In Downton Abbey and Philosophy, twenty-two professional thinkers uncover the deeper significance of this hugely popular TV saga. Millions of viewers throughout the world have been enthralled by this enactment of a vanished world of decorum and propriety, because it presents us with emotional and interpersonal problems that remain urgent for people in the twenty-first century. Why do we attach such importance to our memories and to particular places? What do war and epidemics tell us about life in peacetime and in good health? Is it healthy or harmful for people to feel that they know their place? What does Downton Abbey teach us about the changes in women's roles since 1912? Do good manners always agree with good morals? How can everybody know what no one will talk about? What's the justification for a class of people who pride themselves on not having a job? Should we sometimes just accept the reality of social barriers to love, and abandon the pursuit? What happens when com...

The lack of regional official statistics in general and regional Input-Output Tables in particular for Ireland has been long noted and lamented. This paucity of regional data has retarded the capacity to construct sound regional economic models or formulate and asses evidence-informed policies at sub-national level. This book argues that this long standing gap can be addressed. Using a variety of data sources already available, the first set of fully integrated, symmetric, Supply & Use and domestic Input-Output Tables for the NUTS 2 regions of Ireland are compiled. These tables are general purpose in nature and are fully consistent with the official national Input-Output Tables and regional accounts. These tables are used to present a descriptive statistical analysis of the administrative NUTS 2 regions in Ireland, drawing particular attention to the underlying structural differences in regional trade balances and composition of Gross Value Added in those regions. ...

'Fear no more the heat of the sun.' Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf's fourth novel, offers the reader an impression of a single June day in London in 1923. Clarissa Dalloway, the wife of a Conservative member of parliament, is preparing to give an evening party, while the shell-shocked Septimus Warren Smith hears the birds in Regent's Park chattering in Greek. There seems to be nothing, except perhaps London, to link Clarissa and Septimus. She is middle-aged and prosperous, with a sheltered happy life behind her; Smith is young, poor, and driven to hatred of himself and the whole human race. Yet both share a terror of existence, and sense the pull of death. The world of Mrs Dalloway is evoked in Woolf's famous stream of consciousness style, in a lyrical and haunting language which has made this, from its publication in 1925, one of her most popular novels. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of lit...
