Sôphrosunê, the canonical Greek virtue perhaps best reflected in the English term "self-discipline," is little remembered today, but during the generations around Socrates it was the object of significant debate-about its scope, its feel, its practical manifestations, and its value. Christopher Moore show that classical Greek thinkers judged it more fundamental than mere desire-management or temperance: they saw it as the virtue ofagency, the capacity to be a person truly responsible for his or her actions. This was the capacity to be guided by what's best, and to count, finally, as a coherent and unified "self."

Camp TV of the 1960s is the first book on camp on television that considers the various forms it took during that critical decade. It reconsiders American prime-time programs that drew significantly on aspects of camp such as Batman, The Monkees, The Addams Family, Bewitched, F Troop, British programs including The Avengers, and programs not often associated with camp TV like Snagglepuss. Thebook also investigates how musical codes convey camp humor, camp's origins and later reappropriation within queer communities, and how camp's multiple meanings allowed for more conservative readings that led to its mass dissemination by the seventies.

Richly illustrated, Oar Feet and Opal Teeth by Charles B. Miller introduces readers to free-living copepods. Copepods are small crustaceans found only in water. Although they play a critical role in maintaining ecological balance in lakes and oceans, most people are unfamiliar with them. In Oar Feet and Opal Teeth, Miller characterizes their shape, oar-like feet for escaping predators, and stone-like teeth. He also discusses copepods' internalanatomy, life cycle variations, and how they capture food and avoid predators. In addition, Oar Feet and Opal Teeth features profiles of several leading copepodologists, providing insight into how scientists study these complex and fascinating animals.

The second edition of The Law of American State Constitutions provides complete coverage of the legal doctrines surrounding, applying to, and arising from American state constitutions and their judicial interpretation.

Friedrich Nietzsche did his philosophizing while he was coming apart at the seams. His writing is disorienting for readers because he was all over the place when he produced it. But Nietzsche's philosophy is about coming apart at the seams and being all over the place, and it is a philosophy meant to cope with that predicament-which makes it both fascinating and important. Elijah Millgram provides a new way of reading Nietzsche through this insight. Nietzsche notonly recommended that you invent values for yourself; his books show you how it is done, and what it is to make a value you invent into the meaning of your life.

In Rules to Win By, Jane McAlevey and Abby Lawlor draw insights from recent hard-won unionization and contract negotiation fights to provide a guidebook on participatory social change. At the heart of the book is a vision for negotiations rooted in engaging the entire union membership-as well as the broader community in which these battles are waged-directly in the strategizing and negotiation. Rules to Win By offers not only a new theory ofnegotiation, but also tools and resources for any campaign to harness the power of ordinary people to win the public good.

Healthcare providers are constantly confronted with illness and injury, and the challenges of healing. Yet this very work, the relief of suffering, inflicts on healthcare providers suffering of their own that is often crippling. The most common terms for the pain caregivers and healers suffer from are burnout and moral distress. These common terms are, however, often used judgmentally-as if those trying to heal others have failed themselves, their colleagues, andtheir patients. The net result is that much discussion of burnout and moral distress, and the interventions they underwrite, have served only to worsen the crisis.Into the Field of Suffering: Finding the Other Side of Burnout provides a much-needed reframing of burnout and moral distress. These depleting experiences are approached as trials virtually inevitable in the course of the healer's vocation. The challenge medical professionals and caregivers face is not avoiding them, but meeting them directly with insight into the role of moral distress and burnout in the development of their vocation. Into the Field of Suffering presents aset of analytical frameworks and awareness skills, which have the potential to transform the work of healers and caregivers.

We spend a lot of time looking for explanations and arguing about them, especially causal explanations, of phenomena large and small. But what makes for good causal explanations, and how do we tell them apart from bad ones? This book aims to think through these philosophical issues by re-examining Aristotle's theory of causal explanation, which is one of the oldest and most influential. Nathanael Stein drops many common assumptions and brings together ideas that arenormally discussed in isolation, with the aim of answering the philosophical questions that have perplexed Aristotle's readers.

This work provides a new framework for understanding some of the most profound theories of human language. Ryan M. Nefdt touches on philosophical questions of what languages are, how they evolved and what the science of language should be. He takes insights and results from the natural and formal sciences and translates them into a new domain. His book offers the reader new ways of appreciating how the most unique of human traits-our ability to process and producenatural language-has been and can be studied from a scientific point of view.
