Hard Times
The world of Hard Times For These Times revolves around a small industrial town firmly in the grip of one businessman. Bounderby is owner of the local mill and Gradgrind, his employee, is the schoolmaster--together they define and enforce the town's moral character with an iron fist. Many of the characters--including Gradgrind eventually--try and fail to resist Bounderby's influence, to their own demise. Published in 1854, the novel revealed Dickens' sharpest views on capitalism and its questionable moral underpinnings and spurred significant critical debate among his contemporaries.

Expertise
This book offers a collective study of issues to do with experts and expertise, a topic of tremendous contemporary significance. The perspectives are philosophical but draw on relevant work from the sciences and social sciences. In addition, in keeping with other volumes in Oxford University Press's Engaging Philosophy series, many of the papers in the volume have an applied dimension, in that they examine the issues in practical settings.

What happens when the experts disagree? Must experts be unbiased? Should all ex...

BBC World Service
This book is the first full-length history of the BBC World Service: from its interwar launch as short-wave radio broadcasts for the British Empire, to its twenty-first-century incarnation as the multi-media global platform of the British Broadcasting Corporation. The book provides insights into the BBC’s working relationship with the Foreign Office, the early years of the Empire Service, and the role of the BBC during the Second World War. In following the voice of the BBC through the Cold War and the contraction of the British empire, the book argues that debates about the work and purposes of the World Service have always involved deliberations about the future of the UK and its place i...
Putting Econometrics in Its Place
'I consider the book as well suited to provide a broader perspective on methods used in applied economic research. For the applied researcher the book will provide a nice overview on existing methods and some arguments as to which method might be particularly suitable for specific purposes.' - Peter Winker, Jahrbücher f.

Knowledge First
'Knowledge-First' constitutes what is widely regarded as one of the most significant innovations in contemporary epistemology in the past 25 years. Knowledge-first epistemology is the idea that knowledge per se should not be analysed in terms of its constituent parts (e.g., justification, belief), but rather that these and other notions should be analysed in terms of the concept of knowledge. This volume features a substantive introduction and 13 original essaysfrom leading and up-and-coming philosophers on the topic of knowledge-first philosophy. The contributors' essays range from foundational issues to applications of this project to other disciplinesincluding the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of perception, ethics and action theory. Knowledge First: Approaches in Epistemology and Mind aims to provide a relatively open-ended forum for creative and original scholarship with the potential to contribute and advance debates connected with this philosophical project.

Watching
You never know who’s watching… Joely’s return to Indiana is a disaster. She’s secretly crushing on ridiculously sexy single dad Garrett. Her relationship with her parents has crashed and burned in a humiliating bonfire. Her old nemesis from school is back in town and out for blood. And if none of that was bad enough, she’s picked up an obsessive, murderous stalker who’s determined to make her his own. Really, she should have stayed in India. Garrett never expected to stumble across someone like Joely. He isn’t sure he’s ready for a serious romance, regardless of how fascinating he finds the petite brunette. After all, it isn’t just his heart that could get broken if things don’t work out—he has his daughter to think of, as well. But Joely’s stalker ups the ante by staking a deadly claim. Garrett is horrified when he figures out the stalker is connected to a series of unsolved murders. No one expected Joely to be in that much danger. And he never thought that keeping her alive might be harder than keeping her at arm’s length... Watching is the seventh book in the Olman County series.
