The present volume is a translation and commentary of books 21–40 of Diodoros’ Bibliotheke Historike, the first English version of these books in over half a century. The text used is that of the Budé edition of Paul Goukowsky with some adjustments from the Loeb of Francis Walton and the present author. The ordering and numbering of fragments generally follows that of the Budé text.

Humanity’s impact on the planet is undeniable. Fairly and effectively addressing environmental problems begins with understanding their causes and impacts. Is over-population the main driver of environmental degradation? Poverty? Capitalism? Poor governance? Imperialism? Patriarchy? Clearly these are not technical questions, but political ones.

Updated to cover new debates, data, and policy, and expanded to include chapters on colonialism, race and gender, and the impacts of energy and resource extraction, this book introduces students to diverse perspectives and helps them develop an informed understanding of why environmental problems occur.

How the international community should act is deeply contested. Guiding students through the potential responses, including multilateral diplomacy, transnational voluntary action, innovative financial mechanisms, problem displacement, consumer-focused campaigns, and resistance, this book explains the different forms of political action, their limitations and injustices.

Online resources include lecture slides, a test bank for instructors, updated weblinks to videos, and suggested readings for students.

The chapter will help you to be able to describe the development of remote delivery CBT, both by phone, videoconferencing, and text-based systems, explain the costs and benefits of the various remote formats to both the provider and client, and help your clients choose the most appropriate format for their therapy

The idea of figurative discourse plays a salient role in Ockham’s nominalism. He frequently reinterprets certain authoritative statements as mere figurative ways of speaking and this allows him to neutralize the apparent ontological commitments of these authoritative statements when they conflict with the parsimonious ontology that he favors. Section 13.1 of this chapter shows how the method works in practice by providing examples of such figurative interpretations. Sections 13.2 and 13.3 review the theoretical elements that are proposed in the Summa Logicae with respect to figurative speech. It discusses in particular Ockham’s approach to metaphor and his unexpected insistence on hypallage. Section 13.4, finally, examines Ockham’s distinction between the sense a sentence has in virtue of the language and the sense in which it is intended by the speaker. Ockham’s implicit conditions for figurative meaning as opposed to literal meaning are thus brought out.

The chapter will help you to be able to define Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, explain the key processes within CBT, describe the key features of good CBT as described in therapy rating scales such as the CTSr and CTRS, and consider how to best incorporate the key components of CBT in terms of structure, style and content

The Lusitanians at first did not have a worthy leader, and thus were easily defeated in the war with the Romans, but later, after they found Viriathus, they inflicted great damage on the Romans.1 He was one of the Lusitanians2 who lived near the Ocean and was a shepherd from childhood, accustomed to a life in the mountains. He was assisted by the nature of his body, since in his strength, quickness, and agility he was far superior to the rest of the Iberians. He was accustomed to little food and much exercise, and only as much sleep as was necessary. In general, by living under arms and always contending with wild beasts and brigands, he became famous among the people and was chosen to be their leader, and in a short period gathered a group of brigands around him.3

David Engstrom and Jess Lu (both Stanford Law) first show that an otherwise fast-growing and dynamic “legal tech” industry has not generated significant “direct-to-consumer” technologies designed to help self-represented litigants navigate a complex legal system. They then interrogate that puzzle: Why is it that better consumer legal tech hasn’t flourished? They ultimately settle on the idea that rule reforms alone may not stimulate high-scale, direct-to-consumer technology. Instead, other policy interventions may be necessary, including standardizing what is currently a checkerboard of court technology and data infrastructures. Perhaps more importantly, direct-to-consumer legal tech may have trouble overcoming some of the problems that are inherent to markets that are attempting to serve individuals with episodic attachment to the civil justice system and limited ability to pay. The result is an important meditation on whether reforms to UPL, Rule 5.4, or something else entirely are necessary to unlock the potential of potent new technologies in order to narrow the justice gap.

New field and laboratory methodologies increasingly allow scholars to collect direct data on pastoralism, including data on mobility, sociopolitical organization, and intensification/diversification of production. A discussion of each methodology – survey, excavation, zooarchaeology, archaeobotany, and geoarchaeology – assesses possibilities and limitations for an empirical and critical archaeology of pastoralism.

Building on the book’s assessment of the incentives of cities to protect the environment, the chapter outlines an agenda for cities to meet the challenges presented by climate change. The chapter starts by charting an agenda for cities to adapt to the impacts of planetary climate change, because cities have the greatest incentives and levers to address this aspect of the climate challenge. Then the chapter identifies plausible contributions that cities can make to societal decarbonization. The federal government has been, at best, an inconsistent partner in decarbonizing the economy. Climate regulation in major cities provides a means of ensuring that the societal decarbonization project continues to advance, regardless of who is in power federally. The chapter emphasizes the need for higher levels of government to better support municipal efforts to tackle climate change and suggests ways for lawmakers at higher levels of government, in particular the federal level, to do so if they are interested in environmental protection.
