Estimates of temporal-spatial variability of wildfire danger across the Pan-Arctic and extra-tropics
Satellite-based hot-spot analysis for the Pan-Arctic, shows that Asia experiences a greater number of fires compared to North America and Europe. While hot spots are prevalent through the year in Asia, Europe (North America) exhibits marked annual (semi-annual) variability. The Potential Fire Danger index (PFIv2) demonstrates increased fire incidence vulnerability across the Arctic and extra-tropics. Though not significant in northwestern North A…

Whitman's Assumptions
Whitman's Song of Myself is one of the most original poems in the English language, and the evidence of an impulse utterly new in the American version of English. Its greatness comes from an idea of the self that is energetic, variable in its moods, and endlessly accessible to experience. The language of the poem—from declaration to catalogue to prayer—strives to afford a correlative to such personal qualities. The proof of its success comes with…
Scholarly Truth and the Hunger for Progress
Public trust in the academy has been waning for more than a generation now, and in that time, the public support of academic scholarship has been under an almost constant threat of drastic cuts. As accountability has been bureaucratized inside the university itself, scholarship has also come under the suspicious eye of cost-benefit accounting performed by external agencies. This narrow version of accountability may press so far against autonomy t…
The Social Contract and The First and Second Discourses
Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s ideas about society, culture, and government are pivotal in the history of political thought. His works are as controversial as they are relevant today. This volume brings together three of Rousseau’s most important political writings The Social Contract and The First Discourse (Discourse on the Sciences and Arts) and The Second Discourse (Discourse on the Origin and Foundations of Inequality) and presents essays by major …
Recent precipitation trends, flash floods and landslides in southern Brazil
In order to understand the rising number of flash floods and landslides in the densely populated region of southeastern Brazil, this study analyzes the spatial and temporal changes in precipitation from 1978 to 2014. We focus on the sensitivity of mountainous regions, specifically the Rio de Janeiro (RJMR) and Santa Catarina (SCMR) regions. Daily rainfall observations are aggregated into annual and seasonal indexes, and RClimdex is used to evalua…

David Bromwich explores the importance of imagination and sympathy to suggest how these faculties may illuminate the motives of human action and the reality of justice. These wide-ranging essays address thinkers and topics from Gandhi and Martin Luther King on nonviolent resistance, to the dangers o…

Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature
Richard Rorty's landmark book, Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature, argues that the prevailing conception of philosophy in the West is based on a flawed Cartesian model. Rorty challenges the idea that knowledge is primarily representational, mirroring an external reality. He traces this view from the Greeks through Descartes and Kant, demonstrating how it has shaped philosophical discourse and led to unproductive debates about foundationalism and…

Disinterested Imagining and Impersonal Feeling
The utilitarian reduction of moral philosophy which divided all motives into the self-regarding and the other-regarding was put forward and elaborated in the writings of Mandeville, Hume, and Adam Smith. Reservations, it is true, about these principles of action may be found even among the writers who first propounded them. Hume said that the two sorts of motive permeate each other, and Smith believed that an impartial umpire, ‘the man in the bre…

Hazlitt
Essayist, lecturer, and radical pamphleteer, William Hazlitt (1778-1830) was the greatest of English critics and a master of the art of prose. This book is a superb appreciation of the man and his works, at once a revaluation of the aesthetics of Romanticism and a sustained intellectual portrait. Nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award in criticism when it was first published in 1983, it is now reissued with a new preface and bibliog…

Reflections on the Word Genius
T HIS ESSAY will try to say what can still be said for the idea of genius, but to do that one needs to define the word carefully, since from long disuse its outlines have grown indistinct. My procedure will be simple. I begin by illustrating two different emphases the word was made to bear in eighteenth-century discussions of art and knowledge-or, as it was then called, science. Following the broader of these emphases into the nineteenth century,…
