Multimodal Mental Imagery
Authors: Nanay Bence 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Mental imagery in one sense modality (say, audition) is often triggered by sensory input in another sense modality (say, vision). This is what happens, for example, when we watch the TV muted. This is called multimodal mental imagery and its prevalence in everyday perception provides an additional reason why what we pre-theoretically take to be perception is in fact a mixture of sensory stimulation-driven perception and mental imagery.
Knowledge
Authors: Nanay Bence 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Perception can lead to knowledge. But can mental imagery lead to knowledge? Even more importantly, if perception, as we pre-theoretically think of it, is a mixture between sensory stimulation-driven perception and mental imagery, does this involvement of mental imagery diminish the epistemic cachet of perception? This chapter argues that it does not, but to see this, we need to pay thorough attention to the empirical details of how perception and mental imagery work—we need a form of naturalized epistemology.
EU Procedural Law
Authors: Lenaerts Koen , Gutman Kathleen , Nowak Janek Tomasz 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This book, now in its second edition, provides a rigorously structured and comprehensive analysis of the system of judicial protection in the European Union and the procedure before the Union Courts. It examines the role and the competences of the Union Courts and the types of proceedings brought before them, such as the actions for infringement, annulment, and failure to act, along with special forms of procedure, for example, interim relief, appeals, staff cases, and intellectual property disputes. In doing so, special attention is paid to the fields of EU competition law, State aid, anti-dumping, banking union, public procurement, and access to documents. This book also evaluates the relationship between the Court of Justice and the national courts through the preliminary ruling procedure and the interplay between Union law and the national procedural and remedial frameworks generally. Throughout, this book takes account of important jurisprudential and institutional developments, encompassing not only recent case-law, but also the restructuring of the EU judicial system and reforms in the procedure of the Union Courts. Differences from the first edition include: extensive footnotes replaced with ‘choice’ references to key case-law of the Court of Justice and the General Court, and certain chapters streamlined to centralize the procedural themes and to facilitate quick reference to particular topics.
Introduction
Authors: Pettigrew William A. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This Introduction establishes how seventeenth-century English trading corporations justified their restrictions on trade with reference to the need to intimidate the non-European peoples they proposed to trade with. The chapter highlights the irony that arguments in favour of free trade often derived from the global settings that companies continually designated as requiring monopolies. The chapter establishes the ways in which the book will treat the operations of the trading companies overseas: with special emphasis on their responsiveness to free agents (whether wayward employees or interlopers, or the non-Europeans trading with them). It details the various historiographical terrains the argument of the book engages with: global history, legal history, and the history of trading corporations, before summarising the content of each chapter.
The Way the Money Goes
Authors: Hood Christopher , King Maia , McLean Iain , Piotrowska Barbara Maria 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Based on documents and some 130 in-depth interviews with civil servants and ministers, this book explores what happened to the UK’s fiscal constitution—the framework for planning and controlling public spending—under three different governments from the early 1990s to the mid-2010s. The book combines analysis of developments in the fiscal constitution under each government with vignettes that range from the funding of a new Treasury building to efforts to ‘crowdsource’ ideas for spending cuts. The book also includes chapters devoted to different aspects of spending control, namely, capital spending, spending by subnational governments, running cost expenditure, fiscal forecasting for expenditure planning, and the development of new accounting metrics intended to promote better use of public spending and public assets. The book shows that: many of the underlying features of the UK’s fiscal constitution persisted over the period, including arrangements for formula funding of the different countries within the union that had been originally intended as a short-term fix in the 1970s; much was made of formal rules and formulae for planning and controlling public spending, but the application of those rules was variable in practice; and classificatory dexterity was a key element in shaping public spending developments over the period. A comparative chapter puts the UK story into cross-national perspective, and the book concludes by exploring four possible scenarios for the future of its fiscal constitution in the light of recent political upheavals and other possible political eruptions to come.
Latin Scientific Literature, 1450-1850
Authors: Korenjak Martin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This book provides the first overview of the vast natural scientific literature written and published in Latin in the early modern era. During this period, the emergence of what ultimately became modern science took place mainly in Latin, the international language of educated discourse. Hundreds of thousands of scientific texts were published in Latin from the invention of print to the demise of Latin as a language of science (c.1450–1850). Despite its importance, our knowledge of this literature is very limited at present. The book, which aims to rectify this situation, approaches the field, not from the perspective of a natural scientist or a historian of science, but from that of a literary scholar. Instead of the scientific content or methodology of the works under consideration, it is the genres of scientific literature and their communicative functions which are the focus of attention. The book falls into two main parts: Part I (‘Contexts’) introduces four aspects of early modern intellectual culture which are crucial for an understanding of the scientific literature of the time in as many chapters: the development of science, the role of Latin, the notion of literature, and the rise of print. Part II (‘Texts’) offers a detailed review of Neo-Latin scientific literature. In five chapters defined by the communicative functions of the texts under discussion—making sources accessible, presenting facts, arguing for certain positions, summarizing knowledge, and publicizing science—twenty pertinent genres are presented and analysed.
Arguing
Authors: Korenjak Martin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses three genres concerned with argumentative advocacy of or against certain positions. The dialogue, a genre with deep ancient roots, was by its very nature suitable for the discussion of controversial subjects. The dissertation, an extremely prolific genre in Central and Northern Europe, was originally the basis of a disputatio, an academic exercise in scholarly argumentation; from the eighteenth century, it began to evolve into the proof of a candidate’s scientific capacity which it is today. Dissertations were avidly collected by some because of the novelty of their contents. Innovativeness was also a hallmark of the monograph, the focused treatment of a single, coherent topic, which rose to new prominence in early modern times. Medium-sized, neatly structured, and thoroughly argued, this type of book was particularly well suited to the presentation of new insights and theories.
Conclusion
Authors: Korenjak Martin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The conclusion initially summarizes the marked differences between early modern scientific literature and its modern counterpart. For the rest, it falls into two parts. First, some early modern tendencies foreshadowing the later development of scientific literature are discussed: structural standardization, stylistic simplification, and the replacement of complex syntax by layout, non-text, and technical terminology. Secondly, a number of research desiderata are named: modern editions, including translations and commentaries, of exemplary texts; in-depth examinations, in article or monograph format, of all genres discussed in the book as well as of many discussed only incidentally or not at all; studies on vernacular scientific literature and its interaction with its Latin counterpart; overviews of the literary side of other fields of early modern learning (e.g. theology, law, philology); and finally, the combination of the currently dominant cultural-historical approach with a philological approach in the study of early modern science.
It’s Cells All the Way Down
Authors: Reber Arthur S. , Baluška František , Miller William B. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of the evidence to support the Cellular Basis of Consciousness theory. It reviews the large, indeed enormous, literature for sentience, awareness, subjectivity, cognitive functions, feelings, motivational states, learning, memory formation, decision-making, and communication in a large number of single-cell species. As noted in Chapter 1, these behaviours are ones routinely cited as evidence for sentience, cognition. However, within the standard approaches to what’s been dubbed ‘consciousness science’, they are treated as though they are not reflective of an existential sentience, but as ‘dumb’ routines carried out independently of any internal experiences, feelings, or valenced sensations. The material, however, makes clear that this ‘competence without comprehension’ stance is, quite simply, wrong.
The Biophysical Basis of Cellular Sentience
Authors: Reber Arthur S. , Baluška František , Miller William B. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Cellular sentience is essential for cellular evolution, coterminous with the origin of life. Placing evolution into a framework of cellular sentience grants a contextual understanding of the full range of challenges to which cells are continually exposed and better explains how relevant adaptive responses are achieved at all levels of cellular complexity. Within that sentient framework, the major adaptive role is played by the excitable plasma membrane providing a smart border governing the inside–outside dichotomy. The intelligent plasma membrane acts as a vesicle-generating system, contributing extracellular vesicles that participate in productive manipulation of the extracellular space as well as critically serving in cell–cell communication. Within the cell interior, the plasma membrane generates intracellular endosomal vesicles which internalize small parts of the extracellular space, allowing cells to probe their extracellular environment, helping to satisfy their nutritive needs. The plasma membrane provides the bioelectric boundary of the cellular self, populated by numerous receptors, sensors, transporters, and channels. These combine through ionic flows and signalling cascades, ultimately assembling bioelectromagnetic fields as cellular senomes. These senomic fields permeate the cellular internal space and also radiate externally. Senomic fields are hierarchically organized, starting with the smallest vesicular senomes extending up to the supracellular N-space Episenomes of multicellular organisms. The biophysical basis of cellular sentience was initiated by ancient rotary ATP-ases that were functional participants within the cell’s limiting membranes, providing the energetic basis of the cellular senome and electrome.
Liberating Science: The Early Universe, Evolution and the Public Voice of Science
Authors: Steane Andrew 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This book is a presentation of science for the general reader, with an emphasis on correcting widely held misconceptions, and a call to liberate science from ‘private ownership’ in cultural terms. The heart of the book is about offering to the next generation a balanced and liberating view of their own moral stature. Quantum fields and the physics of the early universe are described in non-technical language, showing what science can and cannot say about origins. Darwinian evolution is then discussed, giving due weight both to variation and to the constraints which shape the possible outcomes. It is argued that there is no good reason to think that human judgements about ethics are driven largely by instinct. The capacities of living things, including reason and moral and aesthetic judgement in humans, are not mere instincts dictated by reproductive success, but rather abilities to perceive what is so. The other liberation the book seeks, or offers, is towards saying that science is a universal, a part of our common inheritance, and not the property of just one world-view calling itself ‘scientific’. Any world-view has, built into its character, a set of values, and these cannot be derived from science but rather underpin it. The scientific community can and should make clear, in particular, that Darwinian evolution does not overturn what lies at the root of a religious response to the world.
The Making and Unmaking of Colonial Cities
Authors: Obert Julia C. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Making and Unmaking of Colonial Cities is a comparative study of architectural space in four (post)colonial capitals: Belfast, Northern Ireland; Windhoek, Namibia; Bridgetown, Barbados; and Hanoi, Vietnam. Each chapter takes up one of these cities, outlining its history of building and urban planning under colonial rule and linking that history to its contemporary shape and scope. This genealogical information is drawn from primary source documents and archival materials. The chapters then look to local literary texts to better understand the lingering impact of colonial building practices on individuals living in (post)colonial cities today. These texts often foreground the difficulty of moving through a city that can never feel comfortably one’s own; legacies of racial segregation, buildings that disregard indigenous resources, and street names that serve as constant reminders of a history of oppression, for example, can produce feelings of anxiety, even of unbelonging, for native subjects. However, the literature also highlights ways in which the subversive wanderings of particular pedestrians—taking shortcuts, trespassing in forbidden places, diverting spaces from their intended uses—can contest “official” topography. Bodies can therefore move against the power of a repressive regime, at least to some degree, even when that power is literally set in stone. The book argues for the significance of these small gestures of reclamation, suggesting that we must counterpose the potential flexibility of lived space to the prohibitions of the map in order to more fully understand (post)colonial power relations.
The Kannada Intellectual Tradition
Authors: Chakravarthy N. Manu 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The essay attempts to trace the multiple trajectories of the Kannada intellectual tradition. One of the main arguments of the essay is that the Kannada intellectual tradition does not operate with exclusivist notions. What is being suggested through this is the point that the Kannada tradition borrowed freely from Pali, Prakrit, Sanskrit, Telugu, and Tamil while shaping its various epistemological dimensions. It is also necessary to recognize the fact that the Kannada language did not try to resist linguistic registers belonging to other languages, especially Sanskrit. At the same time, the Kannada language, and, consequently, Kannada culture, drew from diverse oral traditions eliminating hierarchies between the oral and the written traditions. One can see the idea of ‘Communities of Commons’ (as far as thought, experience, and expression went) guiding the Kannada intellectual tradition. The deep understanding of a society of ‘Commons’ gave the Kannada intellectual tradition a strong democratic temper that resisted all forms of intellectual authority and power and, more significantly, gave it the energy to reject the powerful ruling notion that knowledge emanated from a single source. Locating the multiple origins of epistemology has always been central to the enquiring spirit of the Kannada tradition. It is for this reason that the essay, through references to various scholars, maintains that the vital concern of the Kannada intellectual tradition lies in its search for ‘anarchist alternatives’.
The British Miner in the Age of De-Industrialization
Authors: Arnold Jörg 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Drawing on the theorizing of Raymond Williams and Reinhart Koselleck, the study makes use of previously inaccessible records to offer a new account of the British miner in the age of de-industrialization. The book reinserts the industry’s ‘new dawn’ of the 1970s into the story of coal. It argues that Britain’s miners went through a cyclical movement—from loser to winner and back again—as Britain underwent a de-industrial revolution in the final decades of the twentieth century. The industry’s reversal of fortunes proved short-lived. It was significant all the same. Its significance, the book argues, did not lie in affecting the long-term trajectory of the industry. Rather, the ‘new dawn’ was important in raising the political and cultural stakes. The figure of the coal miner became invested with sharply contrasting characteristics: proletarian traditionalist and standard bearer of socialist advance, hero and villain, underdog and enemy. The miners were no mere spectators in this process. They were agents, thought to be uniquely powerful by their numerous opponents, and half-believing in this power themselves. The miners’ special nature, however, jarred with the aspiration to lead an ordinary life, producing tensions that were most cruelly exposed in the year-long strike of 1984/5. As the industry’s reconstruction intensified in the aftermath of the strike, mineworkers were transformed from awe-inspiring agents wielding collective power into admirable but pitiful symbols of the changes wrought by de-industrialization itself, as the study shows.
Beyond Quick Fixes
Authors: Rouse William B. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Beyond Quick Fixes steps back from business as usual to rethink how we can approach the complex challenges of contemporary society—health, education, energy, and social media. Rouse retreats, initially, into the principles of design thinking rather than policymaking; he rigorously reconsiders our typical modes of operation and explores alternative ways of thinking about complex problems and potential solutions. The result is an integrated approach to addressing complexity to assist leaders and advisors responsible for addressing these challenges. He shows that this approach is economically feasible and attractive, and provides guidance on likely challenges from the perspective of organizational and individual change.
Introduction
Authors: Mohan Rajat 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The world is now richer, healthier, and more literate than it was just a generation ago. These are all very significant, if not dramatic, achievements and there is much to celebrate. However, many around the world still suffer from significant deprivations. Many countries suffer from the ills of higher and indeed growing inequalities. Here is a hypothetical place that would represent such a place where governance is poor and corruption is rife. Justice and basic freedoms are denied to many by capricious rulers. Discrimination based on faith, race, ethnicity, or gender orientation is common. Denmark is another hypothetical place where the opposite holds true. Poor governance is a root cause of the many ills that people here suffer. Improving governance needs good, strong institutions. Institutions are both the formal and informal rules with which a society conducts itself. Time, history, culture, leadership and yes, luck all play a role in building institutions and will obviously vary from country to country. There is no easy road map for the journey from Here to Denmark. Each society will have to find its own way. But the experiences of several countries point to a common lesson: the overriding importance of human capital and an empowered citizenry which can actively participate in the affairs of their society in building strong institutions.
Better Understanding, Better Interventions
Authors: Mohan Rajat 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Basing public policy choices and institutional designs on neoclassical assumptions of unbounded rationality can be misleading. A better understanding of how humans think and act will lead to better interventions. Social contexts matter. Thus, policy and institutional prescriptions need to be context-specific and cannot be simply transplanted as ‘best practice’ from elsewhere. The relentless grind of poverty imposes a disproportionately unfair cognitive tax on the poor. It narrows the frame of choices they believe are open to them, and so they often choose inferior options. Encouragingly, better choices result from institutional interventions which alleviate such stresses. Research in psychological and behavioural sciences shows that ‘bounded’ humans could sometimes use help in their complex decision-making process, a nudge. By the very nature of their evolution, norms and mental models have long staying power. They can have the positive effects of the collective knowledge and wisdom of the ancestors being bequeathed to successive generations. But they can also outlive their relevance and become counterproductive. Changing norms need collective actions. Participatory deliberations, empowering the affected people, raising social awareness, or offering a counter norm to anchor the change are some such possible actions. Actions by the government and the deployment of a law can also shift norms. Changing mental models are usually more difficult since they are self-enforced. However, with better understanding of these behavioural aspects, societies can devise better institutional interventions, hopefully leading to a better world.
Spanish in Chicago
Authors: Potowski Kim , Torres Lourdes 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This is the first book-length study of Spanish in Chicago, a site where Spanish is a minority language in contact with dominant English. The book’s goal is to describe the oral Spanish of Chicago-based Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and MexiRicans across three generations, identify patterns of change, and propose explanations for them. It describes what happens when speakers who use different varieties of Spanish come into contact with one another in Chicago. The study contributes to discussions of possible language or dialect contact outcomes such as linguistic convergence, dialect leveling, accommodation, and language loss. The book starts with an introduction to the history of the Puerto Rican and Mexican communities in Chicago, including histories of settlement, shifting demographics, contact and engagement, and mutual social and linguistic attitudes. It features an analysis of five linguistic features: lexical familiarity, proportional use of so versus entonces, number of codeswitches and percentage of English use, production of subjunctive morphology in obligatory and variable contexts, and two phonological features, the weakening of coda /s/ and the velarization of /r̄/. The analyses consider the role of proficiency and generation in the production of all five of these features. The book then offers an extensive discussion of the factors that underlie the development of diverse Spanish proficiency levels within Latino Chicago and offers suggestions for how to promote Spanish language vitality across generations in the future. The book’s findings are compared to other foundational studies of Spanish in the U.S.
