Man a Machine ; And, Man a Plant
The first modern translation of the complete texts of La Mettrie's pioneering L'Homme machine and L'Homme plante, first published in 1747 and 1748, respectively, this volume also includes translations of the advertisement and dedication to L'Homme machine. Justin Leiber's introduction illuminates the radical thinking and advocacy of the passionate La Mettrie and provides cogent analysis of La Mettrie's relationship to such important philosophical figures as Descartes, Malebranche, and Locke, and of his lasting influence on the development of materialism, cognitive studies, linguistics, and other areas of intellectual inquiry.
The Lvov-Warsaw School and Contemporary Philosophy
This collection celebrates the centenary of the Lvov-Warsaw school, established by Kazimierz Twardowski in Lvov in 1895. This school belongs to analytic philosophy and successfully worked in all branches of philosophy. The Warsaw school of logic became perhaps the most important part of Twardowski's heritage. Lesniewski, Lukasiewicz and Tarski, leading Polish logicians, achieved results which essentially influenced the development of contemporary logic. A close connection of logic and philosophy was a typical feature of the Lvov-Warsaw school. The papers included in the collection deal with all directions of research undertaken by Polish analytic philosophers. Special attention is paid to logic and comparisons with other philosophical movements, particularly with Brentanism, which was one of the sources of the Lvov-Warsaw school.

Blood Reunion
The curse of a family thrives or dies, and twins may be separated forever, in the thrilling conclusion to the Vampire Twins series. After the fire that consumed their aunt’s Washington, DC, mansion, Ari Montclair has fled with the only man who could possibly understand the danger she is in. Since her twin Paul has surrendered to his own dark urges, she’s better off starting a whole new life under the radar—even if that means her friends and boyfriend think she’s dead. Paul, on the other hand, has escaped with his aunt’s hidden treasure of vampire gold, which he has no intention of sharing with his father, who has become more unstable than ever. Yet even with freedom and wealth, he longs for more. If only Ari were at his side, his never-ending life would be perfect. He will do anything to change her, forcing a showdown that just might cost Ari much more than her soul . . .

Cultural Landscapes of Post-Socialist Cities
The cultural landscapes of Central European cities reflect over half a century of socialism and are marked by the Marxists' vision of a utopian landscape. Architecture, urban planning and the visual arts were considered to be powerful means of expressing the 'people's power'. However, since the velvet revolutions of 1989, this urban scenery has been radically transformed by new forces and trends, infused by the free market, democracy and liberalization. This has led to 'landscape cleansing' and 'recycling', as these former communist nations used new architectural, functional and social forms to transform their urbanscapes, their meanings and uses. Comparing case studies from different post-s...
