Wheeling Matilda: The Story of Australian Cycling, sweeps across nearly 150 years of bicycle use in Australia. Set in a country which had the largest bicycle path network in the world in the 1890s and was the long distance cycling centre of the world for many years, this is an eye-opening history. Australia's soldiers were at the forefront of the Boer War, the first significant wartime use of the machine. During the international heyday of cycling, Australia held the richest bicycle race in the world, and is today a powerhouse of the racing scene. From Sydney to South Africa, from Melbourne to Madison Square Garden--and in places in between where you would never expect to even see a bicycle--Australians riders have been there.

Oxford Studies in Epistemology is a major new biennial volume offering a regular snapshot of state-of-the-art work in this important field. Under the guidance of a distinguished editorial board composed of leading philosophers in North America, Europe and Australasia, it will publish exemplary papers in epistemology, broadly construed. Topics within its purview include: *traditional epistemological questions concerning the nature of belief, justification, and knowledge, the status of scepticism, the nature of the a priori, etc; *new developments in epistemology, including movements such as naturalized epistemology, feminist epistemology, social epistemology, and virtue epistemology, and approaches such as contextualism; *foundational questions in decision-theory; *confirmation theory and other branches of philosophy of science that bear on traditional issues in epistemology; *topics in the philosophy of perception relevant to epistemology; *topics in cognitive science, computer science, developmental, cognitive, and social psychology that bear directly on traditional epistemological questions; and *work that examines connections between epistemology and other branches of philosophy, including work on testimony and the ethics of belief. Anyone wanting to understand the latest developments at the leading edge of the discipline can start here.
