Focusing on key metaphors in modern political philosophy, the book delves into the state of nature and the social contract, dedicating each chapter to various social contract theorists and their interpretations of liberal equality and freedom. The final chapter addresses contemporary challenges to these established views, offering a critical perspective that balances traditional contractarian ideas with modern critiques. This unique approach positions the book as a significant contribution to the discourse in political philosophy.

This volume honours the academic achievements and scholarship of Professor Florence Myles as a world-leading scholar in the fields of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and French Linguistics, in particular for her work in corpus-based SLA and language policy in primary school education. In addition to reviews of the field (e.g., primary languages policy in the UK), the volume presents new research studies reflective of key theoretical and methodological issues in current SLA research, including theory-building, corpus-based investigations, studies of language development, as well as informing teacher professional development through research. Taken together, this edited book provides a wide-ranging and balanced account of Myles’s work and speaks to her influence on SLA research and primary languages policy. We invite readers to learn more about the fascinating research presented here as inspired by Florence’s dedication to field.

This book examines allegories and metaphors that best exemplify each thinker's ideologies. The author's approach allows readers to gain a greater understanding of each thinker's ideas through the lens of metaphor and this stimulates imaginative discussions and more thoughtful reflections.

This unique book offers a vendor-neutral approach for designing large local area networks according to business or organizational needs, rather than from a product perspective. Author Dooley outlines "top-down network design" for building a technological infrastructure to fit an organization's requirements, a process more effective than fitting the organization to the parameters of a shrink-wrapped proprietary solution.
