The Question

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Asher, Jane, PUBLISHER: Charnwood, It all starts with a chance remark on the telephone, just a casual conversation, but it leads Eleanor Hamilton to an appalling and deeply disturbing discovery: John, her husband of twenty years, has been leading a double life -- a life of unbelievable duplicity. Feelings of jealousy, anger and confusion follow, driving Eleanor to extraordinary limits. Only one thing is clear: she wants revenge, for the mockery John has made of her existence and for the happiness that she has missed. Then fate intervenes in the shape of a terrible accident...

The Clock of the Centuries

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Robida, Albert / Stableford, Brian, PUBLISHER: Hollywood Comics, Of all the authors who followed in the footsteps of Jules Verne, the most important was Albert Robida (), a writer-artist who also became the founding father of science fiction illustration. Robida wrote and illustrated his own scientific anticipations, such as The Adventures of Saturnin Farandoul () and The Twentieth Century (). The Clock of the Centuries, originally published in , is notable as the first full-length literary account of time in reverse. In it, time starts running backwards, the dead come back to life and society is thrown into chaos. It is more ambitious and adventurous in its speculative range and verve than its modern-day successors, Philip K. Dick's Counter-Clock World and Brian W. Aldiss's Cryptozoic.This volume also includes Robida's novella Yesterday Now (), in which an scientist brings the Sun King Louis XIV and his court into the future for the Paris Universal Exposition.

The Spell of Language: Poststructuralism and Speculation

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pavel, Thomas G. / Jordan, Linda S., PUBLISHER: University of Chicago Press, Originally published as "Le Mirage linguistique," this book remains the definitive study of the role of linguistics in structuralism and poststructuralism. Thomas Pavel examines recent French thought through the work of luminaries such as Levi-Strauss, Lacan, Foucault, and Derrida. The "spell of language" for Pavel consists of three things: the promise that linguistics seemed to represent for the humanities and social sciences; the distortions, misunderstandings, and willful neglect incumbent upon the "linguistic turn"; and, above all, the break with traditional humanism. He isolates three modes of thought-moderate structuralism, scientific structuralism, and speculative structuralism-and shows how even as they diverge from each other, they all advocate an antihumanist point of view. In this spirited book, Pavel shows that structuralism's flawed use of linguistic theory has rendered hollow the philosophical core of a whole generation of work in the human sciences.

The Evolution Wars: A Guide to the Debates

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ruse, Michael / Wilson, Edward Osborne, PUBLISHER: ABC-CLIO, A thought-provoking series that chronicles the discussions, disputes, and debates that have divided scientists and advanced science through the ages. The origins of humanity? The causes of homosexuality? Experimentation on humans and animals? In both theory and practice, science is riven by controversy. Always has been, always will be. Controversies in Science reveals the history of humanity's disputatious pursuit of truth-the passions, the polemics, and the partisanship. ABC-CLIO's Controversies in Science series examines some of the greatest debates in the history of science's quest for truth. Edited by top scientists, philosophers, and historians, the titles explore fields as diverse as cosmology, genetics, evolution, psychiatry, and the fascinating and speculative study of extraterrestrial biology. Who are we? Where do we come from? And what limits should we place on the pursuit of answers to these questions? The truth is out there. But what routes have we taken? What routes should we take? Controversies in Science offers a road map.

Up Above the World

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bowles, Paul, PUBLISHER: Harper Perennial, On the terrace of an eloborate hilltop apartment overlooking a Central American capital, four people sit making polite conversation. The American couple -- an elderly physician and his young wife -- are tourists. Their host, whom they have just met, is a young man of striking good looks and charm. The girl, who is his mistress, is very young and very beautiful. Sitting there, with drinks in their hands, watching the sunset, the Slades seem to be experiencing the sort of fortunate chance encounter that travelers cherish. But amidst the civilities and small talk, one remark proves prophetic. The host says to the American woman: "It's not exactly what you think." Masterfully -- with the poetic control that has always characterized his work -- Paul Bowles leads the reader beneath the surface of hospitality and luxury into a tortuous maze of human relationships and shifting moods, until what seems at first a merely casual encounter is seen to be one rooted in viciousness and horror.

Canada Moves West

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Berton, Pierre / Slade, Arthur G. / Slade, Arthur, PUBLISHER: Fitzhenry & Whiteside, Pierre Berton's "Canada Moves West" is a rousing collection of five young-adult non-fiction books by revered author Pierre Berton that describes how, back in the days of the pioneers, the Canadian west was won, with blood, sweat, tears, and sheer determination. Originally printed as separate volumes in the "Adventures in Canadian History" series, the titles in this omnibus include: "The Railway Pathfinders; The Men in Sheepskin Coats; A Prairie Nightmare; Steel Across the Plains"; and "Steel Across the Shield." Although the books read like novels, with exciting story lines and vivid characters, there is archival evidence for every story and, indeed, very remark made on their pages' nothing has been made up. Berton's ability to infuse history and its characters with the excitement, personality, and immediacy of contemporary events appeals strongly to young readers. The reading level is appropriate for Grade 5 and up, but the interest level carries well into adult reading.

The Corporeal Image: Film, Ethnography, and the Senses

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: MacDougall, David, PUBLISHER: Princeton University Press, In this book, David MacDougall, one of the leading ethnographic filmmakers and film scholars of his generation, builds upon the ideas from his widely praised "Transcultural Cinema" and argues for a new conception of how visual images create human knowledge in a world in which the value of seeing has often been eclipsed by words. In ten chapters, MacDougall explores the relations between photographic images and the human body-the body of the viewer and the body behind the camera as well as the body as seen in ethnography, cinema, and photography. In a landmark piece, he discusses the need for a new field of social aesthetics, further elaborated in his reflections on filming at an elite boys' school in northern India. The theme of the school is taken up as well in his discussion of fiction and nonfiction films of childhood. The book's final section presents a radical view of the history of visual anthropology as a maverick anthropological practice that was always at odds with the anthropology of words. In place of the conventional wisdom, he proposes a new set of principles for visual anthropology. These are essays in the classical sense--speculative, judicious, lucidly written, and mercifully jargon-free. "The Corporeal Image" presents the latest ideas from one of our foremost thinkers on the role of vision and visual representation in contemporary social thought.
