Best known as the Saducismus triumphatus (1681) Joseph Glanvill’s book on witchcraft is among the most frequently published from the seventeenth century and its arguments for the reality of diabolic witchcraft elicited passionate responses from critics and supporters alike. Davies untangles the intricate development of this text and explores how Glanvill’s roles as theologian philosopher and advocate for the Royal Society of London converge in its pages. Glanvill’s broader philosophical method and unique approach to the supernatural provide a case study that enables the exploration of the interaction between the rise of experimental science and changing attitudes to witchcraft. |Science in an Enchanted World Philosophy and Witchcraft in the Work of Joseph Glanvill | History

Roughly instrumentalism is the view that science is primarily and should primarily be an instrument for furthering our practical ends. It has fallen out of favour because historically influential variants of the view such as logical positivism suffered from serious defects. In this book however Darrell P. Rowbottom develops a new form of instrumentalism which is more sophisticated and resilient than its predecessors. This position-‘cognitive instrumentalism’-involves three core theses. First science makes theoretical progress primarily when it furnishes us with more predictive power or understanding concerning observable things. Second scientific discourse concerning unobservable things should only be taken literally in so far as it involves observable properties or analogies with observable things. Third scientific claims about unobservable things are probably neither approximately true nor liable to change in such a way as to increase in truthlikeness. There are examples from science throughout the book and Rowbottom demonstrates at length how cognitive instrumentalism fits with the development of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century chemistry and physics and especially atomic theory. Drawing upon this history Rowbottom also argues that there is a kind of understanding empirical understanding which we can achieve without having true or even approximately true representations of unobservable things. In closing the book he sets forth his view on how the distinction between the observable and unobservable may be drawn and compares cognitive instrumentalism with key contemporary alternatives such as structural realism constructive empiricism and semirealism. Overall this book offers a strong defence of instrumentalism that will be of interest to scholars and students working on the debate about realism in philosophy of science. |The Instrument of Science Scientific Anti-Realism Revitalised | Philosophy

First published in 1980 Public Spending Decisions attempts to answer some important questions regarding public spending and its relationship with economic and financial stringency. By the beginning of the 1970s the expectation of continuing economic growth had become implicit in the attitudes of politicians administrators and the public in Britain; likewise the assumption of the growth of public spending had become embedded in the machinery and processes of both local and central government. How then were the local authorities and government departments affected by the abrupt halt in the growth of public spending during 1970s? How were the decisions made about the allocation of increasingly scares resources? How did the treasury ensured that the spending limits it established were not exceeded and what are the implications of changes in the attitudes of decision makers towards the growth of the public sector? The contributors are distinguished scholars in the field of local and central government. This book is a must read for scholars of public policy public administration finance and economics. |Public Spending Decisions Growth and Restraint in the 1970s | Economics

This book investigates how borders in former Soviet Union territories have evolved and shifted in the thirty years since the end of the Cold War. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 led to fifteen independent states and numerous de facto states; but this process of rebordering is not finished and social economic infrastructural cultural and political networks and spaces continue to develop. This book explores the intersection between these geopolitical shifts and the individual lived experience drawing on cases from across border regions in the Caucasus Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Throughout the book introduces and frames the case studies with well-informed theoretical conceptual and methodological overviews that situate them within border studies in general and post-Soviet border spaces in particular. Overall the book demonstrates that like a kaleidoscope the dynamic elements in these newly evolved border regions are similar yet strikingly different in their juxtapositions with the appearance of new configurations often dependent on changing geopolitical constellations. This timely guide to the post-Soviet world thirty years after the Cold War will be of interest to researchers across border studies politics geography social anthropology history Eastern European Studies Central Asian Studies and Caucasian Studies. |Post-Soviet Borders A Kaleidoscope of Shifting Lives and Lands | Development Studies

The ability to demonstrate that a specific health care profession provides valuable and effective services that meet society’s health needs is a major objective for all health care academicians and researchers. Such skills are critical to ensure service reimbursement from an increasingly small pool of health care dollars. Demonstrating clinical effectiveness depends on the reporting of written research results through journal publication so that the health care community and larger society will be able to access and read evidence supporting health care services. Today several clinical reporting standard guidelines have been created by researchers to enhance the ability of readers to evaluate the quality and value of studies. Journal Article Writing and Publication is the first text to compile those clinical research reporting standards in one source and helps educators and novice researchers to better understand the skills needed for journal publication. Health care researchers must begin using these reporting standards in order to write manuscripts that are both correctly formatted and transparently convey all critical study strengths and limitations. Educators must teach these reporting standards to students who must evaluate research reports as consumers and possible future contributors to the literature through their own writing. Journal Article Writing and Publication by Dr. Sharon A. Gutman (a former editor of the American Journal of Occupational Therapy) provides specific guidelines based on the most commonly accepted reporting standards for the preparation and writing of general research studies intervention effectiveness studies instrument development and testing studies and case reports. A section is devoted to helping authors understand the rules governing the reporting of statistical data in text and tables. Separate sections help authors understand the manuscript preparation and submission process the revision process and the etiquette guiding communication with editors and reviewers. Guidelines for the preparation of scholarly discussion papers and editorials are also provided. Journal Article Writing and Publication also features a section that aims to help doctoral students and newly minted faculty turn academic work and dissertations into publishable journal articles. Suggestions are provided to help clinicians turn clinical data into research databases that could serve as the foundation for pilot studies. Finally information is provided to help authors better understand the ethical considerations of publication including plagiarism dual submissions inappropriate authorship copyright and conflict of interest. |Journal Article Writing and Publication Your Guide to Mastering Clinical Health Care Reporting Standards

Food education initiatives exist worldwide but Japan remains unique with its food education law known as shokuiku. The country’s impressive health metrics - high life expectancies low obesity and affordable health care - often lead observers to praise this approach. This book presents a more nuanced analysis. First it challenges the assumption that food education is wholly a “good thing” by exposing underlying power mechanisms. Through food diagrams food fairs and school lunch programs government ministries promote both nationalism and traditional gender roles. Second it explores how food education operates in Japan’s rural regions where educators champion resilience and food self-sufficiency to alleviate depopulation and economic decline. This emphasis on local food persisted even in the aftermath of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster. Using Foucault’s concept of governmentality historical contextualization and extensive fieldwork in rural Japan this study reveals the complex political agenda driving food education in a non-Western society. |Food Education and Rural Resilience in Japan Nourishing National Identity

Making use of new and original material based on firsthand sources this book interrogates the vogue for collecting discussing depicting and putting to political and cultural use Roman antiquities in the French Renaissance. It surveys a range of activity from the labours of collectors and patrons to royal entries considers attacks on the craze for the antique and sets literary instances among a much wider spectrum of artistic endeavour. While Renaissance collecting and antiquarianism have certainly been the object of critical scrutiny this study brings disparate fields into a single focus; and it examines not only areas of antiquarian expertise and interest (such as statues coins and books) but also important individual historical figures. The opening chapters deal with the role played in Rome by French ambassadors who sent back antiques to collectors at court who in the person of Jean Du Bellay undertook excavations and assembled a major personal collection which was housed in a new villa in the ruined Baths of Diocletian. The volume includes a valuable appendix which presents in transcription catalogues of the collections of Cardinal Jean du Bellay. |Roman Antiquities in Renaissance France 1515�65 | Classics

This book examines the underexplored notion of epistemic marginalization of women in the African intellectual place. Women's issues are still very much neglected by governments corporate bodies and academics in sub-Saharan Africa. The entrenched traditional world-views which privilege men over women make it difficult for the modern day challenges posed by the neglect of the feminine epistemic perspective to become obvious. Contributors address these issues from both theoretical and practical perspectives demonstrating what philosophy could do to ameliorate the epistemic marginalization of women as well as ways in which African philosphy exacerbates this marginalization. Philosophy is supposed to teach us how to lead the good life in all its ramifications; why is it failing in this duty in Africa where the issue of women’s epistemic vision is concerned? The chapters raise feminist agitations to a new level; beginning from the regular campaigns for various women’s rights and reaching a climax in an epistemic struggle in which the knowledge-controlling power to create acquire evaluate regulate and disseminate is proposed as the last frontier of feminism. |African Philosophy and the Epistemic Marginalization of Women | African Studies

This book explores the simultaneous Asianisation and feminisation of mid-level management in the financial services sector in world and global cities in the Asia-Pacific. Chan draws on 50 in-depth interviews with ethnically Chinese female professionals working in middle or upper management positions in Sydney Hong Kong Shanghai and four other cities in Australia and China. She analyses the interplay between geographical location gender and career mobility. Growing numbers of transnational Chinese live and work in major cities in developed countries. In this context a new social economic ecosystem is being created for and by female professionals working in an elite sector of the service industry across the Asia-Pacific region. Chan examines the nature of this ecosystem through an examination of the lives and work of such women – their role in forming multinational networks in financial service firms their collective work situation their daily challenges and their coping strategies in the workplace and at home. A compelling comparative study which will be of great interest to scholars and students looking at the role of gender and ethnicity in globalisation. |Female Chinese Bankers in the Asia Pacific Gender Mobility and Opportunity | Asian Studies
