During his early years in Ghana, West Africa, Philip had wanted to make a living by drumming and singing; however, his father discouraged him from such an idea because he felt that one could not make a decent living performing art in a developing country. His father insisted that Philip become a medical doctor; this started Philip on a path of faith instead of mental truthfulness. After pursuing science unsuccessfully through faith, Philip decided to be mentally truthful, thereby dropping all science courses and settling for a degree in business management. However, his quest for God led him to become one of the Jehovahs Witnesses. A tragedy in his life opened his eyes to the kindness of human beings in general, discouraging him from associating with any religious indoctrination that characterizes a fellow human being as unbeliever, infidel, gentile, or worldly. By being mentally truthful, Philip discovered that understanding is the real power of his mind, and that judgment is the actual function of his conscience. In The Reasonable View of God, Philip points out that since it is demonstrable that the universe of one life can exist in another life, humanity cannot know the very nature of God any more than a malaria parasite can know the nature of a human being in whom the parasite resides. Therefore, every human being must be mentally truthful in the conceptualization of Godwhom the eyes cannot seeand emotionally sympathetic towards fellow human beingwhom the eyes can see.

Obesity is one of the most important contributing factors to disease throughout the world and is an area of great current interest among researchers and clinicians. The genetics of common obesity is complex, and an important thread through this labyrinth is the study of genetic syndromes in which obesity is a major component. By examining the genetic mechanisms of obesity in these syndromes, the authors will shed new light on the genetics of common obesity. This is the first book on this important and exciting new area and addreses both the molecular and clinical features of the obesity syndromes, providing hard-core information for researchers and practical guidelines for clinicians caring for obese patients. The book is divided into three sections: the first covers approaches for assessing and investigating the obese individual; the second describes nondysmorphic, monogenic forms of obesity; and the third documents key, multisystem obesity syndromes with various genetic etiologies. It is as much a reference book as it is a manual and will appeal to clinical geneticists, obesity researchers, endocrinologists, nutritionists, and medical biologists.
Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld, born in 1879, died prematurely in 1918. He left only a few law journal articles as his published work. His 'Fundamental Legal Conceptions', originally published as two articles in the 'Yale Law Journal' for 1913 and 1917 and left incompletely revised at his death is, however, one of the principal foundations of analytic jurisprudence. The analysis of rights that Hohfeld offers is still regularly cited and relied upon by both lawyers and philosophers, and it is treated as a source of insight into the nature of moral rights as well as the legal rights that were Hohfeld’s own focus of concern. Although some of his analytical distinctions were anticipated by earlier jurists, their insights were fragmentary and imperfect by comparison. Hohfeld’s systematic and exhaustive (yet concise) treatment is generally regarded as unsurpassed. This is not to say that he has not been criticized, but his book forms the essential starting point for any discussion of the nature and structure of rights. 'Fundamental Legal Conceptions' has long been difficult to obtain. This new edition makes this classic of analytic jurisprudence available with a comprehensive introduction by Dr. N.E. Simmonds of Corpus Christi, University of Cambridge, UK.
The human world is changing. Old social structures are being overwhelmed by forces of social transformation which are sweeping across political and cultural frontiers. A social animal is becoming the social species. The animal that lives in packs and herds (family, corporation, nation, state) is becoming a member of a human society which is the society of all human beings, the society of all societies. The age-old problems of social life - religious, philosophical, moral, political, legal, economic - must now be addressed at the level of the whole species, and the level where all cultures and traditions meet and will contribute to an exhilarating and hazardous new form of human self-evolving. In this book Philip Allott explores the social and legal implications and potentialities of these developments in the light of the general theory of society and law which is proposed in his groundbreaking Eunomia: New Order for a New World.
“It was early last December, as near as I can remember, I was walking down the street slightly tipsyfied. No one was I disturbing as I sat down by the kerbing, and a pig came up and sat down by my side. As I sat there in the gutter, thinking thoughts I could not utter, a lady passing by was heard to say. ‘You can tell someone who boozes by the company he chooses,’ and the pig got up and slowly walked away.” Exploring a wide range of subjects with the lyric wit of his poetry, Philip Carroll delivers a delightful read that has universal appeal. Stories of powerful emotions and human passions are woven into whimsical reflections, providing a depth of subject in a highly enjoyable style. Kookaburra Cackle Kangaroo Scat is an entertaining book that challenges the conventions of storytelling.
No figure in American history has generated more public interest or sustained more scholarly research around his various homes and habitations than has George Washington. The Permanent Resident is the first book to bring the principal archaeological sites of Washington's life together under one cover, revealing what they say individually and collectively about Washington’s life and career and how Americans have continued to invest these places with meaning. Philip Levy begins with Washington’s birthplace in Westmoreland County, Virginia, then moves to Ferry Farm—site of the mythical cherry tree—before following Washington to Barbados to examine how his only trip outside the continental United States both shaped him and lingered in local memory. The book then profiles the site of Washington’s first military engagement and his nation-making stay in Philadelphia. From archaeological study of Mount Vernon, Levy also derives fascinating insights about how slavery changed and was debated at Washington's famous home. Levy considers the fates of Washington statues and commemorations to understand how they have functioned as objects of veneration—and sometimes vandalism—for more than a century and a half. Two hundred years after his death, at the sites of his many abodes, Washington remains an inescapable presence. The Permanent Resident guides us through the places where Washington lived and in which Americans have memorialized him, speaking to issues that have defined and challenged America from his time to our own.
