Diamonds
Bernard Williams is one of the most influential figures in recent ethical theory, where he has set a considerable part of the current agenda.

Williams himself then provides a substantial reply, which in turn shows both the current directions of his own thought and also his present view of his earlier work (such as that on utilitarianism).

The Life and Work of Martin Johnson Heade
Martin Johnson Heade was one of the most significant American painters of the nineteenth century, creator of portraits, history and genre pictures, still lifes, ornithological studies, landscapes, and marines, and his own unique orchid and hummingbird compositions.
