Collected here in a single volume for the first time are John Stuart Mill's On Liberty, Utilitarianism, Considerations on Representative Government, and The Subjection of Women. These essays show Mill applying his liberal utilitarian philosophy to a range of issues that remain vital today--the nature of ethics, the scope and limits of individual liberty, the merits of and costs of democratic government, and the place of women in society. In his Introduction John Gray describes these essays as applications of Mill's doctrine of the Art of Life, as set out in A System of Logic. Using the resources of recent scholarship, he shows Mill's work to be far richer and subtler than traditional interpretations allow.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.

Dragged from Earth through a tunnel of leaves, 17-year-old Zee finds himself in a surreal and frightening world where everything is black-and-white. His girlfriend is held hostage and Zee is told if he wants to see her again, he must lead a quest to release the hidden colours of Aggracore. To succeed Zee has to complete eleven tasks in eleven different lands. In each land, he will find one of his mates to help. But from the moment the quest begins, time is running out. With over 50 bizarre lands to cross - where nothing is as black-and-white as it seems - Zee and his friends plunge headlong into danger. Their journey is complicated by love, death and a turmoil of emotions. Ever-present are the predatory and sinister Gnomonites - they don't capture prisoners, they convert them - and the last thing they want is for the colours to be returned to Aggracore.
