Star Wars Archives. 1999–2005
From the moment Star Wars burst onto the screen in 1977, audiences have been in equal parts fascinated and appalled by the half-man/half-machine hybrid Darth Vader. In 1999, creator George Lucas began the story of how Anakin Skywalker grew up to train as a Jedi under Obi-Wan Kenobi, found love with the Queen of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, before turning to the dark side of his nature and becoming more machine than man. After driving the development of nascent digital technology, George Lucas perceived how he could create new creatures and new worlds on a grander scale than ever before. He created the first digital blockbuster, and met fierce resistance when he pushed for widespread digital cameras, sets, characters, and projection – all of which are now used throughout the industry. He essentially popularized the modern way of making movies. Made with the full cooperation of George Lucas and Lucasfilm, this second volume covers the making of the prequel trilogy — Episode I The Phantom Menace, Episode II Attack of the Clones, and Episode III Revenge of the Sith — and features exclusive interviews with Lucas and his collaborators. The book is profusely illustrated with script pages, production documents, concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, stills, and posters.

Present to the Mind
Present to the Mind offers a rigorous philosophical defense of acquaintance-a form of direct experiential awareness we have of things like sounds, tastes, pains, and perhaps also qualities such as beauty or goodness. Matt Duncan posits three central claims: (i) acquaintance exists, (ii) it constitutes a form of knowledge, and (iii) it plays a foundational role across multiple domains of human life.The book unfolds in three parts. First, Duncan clarifies the nature of acquaintance, distinguishing it from other epistemic relations and identifying several distinct types that are integral to everyday experience.Second, he defends the thesis that acquaintance is itself a kind of knowledge-non-propositional, yet knowledge nonetheless. Unlike inferential or descriptive knowledge, acquaintance provides immediate access to its object, grounding other forms of knowing. Third, Duncan explores the broader significance of acquaintance across four domains. Epistemically, it underpins empirical knowledge and justifies beliefs both directly and inferentially. Aesthetically, it is essential for appreciation and for acquiring aesthetic knowledge. Emotionally, acquaintance with one's own emotions is necessary for their epistemic and motivational force. Morally, acquaintance shapes and is shaped by moral character, as what one is acquainted with influences-and is influenced by-one's moral character.Ultimately, Present to the Mind presents acquaintance as an indispensable mode of access to the world-not only in knowing, but in feeling, valuing, and judging. Duncan's account challenges other views of knowledge and offers a compelling framework for understanding how we engage with the world in its most immediate and meaningful forms.

Mathematical Approach to Proportional Representation: Duncan Black on Lewis Carroll
`This is a book about a well-known writer, Lewis Carroll, and about a little-known subject, the theory of voting' (from the Editors' Introduction). This book has been edited from the manuscripts of the late Scottish economist Duncan Black. Shortly after the publication of The Theory of Committees and Elections Black started to collect material for papers and a book on Lewis Carroll's theory of proportional representation. Black's chapter plans made it clear that the book was to be in three parts, written by himself, followed by a reprint of Carroll's Principles of Parliamentary Representation and its main sources. Part I is biographical, introducing Lewis Carroll and giving relevant details of his life. Part II is Black's already published work on Lewis Carroll. Part III comprises the more detailed arguments about Carroll's reasoning, and Part IV contains reprints of rare original material on proportional representation by Carroll, James Garth Marshall, and Walter Baily. Taken together, the editors have provided a complete reference source for the theory of voting and proportional representation.

Imperial Cult in the Latin West, Volume 2 Studies in the Ruler Cult of the Western Provinces of the Roman Empire - Part 2.2
Open worship of the Roman Emperor with sacrifice, priests, altar and temple was in theory contrary to official policy in Rome. The cult of the living emperor by less direct means, however, might be achieved in various ways: the offering of cult to his companion genius or the divine numen immanent within him; the elevation of the Imperial house to a level at which it became godlike; the formal placing of the emperor on a par with the gods by making dedications to him ut deo; the conversion of divinities of every kind into Augustan gods that served as the Emperor's helper and protector; the creation of Augustan Blessings and Virtues that personified the qualities and benefactions of the emperor.Volume II, 2 completes the preliminary set of studies with a select bibliography, indexes and corrigenda to Vols. I, 1-2 and II, 1.
