Mark Pinder
A photo-essay on the state of the British nation, spanning over three decades British documentary photographer Mark Pinder (born 1966) examines the social, political and economic changes that Great Britain--in particular the Northeast of England--has faced during the years of rapid decline of traditional industries such as coal mining, engineering and shipbuilding.
The Cycle Tour
The drama, camaraderie, scenery, history and sheer craziness of the world's biggest individually-timed cycling event. "The Cycle Tour" has become a global sporting phenomenon. From humble beginnings thirty years ago, it has grown into a landmark event around the spectacular Cape Peninsula that attracts a sell-out field of 35 000 riders every year and is the biggest of its kind anywhere in the world. This book tells the story of the pros, the amateurs and the jokers who make up the pack as well as the organisers and the remarkable volunteers who make the event tick. Above all, it captures, in stunning photography, the intense emotions of riding 109km through some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

The Nonexistent
This book defends the common sense view that there are no such things as fictional people, places, and things. It then creates an argument against fictional realism by finding the faults and problems with the fictional realism argument.
The Secret Policemen
When a citizen is murdered by the secret police, a cover-up is required. This cover-up grows and morphs and touches everyone on the way to the very top of the People’s Republic and the Ministry of State Security. The Secret Policemen tells the story of the corrupt Police Inspector, the violent Smoking Man, and the sex worker Karla. The Inspector and the Smoking Man will do anything to avoid a one-way trip to the ominous-sounding Farm, and Karla is just trying to stay out of everything. The Secret Policemen is a story full of interesting characters, absurdity, darkness, betrayal, and the unfortunate people of the People's Republic. The Secret Policemen will make you laugh and cry - and will shock and surprise you. This is the first book of a duology that charts to life and tribulations of Karla. The Secret Policemen is a wickedly transgressive dark comedy.
European Communities
The establishment of the European Economic Community in 1958 was one of the most remarkable developments in the history of the post-World War II era. It aimed for nothing less than a complete economic union so that goods, people, and capital would be able to pass over national boundaries of member countries as freely as they move within any one country. As the Community's target date of 1992 for economic integration draws closer, the need for information, both current and historical, becomes more urgent. The aim of this annotated bibliography is to create a critical and descriptive list of books published mainly in English for businessmen and analysts, combining older publications with new. ...

Epiphanies
Epiphanies is a philosophical exploration of epiphanies, peak experiences, 'wow moments', or ecstasies as they are sometimes called. What are epiphanies, and why do so many people so frequently experience them? Are they just transient phenomena in our brains, or are they the revelations of objective value that they very often seem to be? What do they tell us about the world, and about ourselves? How, if at all, do epiphanies fit in with our moral systems and our theories of how to live? And how do epiphanic experiences fit in with the rest of our lives? These are Sophie Grace Chappell's questions in this ground-breaking new study of an area of inquiry that has always been right under our noses, but remains surprisingly under-explored in contemporary philosophy.
From Logic to Practice
This book brings together young researchers from a variety of fields within mathematics, philosophy and logic. It discusses questions that arise in their work, as well as themes and reactions that appear to be similar in different contexts. The book shows that a fairly intensive activity in the philosophy of mathematics is underway, due on the one hand to the disillusionment with respect to traditional answers, on the other to exciting new features of present day mathematics. The book explains how the problem of applicability once again plays a central role in the development of mathematics. It examines how new languages different from the logical ones (mostly figural), are recognized as valid and experimented with and how unifying concepts (structure, category, set) are in competition for those who look at this form of unification. It further shows that traditional philosophies, such as constructivism, while still lively, are no longer only philosophies, but guidelines for research. Finally, the book demonstrates that the search for and validation of new axioms is analyzed with a blend of mathematical historical, philosophical, psychological considerations.
