The Broadview Anthology of Restoration and Early Eighteenth-Century Drama
This is the first new full-scale anthology of Restoration and eighteenth-century drama in over sixty years. Concentrating on plays from the heyday of 1660-1737, it focuses especially on Restoration drama proper (1660-1688) and Revolution drama (1689-1714), with a smaller selection of plays from the early Georgian period (1715-1737) and a glimpse at the later Georgian period’s “laughing comedy” (1770s and 80s). It includes nine sub-genres (heroic romance, political tragedy, personal tragedy, tragicomic romance, social comedy, subversive comedy, corrective satire, menippean satire, and laughing comedy), with the preponderance of exposure given to the jewel of this theatre, its comedy. Th...
Learning to Flourish
Learning to Flourish offers a lucid, penetrating, philosophical exploration of liberal learning: a still-evolving tradition of theory and practice that has dominated and sustained intellectual life and learning in much of the globe for two millennia. Daniel R. DeNicola weighs the views of both advocates and critics of the liberal arts, and interprets liberal education as aimed supremely at understanding and living a good life, as a vital tradition generating five competing but complementary paradigms that transcend theories of curriculum and pedagogy and are manifested in particular social contexts. He examines the transformative power of liberal education and its relation to such values as freedom, autonomy, and democracy, reflecting on the importance of intrinsic value and moral understanding. Finally, he considers age-old obstacles and current threats to liberal education, ultimately asserting its value for and urgent need in a global, pluralistic, technologically advanced society. Offering a bold yet nuanced theory of liberal education, this study will be of great interest to educators as well as those specializing in Philosophy of Education.

Finding Your Irish Ancestors
His new book, Finding Your Irish Ancestors, is intended as a companion volume to the venerable Pocket Guide. Making use of the case study technique employed in the Pocket Guide, this new book expounds on topics that are not found in his earlier book and expands on others that are. For example, Irish surnames and place names represent a treasure trove of historical information and contain genealogical clues that are frequently overlooked by researchers. Accordingly, Finding Your Irish Ancestors includes two chapters on the importance of surnames and the importance of place names in family history. The place name chapter, for instance, explains the etymological origins of a number of Irish tow...
Theories and Concept of Community Policing
LATERThis book about theories and concepts of Community policing. According to the latest National Crime Records Bureau ( NCRB ) data, a total number of 2,243 ‘incidents of violence by anti-national elements’, including the Northeast insurgency, jihadi terrorists, left-wing extremism, and other terrorists were reported between the years 2017–2020. Community-oriented policing (COP) focuses on roots to curb vulnerability to indigenous sources, whilst simultaneously increasing resistance towards the subversion by exogenous forces. The goal of the Constitution is to establish a democratic society. We may recall the dictum of Abraham Lincoln, who said, “No Nation can survive half slave an...
Leading Cases in Civil Procedure
This book assembles a set of cases, constitutional provisions, statutes, and rules that embody a core canon of decisional law in civil procedure. This text focuses on a core canon and sets forth the leading cases in civil procedure, in greater length and detail than in other civil procedure casebooks on the market. The focus of this text is to cover fewer cases, but in greater depth. In addition, this book includes concurring and dissenting opinions that frequently have been eliminated from other texts. The book is designed based on a fourteen-week curriculum, with fourteen chapters that provide easy and simple guidance for working through the course. Each week addresses a topic and assembles the core cases, statutes, or rules that students and the professor reasonably may study in four hours of class time. In addition to the book's fourteen-week structure, the text also offers materials for alternative weeks that may be substituted for topics covered in the main text.
Sport, Philosophy, and Good Lives
There’s more to sports than the ethos of competition, entertainment, and commercialism expressed in popular media and discourse. Sport, Philosophy, and Good Lives discusses sport in the context of several traditional philosophical questions, including: What is a good human life and how does sport factor into it? To whom do we look for ethical guidance? What makes human activities or projects meaningful? Randolph Feezell examines these questions along with other relevant topics in the philosophy of sport such as the contribution of play to a meaningful life, the various reasons for pessimistic views of sport, the various claims that celebrated athletes are role models, and the seldom-questioned view that coaches are in a position to offer advice to athletes on how to live or on leadership skills. He also discusses the way that non-Western attitudes found in Buddhism, Taoism, and the Bhagavad Gita might be used to address the vulnerabilities of sports participants. Feezell draws from current sports issues, popular literature, and contemporary sports figures to shed light on the attraction and value of sports and examine the accompanying ethical issues.
