The Social Philosophy of English Idealism (Routledge Library Editions: Idealism)
by A. J. MilneAt the turn of the century Idealism was perhaps the leading school of philosophy in the English-speaking world. By the 1960s the situation was very different. There had occurred during the previous two generations what has been described as ‘a revolution in philosophy’, one consequence of which had been the almost total eclipse of Idealism. Originally published in 1962, this book is a critical study of certain aspects of the work of four Idealist philosophers: F. H. Bradley, T. H. Green, Bernard Bosanquet and Josiah Royce. It deals mainly with their social philosophy, but some consideration is also given to their metaphysics. It is the thesis of this book that there is a valid and significant form of Idealism to be found in the work of these philosophers, but that they did not succeed in developing it fully and consistently.
As almas gêmeas
by A. J. MitarNo ano 2023 d.C. e nos encontramos em um município tranquilo no meio do Vale do Pó. Duas famílias combinam de jantar juntas, como já o fizeram tantas vezes antes. Porém, um imprevisto do destino colocará dois grandes amigos, Alex Brugellis e Angélica Benassi, em contato imediato de primeiro grau com um OVNI. Eles serão roubados de suas respectivas famílias e transportados para um lugar surreal, sendo catapultados para dentro de uma aventura além da imaginação. Eles se encontrarão dentro de um habitat artificial, criado especialmente para hospedar dois espécimes de humanos.

Uma comunidade efervescente, formada por diversas espécies, vai unir forças com os dois seres humanos para tentar esclarecer tantas dúvidas e perguntas sem respostas. Em meio a uma busca obstinada pela verdade, dentre milhares de perguntas e suposições, eles descobrem que a realidade é muito mais incompreensível do que eles poderiam imaginar: os responsáveis pela abdução, que eles chamam de “casch-mesis” são alienígenas multidimensionais inacreditáveis. Alex e Angélica descobrirão que fazem parte de uma elite de indivíduos que têm afinidades entre si e foram transportados para longe de seus respectivos mundos para um planeta que batizaram de “Reservythia”, por causa de suas peculiaridades.

Soulmates
by A. J. MitarIt is 2023 a.D. and we’re in one of the tranquil municipalities of the Po Valley. Two families make dinner plans, as they have done so many times before. However, a twist of fate will provide two long-time friends, Alex Brugellis and Angelica Benassi, with a close encounter of the first kind with a UFO. They’ll be taken away from their respective families and transported to a surreal place, catapulted into an adventure that goes beyond their wildest imagination. They find themselves in an artificial habitat that was tailored to human beings. In this mysterious habitat, they will be forced to lived together, subject to the disturbing manipulations of an equally-mysterious device. However, the event was a blessing in disguise: they grow to love each another and give in to the red-hot passion that ignites them. Alex and Angelica understand that they were meant for each other. Amid a conspiracy of interstellar proportions and complex plot twists, they’ll spend the rest of their lives trying to be happy. And they are not alone, because thousands of other alien species have had the same fate and now live in hexagonal biospheres inside a structure similar to a beehive. This ebullient community made up by different species will join these two humans and try to address several unanswered questions and concerns. In their relentless quest for the truth, amid thousands of questions and conjectures, they find out that reality is much harder to understand: Those responsible for their abduction—which they refer to as “Casch-Mesis”—are unbelievable multidimensional aliens. Alex and Angelica will learn that they’re part of an elite of individuals who have affinity and were transported to a place far away from their respective worlds, to a planet they call “Reservythia” because of its peculiar characteristics. After spending years in Reservythia, life will take its course and their human family will grow exponentially, thank

The Scaremongers: The Advocacy of War and Rearmament 1896-1914 (Routledge Library Editions: The First World War)
by A. J. MorrisThis revealing book illustrates how the passion for war was fostered and promoted. The author provides detailed evidence of how and why an image of Germany as a nation determined upon world hegemony was deliberately promoted by a group of British newspaper editors, proprietors and journalists. This book examines the role of these ‘scaremongers’. Were they as influential as their critics claimed? Did they influence the minds of their readers and shape events? Were they guilty of creating a climate of opinion that ensured that their prophecies of inevitable Anglo-German war became fact in 1914?

What follows is a series of holiday related hijinks, from a fancy gala ball to awkward conversations with Colette's family as Tess tries to convince them she really is Colette’s girlfriend. When Tess realizes her little crush on Colette might not be so little, things are complicated even more and she has to decide whether or not to tell Colette.Will Colette return her feelings? Will they be able to convince her family their relationship is real? And, most importantly, will Colette ever forgive Tess for her frankly awful sweater choice?

Emergencies in General Practice, Fourth Edition
by A. J. Moulds P. B. Martin T. A. I. Bouchier-Hayes"This featherweight volume packs a heavyweight punch. It's a how-to guide to emergency general medical practice, which omits no important subject - the most practical book ever for general practitioners...the ideal book to keep by your side when on call." Update, 1997 Here is the fully revised fourth edition of this unique book that provides general practitioners with an easy-to-read, easy-to-use guide to the management of the vast majority of emergencies. The first contact a GP has with an emergency case is almost always a telephone call, and the advice given here by the doctor is of paramount importance in the subsequent management of the case. A unique feature of the book is that each topic begins with advice on how to handle the initial telephone call. Each presenting problem is then approached logically with concise notes on assessment, advice and management necessary when the patient is seen. The emphasis is on practical primary care, with discussion of differential diagnosis taken as far as is needed to decide the best immediate course of action. Tables are used liberally to summarise useful information.For each emergency, the ultimate advice and strategy is emphasised within heavy horizontal lines. Emergencies in General Practice is an indispensable book for the practising GP, whether in the practice, on call, or working for the co-op or deputising service. It is also a valuable teaching text for GP registrars.
The Lure of Whitehead
by Nicholas Gaskill A. J. NocekOnce largely ignored, the speculative philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead has assumed a new prominence in contemporary theory across the humanities and social sciences. Philosophers and artists, literary critics and social theorists, anthropologists and computer scientists have all embraced Whitehead&’s thought, extending it through inquiries into the nature of life, the problem of consciousness, and the ontology of objects, as well as into experiments in education and digital media.The Lure of Whitehead offers readers not only a comprehensive introduction to Whitehead&’s philosophy but also a demonstration of how his work advances our emerging understanding of life in the posthuman epoch.
