A Humean Critique of David Hume's Theory of Knowledge
A Humean Critique of David Hume's Theory of Knowledge provides the first full-length Aristotilian-Thomistic critique of Hume's most mature and familiar work. While giving Hume proper respect and appreciation for his achievement, Jeremy White engages in a thoughtful critique through an approach based in Hume's own method. He successfully uncovers Hume's unconscious indebtedness to his seventeenth century predecessors, including Locke and Bacon, whom he persistently discredited. White's discovery of Hume's assumptions and premises for building his philosophy provide much enlightenment regarding his ideas. The author's intimacy with the processes of Hume's mind and from where he drew his conclusions translates into a tremendous ease and comfort in gaining an understanding of Hume's epistemology and his underlying metaphysical assumptions.

Credit Nation
Even before the United States became a country, laws prioritizing access to credit set colonial America apart from the rest of the world. Credit Nation presents a new vision of American economic history, examining how the drive to expand credit shaped property laws and legal institutions in the colonial and founding eras of the republic. Claire Priest describes how the British Parliament enacted laws for the colonies that privileged creditors by defining land and slaves as commodities available to satisfy debts. Colonial governments, in turn, created local legal institutions that enabled people to further leverage their property to obtain credit. Priest shows how loans backed with slaves as property fueled slavery from the colonial era through the Civil War, and how increased access to credit was key to the explosive growth of capitalism in nineteenth-century America.

The Murders at White House Farm
The definitive account of a crime that shocked the country and continues to fascinate today.On 7 August 1985, Nevill and June Bamber, their daughter Sheila and her two young sons Nicholas and Daniel were discovered shot to death at White House Farm in Essex. The murder weapon was found on Sheila's body; a bible lay at her side. All the windows and doors of the farmhouse were secure, and the Bambers' son, 24-year-old Jeremy, had alerted police after apparently receiving a phone call from his father, who told him Sheila had 'gone berserk' with the gun. It seemed a straightforward case of murder-suicide, but a dramatic turn of events was to disprove the police's theory. In October 1986, Jeremy ...
