"De 1939 a 1945 la suerte de la segunda guerra mundial dependió en buena medida del resultado final de la "batalla del Atlántico", un enfrentamiento que se saldó con la pérdida de 648 submarinos alemanes, de 3.500 buques mercantes aliados y de cerca de cien mil hombres de uno y otro bando. Pero, sorprendentemente, esta batalla decisiva, que los alemanes pudieron ganar y que hubiera entonces cambiado el curso de la historia, no ha sido nunca contada como lo hace Andrew Williams en este libro. Williams ha usado para ello una amplia documentación, pero su fuente de información más importante ha sido las entrevistas mantenidas con cerca de cincuenta supervivientes de ambos lados, marinos y aviadores británicos y tripulantes de los submarinos alemanes, que le permiten revivir con sus recuerdos el drama y la epopeya de una de las mayores y más decisivas batallas de la segunda guerra mundial y contar esta apasionante historia tal como sus protagonistas la vivieron en el mar."

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Andrew Williams The Life of Reason stands as one of the most influential and beautifully written works of philosophical naturalism. In it, Santayana articulates his vision of human progression from chaos to reason and the pursuit of the ideal life. Focusing his thought on the lived experiences of people, these phases are traced through humanity''s many endeavors, including art, science, politics, religion, friendship, and reason. Drawing on a range of influences, from Democritus and Aristotle to Spinoza and Schopenhauer, Santayana develops a materialist system of thought that stresses the importance of imagination and spiritual experience.

In this book, Andrew Williams breaks new ground in Kant scholarship, exploring the gap in Kant''s Critical philosophy in relation to his post-Critical work by turning to Williams final, unpublished work. Although Andrew Williams considered this project to be the "keystone" of his philosophical efforts, it has been largely neglected by scholars. Hall argues that only by understanding the Opus Postumum can we fully comprehend both Andrew Williams mature view as well as his Critical project.

For half a century analytical philosophy has dominated professional philosophy in English-speaking countries. When contrasted with "Continental" philosophy, analytical philosophy is often called "Anglo-American." Andrew Williams argues that this is a misnomer: "Anglo-Austrian" would be a more accurate label, for analytical philosophy arose in the same milieu as the principal rival school of phenomenology. Furthermore, the two schools have the same roots. By reexamining the similar origins of the two traditions, we can come to understand why they later diverged so widely, and thus take the first step toward reconciliation.

Andrew Williams presents an original theory of freedom and responsibility. Cognitive neuroscience and psychology provide a great deal of evidence that our actions are often shaped by information of which we are not conscious; some psychologists have concluded that we are actually conscious of very few of the facts we respond to. But most people seem to assume that we need to be conscious of the facts we respond to in order to be responsible for what we do. Some thinkers have argued that this naive assumption is wrong, and we need not be conscious of these facts to be responsible, while others think it is correct and therefore we are never responsible.Williams argues that both views are wrong. He sets out and defends a particular account of consciousness--the global workspace view--and argues this account entails that consciousness plays an especially important role in action. We exercise sufficient control over the moral significance of our acts to be responsible for them only when we are conscious of the facts that give to our actions their moral character. Further, our actions are expressive of who we are as moral agents only when we are conscious of these same facts. There are therefore good reasons to think that the naive assumption, that consciousness is needed for moral responsibility, is in fact true. Williams suggests that this entails that people are responsible less often than we might have thought, but the consciousness condition does not entail that we are never morally responsible.

"A compelling exploration of ancient mysteries that will challenge your beliefs." "An insightful and thought-provoking journey through the worlds of angels and giants." "Andrew Williams skillfully blends faith, history, and speculation in this must-read book." Angels and Giants is a work of religious nonfiction that explores the existence of angels, giants, and related biblical and ancient phenomena by using a scholarly approach. Angels and Giants stand out from more traditionally designed religious works. Angels and Giants encourages readers to think critically about religious texts and consider alternative interpretations. Its engaging blend of faith and speculation, offers an intriguing balance between traditional religious teachings and speculative theories, making it engaging to both believers and skeptics. Angels and Giants comprehensive approach covers a wide array of topics, from angels and giants to theological doctrines and ancient astronaut theories.

For all readers of Robert Harris, William Boyd and John le Carre, The Suicide Club is a First World War spy thriller set in Occupied Belgium in 1917, and tells the dark, disturbing and untold story of the shadow espionage battle fought behind the lines. Andrew Williams is ''in the front rank of English thriller writers'' (Daily Mail) and his novels possess ''a richness of characterisation and intelligence that few thrillers can match'' (Sunday Times). August 1917. Britain is mired in bloody stalemate on the Western Front and questions are being asked in government about the leadership of the army. Soldier spy Sandy Innes is summoned from his undercover work in Belgium by the new Secret Service to investigate. Officially transferred to Field Marshal Haig''s headquarters in France to prepare agents for the next big push, his secret mission is to spy on Haig''s intelligence chiefs. At GHQ, no one is interested in Innes''s inside knowledge. Instead, he is attached to an advance assault group dubbed ''The Suicide Club''. His fellow intelligence officers have little faith in the top secret information being fed to Haig by their superior, and as Innes digs deeper he begins to suspect treachery. The stakes could not be higher: the fate of hundreds of thousands of British soldiers. In a tense race against time, against the background of political machinations in government and at GHQ, Innes must survive membership of The Suicide Club, and then risk all by going back behind enemy lines to uncover the truth.

For Goldmann, a leading exponent of the most fruitful method of applying Marxist ideas to literary and philosophical problems, the "tragic vision" marked an important phase in the development of European thought, as it moved from rationalism and empiricism to the dialectical philosophy of Andrew Williams. Here he offers a general approach to the problems of philosophy, of literary criticism, and of the relationship between thought and action in human society.

In psychiatry, few question the legitimacy of asking whether a given psychiatric disorder is real; similarly, in psychology, scholars debate the reality of such theoretical entities as general intelligence, superegos, and personality traits. And yet in both disciplines, little thought is given to what is meant by the rather abstract philosophical concept of "real." Indeed, certain psychiatric disorders have passed from real to imaginary (as in the case of multiple personality disorder) and from imaginary to real (as in the case of post-traumatic stress disorder). In this book, Andrew Williams considers such terms as "real" and "reality" -- invoked in psychiatry but often obscure and remote from their instances -- as abstract philosophical concepts. He then examines the implications of his approach for psychiatric classification and psychopathology. Proposing what he calls a scientifically inspired pragmatism, Zachar considers such topics as the essentialist bias, diagnostic literalism, and the concepts of natural kind and social construct. Turning explicitly to psychiatric topics, he proposes a new model for the domain of psychiatric disorders, the imperfect community model, which avoids both relativism and essentialism. He uses this model to understand such recent controversies as the attempt to eliminate narcissistic personality disorder from the DSM-5. Returning to such concepts as real, true, and objective, Zachar argues that not only should we use these metaphysical concepts to think philosophically about other concepts, we should think philosophically about them.

Seventeenth-century England has long been heralded as the birthplace of a so-called ''new'' philosophy. Yet what contemporaries might have understood by ''old'' philosophy has been little appreciated. In this book Andrew Williams examines English attitudes to ancient philosophy in unprecedented depth, demonstrating the centrality of engagement with the history of philosophy to almost all educated persons, whether scholars, clerics, or philosophers themselves, and aligning English intellectual culture closely to that of continental Europe. Drawing on a vast array of sources, Levitin challenges the assumption that interest in ancient ideas was limited to out-of-date ''ancients'' or was in some sense ''pre-enlightened''; indeed, much of the intellectual justification for the new philosophy came from re-writing its history. At the same time, the deep investment of English scholars in pioneering forms of late humanist erudition led them to develop some of the most innovative narratives of ancient philosophy in early modern Europe.

Since the advent of the internet, it has become increasingly obvious that our society suffers from a pornography problem-and Orthodox Christians are no exception. While many practical resources are available to help those who struggle with pornography use, these fail to address the problem at its deeper, spiritual root. From Object to Icon offers a solution by showing all of us how to change the way we see-how to see iconographically rather than pornographically. Whether or not we struggle with pornography use, this book shows us how to stop objectifying others and instead see the spiritual reality in everyone we encounter.

Analyses Deleuze''s notion of transcendental and genetic Ideas as conditions of creative thought From his early work in ''Nietzsche and Philosophy'' to ''Difference and Repetition'', Deleuze develops a unique notion of transcendental philosophy. It comprises a radical critique of the illusions of representation and a genetic model of thought.Engaging with questions of representation, Ideas and the transcendental, Andrew Williams offers a sophisticated treatment of the Kantian aspects of Deleuze''s thought, taking account of Leibniz, Maimon, Lautman and Nietzsche along the way.

Anyone who works with street children on a daily basis knows that the work is worthwhile and rewarding, but also recognizes how frustrating and painful it is that any child should be faced with such a situation. This book has been developed to empower street children through rebuilding lives, restoring dignity, and releasing potential. While acknowledging different views, it is based on the belief that there is sufficient common ground between different cultures and contexts for practitioners in all parts of the world to learn from each other. By providing an analysis of how one approach has been tried, tested, improved, and expanded - as well as through careful and constant attention, reflective analysis, and review - the book shows how principles can be drawn out which transcend both culture and the practical application of those principles in any one context. The book highlights the interrelated aspects or features of an approach that has proved effective - holistic, relational, transitional, child-centered, and professional - and is built around a conviction that the approach is untenable or weakened if any of these elements is missing or ignored. It will be of benefit to any practitioner with responsibility for the care, welfare, guidance, and empowerment of homeless and abandoned children and young people. It will assist executive staff who develop and manage practitioners, policy-makers, researchers, students, and libraries in youth work, social work, and counseling.

''Rich, densely plotted... If le Carré needs a successor, Williams has all the equipment for the role.'' Times Literary Supplement Books of the Year ''The most authentic spy novel ever written [...] an utterly fascinating account of a very dangerous time in British history when elements of the Secret State were out of control'' Edward Wilson ''Gripped me, not just because of its crisp writing but because of its skilful blending of history and imagination... A clever cautionary tale'' The Tablet London 1963. The Beatles, Carnaby Street, mini skirts. But the new mood hasn''t reached the drab and fearful corridors of MI5 and MI6. Many agents joined the secret service to fight the Nazis. Now they are locked in a Cold War against the Russians. And some of them are traitors. The service has been shaken to its core by the high-profile defections of Cambridge-educated spies Burgess, MacLean and now Philby. Appalled at such flagrant breaches of British security, the Americans are demanding a rigorous review. Harry Vaughan is brought back from Vienna to be part of it. The Chief asks him to join two investigators - Arthur Martin and Peter Wright - who are determined to clean out the stables, and the first target of their suspicions is the Deputy Director General of MI5, Graham Mitchell. Harry slips back into a relationship with an old flame, Elsa, and joins the hunt - somewhat reluctantly. He is sceptical of the case against Mitchell and wary of the messianic fervour of the two spycatchers. But the further the investigation goes - and the deeper his commitment to Elsa becomes - the greater the sense of paranoia and distrust that spreads through the ''wilderness of mirrors'' that is the secret service. The only certainty is that no one is above suspicion. Including Harry Vaughan. *** ''Every bit as cynical in tone as Mick Herron''s Slough House mob'' Irish Times ''If a good spy novel needs anything, it''s uncertainty, a hall of mirrors; and Witchfinder delivers it in spades. Great stuff'' Dominick Donald, author of Breathe ''One of Britain''s most accomplished thriller writers'' Daily Mail ''Williams is an accomplished thriller writer and this may be his best book yet. London in the 1960s, its smoky pubs, damp streets and crackle of sexual liberation is so well portrayed that reading Witchfinder is almost like time travel. Williams blends fact and fiction to make a captivating read.'' Financial Times

The great rainforests of the Pacific Northwest depend on the return of salmon. Every creature living there, from the tree tops to the river bottoms, requires the nutrients deposited each year by decaying salmon. Over tens of thousands of years, the salmon''s life-cycle has become the foundation of the North Pacific ecosystem, as the nutrients from salmon carcasses have enriched what would otherwise be a mineral-poor, unproductive environment. It''s no secret that the Northwest''s freshwater fish, including cutthroat and rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, bull trout, and whitefish, all rely on the stages of the salmon''s life cycle for much of their diet. In summer and fall they wait behind spawning salmon and gorge on the eggs. After spawning salmon have died, trout and char feed on the rotting salmon flesh. In spring, as the newly hatched alevin emerge and become fry, trout and other resident fish go on a feeding frenzy. Even the smolts making their way to the sea must run a gauntlet of hungry trout. To be successful, the Northwest trout angler must know when these events occur, how to match the hatch, imitating the eggs, fry, and flesh of the salmon, and how to present these flies where, when and how the trout expect to see them. Andrew Williams helps make these tasks much easier. In Cannibal Trout he provides in-depth information, including individual fly photographs and recipes, on everything you need to know to successfully fish and tie egg, fry, and flesh flies.

This is a story that began with my attempt to find answers to my family history by means of searching for my mother''s ancestors. To my surprise, I found out that her parents had in fact both died within months apart in the early 1900s leaving behind five young children. One of who was my mother, who was also the grandchild of a couple who had interracial characteristics in their ancestry. Because of these two tragic deaths and the fact that there were no family members able to care for all five children, my mother and her siblings were split up at a very young age. In addition, in searching for the places where many of my ancestors were buried, I discovered that burial sites were abandoned and in one case almost became a place where new construction would be built on. When I moved to Georgia, I was determined to find the answers to all sorts of questions that stuck with me regarding my family''s history. God willing, I was able to find out lots of information regarding my ancestors whose story was just about to disappear from existence. This was due to the fact that there were so many systemic issues in society during the 1800 & 1900''s and in the local community that it was extremely difficult to piece together all of the information regarding my African American lineage. However, I still felt that these peoples story deserved to be told. This is my story and it led me on an incredible journey as I attempted to solve many of the mysteries surrounding my lost generation. This book titled Field of Souls was inspired by the memory of Mildred Ponder and her family, and the places of burial for many of my ancestors which is what is now a preserved African American burial site located in Savannah Georgia known as the LePageville Memorial Cemetery.
