The poor rural people are often deprived of the basic necessities of life - there are poverty, malnutrition, illiteracy, health hazards, natural disaster, lack of pure drinking water and so many problems. But there are constraints of budget allocation, the irony of fate is that budget is allocated for saturated development and growth of our society! There is well connectivity of air, rail and surface between two cities. Still, huge amount of capital is getting allocated for high speed train project between those two cities! Who is doing feasibility and cost benefit analysis of such projects? Who will travel the high speed trains in the age of Internet and working from home? This is the ultimate result of cut-paste thoughts and stupid decision making.
Some rich people are touring foreign land and importing the idea of blockbuster projects based on their tour experience and common sense. Actually, there is no serious and sincere thinking and deep analysis. In the same city, the scope of projects are explored in terms of overhead rail, metro rail, local train, long distant trains, bus service, airports, ports etc. It results saturation of infrastructure in a metro city. On the other hand, the rural and remote zones are deprived of essential basic infrastructures. This is really a strategic blunder and chaos experimented by the so called intellectuals of our society!!! Good by corporate social responsibility!
It is a classic topic from different angle of project management. It also shows that the scope of a project is often explored through emotional outburst and perception based nonfactual readymade decisions. It is essential to explore whether traditional heuristic search approaches (BS, BFS,DFS) are really applicable and fruitful to solve the problem of fuzzy,stochastic, multi-objecvtive, multi-mode, time and resource constrained project management. An intelligent project analytics mechanism (PAM) can solve such complex problem.

Art has always had a huge part in human life.
It isn't, of course, essential to it, everybody can live with only the basics, but existence would certainly be dull without it. Much has been written about the function of art without ever reaching an answer, however, it is proven that viewing art improves people's well-being, both psychologically and physically, it even increases brain function. Art has always played an important role in a well-balanced life. Media and commercials are always suggesting necessities but art brings our values back to the right place, highlighting what really deserves our appreciation. A finely rendered piece stirs emotion like nothing else can. For too long art was confined to churches and palaces, and only the wealthy could afford paintings and sculptures in their homes. Today art is for everyone and can be found everywhere, not only adorning our walls, but on our pillows, lampshades, duvet covers, and shower curtains.
It's portable, beautifying our bags, cell phone cases, and notebooks. Even the clothes we wear celebrate artistic expression.
In this beautiful catalog, we introduce best-selling art from ten artists around the world. Their work includes delicate watercolors, great photography, dynamic graphic design, and refined digital art.
You’ll find affordable art for yourself and gifts you'll be proud to give a family member or friend. Visit each artist's shop and enjoy the many options created to enhance your lifestyle. Featuring the artists: Yolande Anderson, Roxanne Goldstein, Julia Khoroshikh, Katerina Kirilova, Anna Lemos, MarkUK97, Nancy Smith, Melly Terpening, The 99th Studio and Dominique Vari.

Octopus does, as we would predict, live close to the limits set by its own physiology. The circulation, to take one example, is barely adequate for such an active animal, mainly because of the absence of any system for pack aging the blood pigment; haemocyanin in solution is a poor oxygen carrier. Cephalopod blood can transport less than 5 millilitres of oxygen per 100 ml of blood (compared with about 15 vol% in fish) and the whole supercharged system of triple hearts, high blood pressure and pulsating blood vessels succeeds only in returning blood that retains less than 30% of its dissolved oxygen by the time it reaches the gills.
This at rest; the effect of exercise is immediate and surprisingly long lasting even in octopuses as small as 300 g, which must very swiftly run into oxygen debt when they flee from predators or pursue their prey (Sections 3.2.2, 3.2.4). Digestion, too would seem to be limiting. As with other molluscs, digestion in Octopus is based on secretion absorption cycles by a massive diverticulum of the gut, an adequate system in a less hectic past, but scarcely appropriate in a predator that must be an opportunist in the matter of feeding. Octopus feeds mainly at night, and spends a great deal of every day sitting at home.

Summary: 'The tsars of Moscow and, later, Russia understood that without an imposing past it was impossible to create a great nation and empire.
Therefore it was necessary to glorify their historical roots and even to hijack the history of other nations. So, starting with Ivan the Terrible (1533-1584) the tsars of Moscow applied all their efforts to appropriate the history of Kyivan Rus, its glorious past, and to create an official mythology for the Russian Empire.
'Over hundreds of years and especially starting with the early XVI century, they brainwashed and continue to brainwash everyone, saying that the origins of the Russian nation and people are the Great Kyivan kingdom. They assert that Kyivan Rus was the cradle of three sibling nations – Russians, Ukrainians and Belarus; and that because the Russians are “older brothers,” they have the right to the legacy of Kyivan Rus.
To this day, Russian historians and officials make use of this woeful lie, which is repeated by the ‘fifth column’ of communists and almost all Party of Regions deputies in [Ukrainian] Parliament.' 'The first comprehensive account of the growing dominance of the intangible economy Early in the twenty-first century, a quiet revolution occurred. For the first time, the major developed economies began to invest more in intangible assets, like design, branding, R&D, and software, than in tangible assets, like machinery, buildings, and computers. For all sorts of businesses, from tech firms and pharma companies to coffee shops and gyms, the ability to deploy assets that one can neither see nor touch is increasingly the main source of long-term success.
But this is not just a familiar story of the so-called new economy. Capitalism without Capital shows that the growing importance of intangible assets has also played a role in some of the big economic changes of the last decade.
The rise of intangible investment is, Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake argue, an underappreciated cause of phenomena from economic inequality to stagnating productivity. Haskel and Westlake bring together a decade of research on how to measure intangible investment and its impact on national accounts, showing the amount different countries invest in intangibles, how this has changed over time, and the latest thinking on how to assess this. They explore the unusual economic characteristics of intangible investment, and discuss how these features make an intangible-rich economy fundamentally different from one based on tangibles. Capitalism without Capital concludes by presenting three possible scenarios for what the future of an intangible world might be like, and by outlining how managers, investors, and policymakers can exploit the characteristics of an intangible age to grow their businesses, portfolios, and economies.
Jonathan Haskel is professor of economics at Imperial College Business School. Stian Westlake is a senior fellow at Nesta, the UK’s national foundation for innovation. Haskel and Westlake are cowinners of the 2017 Indigo Prize.

--Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation. In King John, medieval historian Stephen Church argues that John's reign, for all its failings, would prove to be a crucial turning point in English history. In this authoritative biography, Church describes how it was that a king famous for his misrule gave rise to Magna Carta, the blueprint for good governance.
Published 2015. Review: 'But the author never succeeds in providing a nuanced portrait of John himself, or explaining what it was that led him to act as he did.
More disappointing, Church fails in his treatment of an essential aspect — more, the most critical historical event — of John’s reign, the creation and signing of the Magna Carta.'

The Golden Thread traces the interconnectedness of esoteric wisdom in the Western world, from classical antiquity to contemporary Europe and America. Joscelyn Godwin lends personal perspective to an arrangement of text that is historical and wisdom that is timeless, creating a source of inspiration that calls us to action in our everyday spiritual practice. Every chapter, therefore, makes reference to some aspect of contemporary life and issues of immediate concern. Elegantly written and not without irony and humor, readers will appreciate the non-threatening tone of Godwin’s writing, which is not meant to preach or convert but rather inform the public on an often baffling field. Educated readers who are curious about the esoteric and mystery traditions and interested in finding surprising, new approaches to subjects that veer away from the trends of current thought will be particularly drawn to this book.

'need of therapists for some protection and help from phenomena such as 'delusional transference'.' When psychologists end up with complaints levelled against them it's often because they have unwittingly slid too far down a slippery slope-a result of inadvertent or ignorance about their ethical obligations or a cavalier type thinking that they could handle a situation that then spiralled out of control.Too many practitioners live in a therapists-can-do-no-wrong fantasy, assuming any problematic therapy must stem from client defects. How convenient to be able to heap everything onto the client. So any criticism complaint grievance or protest is `denial' or `projection' or `transference' or `non-compliance'.When confronted with allegations of unethical conduct the therapist says 'that never happened',the client is very mentally ill with a diagnosis of blank and blank, and unfortunately (sigh) has quite a fantasy life/ paranoid/ exaggerating,attention seeking blah blah blah. If you adopt the Gallagher/Haworth mindset of paranoid vigilance not only are you more likely to make mistakes and errors of judgement you will run the risk of alienating your clients. Clients have an intuitive sense of how they are being regarded and they will be very put off due to your evident lack of unconditional positive regard. Psychologist Nalini Ambady, researched the characteristics of physicians likely to be sued by their patients.Her research accurately predicted the physicians that had been sued.She found the first few seconds of conversation and the perceived 'niceness' of the practitioner predicted the success of the relationship-it had very little to do with competence it was all to do with how they interacted.
'ONE POSSIBLE COMPLAINT SCENARIO A challenging client abruptly terminates a therapy session and cancels further sessions. You are told the complaint alleges abusive behaviour.' Fighting the impulse to deny a wrongdoing is extremely hard for everyone and that includes counselling psychologists psychotherapists and the organizations they work for. Pathologizing a client is a strategy of disconnection that devalues therapy as a process [Judith Jordan 2013].Without the 'blame the client' strategy the therapist is forced to take a look at the potentially harmful aspects of their professional practice.
There is usually something in a complaint indicating some individual difficulty that needs to be taken seriously unfortunately pathologizing the client is an all too easy cop out:client blaming is,in most cases,reflexive and unconscious. Most therapists who find themselves on the receiving end of complaints don't do harm intentionally.They are usually so overly anxious (due to the fear of failure and the fear of being judged) to prove to their colleagues and to themselves that they are doing a good job that they become clueless and rather ignorant of how their words & actions are damaging clients.
They often struggle with insecurity because many of them come from parentified or co-dependent backgrounds and due to ego and vulnerability limitations they seem to have a neurotic need to prove to others that they are worthy of something.If a therapist can't reflect on their own behaviour they will be oblivious to their insensitivity to clients,receiving a complaint will therefore be a great shock to them. A significant number of people get harmed while receiving mental health services due to the dysfunctional character of the whole mental health system.Besides the obvious reasons like the shortage of government funding or the lack of consumer awareness the other major contributing factor is the mental health professionals poor performance. Some of the consequences of the mechanistic software myth • The software elites have turned software into a weapon, a means to dominate and control society. • We depend more and more on the type of software that demands only trivial skills, so we are prevented from using our minds and expanding our knowledge. • The software elites are inducing dependence on inferior, standard systems, and are preventing independent, responsible programming. • New software products are installed every year in millions of places without being used, presumably because they are not the “solutions” they were said to be. • Software products and innovations are advertised by describing a few successes, which is logically equivalent to lying.
• Universities are teaching and promoting invalid, pseudoscientific software notions. • Less than 1 percent of the programming activities in society represent useful work – work benefiting society in the way the work of doctors does.
• Individuals with practically no programming experience act as industry experts – they write books on programming, teach courses, and provide consulting services. • Many software companies exploit the ignorance of programmers and users by suggesting that their products possess supernatural powers. • Programmers rely on worthless theories, development environments, and ready-made pieces of software, instead of programming and improving their skills. • Major government projects are abandoned after spending vast amounts of public money, while the incompetents responsible for these failures continue to be seen as software experts.
• Corporations cannot keep their software applications up to date and must acquire or develop new ones over and over. • Society must support a growing software bureaucracy – more and more workers are changing from individuals who perform useful tasks to individuals who merely practise the mechanistic software myth.
• The concept of expertise is being degraded to mean, not the utmost that human minds can attain, but simply acquaintance with the latest software systems. • Our software culture is so corrupt that it has become, in effect, a form of totalitarianism. ------------ About the book Addressing general readers as well as software practitioners, Software and Mind discusses the fallacies of the mechanistic ideology and the degradation of minds caused by these fallacies.
Mechanism holds that every aspect of the world can be represented as a simple hierarchical structure of entities. But, while useful in fields like mathematics and manufacturing, this idea is generally worthless, because most aspects of the world are too complex to be reduced to simple structures. Our software-related affairs, in particular, cannot be represented in this fashion. And yet, all programming theories and development systems, and all software applications, attempt to reduce real-world problems to neat hierarchical structures of data, operations, and features.
Using Karl Popper's famous principles of demarcation between science and pseudoscience, the book shows that the mechanistic ideology has turned most of our software-related activities into pseudoscientific pursuits. Using mechanism as warrant, the software elites are promoting invalid, even fraudulent, software notions. They force us to depend on generic, inferior systems, instead of allowing us to develop software skills and to create our own systems. Software mechanism emulates the methods of manufacturing, and thereby restricts us to high levels of abstraction and simple, isolated structures. The benefits of software, however, can be attained only if we start with low-level elements and learn to create complex, interacting structures. Software, the book argues, is a non-mechanistic phenomenon. So it is akin to language, not to manufactured objects.
Like language, it permits us to mirror the world in our minds and to communicate with it. Moreover, we increasingly depend on software in everything we do, in the same way that we depend on language. Thus, being restricted to mechanistic software is like thinking and communicating while being restricted to some ready-made sentences supplied by an elite. Ultimately, by impoverishing software, our elites are achieving what the totalitarian elite described by George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty-Four achieves by impoverishing language: they are degrading our minds.
-------------- About the myth The mechanistic myth is the belief that everything can be described as a neat hierarchical structure of things within things. And few of us realize that our entire culture is now based on this fallacy. While the world consists of complex, interacting structures, we prefer to treat every phenomenon as a simple, isolated structure. Through our software pursuits, the mechanistic myth has spread beyond its academic origins and is affecting every aspect of human existence. In just one generation, it has expanded from worthless theories of mind and society (behaviourism, structuralism, universal grammar, etc.) to worthless concepts in the field of programming (structured programming, object-oriented programming, the relational database model, etc.) to worthless software-related activities that we all have to perform. What is worse, our mechanistic beliefs have permitted powerful software elites to arise.
While appearing to help us enjoy the benefits of software, the elites are in fact preventing us from creating and using software effectively. By invoking mechanistic software principles, they are fostering ignorance in software-related matters and inducing dependence on their systems. Increasingly, in one occupation after another, all we need to know is how to operate some software systems that are based on mechanistic principles. But our minds are capable of non-mechanistic knowledge.
So, when the elites force us to depend on their software, they exploit us in two ways: by preventing us from creating better, non-mechanistic software; and by preventing us from using the superior, non-mechanistic capabilities of our minds. The ultimate consequence of our mechanistic culture, then, is the degradation of minds. If we restrict ourselves to mechanistic performance, our non-mechanistic capabilities remain undeveloped. The world is becoming more and more complex, yet we see only its simple, mechanistic aspects. So we cope perhaps with the mechanistic problems, but the complex, non-mechanistic ones remain unsolved, and may eventually destroy us. ------------------- Reviews: www.forewordreviews.com The scientific method of mechanism, by which the study of all things is broken down to their smallest building blocks and reassembled in hierarchical order, is the intellectual crowbar that tore down the religion-based myths that dominated thought before the Renaissance.
Veteran programmer and computer scientist Andrei Sorin argues that mechanism has outlived its usefulness. Worse, it has become the new mythology, one as vigorously defended by today’s academic and technological elite as the papacy and the Inquisition protected the belief system of the Middle Ages. As the jacket attests, Sorin has the credentials that demand respect when he talks about his field of expertise and the world in which he works. While his weighty, 944-page tome, Software and Mind, is at first look overwhelming and intimidating, the arguments and observations put forth in the massive work are surprisingly, and thankfully, understandable and approachable. There is a great deal of repetition, which the author freely admits is intentional, but that repetition is necessary if a reader without his background is to comprehend his thesis.
That thesis is a damning one. It accuses academic and “software elites” (many of whom he names) of imposing an Orwellian totalitarianism on not only the scientific computer software community, but also upon those who use its products.
Sorin, like the great thinkers of the Renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment, seeks to break free of these artificial restraints, which he believes “attempt to reduce real-world problems to neat hierarchical structures of data, operations and features.” Software and Mind is not a light or easy read, although Sorin works diligently to present his theories in a logical progression and in a language and style that does not require a reader to have an advanced degree to follow, understand, or digest. Engineers are often derided for their inability to communicate ideas in ways the layman can grasp. If that is a rule, Sorin is the exception. Each of eight chapters is broken into sections, subsections, and what he calls “numbered parts.” Seven are self-contained journeys of exploration into such topics as “Language and Software,” “Pseudoscience,” and “From Mechanism to Totalitarianism.” One, however, is a book unto itself. At more than 320 pages, Chapter Seven represents not only a physical third of the book, but also its theoretical core. Each of its three main sections are further subdivided into nine or ten subsections, and it is here that Sorin takes on what he sees as the true nemesis of freedom-loving software scientists everywhere: structured programming, object-oriented programming, and the relational database model.
He derides these theories, once hailed as revolutionary, as not only “pseudoscience” but also as the equivalent of “totalitarianism.” Sorin’s indictment of his profession is sure to stir up controversy and may come as a big surprise to many of his colleagues, let alone to the general public, which has come to revere software creators as something akin to the gods of old. Then again, false gods have fallen before, and Sorin, if he is indeed correct, may just be the scientist who cracks the mythological foundation upon which he claims the modern deities of the computer age stand. From Kirkus Reviews www.kirkusreviews.com Named to Kirkus Reviews’ Best Books of 2013 In this massive philosophical treatise that crosses disciplines with verve and meticulous logic, politics, cognitive science, software engineering and more become threads in a complex examination of mental modeling. Sorin argues against what he labels the “mechanistic myth”: the belief that virtually all fields, from psychology to biology, can be addressed by pursuing methodologies and theorizing based on hierarchical modeling – a method of breaking down processes and concepts from high-level ideas into simple, indivisible base units or concepts. Although Sorin’s primary expertise and focus for the book is in programming and computer science, he convincingly argues that the success of hierarchical structures has spread from the hard sciences of physics and engineering – where, in Sorin’s estimation, these models work and should be utilized – to virtually all fields of study, including fields such as sociology and psychology in which the processes and concepts involved appear to be too complex for the relative simplicity of hierarchical modeling. Since these fields study human interactions, which function on multiple levels and can vary depending on numerous factors, Sorin argues that the important concepts and theories in these so-called “soft” sciences cannot be adequately modeled or understood using hierarchical thinking. From this basic concept, Sorin broadly examines what he sees as troubling trends in academia, software development, government and many other endeavors.
Early on, Sorin betrays the color of his conclusions through frequent use of emotionally charged words (e.g., absurd, charlatans, totalitarianism) and disdain for the majority of those working in the mechanistic mode, focusing especially on academic bureaucrats and those who, in Sorin’s opinion, work with pseudoscientific theories, such as linguist Noam Chomsky’s theories regarding universal grammar. To be fair, Sorin offers a disclaimer in his critique of the “mechanical myth”: “Myths,” he says, “manifest themselves through the acts of persons, so it is impossible to discuss the mechanistic myth without also referring to the persons affected by it.” His clear disapproval of these groups and theories doesn’t detract from the thorough explanations, well-reasoned arguments and crystalline logic he employs at every step.
His explanations of mechanistic vs. Nonmechanistic models and of the importance of tacit knowledge (meaning knowledge that is gained by experience, which isn’t always expressible in simple ways) are particularly cogent, and his textbook-length elucidations will enrich understanding for university-level students in various fields of study.
Despite moments of personal distaste, Sorin’s concise arguments stand as a model of reason. From Midwest Book Review www.midwestbookreview.com Once fodder for science fiction movies and pulp magazine stories, the computer has become a fundamental force in modern society. In “Software and Mind: The Mechanistic Myth and Its Consequences” Andrei Sorin draws upon his more than three decades of experience and expertise with respect to computers, computer systems, and their impact upon almost every aspect of our culture. Of special note is Sorin’s authoritative debunking of common place misconceptions and fallacies with respect to fostered attitudes regarding computers – including those governmental and corporate vested interests in misrepresenting software products and their usefulness. This 944 page compendium begins with modern myths regarding software, covers what Sorin refers to as the ‘pseudoscience’ of computer software, with chapters covering language and software, language as weapon, software as weapon, and software engineering.
Of special note are the sections in the concluding chapter on ‘Totalitarian Democracy’. Enhanced with a comprehensive index, “Software and Mind: The Mechanistic Myth and Its Consequences” is a work of impressively presented scholarship, and a highly recommended, seminal addition to personal, professional, and academic library Computer Science and 21st Century Philosophy reference collections and supplemental reading lists. From Reader Views www.readerviews.com Dr.
Andrei Sorin’s book “Software and Mind: The Mechanistic Myth and its Consequences,” on the current state of software development, should be required reading for anyone entering the programming field. Any programmer that is currently and dogmatically following any methodology should be handed a copy of this book. In my almost 30 years of programming experience, I’ve lived through several of the changes he discusses. I know I’ve drunk from the kool-aid that was offered at the time and had to learn the lessons in this book the hard way – eventually accepting that deviations from the prescribed methodologies were the only viable option. I’ve had to fight people that are so absorbed into the various systems that they could not perceive where these systems were failing or how they were hurting projects. This book can help an old programmer win arguments over these ideas and may save some new programmers from falling into the traps. I’m not saying I agree with everything that was written in the book.
But, Andrei Sorin has obviously given this issue a lot of thought. He carefully develops the readers’ understanding of mechanism and the philosophies it was built upon. He shows where this philosophy can succeed and where it fails when it tries to describe more complex models, especially mechanism’s attempts to model human thought, intuition and capacity for learning.
Using this argument as a foundation, he shows how mechanism is applied to the software industry and used to create software that fails and the industry elite that propagates these ideas. In “Software and Mind” Dr.
Sorin breaks down the various methodologies for programming that have come in and out of vogue and explains why they fall short of the promises made by the software industry, carefully breaking them down into various fallacies and shortcomings showing were they were modified to accommodate these shortfalls by adopting parts of programming that the methodology attempted to eliminate. For example, structured programming and the “GOTO superstition” and Object Oriented Programming and its shunning of process flow. If you are in school learning to program, read the book. If you program for a living, read the book.
If you manage programmers, read the book. If you are thinking of investing in a software system, read the book before you buy. Above all else, if you find yourself clinging to the dogma of some methodology, take the time to read “Software and Mind: The Mechanistic Myth and its Consequences” by Andrei Sorin, PhD.
It may open your mind to some possibilities. ------------ Dr. Sorin received a B.Sc. In Electrical Engineering (1970) and an M.Sc. In Computer Science (1971) from the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, and a Ph.D. In Computer Science (1975) from the Imperial College, University of London, U.K.
Since 1976 he has lived in Toronto, Canada. Andrei Sorin has been programming for more than forty years. He has worked on diverse types of hardware, from 4-bit microprocessors to mainframes. Table of contents: Belief and Software (84 pages, 597 KB) This chapter is an introduction to the mechanistic myth and the mechanistic software myth, and an analysis of the similarity of mechanistic software beliefs to primitive beliefs.

From Mechanism to Totalitarianism (76 pages, 545 KB) This chapter examines the totalitarian tendencies of the mechanistic philosophy, and particularly their manifestation in our mechanistic software culture. Indez (68 pages, 604 KB) The index has three levels and detailed descriptions, and functions also as an alphabetical summary of the book’s contents. A good compilation of contributions by noted authors on the broad subject. One can, though selectively ignore aspects of the views and opinions of one of the editors, Joseph Seckbach regarding climate change and global warming.
There is no scientific basis for his interpretive statements that past changes in atmospheric CO2 composition and climate indicate that there remain questions regarding the roles of current human contributions, the rate of change and the urgency to respond. Acknowledging his works and insights over the years one can take a pass on his ad hoc, 40 years out of touch nattering in this regard. Thankfully, the other contributors do not reflect this view.
One caveat, Seckbach certainly recognizes other human influences and the impacts of industrial pollution and land use change. This work is a guidebook for clinicians who are involved in treating depressive patients and also serves the research scientists who are working on the psychopharmacological mechanisms of antidepressant actions and psychopathological mechanisms underlying mood disorders. Mood disorders such as major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder (BPD) and seasonal affective disorder (SAD) are the most disabling disorders that are among the most expensive of all medical illnesses. The pathophysiology of mood disorders is very complex and involves many mechanisms like circadian rhythm disruption, sleep abnormalities, melatonin rhythm abnormalities and alterations in melatonin receptor mechanisms, abnormalities in monoaminergic neurotransmitter mechanisms, glutamatergic release mechanisms, hippocampal neurogenesis, and abnormal immune and cytokine release mechanisms. Many antidepressants that are in clinical use today including the recently introduced novel agents like agomelatine or other antidepressants cause clinical remission by resynchronizing disrupted circadian rhythms and melatonin receptor functions, enhancing monoaminergic neurotransmission, promoting hippocampal neurogenesis, and regulating immune mechanisms. This book explains various etiological factors that are involved in the pathogenesis of mood disorders and the mechanisms of therapeutic actions of antidepressants including the recently introduced agomelatine and other antidepressants that exhibit rapid onset of action with greater efficacy and fewer side effects..

Xenophanes of Colophon was a philosophical poet who lived in various cities of the ancient Greek world during the late sixth and early fifth centuries BC. In this book, James Lesher presents the Greek texts of all the surviving fragments of Xenophanes' teachings, with an original English translation on facing pages, along with detailed notes and commentaries and a series of essays on the philosophical questions generated by Xenophanes' remarks. Also included are English translations of all the ancient testimonia relating to Xenophanes' life and teachings, and a discussion of how many of the testimonia pose the impediments to achieving a consistent interpretation of his philosophy. The Xenophanes who emerges in this account fully warrants classification as a philosophical thinker: moral critic and reflective student of nature, critic of popular religious belief and practice, and perhaps the first to challenge claims to knowledge about divine matters and the basic forces at work in nature.
As with earlier works in the Pheonix series, this volume aims to make an important portion of Presocratic writing accessible to all those interested in ancient philosophy and the first phase of European natural science. This new paperback edition contains an updated bibliography.
