"From the Wabash and Erie Canal to the Faultless Caster Factory, Evansville has seen much of its history disappear. In the early twentieth century, vestiges of old Evansville like the B'nai Israel temple and Coal Mine Hill gave way to a modern city. Numerous changes in the thrity years following World War II altered the physical appearance of the city, including the removal of the old Central High School, Assumption Cathedral, Gear Town and more. Less physical but nevertheless vital history like the struggle over civil rights in Evansville has been overlooked and, until now, lost. Weaving together a captivating, fast-paced account illustrated with more than eighty images, award-winning Evansville historian Dr. James MacLeod tells the fascinating story of what was lost, what came in its place and what was preserved against the odds."--Back cover.

This Companion offers a state-of-the-art survey of the work of John Stuart Mill -- one which covers the historical influences on Mill, his theoretical, moral and social philosophy, as well as his relation to contemporary movements. Its contributors include both senior scholars with established expertise in Mill's thought and new emerging interpreters. Each essay acts as a "go-to" resource for those seeking to understand an aspect of Mill's thought or to familiarise themselves with the contours of a debate within the scholarship. The Companion is a key reference on Mill's theory of liberty and utilitarianism, but also provides a valuable resource on lesser-known aspects of his work, including his epistemology, metaphysics, and philosophy of language. The volume is divided into six sections. Part I covers Mill's life, his immediate posthumous reputation, and his own telling of his life-story. Part II brings together an accessible and comprehensive summary of the various influences on Mill's thought. Part III offers an account of the foundations of Mill's philosophy and his thought on key philosophic topics. Parts IV and V tackle issues from Mill's moral and social philosophy. Part VI concludes with a treatment of the broader aspects of Mill's thought, tracing his relation to major movements in philosophy.
