Book Synopsis Concrete Loyalties by : Mari Christie
Download or read book Concrete Loyalties written by Mari Christie and published by Mari Christie. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 1281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three children grow in different directions from the same, turn-of-the-century Brooklyn street: Jimmy, an incorrigible teenage thug; Frankie, a fourth-grade math prodigy; and Flory, a sweet, sheltered girl with a foolhardy plan. Each faces a tragedy beyond which their lives will never be the same, and even as they struggle into adulthood, the ghosts of their tragic pasts follow. When the three meet up again, loyalty—and love—become commodities to be bought and sold and gambled away. From the openly corrupt New York Democratic Party to the underground crime culture of Prohibition, from New York to Europe, Africa, and South America, from endemic poverty to endless wealth, these three grow into determined, but terribly wounded adults, passing on to the next generation the traditions of the street where it all began.

Through an international analysis of employee loyalty within the service industry, the author highlights the importance of this highly relevant but often overlooked topic to addressing practical issues such as conflict solution, employee retention, service mentality, and work effort.

Book Synopsis Covenant and Contract by : Adela Cortina Orts
Download or read book Covenant and Contract written by Adela Cortina Orts and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern republicanism nevertheless turns liberal and opts for the contract between independent beings as fiat of the political world." "But the Contract is not self-sufficient, since anyone who looks back to their roots will come to the narration of reciprocal recognition. The Covenant falls similarly short, as those who forget the parable of independence may well have a disregard for justice." "In a dialogue with the most relevant philosophical currents of the age, the book proposes an articulation of politics, ethics and religion appropriate for our own time, starting from the contract between independent beings and from the reciprocal recognition of those who know themselves to be human."--Jacket.

Book Synopsis Community and Loyalty in American Philosophy by : Steven A. Miller
Download or read book Community and Loyalty in American Philosophy written by Steven A. Miller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American pragmatism has always had at its heart a focus on questions of communities and ethics. This book explores the interrelated work of three thinkers influenced by the pragmatist tradition: Josiah Royce, Wilfrid Sellars, and Richard Rorty. These thinkers’ work spanned the range of twentieth-century philosophy, both historically and conceptually, but all had common concerns about how morality functions and what we can hope for in our interactions with others. Steven Miller argues that Royce, Sellars, and Rorty form a traditional line of inheritance, with the thought of each developing upon the best insights of the ones prior. Furthermore, he shows how three divergent views about the function, possibilities, and limits of moral community coalesce into a key narrative about how best we can work with and for other people, as we strive to come to think of widely different others as somehow being morally considerable as "one of us."
Book Synopsis Loyalties: A Novel of World War II by : Thomas Fleming
Download or read book Loyalties: A Novel of World War II written by Thomas Fleming and published by New Word City. This book was released on 2014-11-21 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Thomas Fleming tells a haunting love story set against of the more perplexing and least explored chapters of World War II. In Berlin, Berthe von Hoffman dreams of an angel in the depths, embracing her husband's submarine – and remembers Kristallnacht, when Hitler declared all-out war on the Jews. The stench of evil in that memory draws her to the headquarters of Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, enigmatic head of the German secret service – and guiding spirit of the Schwarze Kapelle, the circle of courageous men and women who comprise the secret dangerous resistance to Nazism. Aboard the USS Spencer Lewis off Iceland, Lieutenant Commander Jonathan Trumbull Talbot is denouncing President Franklin D. Roosevelt's unconstitutional undeclared war against Germany when a torpedo fired by Berthe's husband, Kapitanleutnant Ernst von Hoffmann, cut the destroyer in half. Out of this conjunction grows a tormented tangle of love and jealousy and patriotic deceit when the three meet in Spain after Pearl Harbor has catapulted American into the war. By that time, Talbot's criticism of the president has wrecked both his naval career and his marriage to Annie Richman, daughter of a congressman whose power depends on FDR's political wizardry. When Talbot returns from Spain to urge negotiations with Canaris and other leaders of the German resistance, Annie, now a powerful journalist, becomes a player in the struggle for the mind of the intransigent, mortally ill president. At its gripping climax, Loyalties draws everyone into an anguished confrontation with the limits of patriotism and God's baffling role in the middle of human destiny. From murderous contests between rival intelligence agencies in Spain to the labyrinthine political machinations in Washington, London, and Berlin to warfare beneath the North Atlantic, Loyalties is a dazzling mosaic of men and women caught in the crossfire of history – yet finding in the midst of destruction and chaos inexplicable glimpse of meaning and hope.

Book Synopsis Human Rights in Korea by : William Shaw
Download or read book Human Rights in Korea written by William Shaw and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These chapters by eight Korea specialists present a new approach to human rights issues in Korea. Instead of using an external and purely contemporary standard, the authors work from within Korean history, treating the successive phases of Korea's modern century to examine the uneasy fate of human rights and some of the ideas of human rights as they have developed in the Korean context. Beginning with the Independence Club of the late nineteenth century and continuing through to the constitutional and judicial structures underlying the Sixth Republic Government of Roh Tae Woo in South Korea, these papers illuminate the sometimes complex interactions between modern Korean human-rights issues and the legacies of Korean culture and colonial occupation.The final sections deal with the usefulness and appropriateness of U.S. policies toward human rights in South Korea and comparatively with the overall issues raised in the volume.
