David Lewis

Ameerika filosoof David Kellogg Lewis (1941-2001) on ehk viimase poolsajandi olulisemaid mõtlejaid ingliskeelses analüütilises filosoofias. "Konventsioon" (1969) on tema doktoritööst välja kasvanud esimene raamat. Elame maailmas, kus suured konventsioonid, olulistele probleemidele lahendust pakkuvad kokkulepped nagu raha, keel, kombed jt. põlistavad ennast, ilma et keegi otseselt neid kokkuleppeid uuendaks või peale sunniks. Meil pole põhjust neist kõrvale kalduda, sest ühise teadmise korral saab mõistlikult eeldada, et ka teised peavad neist kinni. Lewis sobib hästi neile, kes kalduvad metafüüsilisse realismi ja representatsionismi, mille järgi maailm - ka mis tahes võimalik maailm - on kindlal objektiivsel, inimestest sõltumatul viisil olemas ja tõestel lausetel õnnestub seda esitada. Raamatule on järelsõna kirjutanud toimetaja Henrik Sova.

When the coronavirus arrived in early 2020, an anxious electorate threw its support behind Scott Morrison to guide Australia through the pandemic, leaving the Labor Party behind in a sea of irrelevance and Anthony Albanese with the role of political bit-player who could only watch from the sidelines, and hope that his political fortunes would change. At the time, Morrison held record high electoral ratings and Albanese was told to not worry about the next election: it was already out of reach and best to focus on the 2025 election and beyond. Labor appeared to be doomed to yet another extended time in opposition and were left wondering when they could ever return to office again. In 2022, Labor saw an opportunity: Morrison had made promises that he ultimately couldn't deliver and couldn't effectively deliver on the issues that should have been delivered. He was more intent on photo opportunities than the practice of good government and his leadership and government started to unravel, and it unravelled quickly. Diary of An Election Victory explores the key political moments of the 2022 election year, Morrison's demise, and Albanese's ascendancy and victory against the odds. It's a must-read analysis of one of the most dynamic and unusual election results ever in Australia's political history.

Centurion Artemus Longinus has finished his assigned duty to crucify three Roman prisoners in Jerusalem. Crucifixions were routine in this Roman Province; however, this execution would not be. Lives will be lost, lives will be changed, and a Secret Brotherhood would be born, The Brotherhood of the Nails. Behind the scenes, lurking in the shadows, a sinister presence seeks the power he believes the execution nails have. The power of the Divine for these nails were used to crucify the Son of God. His sacred blood remained on the nails, thus leading many to believe they had supernatural powers. Through the centuries a malevolent being, Sinistrus, searched for the hidden relics, but to no avail save one of the three. Until a modern-day descendant of the centurion, Dr Artemus Long, renowned archeologist from the University of Florida, discovered clues to the locations of the legendary Holy Relics. The three nails of the crucifixion, also known as the ferrum clavorum, had been hidden by the centurion at the instruction of a mysterious slave known as Aratus, a being of Light. Dr. Long's obsession with finding the holy relics was not for fame or professional recognition, but to use the legendary powers of the nails to heal his wife's blindness. Just as the blood from Christ, according to legend, had cured the centurion's ailing eyes as he pierced the side of Jesus, in the same manner the good doctor hoped to cure Sophie's darkness. But the true darkness was not in Sophie, but in Artemus Long's heart, for he had turned from his faith after prayers went unanswered to restore Sophie's eyesight. The inevitable archeological expedition to find one of the nails, the second nail, became more than an adventure to find the holy relic, but a journey back to faith for Doctor Artemus Long PhD. Join the expedition in this riveting novel of intrigue, supernatural battles, mystery, love, and faith. THE SECOND NAIL. A one-of-a-kind gripping plot- unique in countless ways- filled with Truth, good and evil, honesty and betrayal, angelic battles, mayhem and intrigue, swarms and plagues, and so much more It's a book with nail biting suspense, page after page. THE SECOND NAIL has it all

Types and categories of woodlands are explored together with the diverse motives for owning and managing this sustainable resource. Managing objectives and priorities of forest managerial operations are explained, and how they will influence the types and extent of chosen objectives, as well as the composition of tree species, structure and condition of the woodland. Policy and fiscal issues are considered, ranging from the availability of grants to tax incentives, which also influence the type and extent of forest management employed.

This book is an introduction to the wide-ranging topic of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and development, combining a critical overview of the main research literature with a set of up-to-date theoretical and practical insights drawn from experience in Asia, Europe, Africa and elsewhere. The revised second edition highlights the continuing importance of NGOs in development, while fully engaging with the criticisms that their increased profile now attracts. It considers issues such as securitization, changing technologies, and recent concerns about safeguarding as well as going into more detail around topics such as market-based development and social enterprise. The diversity of NGOs and their roles is discussed against the broader historical background of struggles for social justice in different societies, as well as within the shifting ideological contexts of neoliberalism and populism. Using a broad range of short case studies of both successful and unsuccessful interventions, the authors analyze how interest in NGOs has both reflected and informed wider theoretical trends and debates within development studies. The book argues that NGOs are central to both development theory and practice and are likely to remain important actors for many years to come. This critical overview will be useful to students of development studies at undergraduate and master's levels in fields and disciplines as diverse as International Development Studies, International Relations, Geography, Anthropology, Global Studies, Politics and International Studies, as well as general readers and practitioners.
