E-book The Last Man Who Knew Everything

No one has given the polymath Thomas Young (1773–1829) the all-round examination he so richly deserves—until now. Celebrated biographer Andrew Robinson portrays a man who solved mystery after mystery in the face of ridicule and rejection, and never sought fame. As a physicist, Young challenged the theories of Isaac Newton and proved that light is a wave. As a physician, he showed how the ey…

E-book Querying Childhood: Feminist Reframings

This book critically examines assumptions about age, women, and gender. Amidst all the attention that has been granted to difference and inequality, however uneven and unsatisfactory in terms of class and caste, race and ethnicity, sexuality and gender, disability, religion, and nation, questions of age and its importance for feminism have been less well defined. Drawing on recent literature on…

E-book The Cambridge Illustrated History of the Islamic World

Islamic peoples account for one fifth of the world's population and yet there is widespread misunderstanding in the West of what Islam really is. Francis Robinson and his team set out to address this, revealing the complex and sometimes contrary nature of Muslim culture. As well as taking on the issues uppermost in everyone's minds, such as the role of religious and political fundamentalism, th…

E-book Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty

Is it culture, the weather, geography? Perhaps ignorance of what the right policies are? Simply, no. None of these factors is either definitive or destiny. Otherwise, how to explain why Botswana has become one of the fastest growing countries in the world, while other African nations, such as Zimbabwe, the Congo, and Sierra Leone, are mired in poverty and violence? Daron Acemoglu and Jame…

E-book Healthy Ageing : A Capability Approach to Inclusive Policy and Practice

Healthy ageing is the ideal trajectory from birth to death. As we reach older age, physical changes are inevitable, but it is not simply the effect of these changes that makes ageing healthy or unhealthy. An older person may have many years of inca-pacity as they decline slowly towards death. Or they may be well and functioning happily until a very rapid shift into loss of life (the ideal of dy…

E-book Genius: A Very Short Introduction

Homer, Leonardo da Vinci, Mozart, Shakespeare, and Tolstoy; Curie, Darwin, Einstein, Galileo, and Newton. What do these world-famous artists and scientists have in common?- apart from the fact that their achievements predate our own time by a century or more. Most of us would probably answer: all ten possessed something we call genius, which in each instance permanently changed the way that hum…

E-book Curious Encounters : Voyaging, Collecting, and Making Knowledge in the…

Our histories of global exploration and encounter in the long eigh-teenth century are often drawn from the scientific voyages of discovery and their richly illustrated books, like John Ross’s A Voyage of Discovery(1819). Ross voyaged in the Enlightenment tradition of Bougainville and Cook, who had returned to Europe in ships laden with knowledge in the form …

E-book Not Written in Stone: Jews, Constitutions, and Constitutionalism in Ca…

Using long-ignored constitutions of various Jewish organizations, this unique book uncovers the political history of Canadian Jewry since its beginning during the 1700s.

E-book Guitar All in One for Dummies

Though the guitar as we know it is only about a century and a half old, its roots as a plucked stringed instrument go back deep into history. Many ancient folk instruments have followed the basic strings-stretched-overfretboard-and-played-with-fingers design for thousands of years, and the guitar is in some ways the culmination of that legacy. It seems humans have always had something like the …

E-Book Academics Writing: The Dynamics of Knowledge Creation

Academics Writing recounts how academic writing is changing in the contemporary university, transforming what it means to be an academic and how, as a society, we produce academic knowledge. Writing practices are changing as the academic profession itself is reconfigured through new forms of governance and accountability, increasing use of digital resources, and the internationalisation of high…

E-book Airport Governance Toolkit

Variations in national and airport-specific governance arrangements can be justified due to differing local circumstances. However, in many cases the governance applied is simply the result of an airport’s history. As a consequence, it is often unclear to decision-makers whether and when specific governance arrangements should or should not be applied. The lack of properly designed governance…

E-book Illustration

As for colours I would say I tend not to use them. I usually focus on black and white images, sometimes with various tones of gray, but when I do use colours I like to use toned down, unsaturated colours to create a more atmospheric feeling in my work.

E-book Fashion Week Report Spring Summer 2021

Choosing this quote from Mary Shelley to open this Fashion Week report is no accident. It reflects the state of mind in which this Fashion Month was announced and how we approached it. Like a sort of "reset" button for an industry hit hard by an unprecedented pandemic that we no longer need to name ... However, it seems that, despite the notable absence of big names in fashion, who for various …

E-book Handbook Cognition and Emotion

The present volume does not generally focus on the question of whether thoughts (cognition) or feelings (emotion) are more functional. Rather, this introductory material is sufficient to make the case that, typically, thoughts and feelings are seen to be distinct entities with distinct effects (e.g., Epstein, 1994). Yet, it has become increasingly apparent that cognition and emotion often inter…

E-book Health for Wealth : Building a Healthier Northern Powerhouse for UK Pr…

There is a well-known productivity gap between the Northern Powerhouse and the rest of England of £4 perperson-per-hour. There is also a substantial health gap between the Northern Powerhouse and the rest of England, with average life expectancy 2 years lower in the North. Given that both health and productivity are lower in the Northern Powerhouse, the NHSA commissioned this report from six …

I submitted the first edition under the original unpublished title, Herbs of Dubious Salubrity. I intentionally left…

E-book Living Earth Community : Multiple Ways of Being and Knowing

There are many ways of seeing Earth. It is possible to gaze at the planet from the vantage of a space shuttle in orbit. If you are standing on the moon, you can see Earth rise in the distance, as seen in the famous photograph of Earth taken from the moon by the NASA astronaut William Anders in 1968, Earthrise (see Figure 1). You can also look at Earth much more closely, on…

E-book A poor wise man

The city turned its dreariest aspect toward the railway on blackened walls, irregular and ill-paved streets, gloomy warehouses, and over all a gray, smoke-laden atmosphere which gave it mystery and often beauty. Sometimes the softened towers of the great steel bridges rose above the river mist like fairy towers suspended between Heaven and earth. And again the sun tipped the surrounding hi…
