Understanding the European Union: A Concise Introduction

Despite the plethora of textbooks available on the European Union and the wide range of interdisciplinary and non-specialist courses on which it is studied, there has, surprisingly, until now been no single text providing concise coverage of all its major dimensions and implications. Rather than focusing just on the history or the politics or the economics of the EU or on detailed coverage of its institutions and/or policies, John McCormick's new book introduces all aspects of European integration combining a very clear and accessible thematic narrative with boxed summaries of a wide range of essential facts and figures.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

<p>Santayana's life was rich in its interior and outer associations. There was his birth and early childhood in Spain followed by a move to Boston, where he came under the influence of William James at Harvard. This led to his career at Harvard as a professor, where Wallace Stevens, Robert Frost, Conrad Aiken, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Walter Lippmann were among his devoted students. We see Santayana in correspondence and conversation with Bertrand Russell, G. E. Moore, Ezra Pound, and Robert Lowell.<br>Predominant in Santayana's life was his philosophical work. Hostile to the dominant empiricism of Anglo-American philosophy, he left the academy and remained detached from both the political and ideological movements of early decades of the twentieth century. McCormick relates his skepticism and materialism to a form of idealism deriving from his classical education in Plato and Aristotle, together with his readings in Descartes and Spinoza. He presents Santayana as a supreme stylist in English, who lived a long life always consistent with his stoic epicureanism.</p>

Old Secrets Never Die

Cogwheel Press

In 1968 the CIA, in conjunction with U.S. Army scientists, performed a top-secret experiment. The project was never completed. It continues to this day. Dr. Rachel Jamison is the medical director of Pacific View Care Center. She knew that she had trouble on her hands when a patient turned up missing. What Rachel doesn’t know is that nearly one-third of the elderly residents in her care are retired CIA operatives with a shared dark secret and a link to her childhood. 

Some Secrets Shouldn't Die

As conservation of the natural environment becomes a subject of world concern, far more employment opportunities are being made available in this area. This book shows the current careers situation, who the employers are and which qualifications they are seeking. Some aspects of conservation are extremely technical and demand specialized knowledge; others require no qualifications in environmental subjects. Voluntary work is plentiful and relevant experience can be valuable when combined with technical qualifications in seeking a paid post.
