Moral Reality
Paul Bloomfield offers a rigorous defense of moral realism, developing an ontology for morality that models the property of being morally good on the property of being physically healthy. The model is assembled systematically; it first presents the metaphysics of healthiness and goodness, then explains our epistemic access to properties such as these, adds a complementary analysis of the semantics and syntax of moral discourse, and finishes with a discussion of how we become motivated to act morally. Bloomfield closely attends to the traditional challenges facing moral realism, and the discussion ranges from modern medical theory to ancient theories of virtue, and from animal navigation to the nature of normativity.
L. P. Hartley
L. P. Hartley is a novelist with a piety for days gone by, the period and the ambience in which he grew up. He shows a particular mastery in describing the years of childhood and adolescence. His first major novel, The Shrimp and the Anemone, is the story of an over-protective, possessive elder sister and an excessively dependent and timid small boy: it is set in the early years of the century, but it did not appear until 1944 when the author was forty-nine. The Go-Between, which many critics regard as his finest achievement, was written nine years later and the plot takes place in the year 1900 when its hero was twelve. Mr Bloomfield discusses Hartley's achievement as a clear-sighted and sophisticated chronicler of upper-middle class life, neither moralist nor a rebel, but the transmitter of a civilized idiom. Paul Bloomfield is also the author of Disraeli in this series.

Morality and Self-Interest
The relationship between morality and self-interest is a perennial one in philosophy. For Plato, Hobbes, Kant, Aristotle, Hume, Machiavelli, and Nietzsche, it lay at the heart of moral theory. This text introduces the topic and looks at its place in philosophical history.
More Blues Singers
The first book by David Dicaire, Blues Singers: Biographies of 50 Legendary Artists of the Early 20th Century, (McFarland, 1999), included pioneers, innovators, superstars, and cult heroes of blues music born before 1940. This second work covers those born after 1940 who have continued the tradition. This work has five sections, each with its own introduction. The first, Modern Acoustic Blues, covers artists that are major players on the acoustic blues scene of recent time, such as John Hammond, Jr. The second, Contemporary Chicago Blues, features artists of amplified, citified, gritty blues (Paul Butterfield and Melvin Taylor, among others). Section three, Modern American Electric Blues, includes some Texas blues singers such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmie Vaughan and examines how the blues have spread throughout the United States. Contemporary Blues Women are in section four. Section five, Blues Around the World, covers artists from four different continents and twelve different countries. Each entry provides biographical and critical information on the artist, and a complete discography. A bibliography and supplemental discographies are also provided.
