The Parva naturalia in Greek, Arabic and Latin Aristotelianism
This book investigates Aristotelian psychology through his works and commentaries on them, including De Sensu, De Memoria and De Somno et Vigilia. Authors present original research papers inviting readers to consider the provenance of Aristotelian ideas and interpretations of them, on topics ranging from reality to dreams and spirituality. Aristotle’s doctrine of the ‘common sense’, his notion of transparency and the generation of colours are amongst the themes explored. Chapters are presented chronologically, enabling the reader to trace influences across the boundaries of linguistic traditions. Commentaries from historical figures featured in this work include those of Michael of Eph...
Women in Bone Research
To celebrate International Women's Day, we are delighted to present the inaugural ‘Women in Bone Research’ series of article collections. At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. Therefore, Frontiers in Endocrinology is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of Bone Research. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with particular preference given to studies focusing on female biology or applications for women. Please note: to be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as a woman.

The Oxford Handbook of Functional Brain Imaging in Neuropsychology and Cognitive Neurosciences
A large part of the contemporary cognitive neuroscience literature involves functional neuroimaging, yet few readers are sufficiently familiar with it to appraise that literature correctly. The purpose of this Handbook is to enable them to understand the neuroimaging methods and evaluate their present contributions and future promise in the fields of cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. The chapters contain very accessible descriptions of the various methods and an objective account of their clinical and research applications.

Bibliophilos
The present volume is a Festschrift in honour of the distinguished Byzantinist Costas N. Constantinides. The title of the volume, Bibliophilos: Books and Learning in the Byzantine World, reflects Professor Constantinides’ major contribution to the fields of Greek palaeography, editions of Byzantine texts, Byzantine history, scholarship and education, and Cypriot manuscripts and culture. The volume is introduced by a preface and a tabula gratulatoria dedicated to the honorand, followed by twenty articles, written by seasoned and younger scholars, who are former colleagues and students of Professor Constantinides. These articles, which appear in alphabetical order, offer new material and she...
The Ottoman and Mughal Empires
For many years, Ottomanist historians have been accustomed to study the Ottoman Empire and/or its constituent regions as entities insulated from the outside world, except when it came to 'campaigns and conquests' on the one hand, and 'incorporation into the European-dominated world economy' on the other. However, now many scholars have come to accept that the Ottoman Empire was one of the - not very numerous - long-lived 'world empires' that have emerged in history. This comparative social history compares the Ottoman to another of the great world empires, that of the Mughals in the Indian subcontinent, exploring source criticism, diversities in the linguistic and religious fields as political problems, and the fates of ordinary subjects including merchants, artisans, women and slaves.
