Proclus: Commentary on Plato's Timaeus: Volume 2, Book 2: Proclus on the Causes of the Cosmos and its Creation

"Once there was an ancient foundation, a seat of privilege and powerful connections.  Then, quickly, quietly, working from within, it modernized itself.  But old myths clung like ivy, failing to reflect the meritocratic make-over, and exposing it in due course to attacks from the Left and Right—attacks to which it was all the more vulnerable for the loss of its old Establishment friends and new dependence on the public purse.  This is the tale told by Joseph Soares in The Decline of Privilege: The Modernization of Oxford University, and he tells it enormously well, with a wealth of carefully researched detail, a sharp sense of paradox, and a nice balance between intellectual framework and the living zest of incident and personality."

''Ken Payne provides a thoughtful account of the ways in which evolution has shaped the repertoire of reactions and responses that influence human behavior, and especially international relations. Unlike so much literature in evolutionary psychology, it is scientifically informed, nuanced non-deterministic in its argument, and not intended to support the status quo.'' Richard Ned Lebow, King's College London, UK

''Kenneth Payne offers keen insight into warfare and human nature to provide us with a better understanding of the evolutionary roots of conflict and cooperation. Those interested in interdisciplinary perspectives on international relations and strategic culture will, undoubtedly, find Evolutionary Psychology and Liberal Warfare to be an important and timely contribution to the study of the changing nature of military force in western societies.'' John Friend, University of Hawaii, Hawaii

''Kenneth Payne reveals the deeply complex nature of what it means to be a person at war through an invigorating examination of key psychological, cultural, and philosophical perspectives. Equally at home with empirical research, theoretical constructs, and first-hand accounts of combatants, Payne writes with a vibrant and engaging tone. He hits controversies and differences in opinion head on and asks searching questions. Payne does more than provide an insight into what it means to be a person at war. He gives an insight into what it means to be a person.'' Mark Burgess, Oxford Brookes University, UK

“The book has chapters covering a wide range of subjects from pests, pesticides, queen-rearing challenges, varroa resistance, epidemiology to propolis, American foul brood (AFB), sting allergy therapy and more. … I found this book to be very interesting and it goes some way to elucidating our understanding of the individual immunity and the social immunity of bees. … I hope that the book’s format will be taken up by bee scientists in the future.” (John Hill, President British Bee Veterinary Association, BBKA News, December, 2018)“Many well-known bee scientists have contributed chapters to this new book with the aim of clearly explaining the fundamentals of bee science. … This book is densely packed and will be very useful for the many beekeepers who want to be scientifically well-informed.” (Bees for Development Journal, ISS. 127, June, 2018)
