This is a historical account of three pivotal, 20th century Fairhaven boat builders, Major J. Casey, William H. Hand Jr. and Palmer Scott. Their work influenced the fourth protagonist in this story, the famous C. Raymond Hunt who was the designer and moving force behind many famous, revolutionary yacht designs such as the Concordia yawl, Boston Whaler, and the Bertram Moppie. Major Casey was a rough old "meat and potatoes" builder who manufactured a plethora of fast sailing vessels, rum-runners and more than 100 military rescue boats during World War Two. William Hand invented the V-hull power boat in 1909 and perfected the motorsailer yacht. He was an avid swordfisherman which was a powerful motivation in his designs. Palmer Scott was a pioneer in the use of marine plywood and fiberglass for building boats. What they all had in common was boats and they tapped into the two centuries of boatbuilding skill and expertise accumulated by the workmen in Fairhaven which was the catalyst that propelled their good fortune.

Offers a comparative analysis of the processes and aftermath of decolonisation from philosophical, historical, literary and legal perspectives.

"Multidisciplinary scholars showcase their search for decolonial strategies from within their disciplinary focus, covering ideas such as the different layers at which colonialism operates, strategies for a decolonisation that does not recolonise, and the importance of preserving and publishing in indigenous languages. Decolonisation explores questions of justice, injustice and inhumanity that have geographically and intellectually shaped the course of history through overlapping colonial, decolonial and postcolonial eras. This multidisciplinary collection uses the lenses of history, philosophy, literature and education to examine aspects of colonialism and decolonisation, and their revolutionary and evolutionary manifestations which, contributors argue, occurred simultaneously in the historical and epistemological record. The problems that come into focus have a kaleidoscopic effect on how we come to understand fraught issues, from the 'invention' of blacks to the formulation of the ideology of trusteeship and the obligations to 'lower civilisations'. Decolonisation brings together an internationally renowned group of scholars to showcase their search for decolonial strategies within their disciplinary focus, covering ideas such as the different layers at which colonialism operates, strategies for a decolonisation that does not recolonise, and the importance of preserving and publishing in indigenous languages. This is a much-needed book for students and scholars in the field of decolonisation, history, philosophy and pedagogy. The introductory -- offers a clear and concise primer to this complex subject, covering colonialism, imperialism, decoloniality, and the various actors involved."--Publisher's description.

This is the first comprehensive study of the political philosophy of the British philosopher R. G. Collingwood. Professor Boucher argues for the importance of this political theory and provides a perspicuous account of its development and originality. He contends that The New Leviathan is an attempt to reconcile philosophy and history, theory and practice.

The methodology of the study of the history of political thought is an area of study which has occupied my interests for nearly a decade.
