Salt in the Wounds
His best friend has been murdered, his daughter's in danger. There's only one answer. Going back to his old life. The one that cost him his wife... Michael Brady was a high-flying detective, working on a high-profile case. And much too close to the truth. Someone arranged a hit-and-run. But they missed Brady. And hit his wife. And after six months sitting by her bed, he took the only decision he could take. He turned the machine off. Now he's back home in Whitby. Trying to rebuild his life. And be a good dad to his teenage daughter. But when his best friend is murdered Brady - unwillingly at first - is drawn into the investigation. And when the only people he has left are threatened, he find...
Emotional Insight
Michael S. Brady offers a new account of the role of emotions in our lives. He argues that emotional experiences do not give us information in the same way that perceptual experiences do. Instead, they serve our epistemic needs by capturing our attention and facilitating a reappraisal of the evaluative information that emotions themselves provide.
Emotion
What are emotions? Why are emotions important in our lives? Emotion: The Basics answers these questions, and in doing so provides accounts of the nature and value of particular emotions that are central to human existence.The overarching message is that our lives, both individual and social, would be significantly impoverished without the emotions.
The Echo of Bones
"Find her for me, Mr Brady. I know she's dead. I know I'll never see her again. But find her. Give me a place to go on her birthday. Christmas Day. Somewhere I can take her teddy bear. Lay flowers. Find Alice for me, Mr Brady. Please..." It's 20 years since Alice went missing. There's never been any trace. Until now. Until some bones are found in a shallow grave on the cold, bleak North York Moors. But is it Alice? Or Becky? The other girl - who disappeared a month earlier... Two local girls: two families that have finally learned to live with their grief. But now Michael Brady must tell one family their daughter has been found. And break the bad news to the other family. No-one was ever con...
New Waves in Metaethics
Metaethics occupies a central place in analytical philosophy, and the last forty years has seen an upsurge of interest in questions about the nature and practice of morality. This collection presents original and ground-breaking research on metaethical issues from some of the very best of a new generation of philosophers working in this field.
Mammographic Image Analysis
The key contribution of the approach to x-ray mammographic image analysis developed in this monograph is a representation of the non-fatty compressed breast tissue that we show can be derived from a single mammogram. The importance of the representation, called hint, is that it removes all those changes in the image that are due only to the particular imaging conditions (for example, the film speed or exposure time), leaving just the non-fatty 'interesting' tissue. Normalising images in this way enables them to be enhanced and matched, and regions in them to be classified more reliably, because unnecessary, distracting variations have been eliminated. Part I of the monograph develops a model-based approach to x-ray mammography, Part II shows how it can be put to work successfully on a range of clinically-important tasks, while Part III develops a model and exploits it for contrast-enhanced MRI mammography. The final chapter points the way forward in a number of promising areas of research.

Sons of Jupiter
Eleven-year-old Temple Avery lives with his aunt, who checked out from the world when her husband died during an alien invasion. Temple's mother is dead, and his father, Paris, is in space fighting the invaders. Bullied and alone, Temple tries to find his place in a world reeling from the deaths of a billion people. When Paris returns, he brings with him a secret that could mean the end of the world. The aliens are planning to introduce a biological weapon, one that will wipe out civilization - unless Temple and Paris can stop them. Thus begins a race against time as Paris and Temple search for a cure to the most devastating virus man has ever known. But what Temple doesn't yet know is that the key to finding the antidote is already inside him.
Philosophy of Suffering
Suffering is a central component of our lives. We suffer pain. We fall ill. We fail and are failed. Our loved ones die. It is a commonplace to think that suffering is, always and everywhere, bad. But might suffering also be good? If so, in what ways might suffering have positive, as well as negative, value? This important volume examines these questions and is the first comprehensive examination of suffering from a philosophical perspective. An outstanding roster of international contributors explore the nature of suffering, pain, and valence, as well as the value of suffering and the relationships between suffering, morality, and rationality. Philosophy of Suffering: Metaphysics, Value, and Normativity is essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology, cognitive and behavioral psychology as well as those in health and medicine researching conceptual issues regarding suffering and pain.
Without God
Without God, how can we have hope or make sense of such a broken world? Skeptics believe we don't need God to understand reality, and that science and reason hold the keys to building a better world. Faith is blind, and there is no credible evidence for God's existence--especially the God of the Bible. Science and religious belief are incompatible, and God is no longer relevant to our modern world.By engaging with popular atheists and skeptics, both new and old, as well as many of Christianity's most brilliant writers, pastor and author Zachary Broom writes of how God is just as relevant to understanding the world as He's ever been. Not only is there powerful evidence for God's existence, bu...
