Jimi Hendrix is still widely revered as one of the most gifted guitarists in the history of rock. His fluency on an electric guitar was breathtaking, and he had a way with words that somehow paralleled his music. Fortunately, Jimi gave many interviews during his short life and this text contains many quotes from some of them.

This book is the result of 25 years of research through press cuttings, books, magazines, interviews, concert and studio tapes and conversations with many people from all over the world, and it is published here for the first time in its entirety.

Focusing on the intrinsic role of mathematical learning in human activity, the book presents a novel social theory that transcends traditional psychology and sociology. It defines mathematics through collective discourse and emphasizes the student's active participation in evolving the field. By integrating psychoanalytic theory, it critiques conventional educational practices, advocating for a renewal of mathematics that responds to contemporary demands. This perspective highlights the importance of collaborative understanding in shaping the future of mathematics.

At his death in 2000, R S Thomas was widely considered to be one of the major poets of the English-speaking world, having been nominated for the Nobel prize for Literature. This title provides an introduction to Thomas' life and work, as well as fresh perspectives and insights for those already familiar with the poetry.

This work presents a groundbreaking genealogy of statelessness, challenging the notion that citizenship and its negation are solely European concepts. It posits that Europe first encountered mass statelessness outside its borders, in the New World, centuries before the twentieth century. Through an analysis of political philosophers such as Hobbes, Rousseau, and Kant, the author contends that statelessness emerged as a significant issue in political thought early on, influencing perspectives on the state and humanity. Europeans perceived the so-called “savages” of the Americas as living without political order, equating their statelessness with a lesser form of humanity. This view depicted the stateless as existing in a precarious, almost inhuman condition, lacking the achievements of those considered fully human. Yet, this existence also suggested that state-based life might not be the only or the ideal way to live. This unsettling idea spurred the development of Enlightenment political philosophy, which remains influential in contemporary discussions about statelessness, particularly regarding migrants and Indigenous peoples. The work ultimately reexamines the foundations of political thought and challenges prevailing narratives about citizenship and statelessness.
