A psychological biography of Charles Dodgson, aka Lewis Carroll. It identifies the rage which lies buried in his children's books, including the famous "Alice" works, and the origins of that rage. Identifies where Dodgson coyly revealed the presence of this hidden material, and presents numerous examples to prove that they are not accidental.

Wizard:
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Seifer, Marc J., PUBLISHER: Citadel Press, Nikola Tesla (), credited by many as the inspiration for radio, robots, and even radar, has been called the patron saint of modern electricity. Yet very few people know about his life and work. Based on original source materials and previously unavailable documents, Wizard is the definitive biography of this founding father of modern technology. For the first time, Wizard reveals the details of Tesla's struggles with competing contemporary inventors such as Edison, Steinmetz, and Marconi and with financial giants like J. R Morgan and John Jacob Astor, who underwrite his work. An immaculately groomed figure, Tesla once lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York and dined at the finest restaurants. Tesla's genius was challenged, however, when his peers vilified his attempts to contact other planets. In the last years of his life, unable to secure financing for his newest inventions, he lived in semipoverty in a fourth-rate hotel. Wizard brings to the fore the intriguing life of this legendary innovator.

A Memoir of Jane Austen: And Other Family Recollections
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Austen-Leigh, James Edward / Sutherland, Kathryn, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, James Edward Austen-Leigh's Memoir of his aunt Jane Austen was published in , over fifty years after her death. Together with the shorter recollections of James Edward's two sisters, Anna Lefroy and Caroline Austen, the Memoir remains the prime authority for her life and continues to inform all subsequent accounts. These are family memories, the record of Jane Austen's life shaped and limited by the loyalties, reserve, and affection of nieces and nephews recovering in old age the outlines of the young aunt they had each known. They still remembered the shape of her bonnet and the tone of her voice, and their first-hand accounts bring her vividly before us. Their declared partiality also raises fascinating issues concerning biographical truth, and the terms in which all biography functions. This edition brings together for the first time these three memoirs, and also includes Jane's brother Henry Austen's "Biographical Notice" of and his less known "Memoir" of .

Sir Francis Drake
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Larkin, Tanya, PUBLISHER: PowerKids Press, This exciting, richly illustrated series examines the lives of famous European explorers during the Age of Exploration, a time in which European countries sent explorers racing around the globe in attempts to gain land and riches. Using geography, history, and biography, these books detail the routes that these explorers followed, the navigational equipment that they used, and the challenges that they faced, to create compelling documents of adventure and discovery. Students will come away from these books with a greater understanding of the individual lives of these explorers, the ways in which history and geography affect one another, and the difficult issues involved when one country claims a land that is already occupied by an indigenous population. This book mixes pirates, riches, and adventure with issues of slavery and the tumultuous politics of Elizabethan England to create a book that is as informative as it is colorful. Students will love reading about the explorer who began life as the son of a poor Devon farmer and became the first person to sail around the world.

Since his death, Bonhoeffer has grown to be one of the most fascinating, complex figures of the 20th century.

Exemplarity and Mediocrity: The Art of the Average from
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fleming, Paul, Jr., PUBLISHER: Stanford University Press, Following Hegel's analysis of art's increasing difficulty to both engage and extricate itself from prosaic reality, Paul Fleming investigates the strategies employed by German literature from to for increasingly attuning itself to quotidian life--common heroes, everyday life, non-extraordinary events--while also avoiding all notions of mediocrity. He focuses on three sites of this tension: the average audience (Lessing), the average artist (Goethe and Schiller), and the everyday, or average life (Grillparzer and Stifter). The book's title, "Exemplarity and Mediocrity," describes both a disjunctive and a conjunctive relation. Read disjunctively, modern art must display the "exemplary originality" (Kant) that only genius can provide and is thus fundamentally opposed to mediocrity as that which does not stand out or lacks distinctiveness; in the conjunctive sense, modern art turns to non-exceptional life in order to transform it--without forsaking its commonness--thereby producing exemplary forms of mediocrity that both represent the non-exceptional and, insofar as they stand outside the group they represent, are something other than mediocre.

Herbert Marcuse "L'autorità e la famiglia" Einaudi
Caratteristiche Numero di pagine 133 Editore Einaudi Numerazione di collana 39 Dimensioni sextodecimo edition (da 15 a 20 cm) Disponibilità fuori catalogo Nuovo, mai aperto. Questo testo è il contributo principale fornito da Herbert Marcuse alle ricerche su autorità e famiglia svolte dall'Institut für Sozialforschung di Francoforte. Compito specifico di Marcuse era la ricostruzione del rapporto di autorità e famiglia nella storia delle idee con particolare attenzione al contesto culturale tedesco (Lutero e Calvino, Kant, Hegel e Marx e la crisi del concetto di autorità borghese in Sorel e Pareto). Un'analisi particolarmente efficace delle contraddizioni strutturali della modernità capitalistica in cui il concetto di autorità è ambiguo (diviso tra libertà pratica o interiore dell'individuo e illibertà sociale). Nel rapporto autoritario la libertà e l'illibertà, l'autonomia e l'eteronomia sono quindi simultaneamente presenti, e sono congiunte nell'unica persona dell'oggetto dell'autorità. A partire dalla Riforma l'individuo è diventato una persona insieme libera (nell'interiorità cristiana) e non libera (in quanto membro del mondo esterno, quello della "concupiscenza").

Leonard Bernstein: The Political Life of an American
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Seldes, Barry, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, From his dazzling conducting debut in until his death in , Leonard Bernstein's star blazed brilliantly. In this fresh and revealing biography of Bernstein's political life, Barry Seldes examines Bernstein's career against the backdrop of cold war America--blacklisting by the State Department in , voluntary exile from the New York Philharmonic in for fear that he might be blacklisted, signing a humiliating affidavit to regain his passport--and the factors that by the mid-s allowed his triumphant return to the New York Philharmonic. Seldes for the first time links Bernstein's great concert-hall and musical-theatrical achievements and his real and perceived artistic setbacks to his involvement with progressive political causes. Making extensive use of previously untapped FBI files as well as overlooked materials in the Library of Congress's Bernstein archive, Seldes illuminates the ways in which Bernstein's career intersected with the twentieth century's most momentous events. This broadly accessible and impressively documented account of the celebrity-maestro's life deepens our understanding of an entire era as it reveals important and often ignored intersections of American culture and political power.
Baudelaire in Chains: A Portrait of the Artist as a Drug
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hilton, Frank, PUBLISHER: Peter Owen Publishers, Charles Baudelaire was a pivotal link between Romanticism and Modernism and had a major influence on modern poetry, but few who have examined his life and work have fully understood the effect of opiate addiction on his personality, or the extent to which it damaged him. In this fascinating, comprehensive biography, Frank Hilton, lecturer at Central St. Martins College of Art and Design in England, contends that the drug is at the root of all of Baudelaire's problems, and in particular his chronic inability to apply himself to any prolonged creative work, which constantly tormented him. Unquestionably there is significantly more to Baudelaire than his opium addiction. But a proper awareness of what it did to the poet helps to illuminate those puzzling aspects of his life and behavior that were not previously understood. This work will give those who know little or nothing about the great poet a wide-ranging portrait of a suffering artist, and to those who are familiar with Baudelaire's life and work, it will present him in an unexpected light.
Warren G. Harding: The American Presidents Series
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dean, John W., PUBLISHER: Thorndike Press, President Nixon's former counsel illuminates another presidency marked by scandal Warren G. Harding may be best known as America's worst president. Scandals plagued him: the Teapot Dome affair, corruption in the Veterans Bureau and the Justice Department, and the posthumous revelation of an extramarital affair. Raised in Marion, Ohio, Harding took hold of the small town's newspaper and turned it into a success. Showing a talent for local politics, he rose quickly to the U.S. Senate. His presidential campaign slogan, "America's present need is not heroics but healing, not nostrums but normalcy," gave voice to a public exhausted by the intense politics following World War I. Once elected, he pushed for legislation limiting the number of immigrants; set high tariffs to relieve the farm crisis after the war; persuaded Congress to adopt unified federal budget creation; and reduced income taxes and the national debt, before dying unexpectedly in . In this wise and compelling biography, John W. Dean--no stranger to controversy himself--recovers the truths and explodes the myths surrounding our twenty-ninth president's tarnished legacy.
George Washington Carver and Science & Invention in America
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Harness, Cheryl, PUBLISHER: National Geographic Society, The multitalented hand of Cheryl Harness creates another winning combination of history, biography, and illustration: the inspiring story of a man who rose from slavery to worldwide fame as America's Plant Doctor. Follow the action as Confederate raiders kidnap young Carver--along with his mother and siblings--and sell them to Arkansas slaveholders. Here, whooping cough threatens George's life, yet the disease will be the key to his future. Unable to work in the fields, he spends his days studying plants. His desire for knowledge leads him to the rich farmlands of Iowa, where he becomes the first black student--and later the first black faculty member--at the state university. Carver pioneers hundreds of new uses for plants and revolutionizes American agriculture by teaching farmers the value of rotating cotton with nitrogen-rich crops. Cheryl Harness' lively narrative follows Carver's rise to international fame: our hero dines at the White House, works with Henry Ford, and testifies to Congress. The book's vivid illustrations are an invitation to step back in time and become an active participant in this compelling story.
William Worth Belknap: An American Disgrace
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cooper, Edward S., PUBLISHER: Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, This is the biography of a man willingly corrupted by the demands of Washington society and of two wives who demanded social prominence. By virtue of his excellent Civil War record, Belknap became President Grant's Secretary of War. The excesses of the Gilded Age were in full flower. Railroad barons, gold speculators, arms dealers, land speculators, and purveyors of goods for the army flocked to Washington seeking contracts and favors. Cabinet members vied with each other to provide the most lavish entertainments on their meager salaries. Some Cabinet officers were rich, Belknap was poor. Graft was rampant and Belknap found ways to have his share. Soon money was flowing into his coffers and his wives could dress in Parisian gowns, live in mansions, give receptions for people at a time, and each wife, in succession, would be named "queen" of Washington society by the newspapers. But a day of reckoning did come with his impeachment and resignation in disgrace. This is not just the story of one more grafter from the Gilded Age of the Grant administration. The effects of the Belknap scandal are still felt today.
The Queen of Whale Cay
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Summerscale, Kate, PUBLISHER: Viking Books, She was the fastest woman on water -- then she slipped from sight to pursue a fascinating, bizarre life as the "ruler" of a tropical island in the Bahamas When Marion "Joe" Carstairs died in at the age of ninety-three, she was largely forgotten. During the s she held the world record as the fastest female speedboat racer. But as journalist Kate Summerscale discovered, when researching an obituary for the Daily Telegraph, Carstairs was also a notorious cross-dresser who favored women and smoked cheroots. Supremely self-confident, she inherited a Standard Oil fortune and knew how to spend her money -- on fast boats and cars, female lovers, and a Caribbean island, Whale Cay, where she reigned over a colony of Bahamians. There, far from her bohemian past in London and Paris, she hosted a succession of girlfriends and celebrities, including Marlene Dietrich and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Through it all, she remained devoted to Lord Tod Wadley, a little doll who became her bosom companion. Already a bestseller in England, The Queen of Whale Cay is a marvelous portrait of one of the twentieth century's great eccentrics. "A biography that sparkles with enthusiastic research and empathetic writing". -- Sunday Times
A Short History of Distributive Justice
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fleischacker, Samuel, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, Distributive justice in its modern sense calls on the state to guarantee that everyone is supplied with a certain level of material means. Samuel Fleischacker argues that guaranteeing aid to the poor is a modern idea, developed only in the last two centuries. Earlier notions of justice, including Aristotle's, were concerned with the distribution of political office, not of property. It was only in the eighteenth century, in the work of philosophers such as Adam Smith and Immanuel Kant, that justice began to be applied to the problem of poverty. To attribute a longer pedigree to distributive justice is to fail to distinguish between justice and charity. Fleischacker explains how confusing these principles has created misconceptions about the historical development of the welfare state. Socialists, for instance, often claim that modern economics obliterated ancient ideals of equality and social justice. Free-market promoters agree but applaud the apparent triumph of skepticism and social-scientific rigor. Both interpretations overlook the gradual changes in thinking that yielded our current assumption that justice calls for everyone, if possible, to be lifted out of poverty. By examining major writings in ancient, medieval, and modern political philosophy, Fleischacker shows how we arrived at the contemporary meaning of distributive justice.

Autore: Giuseppe Rensi Editore: Edizioni immanenza Collana: Philosophes, 4 Pagine: 220 Anno: ISBN: Introduzione e cura di Roberto Evangelista. Edizione che comprende le versione dell'opera Spinoza del e del . "La spiegazione delle cose, il loro perché o motivo, è semplicemente il loro essere. Non c'è un dover essere che fronteggi e domini l'essere; ma il dover essere si risolve interamente nell'essere, nell'essere delle cose come sono. Dire che l'universo è razionale significa dedurlo dalla ragione, o mostrarlo conforme a questa. Per Spinoza, esso non si può chiamare assurdo (questa è una valutazione umana) ma nemmeno razionale (anche questa lo è). Esso è interamente al di là di tali categorie. È semplicemente. La dottrina di Spinoza costituisce dunque uno sforzo potente per assoggettare la ragione alle cose, all'Essere com'è, anziché assoggettare o far dipendere le cose dalla ragione o spirito: proprio il contrario di Kant e dell'idealismo. Non vi è una ragione sopra le cose, le cose non sorgono da una ragione, ma da una cieca Sostanza senza intelletto, né volontà, né fini; questa negazione della teleologia è radicale negazione del deismo e insieme del razionalismo." L'edizione di Spinoza che presentiamo comprende entrambe le versioni, quella del e del .
