Nothing More to Declare

Over the last thirty years, more and more critics and scholars have come to recognize the significant influence of science on literature. This collection of essays focuses specifically on what poets in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have made of modern scientific developments. In these twelve essays, leading experts on modern poetry, literature, and science explore how poets have used scientific language in their poems, how poetry can offer new perspectives on science, and how the two cultures can and have come together in the work of poets from Britain, Ireland, America, and Australia.

Preface to Poetry

This book will take you on a journey back to the early part of the 5th century. Little information exists regarding life and conditions prior to that time in the land named Hibernia - the island lay on the edge of the known world beyond the fringe of the Roman Empire. It took the mission of the man we call Saint Patrick and the discovery of his writings to see the beginning of any real history of Ireland. More important still is the fact that these writings provide such a vivid picture of Patrick himself that the force of his personality and the fervor of his faith still live today. Here then is a voice from the distant past! Not a faltering voice or a melancholy voice but a voice full of certainty and hope and joy. The voice of a man in touch with God.

Tracing the continuities and trends in the complex relationship between literature and science in the long nineteenth century, this companion provides scholars with a comprehensive, authoritative and up-to-date foundation for research in this field. In intellectual, material and social terms, the transformation undergone by Western culture over the period was unprecedented. Many of these changes were grounded in the growth of science. Yet science was not a cultural monolith then any more than it is now, and its development was shaped by competing world views. To cover the full range of literary engagements with science in the nineteenth century, this companion consists of twenty-seven chapters by experts in the field, which explore crucial social and intellectual contexts for the interactions between literature and science, how science affected different genres of writing, and the importance of individual scientific disciplines and concepts within literary culture. Each chapter has its own extensive bibliography. The volume as a whole is rounded out with a synoptic introduction by the editors and an afterword by the eminent historian of nineteenth-century science Bernard Lightman.

The multifaceted nature of harmful substance use and gambling requires interdisciplinary analysis to assess the underlying causes. What Determines Harm from Addictive Substances and Behaviours? draws together evidence from twelve disciplines including anthropology, genetics, neurobiology, and public policy. Using a developmental approach, the book presents evidence on the factors that influence the development of harmful substance use and gambling. The determinants of harm operate at three levels: molecular, individual, and social; this book brings to light the complex interplay between them. It presents the scientific, social, economic, political, and psychological influences of harmful substance use and gambling. These single determinants are then synthesised into an integrative heuristic model to encourage new ways of thinking. The findings from this analysis are used to elaborate key general implications for health and broader social policy, clinical practice, and future research. What Determines Harm from Addictive Substances and Behaviours? is based on research from ALICE RAP, a multidisciplinary European study of addictive substances and behaviours in contemporary society. This is an essential resource for public health professionals, stakeholders influencing policy for addictive substances and behaviours, students, and academics looking to better understand the factors influencing substance use and gambling and the implications this research has for addiction prevention policy.

"A Code Within A Codex" is a decryption of a 2000 year old theory of mind, which is concealed within the Gospel of Matthew. The philosophical thesis detailed in the Gospel of Matthew was written in allegorical code, and was designed as a philosophical exercise book. It was written by Gamaliel the Elder, 300 years after the death of Aristotle, and clearly uses and acknowledges Greek wisdom in an effort to re-orientate the philosophical understanding of the Torah. The author regards the Gospel of Matthew as the culmination of the Greek and Hebrew philosophical effort to provide an autopsy (self-seeing) of the anatomy of the body of thoughts which is the mental fiber of the Tree of Knowledge. The gospel clearly demonstrates that the nature of what we do defines our character. The gospel sets out in logical sequence and in full detail how the mental law is established, and why it is immutable, and why it must be obeyed. You, the thinker, are the law maker, and you will find even you cannot easily escape obeying the good or bad mental laws that you establish.A proper interpretation of the philosophy concealed within the allegory of the Gospel of Matthew reveals that it is a distillation of both the Hebrew wisdom contained in the Torah and the Greek wisdom contained in the philosophical dialogues of Plato and the metaphysical analysis of Aristotle. The author has re-examined and analyzsed each Greek word in the Codex Sinaiticus, and has provided a translation and interpretation on a word for word basis, which readers can verify for themselves. You as thinker are a mental god to your thoughts, and it is your thoughts that should obey and be subject to your rule, and the theory of mind explains how the mental law manages to bring this about, and also explains how mental conflict develops and needs to be controlled. The theory is fully developed, and even provides a detailed explanation of how free will and determinism both function within their separate spheres of influence. This ancient document dealing with Hebrew and Greek wisdom is in effect a mental self-discovery book. In this philosophical thesis the Greek Wisdom (Know Thy Self) and the Hebrew Wisdom (Know Thy Maker) are synthesized into The Story of You.

John Holmes was the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs from 2007 until 2010. His work took him to some of the most troubled areas of the world: to Sri Lanka, Darfur, Somalia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, among other places, and exposed him to the harsh realities of humanitarian aid. Frequently he found that the UN's humanitarian programmes in these hotspots were tolerated but consistently undermined and mistrusted by both sides in any conflict, and its efforts to protect civilians and provide humanitarian relief frustrated by people working for purely political ends. Clear-eyed about the realities of development aid, Holmes realised early on that his role was to be a voice to the voiceless. THE POLITICS OF HUMANITY exposes, in often depressing detail, how difficult this job is, as well as analysing and exploring in great depth the wider policy questions of his role.
