Joys of the Cottage : Labourers’ Houses, Hovels and Huts in Britain and the British Colonies, 1770-1830
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2011)What uses, meanings and rituals did plebeian occupants create around their dwellings and gardens? The following discussion offers some tentative answers to such questions. Labouring and elite interests were not congruent. ... -
Kierkegaard's Mirrors : Interest, Self and Moral Vision
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2010)Beginning with the structural account of consciousness offered in Johannes Climacus, this book develops a new phenomenological interpretation of what Kierkegaard calls 'interest': a self-reflexive mode of thought, vision ... -
Duties to the Dead? : Earnest Imagination and Remembrance
(Indiana University Press, 2011-09-29) -
Cora Diamond and the Ethical Imagination
(2012-07-05)In much of her writing, Cora Diamond stresses the role of the imagination in awakening the sense of our humanity. She subtly unthreads the operations of the ethical imagination in literature, but deplores its absence in ... -
What's Missing in Episodic Self-Experience? : A Kierkegaardian Response to Galen Strawson
(2010)Galen Strawson has articulated a spectrum of 'temporal temperaments' populated at one end by 'Diachronics,' who experience their selves (understood as a 'present mental entity') as persisting across time, and at the other ... -
Is narrative identity four-dimensionalist?
(2012)The claim that selves are narratively constituted has attained considerable currency in both analytic and continental philosophy. However, a set of increasingly standard objections to narrative identity are also emerging. ... -
Fearful asymmetry : Kierkegaard’s search for the direction of time
(2010)The ancient problem of whether our asymmetrical attitudes towards time are justified (or normatively required) remains a live one in contemporary philosophy. Drawing on themes in the work of McTaggart, Parfit, and Heidegger, ... -
The Philosophy of Information

The informational nature of personal identity
(2011)In this paper, I present an informational approach to the nature of personal identity. In "Plato and the problem of the chariot", I use Plato's famous metaphor of the chariot to introduce a specific problem regarding the ... -
A defence of constructionism : philosophy as conceptual engineering
(2011)This article offers an account and defence of constructionism, both as a metaphilosophical approach and as a philosophical methodology, with references to the so-called maker's knowledge tradition. Its main thesis is that ... -
Fictional Branching Time?
(Springer Nature Link, 2013)Some fictions seem to involve branching time, where one time-series ‘splits’ into two, or two time-series ‘fuse’ into one. We provide a new framework for thinking about these fictional representations: not as representations ... -

Stellar x-ray sources in the chandra cosmos survey
(2010-12-10)We present an analysis of the X-ray properties of a sample of solar- and late-type field stars identified in the Chandra Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS), a deep (160 ks) and wide (∼0.9 deg ) extragalactic survey. The ... -
Herschel-ATLAS : Multi-wavelength SEDs and physical properties of 250 μm selected galaxies at z <0.5
(2012-11-21)We present a pan-chromatic analysis of an unprecedented sample of 1402 250 μm selected galaxies at z < 0.5 (z-=0.24) from the Herschel-ATLAS survey. We complement our Herschel 100-500μm data with UV-K-band photometry from ... -
An efficient method-of-lines simulation procedure for organic semiconductor devices.
(2009-03-01)We describe an adaptive grid method-of-lines (MOL) solution procedure for modelling charge transport and recombination in organic semiconductor devices. The procedure we describe offers an efficient, robust and versatile ... -
Simulations of Cosmic Chemical Enrichment
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2008)We simulate cosmic chemical enrichment with a hydrodynamical Model including supernova and hypernova feedback. We find that the majority of stars in present-day massive, galaxies formed in much Smaller galaxies at high ... -
The Ability of the Small Ice Detector (SID-2) to Characterize Cloud Particle and Aerosol Morphologies Obtained during Flights of the FAAM BAe-146 Research Aircraft
(2010)The Small Ice Detector mark 2 (SID-2), which was built by the University of Hertfordshire, has been operated by the Met Office on the Facility for Atmospheric Airborne Research (FAAM) BAe-146 aircraft during a large number ... -
The efficiency of grain alignment in dense interstellar clouds: : a reassessment of constraints from near-infrared polarization
(2008)We present spectropolarimetry of the solid CO feature at 4.67 μm along the line of sight to Elias 16, a field star background to the Taurus dark cloud. A clear increase in polarization is observed across the feature with ... -
How do Clinical Psychologists Make Sense of their Early Attachments and their Work with Older Adults?
(2013-01-07)Background: attachment theory provides an account of human behaviour across the lifespan, has a strong theoretical foundation and is clinical applicable. It is particularly relevant to older adults, who are often exposed ...
