important ways to recent developments in
philosophy and cognitive science. Burke demonstrates that Russell
misconceived crucial aspects of Dewey's logical theory and contends
that logic today has progressed beyond Russell and is approaching
Dewey's broader perspective.

Double bill of supernatural dramas adapted by the BBC from the M.R.
James ghost stories. In 'A View from a Hill' (2005) historian Dr.
Fanshawe (Mark Letheren) visits his friend, Squire Richard (Pip
Torrens), and, having broken his own binoculars, borrows a pair
through which, as he soon discovers, he can see an old abbey that
existed hundreds of years ago next to the hanging site of Gallows
Hill. Curious, Fanshawe investigates but finds himself haunted by
evil spirits. In 'Number 13' (2006) Professor Anderson (Greg Wise)
is staying in room 12 of a local hotel while working in a cathedral
town to authenticate historical documents. After being disturbed at
night, Anderson discovers that a previously missing room 13 has
appeared. As his work produces evidence of witchcraft activity, he
finds himself continually awoken from his sleep and, before long,
he decides to find out what lies beyond door number 13...
Based on the acclaimed RTE documentary, 'Shooting the Darkness',
this landmark book presents the stories of leading photographers -
Alan Lewis, Paul Faith, Martin Nangle, Stanley Matchett, Trevor
Dickson, Hugh Russell and Crispin Rodwell - whose images captured
some of the most important events of the Troubles. They talk, many
of them for the first time, about the photographs they took - how
they got the shot; what it cost them to take the photograph; and
reflect on whether it was worth it. More broadly, they talk about
what it was like to be a photographer during the Troubles: how the
paramilitary groups dealt with them, the ethical dilemmas they
faced, and the emotional fallout they experienced. The book
includes the stories behind iconic images such as Bishop Edward
Daly waving a blood-stained handkerchief on Bloody Sunday, Sean
Downes being shot and killed by an RUC plastic bullet in
Andersonstown in 1984, and the brutal attack of corporals Derek
Wood and David Howes in March 1988.
Amanda Hale and Tom Burke star in a brand new BBC Radio 4 full-cast
dramatisation of Charlotte Bronte's most beloved novel, adapted by
Rachel Joyce. Orphan Jane learns at an early age that self-control
is the surest means of retaining self-respect in adversity. It is a
lesson that serves her well in the years ahead as she endures the
misery of life with her cruel, uncaring aunt, followed by the harsh
regime at Lowood Institution, a charity school for poor children.
After taking the post of governess at Thornfield Hall, she meets
the master of the house, the brooding, enigmatic Edward Rochester,
and finds herself falling in love with him. It seems as if
happiness may finally be within her grasp - but a series of strange
events leads her to believe that Rochester is concealing a dark
secret. When the truth is revealed, the heartbroken Jane will need
all her inner strength and resilience to face up to it...
Dramatised for radio by bestselling novelist Rachel Joyce (The
Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry), this iconic love story stars
Amanda Hale as Jane and Tom Burke as Rochester. Suffused with
romance, passion, mystery and danger, it is a spellbinding tale
that is as real and relevant today as when it was first published
in 1847. Duration: 2 hours 30 mins approx.
Offering a new edition of Dewey's 1916 collection of essays
This critical edition of John Dewey's 1916 collection of writings
on logic, "Essays in Experimental Logic--"in which Dewey presents
his concept of logic as the theory of inquiry and his unique and
innovative development of the relationship of inquiry to
experience--is the first scholarly reprint of the work in one
volume since 1954. "Essays in Experimental Logic, "edited by D.
Micah Hester and Robert B. Talisse, uses the authoritative texts
from the "Collected Works of John Dewey, 1882-1953" (published by
Southern Illinois University Press) and includes as well articles
from leading journals representing various contemporary schools of
philosophy that criticized Dewey's experimentalism.
Culling materials from six volumes of the chronologically arranged
"Collected Works," this single-volume edition of "Essays" marks a
crucial point in Dewey's intellectual development: one in which
Dewey critically engages idealistic and intuitionist theorists and
lays the groundwork for his mature theory of inquiry. The text
includes a new introduction by renowned Dewey scholar Tom Burke
that places "Essays" in philosophical and historical context. In
addition to the original essays, "Essays in Experimental Logic"
also features five critical essays by Dewey's contemporaries,
including Bertrand Russell, Wendell T. Bush, R. F. Alfred Hoernle,
H. T. Costello, and C. S. Peirce.
