Catalogue at: http://media. routledgeweb.com/catalogs/routledgeclassics_2010_us.pdf. … close examination shows that the cover illustrates a dark process of enchainment. Are these the mind-forged manacles of man? Or do they represent the freedom that will attend the reader once he has gone beyond them? (Ken Coates1 ) All 30 paperback covers are new for the series, with most not as enigmatic as zthat for What I Believez but suggestive of meaningful aspects of Russell’s texts. Still puzzling are the dominoes on The Philosophy of Logical Atomism. But let’s not judge editions by their covers. There is new text in some of them. It’s not new text by Russell, but new introductionsz—zby A.yC. Grayling (CHy), Anthony Gottlieb (HWP, but only in the hardcover edition), Alan Ryan (WIBzz), Thomas Gray (SEy), Simon Blackburn (WINCy), and Samuel Brittan (Py).2 The introductions are not bibliographical or textual-historical, but are generally worthy of their subjects. Previous introductions are retained. Titles that still lack introductions are OE, Philosophical Essays, Freedom and Organization and Education and the Social Order. Some titles are altered. The two volumes of Mortals and Others have been conveniently combined into one, with slight changes in subtitle. But PSRy has become Why Men Fight, the American title which Russell disliked.

The titles of PoMz and ABC of Relativityz are no longer deWnite denoting phrases. The Prospects of Industrial Civilizationz now denies title-page credit to its collaborator, Dora Russell. First publication dates are in error in several casesz—zby 35 years in the case of Prospects. The series employs a similar typographical page design. The text is set in Joanna, displayed quotations and running heads are in Gill Sans, and notes are usually, but inexplicably not always, still placed at the bottom of the page. Sometimes, especially in the large volumes, the text type is set small; indexes, however, are set generously. All of the titles can be purchased as e-books and thus are potentially searchable . It is a welcome development in the present day that many have still been provided with indexes. Some already had indexes but lost them over time in various paperback editions. Titles that were never before published with indexes are Fact and Fiction, Human Society in Ethics and Politics, Philosophical Essays, IPI, SE, BWz (a mammoth job), UEz and WIB. These indexes are new, although several of the titles had been professionally indexed in Russellz by Roma Hutchinson . These indexes do not cover all of Routledge’s investment in the series, for several other indexes are new (despite their existence in the Wrst editions), and still others appear to be revised versions of original indexes. This is not always a welcome intervention. The original index to PoMz was compiled by Russell himself, who bolded definition references. Still unindexed in the series are Mortals and Othersz (but Russell 29 (2009) provides one), Marriage and Moralsz and OEz (but their Wrst editions were indexed), AIz (but Russellz 19 (1999) has one), and Common Sense and Nuclear Warfare. All these indexes need to be collected and uniWed, just as those to the Collected Papers have been in the Russell Research Centre, to enhance access for Russell studies. For scholars the main question will be: are the texts reliable? Original paginations are not preserved, so all of scholarship’s previous references have to be approximated . HWPzz’s new...

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
