Williamson provides a battery of considerations designed to convince us that the concept of knowledge is the most central and vital member of the family of epistemological concepts ... If Williamson is right, we shall be forced to admit that much recent epistemology is ill-conceived... He also makes important contributions to our understanding of the nature of mind and the relationship of mind to world. Knowledge and its Limits is striking throughout for its
clarity, originality of thought, technical sophistication and philosophical breadth ... Careful study of this work will be richly rewarded.

Longlisted for Canada Reads 2016Toronto Star&#160;fiction bestseller"[Winter] is a writer who dangles the delicate bait because he knows we will take it, then sets the hook and reels us in hard. And when he has us in his boat, all we can do is stare up at him, gasping, not sure if he'll club or release us. And frankly, as readers, we don't care. We're thrilled, simply, to be along with him for the ride." - Joseph Boyden, Giller Prize-winning author of Through Black Spruce&ldquo;Evocatively told with spare, poetic elegance, this is a story of the love and life which can grow from a terrible loss. Henry is a man torn between escaping a past tragedy, and embracing its implications fully within his own life. Set in rural Canada, where the reverberations of world events can both shatter lives and offer the potential for redemption, Minister Without Portfolio is an essential, modern, Canadian novel.&rdquo;  - Vincent Lam, Giller Prize-winning author of Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures and The Headmaster's Wager&ldquo;Michael Winter gives us the story of a man who suffers a shock, searches for a foundation, and rescues a home. This is a book about old-fashioned love, the very unlikely, smoking hot, so lucky you came across it kind. The lasting kind of love that blazes like a forest fire.  In Minister Without Portfolio Michael Winter takes a ballpeen hammer to your heart and finds the veins of gold. Every sentence is an ungrounded wire, megawatts of ebullience, wonder and sparking-spitting joy. Electric prose.&rdquo; - Lisa Moore, author of February and Caught&ldquo;Reading Michael&rsquo;s fiction is a lot like hearing him talk about his life. Packed with odd but compelling incidents that in anyone else&rsquo;s hands would feel exaggerated or fake. Harrowing, in an after-the-fact hilarious way. Full of wonder and mystery. A hangover you wouldn&rsquo;t miss for the world.&rdquo; - Michael Crummey, author of Galore and River Thieves&ldquo;Minister Without Portfolio is a masterful examination of the very marrow of life. . .  the stylistic comparisons between Winter and Hemingway (or Winter and Carver) are pretty much rote, but they&rsquo;re accurate. . . Minister Without Portfolio is essential reading, an honest, and at times frank-to-the-point-of-discomfort exploration of guilt, loss, faint hope and struggle. It peels back the surface calm and reveals the roiling, cold depths beneath, the currents that threaten to pull one down, that must be fought with all our strength.&rdquo;   - National Post"Another tour-de-force from one of Canada&rsquo;s most exciting writers" - &ndash; Zoomer"Almost Tolstoyan in its sense of weighty importance." - Toronto Star

Minister Without Portfolio

It is a paradox, that at a time when religiously motivated groups use violence to achieve perverse objectives, the potential of the world's diverse religious traditions and institutions to contribute to peace and development is largely ignored. With this book, Katherine Marshall, one of the first international development specialists who has emphasized the critical importance of religion in global development, provides anyone working in international affairs with an outstanding introduction to and analysis of a topic that is far too important to ignore.
Michel Camdessus, Former Managing Director, International Monetary Fund
Faith and globalisation are two of the world's most powerful contemporary forces; the dynamics and contours of religion form today an integral part of international relations. 　Yet how much do we understand about how religions work as global institutions? And when you ring up Global Catholicism and Global Islam who is at the switchboard and to whom should you talk? This is a clear, helpful and deeply informed guidebook for those wise enough to recognise the transformative power of the world faiths in the 21st. Century.
Ian Linden, Policy Director of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation and Associate Professor in the study of religion at 　the School of Oriental and African Studies, London.
This book provides a welcome corrective to the religious illiteracy that has for too long marked the study and conduct of policy-making in relation to the world’s poorer countries. Katherine Marshall has provided a superb mapping and analysis of the world’s main religions, religious movements, and myriad faith-inspired organizations, and the part they have played in recent times in advancing human development (or in some cases not). She also analyses succinctly the unresolved issues which prevent religious organizations from working more productively alongside non-religious actors, especially governments and international institutions such as the World Bank. Her book should be required reading for all students and practitioners of development.

Sir Tim Lankester, Honorary fellow at School of African and Oriental Studies, UK.
Goaded by events like the HIV and AIDS pandemic and terrorist attacks, there is mounting interest in religion among international relations specialists. However, the world of religious institutions is so complex that for many it is difficult to know where to start in making sense of different entities. Katherine Marshall's book is a carefully researched and readable introduction to how many religious and interfaith institutions work, informed by practical experience. It highlights the critical roles that they play in global affairs and, still more, their potential to work for peace, social justice, and the welfare of humankind.
Gunnar Stålset, former Bishop of Oslo, Norway.

This indispensable briefing book for policymakers, diplomats, and concerned citizens is chock full of fascinating information about the formal and informal religious institutions that are helping to shape international events.
Robert Klitgaard, University Professor at Claremont Graduate University, where he served as the President from 2005 to 2009.

Working with Autistic People in the Criminal Justice and Forensic Mental Health Systems in one of the first books that links together the perspectives from leading multidisciplinary professionals to examine the gaps that autistic offenders regularly face within the criminal justice system. An ideal guide for any practitioners to use within the forensic mental health field.
Dr Tanya Banfield, Head of Criminal Justice, Genius Within, UK. 

In their impressive new book Anne Sheeran and Nichola Tyler have curated a rounded, thoroughly evidenced, and immensely practical collection. Drawing on a vast array of clinical, research and experiential expertise the editors have successfully and comprehensively shown how criminal justice, mental health and learning disability services can work with, and for, people with autism, their families, carers, victims, and the public. Especially welcome were chapters on supporting the carers and staff of people with autism and on questioning people with autism in a criminal justice context. This is a collection, carefully and cogently crafted, that retains throughout an unerring focus on what works best and I recommend it to all working in the field.
Professor Geoffrey L. Dickens, Professor Mental Health Nursing, Centre for Applied Nursing Research, Northumbria University, UK.

What is so pleasing about this excellent text, is that it achieves its aim of being a comprehensive handbook without losing sight of the people at the centre of it, those with autism. Centred on the British system, this handbook is nevertheless highly relevant to other jurisdictions, because of the quality of evidence the writers draw upon and the breadth of coverage of topics. It is highly recommended.

Praise for LIKE FAMILY:"A profound tale of family, crisis and the passage of time, Giordano's&hellip;novel is a cherished read."--Harper's Bazaar"A touching meditation on life, loss, and most of all, love.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Us Weekly&ldquo;From aide to nanny and housekeeper . . . Paolo Giordano examines this unusual relationship in the context of one household of three. . . . Spare, elegant.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The New York Times&#160;&ldquo;Like Family. . . demands to be savored. . . Giordano's emphasis on how we choose to live and love offers subtle hope that our decisions actually matter.&rdquo; &mdash;NPR.org&ldquo;Mr. Giordano&rsquo;s elegiac work, which benefits from a finely etched translation by Anne Milano Appel, is a tender and mournful homage to one who held a family together without ever quite belonging to it.&rdquo; &mdash;Wall Street Journal &#160;&ldquo;Giordano . . . writes in a style so cool and clean . . . [it] invokes the sacredness of family.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Boston Globe &ldquo;Giordano seamlessly travels through time in the narrative, painting an enthralling&#160;portrait of love, loss, and heartache.&rdquo;&mdash;InStyle.com&ldquo;Intense and bittersweet.&rdquo; --Washington Review of Books&ldquo;This wonderfully poignant and heart-rending story looks at everyday lives with both reason and compassion. Author Giordano has a lyrical voice and an uncanny ability to create easy dialogue, real characters and a powerful message in this short book. The only fault I can find is that there wasn&rsquo;t more of it.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;St. Louis Post-Dispatch &#160; "Giordano describes this powerful, elegantly distilled tale of a sorrowful family as an homage to a real woman he knew. It is both unsentimental and heartbreaking."&#160;&mdash;BBC.com &#160; "Giordano muses gorgeously on our inability to blend our life essences; even love leaves us lonely. A lovely remembrance played in a minor key."&#160;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews &#160; "Combining the edginess of modern life with the touching theme of losing someone who has become just like family, [this book] confirms Giordano as a writer who understands the complexities of human relationships."&#160;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&#160;(starred review)&#160; &#160; "Beautifully crafted...its themes are universal and it will appeal to anyone who treasures the gifts of others."&#160;&mdash;Library Journal&#160;(starred review) &#160; &ldquo;[A] short work of fiction can resonate more deeply than longer volumes. That&rsquo;s the case with LIKE FAMILY, the elegiac new novella by Paolo Giordano&hellip;. This poignant work points out that there is no one way to define a family, and that, in any definition, the primary ingredient is the ability to love.&rdquo;&mdash;BookPage&ldquo;Touching&rdquo; &mdash;Bustle  Praise for THE HUMAN BODY: &ldquo;The Human Body&#160;is a great novel of life in wartime: a chronicle of war's multifarious crimes against the body and soul, and a heartfelt meditation on how men, together and collectively, repair the burdens of their fate.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Joshua Ferris, author of&#160;To Rise Again at a Decent Hour &#160; "Paolo Giordano's new novel, like his last, is full of sensitivity and intelligence.&#160;The Human Body&#160;is a brilliant addition to the literature of our modern wars."&#160;&mdash;Kevin Powers, author of&#160;The Yellow Birds &#160; &ldquo;With an extraordinarily keen eye and a pitch-perfect ear, Giordano has magnificently captured the surreal existence of the modern soldier. &#160;By turn poignant and gripping &ndash; when not downright hilarious &ndash; every page of&#160;The Human Body&#160;rings with an authenticity and appreciation of the absurd that very few novelists writing about men stumbling about the business of war have achieved.&#160; Very few indeed; think of O&rsquo;Brien&rsquo;s&#160;Going After Cacciato&#160;or Heller&rsquo;s&#160;Catch-22, because Giordano is just that good.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Scott Anderson, author of&#160;Lawrence in Arabia&#160; &#160; &ldquo;Paolo Giordano has written his generation&rsquo;s war novel.&#160; Tender, cruel, beautiful, heartless, a brilliant story of desire and youth and death in Afghanistan.&#160; Readers of Kevin Powers have been searching for another modern classic, and&#160;The Human Body is it.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Andrew Sean Greer, author of&#160;The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells &#160; &ldquo;Giordano follows&#160;THE SOLITUDE OF PRIME NUMBERS&#160;with a stunning exploration of war. Giordano makes the tedium of combat fascinating with his well-drawn characters. The first page indicates that the platoon&rsquo;s experience was particularly horrible... but the fact that the mission runs off the rails is almost secondary to the beauty, texture, and acuity with which Giordano captures the day-to-day routines of the soldiers, and their efforts to make sense of both their lives in Italy and their military assignment.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&#160;(starred review) &#160; &ldquo;The Human Body&#160;is a memorable entry in the literature of the Afghan war, the characters crisply drawn and the writing full of telling details.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Booklist &#160; &ldquo;Despite the tragic events, this is a very entertaining novel, with the characters&rsquo; innate and passionate sense of the absurdity of their situation, and of life itself, evident in every scene. The fast-paced, present-tense narrative seems to have been translated accurately to capture the nuances of emotion and drama conveyed by the highly intelligent and perceptive Giordano.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Library Journal&#160;(starred review) &#160; &ldquo;Giordano&rsquo;s (The Solitude of Prime Numbers, 2010) unorthodox Afghanistan war novel is short on action but rich in psychological insight.... As the title suggests, the book is less about military heroism than the devastating human impact of combat. Well-observed and compassionate, this is a memorable look at imperfect people in extreme circumstances.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews Praise for THE SOLITUDE OF PRIME NUMBERS: &ldquo;Mesmerizing . . . [Giordano] works with piercing subtlety. An exquisite rendering of what one might call feelings at the subatomic level.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times &ldquo;The story&mdash;the explanation, really&mdash;of how two people come to find solitude more comforting than companionship is the subtle work of Giordano&rsquo;s haunting novel, a finely tuned machine powered by the perverse mechanics of need.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review &ldquo;Seductive and unnerving.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Entertainment Weekly &ldquo;The elegant and fiercely intelligent debut novel by 27-year-old physicist Paolo Giordano, The Solitude of Prime Numbers revolves around Mattia and Alice, friends since high school&mdash;&lsquo;twin primes, alone and lost, close but not close enough to really touch each other,&rsquo; wherein resides the seductive enchantment of this singular love story.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Elle &ldquo;Giordano&rsquo;s passionate evocation of being young and in despair will resonate strongly with readers.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;USA Today &ldquo;Elegant.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Los Angeles Times

"… die sozialen Bezüge werden ausführlich dargestellt. Die Autoren geben nicht nur aktuelle Ein- und Überblicke, sondern berichten auch von neuen Forschungsergebnissen und Argumenten. Noch gibt es keine einheitliche Theorie des Bewusstseins - und vielleicht kann es gar keine geben -, aber als Wegweiser und -begleiter durch das unübersichtliche Gelände ist das Buch bestens geeignet."
