Wealthy ex-businesswoman, Katherine Crawford, has lived alone for 30 years following the death of her young daughter, Amy. As her life advances into old age, she immerses herself in memories of Amy and thinks increasingly about her own mortality. She has a growing fear that everything ends with death and desperately seeks a reason to believe that she will be reunited with Amy in an afterlife. As her final years unfold, the lives of others intertwine and come together in surprising ways, both by design and by chance. Within the twists and turns of the story line, the impact of love in relationships has great significance as does the creation of new life, in one case deliberately and, in the other, accidentally. A novel with a strong sense of place, the setting of a Greek island plays a key part in the story. It is an awe-inspiring place where connection to the natural world and a sense of transcendental possibilities feel very powerful.

Freedom Fighters

Revolutionaries fighting for the cause

By: Anne Williams,Vivian Head

Throughout the course of history, freedom fighters have been many and varied as have the motivations and the successes of the revolutions they attempted and inspired. Whether their beliefs were correct or misplaced, the courage to fight for the cause has always been the common denominator. They stood alone frequently in the face of enormous adversity and attempted to change the face of the world around them. Freedom Fighters is a record of inspirational, courageous, determined, and sometimes very dangerous people, and the places they secured for themselves in history. Contents: Ancient Freedom Fighters including Spartacus, Jesus, Boudicca Medieval Freedom Fighters including Robin Hood, William Tell, Joan of Arc Early Freedom Fighters including Martin Luther, Walter Raleigh, Simon Bolivar, Karl Marx Modern Freedom Fighters including The Suffragettes, Russian Revolution, Gandhi, Castro, Mandela

Shakespeare’s Roman Worlds

Shakespeare’s Roman Worlds

By: Vivian Thomas

The ‘infinite variety’ of Shakespeare’s Roman plays is reflected in the diversity of critical commentary to which they have given rise. Originally published in 1989, the distinguishing feature of this study is that it endeavours to convey a clear idea of the relationship between the characters and events in Shakespeare’s plays and the main narrative sources on which the four Roman plays are based, while simultaneously undertaking a critical analysis of the plays through the perspective of Shakespeare’s Roman worlds, particularly the creation and operation of the value system. Hence these plays are perceived as political plays, histories and tragedies.

Neurosemantics

Neural Processes and the Construction of Linguistic Meaning

By: Alessio Plebe,Vivian M. De La Cruz

This book examines the concept of “ Neurosemantics”, a term currently used in two different senses: the informational meaning of the physical processes in the neural circuits, and semantics in its classical sense, as the meaning of language, explained in terms of neural processes. The book explores this second sense of neurosemantics, yet in doing so, it addresses much of the first meaning as well. Divided into two parts, the book starts with a description and analysis of the mathematics of the brain, including computational units, representational mechanisms and algorithmic principles. This first part pays special attention to the neural architecture which has been used in developing models of neurosemantics. The second part of the book presents a collection of models, and describes each model reproducing specific aspects of the semantics of language. Some of these models target one of the core problems of semantics, the reference of nouns, and in particular of nouns with a strong perceptual characterization. Others address the semantics of predicates, with a detailed analysis of colour attributes. While this book represents a radical shift from traditional semantics, it still pursues a line of continuity that is based on the idea that meaning can be captured, and explained, by a sort of computation.

Sophisticated Interdependence in Climate Policy

Sophisticated Interdependence in Climate Policy

Federalism in the United States, Brazil, and Germany

By: Vivian E. Thomson

With the US as the world’s most prominent climate change outlaw, international pressure will not impel domestic action. The key to a successful global warming solution lies closer to home: in state–federal relations. Thomson proposes an innovative climate policy framework called “sophisticated interdependence.” This model is based on her lucid analysis of economic and political forces affecting climate change policy in selected US states, as well as on comparative descriptions of programs in Germany and Brazil, two powerful federal democracies whose policies are critical in the global climate change arena.
