RUPPEL, A., Absolute Constructions in Early Indo-European: Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2012. 269p. Hardback. Series: Cambridge Classical Studies. In the past, discussions of absolute constructions (ACs) have been limited by an imprecise understanding of what ACs are. By examining the nature and function of ACs and related constructions in Greek, Latin and Sanskrit, this new study arrives at a clear and simple definition of ACs. Focussing on the earliest attested material in each language, it highlights how AC usage differs between languages and offers explanations for these differences. Identifying the common core shared by all ACs, it suggests a starting-point and way by which they developed into Greek, Latin and Sanskrit. Further historical study reveals how ACs have been conceived of by grammarians, philologists and even Christian missionaries over the last two thousand years and how enduring misconceptions still affect our discussion of them today. All Sanskrit material is annotated in detail, making it accessible for classicists in particular and allowing a better understanding of ACs in Greek and Latin.

RUSE, M. and RICHARDS, R. J., The Cambridge Companion to the 'Origin of Species': Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2009. 424p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Companions to Philosophy. The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin is universally recognised as one of the most important science books ever written. The Origin of Species is also a work of great cultural and religious significance, in that Darwin maintained that all organisms, including humans, are part of a natural process of growth from simple forms. This Companion commemorates the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Origin of Species and examines its main arguments. Drawing on the expertise of leading authorities in the field, it also provides the contexts - religious, social, political, literary, and philosophical - in which the Origin was composed. Written in a clear and friendly yet authoritative manner, this volume will be essential reading for both scholars and students. More broadly, it will appeal to general readers who want to learn more about one of the most important and controversial books of modern times. (Publisher's information). € 36.40 (New) (MD)

RUSE, M., Darwinism as Religion. What Literature Tells Us about Evolution. Oxford University Press, 2016. 328p. Hardback. [T]he point of Ruse's book is not to analyze the details of the arguments for and against Darwinism as a religion. Rather, Ruse seeks simply to demonstrate the existence of such a religious perspective, and to show that its influence can be fruitfully studied by analyzing literature. In this task Ruse succeeds, and his book will surely inspire further research into the topic. Erkki Vesa Rope Kojonen, Reading Religion |a 21/01/2019 (Publisher's information). € 55.02 (New) (MD)
