Book Synopsis If You Don’T Mind My Saying So by : John Calvert
Download or read book If You Don’T Mind My Saying So written by John Calvert and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an age in which even the most honest and intelligent debate on social topics is risky. Free inquiry, which was once the pride of higher education, has almost disappeared as our politicized campuses have become one-party systems tolerating little dissent from the established orthodoxy. The ideology of multiculturalism in particular has led to demands for conformity in education and in society in general, and even threatens the liberties of Western civilization. Debate on fundamental issues has become rare, and nowhere is it rarer than in higher education, which at one time exulted in debate and in defending unpopular views. This happens because almost all institutions of higher education are today dominated by a narrow portion of the political spectrum; fashion and rigid consensus, not debate, determine campus policy. The essays in this book deal with topics that in some quarters are in questionable taste, such as why: American students rank at the bottom in international tests Celebrating diversity may be a bad idea Artificial intelligence may eliminate all human jobs Demographic change threatens Americas 2-party system Marshmallows may make kids smarter We need the common core Etc, etc. Whatever the political stance of the reader, it is my hope that they will find these essays thought-provoking.

He was a young man of sixteen at the time but has followed her life for all these years to see if he can give up everything to be her Consort. Disguising his identity at a masquerade ball, he speaks with her and gives her a kiss. Later, when she is to meet her betrothed, Kathryn is shocked to see he is the man who was so bold with her at the ball a few years earlier. She has never forgotten him or the kiss. Bram has never forgotten her, either, and now, he must decide if he will marry her, that is if she will have him for a husband. Can they heal the rift between Scotland and England with a union, as her parents intended when they arranged the marriage all those years ago? Kathryn wants to marry for love… Publisher's Note: This steamy historical romance contains a theme of power exchange.
Book Synopsis Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk by : Nikolai Leskov
Download or read book Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk written by Nikolai Leskov and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new collection of the renowned Russian writer's best short work, including a masterful translation of the famous title story. Nikolai Leskov is the strangest of the great Russian writers of the nineteenth century. His work is closer to the oral traditions of narrative than that of his contemporaries, and served as the inspiration for Walter Benjamin's great essay "The Storyteller," in which Benjamin contrasts the plotty machinations of the modern novel with the strange, melancholy, but also worldly-wise yarns of an older, slower era that Leskov remained in touch with. The title story is a tale of illicit love and multiple murder that could easily find its way into a Scottish ballad and did go on to become the most popular of Dmitri Shostakovich's operas. The other stories, all but one newly translated, present the most focused and finely rendered collection of this indispensable writer currently available in English.

Book Synopsis Essays on Life Sciences, with Related Science Fiction Stories by : Pier Luigi Luisi
Download or read book Essays on Life Sciences, with Related Science Fiction Stories written by Pier Luigi Luisi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays highlights, in a new, critical fashion, some of the classic questions in life science. These include “what is life?”; “what is death?”; “what is consciousness?”; “why is life cellular?”; and “why are enzymes macromolecules?”. It also explores whether evolution is pre-determined, whether science and spirituality can harmonize with each other, whether artificial intelligence is at odds with the human spirit, and whether, and to what extent, we are genetically determined. In this text, some of the main conceptual tools used to tackle life’s many aspects are necessarily reviewed, such as the systems view of life, the notion of contingency, and the concept of autopoiesis. Each of the three chapters of the book contains a number of short science fiction stories which discuss aspects of the present-day development of artificial intelligence.

It includes comprehensive introductions to each period, providing in each case an overview of the historical and cultural as well as the literary background. It features accessible and engaging headnotes for all authors, extensive explanatory annotations throughout, and an unparalleled number of illustrations and contextual materials, offering additional perspectives both on individual texts and on larger social and cultural developments.

Highlights of Volume 6: The Twentieth Century and Beyond include: Joseph Conrad’s “The Secret Sharer,” “An Outpost of Progress,” an essay on the Titanic, and a substantial range of background materials, including documents on the exploitation of central Africa that set “An Outpost of Progress” in vivid context; and a large selection of late twentieth and early twenty-first century writers such as Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Zadie Smith. For the convenience of those whose focus does not extend to the full period covered in the Volume 6: The Twentieth Century and Beyond, that volume is now available either in its original one-volume format or in this alternative two-volume format, with Volume 6a (The Early Twentieth Century) extending to the end of WWII, and Volume 6b (The Late Twentieth Century and Beyond) covering from WWII into the present century.

This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 1791 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In all six of its volumes The Broadview Anthology of British Literature presents British literature in a truly distinctive light.

Innovative, authoritative and comprehensive, The Broadview Anthology of British Literature has established itself as a leader in the field. The full anthology comprises six bound volumes, together with an extensive website component; the latter has been edited, annotated, and designed according to the same high standards as the bound book component of the anthology, and is accessible by using the passcode obtained with the purchase of one or more of the bound volumes. The two-volume Broadview Anthology of British Literature: Concise Edition provides an attractive alternative to the full six-volume anthology. Though much more compact, the Concise Edition nevertheless provides instructors with substantial choice, offering both a strong selection of canonical authors and a sampling of lesser-known works. With an unparalleled number of illustrations and contextual materials, accessible and engaging introductions, and full explanatory annotations, this edition of the acclaimed Broadview Anthology provides concise yet wide-ranging coverage for British literature survey courses. Sylvia Townsend Warner, Stevie Smith, J.M. Coetzee, Eavan Boland, and Zadie Smith are among those given full author entries for the first time. There are also new selections by a number of authors who were already included in the anthology—among them Seamus Heaney, Margaret Atwood, and Carol Ann Duffy. There are new contextual materials as well—including material on “The Natural, the Supernatural, and the Sublime” in the Age of Romanticism section, and material on “The New Art of Photography” in The Victorian Era. The new edition concludes with a new section offering a range of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction prose under the heading “Literature, Politics, and Cultural Identity in the Late Twentieth- and Early Twenty-first Centuries.” The Concise edition will also now include a substantial website component, providing for much greater flexibility. And an increasing number of works from the full six-volume anthology (or from its website component) are being made available in stand-alone Broadview Anthology of British Literature editions. (Tennyson’s In Memoriam, for example, which was previously included in these pages, will now be available both as part of a stand-alone Broadview Anthology of British Literature edition of Tennyson’s selected poetry and as part of the website component of the anthology’s Concise Edition.)
