"Some embrace the idea of white privilege as an important concept that helps us to make sense of the connection between race and social and political disadvantages, while others are critical or even hostile. Philosopher Shannon Sullivan cuts through the confusion and cross-talk to challenge what 'everybody knows' about white privilege"--

"Are 'the people' too ignorant or stupid to rule? Commentators are beginning to seriously argue that the answer might be 'yes.' In this take-no-prisoners book, Roslyn Fuller shows how many thinkers have embraced the idea that there can be 'too much democracy,' and deftly unravels their attempts to end majority rule"

"Socrates is one the most important thinkers in western philosophy, yet he remains enigmatic, having left behind no works of his own. Instead, his thought is understood primarily through the work of his followers. In this accessible introduction, William Prior assesses Socrates the man, his famous trial, and the nature of his philosophy"--

'A wise and wide-ranging reminder of the things we should have been talking about when we were talking about Brexit.'Stephanie Flanders, Head of Bloomberg Economics'With the national debate bogged down in the messy process of negotiating the UK's exit from and future relationship with the EU, this book is a timely look at the bigger question: what kind of country do we want to be after Brexit and how do we make it happen?

A guide to environmental fluctuations that examines photosynthesis under both controlled and stressed conditions Photosynthesis, Productivity, and Environmental Stress is a much-needed guide that explores the topics related to photosynthesis (both terrestrial and aquatic) and puts the focus on the basic effect of environmental fluctuations. The authors--noted experts on the topic--discuss photosynthesis under both controlled and stressed conditions and review new techniques for mitigating stressors including methods such as transgeneics, proteomics, genomics, ionomics, metabolomics, micromics, and more. In order to feed our burgeoning world population, it is vital that we must increase food production. Photosynthesis is directly related to plant growth and crop production and any fluctuation in the photosynthetic activity imposes great threat to crop productivity. Due to the environmental fluctuations plants are often exposed to the different environmental stresses that cause decreased photosynthetic rate and problems in the plant growth and development. This important book addresses this topic and: Covers topics related to terrestrial and aquatic photosynthesis Highlights the basic effect of environmental fluctuations Explores common stressors such as drought, salinity, alkalinity, temperature, UV-radiations, oxygen deficiency, and more Contains methods and techniques for improving photosynthetic efficiency for greater crop yield Written for biologists and environmentalists, Photosynthesis, Productivity, and Environmental Stress offers an overview of the stressors affecting photosynthesis and includes possible solutions for improved crop production.

A new guide to the mechanisms and principles behind the world's most common abnormal heart rhythm Understanding Atrial Fibrillation begins by providing a detailed explanation of atrial fibrillation's causal mechanisms and builds its exploration from there. Working toward an up-to-date knowledge of the mapping and ablation of atrial fibrillation, its chapters assess the experimental data that has shaped current thoughts on the condition and then outline the best methods with which to interpret that rich but potentially difficult information. This revelatory new guide: Explores hypotheses of multiple drivers and mechanisms co-existing in individual patients Addresses common misperceptions about atrial fibrillation Describes the basic physiology of atrial fibrillation's propagation and reentry Explores the various mechanisms and higher-order dynamics of fibrillation Discusses how to intervene and alter atrial physiology to prevent fibrillation Understanding Atrial Fibrillation is truly an invaluable resource for physicians, fellows, residents, electrophysiology lab staff, and all other practitioners involved in the diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation. "This book on atrial fibrillation is a must-read for any physician and/or investigator interested in studying the condition or caring for an AF patient. Dr. Spector takes a critical scientific approach to AF and its mechanisms. This book is a very welcome addition to the field." --Hugh Calkins, MD, Professor of Medicine, Director of Electrophysiology, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore, MD, USA "Understanding Atrial Fibrillation is a gem. In less than 150 pages, I learned enough basic science about atrial fibrillation and its physiology to allow me to feel competent reviewing different approaches to its mapping and ablation. Peter Spector has an amazing knack for explaining complex physiology. This little book will sit on the top of my bookshelf." --Kenneth A. Ellenbogen, MD, Kimmerling Professor of Cardiology, VCU School of Medicine, Richmond, VA, USA "The excellent book Understanding Atrial Fibrillation by Dr. Peter Spector refreshingly explains atrial fibrillation as a scientific mystery; the text flows smoothly with sequences of questions and answers that read like a detective story that cannot be put down. From time to time, the reader is led to think that the culprit is found, only to discover in the following chapter that the evidence is not convincing enough and the investigation must continue. The book is a must-read for everyone, novice or expert, interested in developing a deeper understanding of atrial fibrillation." --Omer Berenfeld, PhD, Professor of Internal Medicine, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Center for Arrhythmia Research, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA

"The first part of the book, a "Historical Survey," focuses on changing issues in strategy and grand strategy-on Greek motives, goals, and responses to military success and failure, the Macedonians, Persians, Romans, and Carthaginians being given due weight. These five chapters cover chronological fundamentals, but deal with modalities and patterns more than with campaigns, and with campaigns more than with battles. Johannes Heinrichs, in "Bronze Age and Early Greek Wars," sees Mycenaean warfare in terms of "the centralized organization of life," then deals with Homer as evidence of an ideological rather than sociological character. Among late Archaic Wars, Sparta's efforts to dominate the southern Peloponnesus illustrate a grand strategy that evolves from annexation to domination. The next chapter, Sabine Mèuller's "The Persian Wars to Alexander," gives a holistic account of the conflicts between the Achaemenids and both the Greeks and Macedonians, one that dismantles propaganda and rationalizations in order to demonstrate interdependence as well as rivalry. Frances Pownall's chapter on "Internal Wars from the 'First Peloponnesian War' to Chaeronea" covers much the same period but centers on alliance systems and spheres of influence; one after another, the Greeks states failed to implement strategies that would that would do more collective good than harm. She emphasizes Persia's role in this sequence of events"--
