Sidney Hook on Pragmatism, Democracy, and Freedom - Sidney Hook - Bog - Prometheus Books - Plusbog.dk

Sidney Hook on Pragmatism, Democracy, and Freedom - Sidney Hook - Bog - Prometheus Books - Plusbog.dk

Sidney Hook is arguably America''s most controversial intellectual. After beginning his career as this nation''s foremost Marxist scholar, he became in the late 1930s the leading anticommunist intellectual and defender of freedom against all forms of totalitarianism. This volume collects twenty-five of Hook''s most incisive essays in political philosophy. Clustered into five main sections, the essays discuss pragmatism and naturalism, Marx and Marxism, Democratic theory and practice, and the defense of a free society.In an insightful introduction, editors Talisse and Tempio argue that underlying the wide range of subjects covered by Hook was his unwavering commitment to the "method of intelligence," which contends that any proposal, whether scientific, moral, or political, must be treated as a hypothesis to be confirmed or disconfirmed by the experimental evidence and deliberation of an unfettered community of inquiry. The editors place this methodology at the core of all of Hook''s philosophical and political work.This excellent collection makes a superb introduction to the thought of a leading intellectual who for too long has been neglected by mainstream American philosophy.

Wall to Wall - Douglas Woolf - Bog - Dalkey Archive Press - Plusbog.dk

Wall to Wall - Douglas Woolf - Bog - Dalkey Archive Press - Plusbog.dk

Like so many of Woolf's odysseys into the heart of America's subcultures, ?"Wall to Wall"?traces a modern?Ulysses?in reverse: from a West Coast asylum where he works as an attendant to a Boston asylum where he visits his mother, Claude Squires views roadside America from its weak side--the tough underbelly of the Southwest, Tucson, the Rio Grande, Nogales, The Border--before thrusting himself into Okie's sacred shrine, Oklahoma City, and into the staid Eastern Corridor that ends in Boston. Claude's vehicle is a '59 Thunderhead, a "female beast," which his father, a used-car dealer in L.A., has commissioned him to deliver to Oklahoma City. And like all of Woolf's cars, the Thunderhead is a "she," a domineering companion in Claude's cross-country picaresque "flight of passage." In "Wall to Wall" Woolf's view is evocative and is very much his own. First published by Grove Press in 1962, "Wall to Wall" has been an underground classic for over thirty-five years, a comic and satiric masterpiece.

Bogen om Kim Wall - Joachim Wall - Bog - Gyldendal - Plusbog.dk

Kim Walls forældre fortæller nu historien om deres datters liv, og det eftermæle de ønsker hun får. I august 2017 forsvandt den svenske journalist Kim Wall, efter en sejltur med danske Peter Madsens ubåd. I den efterfølgende måned, blev dele af den unge kvinde fundet i farvandet omkring København. Dette blev starten på en af de mest opsigtsvækkende mordsager i nyere tid. Bogen om Kim Wall er den sande fortælling om en intelligent, socialt engageret og hårdtarbejdende journalist, med livet foran sig, fortalt af dem der kendte hende bedst: hendes forældre. Ingrid og Joachim Wall fortæller i denne bog historien om deres datters nysgerrige og empatiske tilgang til verden, livet og ikke mindst hendes medmennesker. Det er desuden en bog om tiden efter, at livet blev taget fra hende. I bogen fortæller Kims forældre desuden om de første forvirrede, uvisse dage i København samt om retssagen mod Peter Madsen. Kim skulle have skrevet historierne. I stedet blev hun historien. I bogen bliver Kim husket som den engagerede og viljestærke kvinde hun var - ikke som offeret.

Lip Hook - David Hine - Bog - SelfMadeHero - Plusbog.dk

Lip Hook - David Hine - Bog - SelfMadeHero - Plusbog.dk

Somewhere in the British Isles, at the end of a neglected road, there is a village called Lip Hook. For its inhabitants, the village is more than the end of the road—it’s the end of the world. Beyond it, there is nothing but mist-shrouded marshland. Few travelers take the road to Lip Hook, but one foggy night, a car speeds perilously toward the village. The driver is a dangerously beautiful woman, the passenger a man with a gunshot wound and a suitcase containing a treasure he has risked his life for. Cash-strapped but in need of a place to hide, the two fugitives seek shelter at the Hanged Man Inn, where the woman persuades the innkeeper to accept payment in kind. As days pass and the woman extends her services to more of Lip Hook's men, among them the village priest, a false faith grips the community—and reason, logic, and humanity begin to disappear.

Wall Street Values - Michael A. Santoro - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Wall Street Values - Michael A. Santoro - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This timely book answers complex and perplexing questions raised by Wall Street''s role in the financial crisis. What are the economic and moral connections between Wall Street and the overall economy? How did we arrive at this point in history where our most powerful financial institutions thwart rather than promote free markets, prosperity and even social cohesion? Can the fractured relationship between Wall Street and Main Street be repaired? Wall Street Values chronicles the transformation of Wall Street''s business model from serving clients to proprietary trading and explains how this shift undermined the ethical foundations of the modern financial industry. Michael A. Santoro and Ronald J. Strauss argue that post-millennial Wall Street is not only ''too big to fail'' but also a threat to the economy even when it succeeds.

Germany's Gold - - Bog - Hirmer Verlag - Plusbog.dk

Germany's Gold - - Bog - Hirmer Verlag - Plusbog.dk

How did Germany’s gold reserves arise and which role has gold played as a currency across the centuries? What significance did gold reserves have then and what is its role today? In this book the gold reserves of the Bundesbank are vividly illustrated and presented to readers in such an informative way that it seems as if you were holding them in your hands. The transfer of significant gold reserves from the depots in New York and Paris to Frankfurt has been the subject of considerable public interest in recent years. These German gold reserves are administered by the Deutsche Bundesbank, and this book provides detailed information for the first time about the development, use and storage of the gold in the bank’s own vaults. Interesting insight into the mining and processing of gold as a raw material, as well as authoritative knowledge about its qualities, are impressively complemented visually by the lavish illustration of selected gold ingots from the reserves of the Bundesbank.
