Taking Sustainable Cities Seriously: Economic Development, the Environment, a…
Today at least twenty-five major U.S. cities have pursued some form of sustainability initiative.

Throughout history, many have recognized that truth may well lie in between such polar opposites. In The Complementary Nature, Scott …

"A Bradford book."Since the late 1970s, the orthodox view of complex 'that' phrases (e.g., 'that woman eating a granola bar') has been that they are contextually sensitive devices of direct reference. In Complex Demonstratives, Jeffrey King challenges that orthodoxy, showing that quantificational accounts not only are as effective as direct reference accounts but also handle a wider range of da…

Complex Worlds from Simpler Nervous Systems
"A Bradford book."The authors of Complex Worlds from Simpler Nervous Systems explain how animals with small, often minuscule, nervous systems--jumping spiders, bees, praying mantids, toads, and others--are not the simple "reflex machines" they were once thought to be. Because these animals live in the same world as do much larger species, they must meet the same environmental challenges. They d…
