The sixth volume of the complete Diary of Samuel Pepys in its most
authoritative and acclaimed edition. This complete edition of the
Diary of Samuel Pepys comprises eleven volumes - nine volumes of
text and footnotes (with an introduction of 120 pages in Volume I),
a tenth volume of commentary (The Companion) and an eleventh volume
of Index. Each of the first eight volumes contains one whole
calendar year of the diary, from January to December. The ninth
volume runs from January 1668 to May 1669. The Diary was first
published in abbreviated form in 1825. A succession of new
editions, re-issues and selections, published in the Victorian ear,
made the diary one of the best-known books, and Pepys one of the
best-known figures, of English history. But in none of these
versions - not even in the Wheatley, which for long stood as the
standard edition - was there a reliable, still less a full text,
and in none of them was there a commentary with any claim to
completeness. This edition was in preparation for many years, and
remains the first in which the entire diary is printed and in which
an attempt has been made at systematic comment on it. The primary
aim of the principal editors was to see that the diary was
presented in a manner suitable to the historical and literary
importance of its contents. At the same time they had in mind the
interests of the wide public of English-speaking people to whom the
diarist himself, rather than the importance of what he wrote, is
what matters.

"Insect Behavior" is the second edition of the text that for
thirty years served as the fundamental introduction to a field of
study that has been growing enormously. Today, new technologies and
understandings are allowing questions to be shaped and answered in
ways that once could not have been envisioned. However, massive new
information also can overwhelm and obscure the broader perspectives
needed to put new discoveries into context. Thus, the times fairly
demand that students and non-specialists seek a wider understanding
of diverse proximate and ultimate forces that cause animals to
behave as they do.
This book provides that opportunity. The authors strike a
balance between modern developments and historical insights,
between new examples and old, between empirical work and theory,
and between pertinent conclusions and the dynamic field and
laboratory experiences from which such discoveries arise.
Considerably updated and expanded, this edition includes 26 case
studies, as well as 45 new color plates and 173 figures (over 40%
of them new) with detailed legends that add richness to the
well-written, accessible text.
Like the course that originally inspired it, "Insect Behavior"
will find utility at the graduate and senior undergraduate level
for college and university students. However, although some
background in entomology or animal behavior is helpful, an in-depth
knowledge is not a prerequisite. Thus, the book also invites
comparative psychologists, science educators, and all others with
an interest in the physically small but inestimably important
creatures that comprise three-quarters of all animal life on our
planet. "

Whether sharing a spectacular shot from a deep-space probe,
announcing a development in genetic engineering, or crafting an
easy-to-reference list of cancer risk factors, science public
information officers, or PIOs, serve as scientific liaisons,
connecting academic, nonprofit, government, and other research
organizations with the public. And as traditional media outlets cut
back on their science coverage, PIOs are becoming a vital source
for science news. W. Matthew Shipman's Handbook for Science Public
Information Officers covers all aspects of communication strategy
and tactics for members of this growing specialty. It includes how
to pitch a story, how to train researchers to navigate interviews,
how to use social media effectively, and how to respond to a
crisis. The handbook offers a wealth of practical advice while
teaching science PIOs how to think critically about what they do
and how they do it, so that they will be prepared to take advantage
of any situation, rather than being overwhelmed by it. For all
science communicators-whether they're starting their careers,
crossing over from journalism or the research community, or
professional communicators looking to hone their PIO
skills-Shipman's Handbook for Science Public Information Officers
will become their go-to reference.

The traditional doctrine of God's universal causality holds that
God directly causes all entities distinct from himself, including
all creaturely actions. But can our actions be free in the strong,
libertarian sense if they are directly caused by God? W. Matthews
Grant argues that free creaturely acts have dual sources, God and
the free creaturely agent, and are ultimately up to both in a way
that leaves all the standard conditions for libertarian freedom
satisfied. Offering a comprehensive alternative to existing
approaches for combining theism and libertarian freedom, he
proposes new solutions for reconciling libertarian freedom with
robust accounts of God's providence, grace, and predestination. He
also addresses the problem of moral evil without the commonly
employed Free Will Defense. Written for analytic philosophers and
theologians, Grant's approach can be characterized as
"neo-scholastic" as well as "analytic," since many of the positions
defended are inspired by, consonant with, and develop resources
drawn from the scholastic tradition, especially Aquinas.
