Overview: ‘This is an outline of a coherence theory of law. Its basic ideas are: reasonable support and weighing of reasons. All the rest is commentary.’These words at the beginning of the preface of this book perfectly indicate what On Law and Reason is about. It is a theory about the nature of the law which emphasises the role of reason in the law and which refuses to limit the role of reason to the application of deductive logic.In 1989, when the first edition of On Law and Reason appeared, this book was ground breaking for several reasons. It provided a rationalistic theory of the law in t

Overview: In the modern study of Hilbert space operators there has been an increasingly subtle involvement with analytic function theory. This is evident in the analysis of subnormal operators, Toeplitz operators and Hankel operators, for example. On the other hand the operator theoretic viewpoint of interpolation by analytic functions is a powerful one. There has been significant activity in recent years, within these enriching interactions, and the time seemed right for an overview ot the main lines of development. The Advanced Study Institute ‘Operators and Function Theory‘ in Lancaster, 19

Overview: Provides new results in the oblique derivative probles for elliptic equations in nonsmooth domains.Addresses problems previously studied only in smooth domains.Investigates regular oblique derivative The aim of our book is the investigation of the behavior of strong and weak solutions to the regular oblique derivative problems for second order elliptic equations, linear and quasi-linear, in the neighborhood of the boundary singularities. The main goal is to establish the precise exponent of the solution decrease rate and under the best possible conditions. The question on the behavio

Overview: Provides the first comprehensive analysis of Oscar Wilde’s history with Oxford University ?.Presents an interdisciplinary approach, combining research in nineteenth-century literature, culture and hisThis book focuses on the role that the Oxford classical curriculum has had in shaping Oscar Wilde’s aestheticism. It positions Wilde as a classically trained intellectual and outlines the path he took to gain recognition as a writer and promoter of the aesthetic movement. This narrative is conveyed through a broad range of literary sources, including Wilde’s travel poetry, American lectu

Overview: Raises awareness on psychosocial care of patients with ocular disease and sight loss.Useful theoretical and practical guide in a superficially addressed area of current literature.Enables patient empo.​Background:.  . Psychosocial care remains an extremely important part of the holistic approach to care, but one which has been underestimated in clinical practice and only superficially addressed in the ophthalmic literature to date. . This aspect of care most often gets less attention by healthcare professionals due to the dominance of a technology-enhanced approach to caring practice

Overview: Since the appearance of photosynthesis on our planet, all living organisms have been facing a new abundant, extremely reactive element, oxygen. This element is used for the synthesis of highly energetic compounds, but can also generate molecules capable of damaging constituents of living structures, including proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. It is therefore no surprise that all biological organisms have evolved multiple and sophisticated ways to reduce the detrimental effects of oxygen. For cells and tissues of highly organized animals, particularly cells of the immune system, sup
