This title puts "The Archaeology of Knowledge" at the Heart of Foucault's thought. Michel Foucault (1926-1984) was a continental philosopher and critical theorist. His book "The Archaeology of Knowledge" (1969) was his main excursion into methodology, providing an anti-humanist account of the human sciences, particularly psychology and sociology. David Webb reveals the extent to which Foucault's approach to language in "The Archaeology of Knowledge" was influenced by the mathematical sciences, adopting a mode of thought indebted to thinkers in the scientific and epistemological traditions. By aligning his thought with the challenge to Kantian philosophy from mathematics and science in the late-19th and early-20th centuries, he shows how Foucault established his own perspective on the future of critical philosophy. It sheds new light on a crucial period of Foucault's work. It highlights Foucault's relation to thinkers such as Cavailles and Serres. It has interdisciplinary appeal to continental philosophers, critical theorists, analytical philosophers and philosophers of mathematics.

Heidegger, Ethics and the Practice of Ontology presents an important new examination of ethics and ontology in Heidegger. There remains a basic conviction throughout Heidegger's thought that the event by which Being is given or disclosed is somehow 'prior' to our relation to the many beings we meet in our everyday lives. This priority makes it possible to talk about Being 'as such'. It also sanctions the relegation of ethics to a secondary position with respect to ontology. However, Heidegger's acknowledgement that ontology itself must remain intimately bound to concrete existence problematises the priority accorded to the ontological dimension. David Webb takes this bond as a key point of reference and goes on to develop critical perspectives that open up from within Heidegger's own thought, particularly in relation to Heidegger's debt to Aristotelian physics and ethics. Webb examines the theme of continuity and its role in the constitution of the 'as such' in Heidegger's ontology and argues that to address ontology is to engage in an ethical practice and vice versa.

The literature of suicidology has studiously ignored those who actually experience suicidal feelings. Webb suggests this is no accident but a very deliberate exclusion of this critically important first-person knowledge. Webb rejects the medical model that claims suicide is caused by some notional mental illness, and discusses the spiritual wisdom that released him from the persistent urge to die

This is a fun, comprehensive course to painting animals in watercolour that focuses on the two key aspirations for novice animal artists: to paint subjects in a loose yet realistic style; and to capture the essence of animals' characters. Eight complete lessons explore a range of subject areas to equip the reader with the skills required to paint all types of animals in a variety of situations. Each lesson is made up of exercises and step demonstrations, accompanied by practical instruction, beautiful illustrations and useful tip boxes. The mix of animals includes domestic pets, birds, zoo and safari animals, and young animals; galleries throughout provide inspiration and illustrate the range of possibilities here.
