With an introduction by Elizabeth Hardwick,Contemporary Reviews, and LettersBetween Edith Wharton and Her Publisher"&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;A frivolous society can acquire dramatic significance only through what its frivolity destroys."--Edith WhartonLily Bart knows that she must marry--her expensive tastes and mounting debts demand it--and, at twenty-nine, she has every artful wile at her disposal to secure that end. But attached as she is to the social world of her wealthy suitors, something in her rebels against the insipid men whom circumstances compel her to charm.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;"Why must a girl pay so dearly for her least escape," Lily muses as she contemplates the prospect of being bored all afternoon by Percy Grice, dull but undeniably rich, "on the bare chance that he might ulti-mately do her the honor of boring her for life?" Lily is distracted from her prey by the arrival of Lawrence Selden, handsome, quick-witted, and penniless. A runaway bestseller on publication in 1905, The House of Mirth is a brilliant romantic novel of manners, the book that established Edith Wharton as one of America's greatest novelists."&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;A tragedy of our modern life, in which the relentlessness of what men used to call Fate and esteem, in their ignorance, a power beyond their control, is as vividly set forth as ever it was by Aeschylus or Shakespeare." --The New York TimesEdith Wharton (1862-1937) was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in1920 for The Age of Innocence. But it was the publication of The House of Mirth in 1905 that marked Wharton's coming-of-age as a writer.

'For those who haven't yet read Midgley, these essays are an excellent place to start.' - Jon Turney, The Guardian'An elegant and sane little book. Unusually for a philosopher, Midgley has a superb ear for the use and misuse of language.' - Edward Skidelsky, New Statesman'She has, perhaps, the sharpest perception of any living thinker of the dangerous extremism that lurks behind so much contemporary scientistic discourse ... Merely as anthologies of contemporary folly, Midgley's books are essential reading ... we have Mary Midgley among us. We should pay attention and be grateful.' - Brian Appleyard, The Sunday Times'[Mary Midgley's] latest book is full of good sense and illumination on many topics ... Midgley's pathbreaking efforts should be warmly welcomed.' - The Philosopher's Magazine
'Mary's voice, sane, clear and brooking no nonsense, speaks crisply from every page, debunking scientific and non-scientific pretensions alike. A chapter each evening will help me keep sane.' - The Sunday Times
'Christian readers will be sympathetic abd find much material for helpful reflection on the topics chosen.' - The Gospel and Our Culture Network

Transhumanism and Its Critics

"Using his characteristic irony, erudition, and wit, Santos argues that western notions of human 'rights' are meant to espouse the dignity of humankind, yet they are also being advanced for the facilitation of imperialism and the proliferation of misery. Through an appeal to secularism, these notions of human rights render themselves incapable of responding to the lived realities of peoples of the global south—those left in the abyssal realm of imperial damnation. A must-read for those interested in the question of human rights and the complicated task of building law beyond its current, dominating and degrading paradigms."

From the reviews: “The aim of this particular volume is to portray the highly diverse and complex nature of mountain waters … . Alpine Waters – meets these aims in all respects … . offers a good insight into the complex hydrological and biochemical nature of alpine regions, with a lot of sound analysis and good conclusions. … I have no hesitation in recommending this volume to all who have an interest in freshwater in high mountain regions … .” (Arthur J. Askew, Hydrological Sciences Journal, Vol. 56 (1), 2011)“An exhaustive collection of reviews on the physical, chemical, and biological hydrology of the western Alps and will be welcomed by researchers in mountain areas everywhere. For workers in European mountains, it provides a starting point and source; for scientists elsewhere, it offers a generally good review of recent research in the Alps and a source of the primary materials on which that review is based. … chapter includes reference lists … which will, perhaps, be its greatest value to researchers and students outside Europe.” (Nel Caine, Mountain Research and Development, Vol. 32 (1), February, 2012)

"This is an important and timely book. Not only does it name and explore a range of convincing alternatives to an exhausted and exhausting present, through rich accounts of inspirational practice and incisive and imaginative analysis, it reconnects schooling and education in ways which take seriously the development of the whole person and the development of a vibrant and inclusive democracy." - Michael Fielding, Professor of Education, Institute of Education, University of London

"In an era of standardization, curriculum-narrowing, and high stakes testing, Alternative Education for the 21st Century provides thoroughly refreshing perspectives on education. The book is international in scope, and by introducing a wide range of different models of schooling in diverse cultures, it offers the reader fascinating alternatives to the current restrictive trends in education. I recommend this book highly; it has helped to restore my faith in the promise of a meaningful reflective, democratic and ethical education in which one size definitely does not fit all students and in which boundary-crossing between mainstream and alternative schooling can occur." - Joan Poliner Shapiro, Professor of Educational Leadership & Policy Studies, College of Education, Temple University

"Many educators today are worried about the narrow approaches to schooling so often being implemented to meet the perceived needs of a globally competitive environment. This extraordinary book provides them with a rich variety of alternative models of schooling to reflect upon and contrast with today s offerings. The alternatives presented in this book provide a vehicle for broadening schooling by deepening reflection on the other options available for more humanistic approaches to student development and equity and excellence in outcomes for students." - William L. Boyd, Batschelet Chair of Educational Leadership, Pennsylvania State University; Editor of American Journal of Education

“If you are interested in the opinions and experience of well-established anesthesiologists providing outpatient anesthesia to their patients in India, this is definitely an interesting read, and you might learn a thing … .” (Oliver C. Radke, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 129 (6), December, 2019)“The information is too superficial for trainees, as they need greater explanation. It is also too basic for practicing anesthesiologists. It may be helpful for individuals who will be rotating in an ambulatory center and require a quick review prior to the start of the day. The book begins with the principles of ambulatory surgery. The explanations of fast tracking and patient selection are superb. … it provides greater information on the principles of anesthesia for ambulatory surgery.” (Robert R. Gaiser, Doody's Book Reviews, May 17, 2019)&nbsp;

“Gender and HIV in South Africa is an ambitious and important book, written meticulously and with great empathy. … it presents an excellent overview for those who seek to understand Black women’s vulnerability to HIV, offering the kind of information and context (historical, political,

and legal) that is particularly useful for actors such as NGOs and policymakers working at the intersection of health and gender justice.” (Kathleen Rice, Gender & Development, Vol. 27 (3), 2019)“The study’s multi-method approach and the engagement with key questions, drawing on a diverse range of knowledge sources—including pairing of large, quantitative datasets with empirical and original qualitative research—are particular strengths of the book. … Sprague invites researchers to extend themselves, to draw on the richness of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary dialogue in researching the complex landscape of HIV and gender.” (Tamara Shefer, The Lancet, Vol. 19 (2), February, 2019)“This work is groundbreaking and urges the reader to reflect on the structural links between gender inequalities, HIV, health, and social justice. Readers cannot avoid re-thinking how they approach these issues. … This book should be read by everyone in the fields of justice, health equity, gender, and HIV. … it should be read by all health practitioners and policymakers because it challenges us to reflect on health care, women’s capabilities to realize health, and health equity.” (Samantha Willan, African Journal of AIDS Research, Vol. 17 (3), 2018)
