Introducing Chomsky - John Maher
Can it be that the human brain possesses an in-built faculty for language? Noam Chomsky, one of the most brilliant linguists of the 20th century, believes that it does- that there exists a universal grammar common to all languages. Around the world children learn, in very similar ways, languages that seem entirely different. This is possible, Chomsky argues, because all human languages and their grammatical structures are linked in the human brain.Chomsky is controversial and yet highly influential, both in his pioneering work in linguistics and in his unrelenting critique of international power and his commitment to freedom and justice. These two Chomskys are heirs to the Enlightenment tradition, and this book is the ideal introduction to them both.

Teodros Kiros Conversations with Noam Chomsky - Teodros Kiros
Professor Chomsky is among the leading thinkers across the globe over the last century. CONVERSATIONS WITH NOAM CHOMSKY bolsters this assertion. The book is a deft exploration into Chomsky s views on the distinction between linguistic philosophy and the philosophy of language, consciousness, machines, the ethics of artificial intelligence in the wake of ChatGPT, the relationship between the heart and the mind, and the stakes of disciplines and canon formation for knowledge and human transformation. Language, ultimately, is the fulcrum of Chomsky s thought, as is language for intellectuals such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Sylvia Wynter, and Ng g wa Thiong o. Teodros Kiros, esteemed Africana philosopher and interviewer, has done us a great service in bringing the best of Chomsky s ideas in an exciting, accessible manner. Go and enjoy this book! - Neil Roberts, Associate Dean of the Faculty, Williams College These conversations remind us that philosophy is a pursuit in which all humans can engage. Chomsky speaks with his characteristic directness, exploring the perennial mysteries of mind and matter, recognising the limits to human understanding. I was especially struck by his reminder, in speaking of 17th-century European philosophy, of the devastating consequences for conquered peoples of the determination that they had souls. That verdict, as we come to see, was a moment in the long history of speculation on the central question of what distinguishes humans from other animals, on which reflection is here brought entertainingly down to earth in Chomsky s frequent allusions to the silent witnesses to the dialogues - his two dogs! - Victor Wallis, professor, Liberal Arts Sciences, Berklee College of Music

Surviving the 21st Century - Noam Chomsky, Jose Mujica, Saul Alvidrez
Two world-renowned figures of contemporary politics come together to discuss transcendental topics and debate alternatives for the future: José Pepe Mujica, former president of Uruguay and an ex-guerrilla who has gained enormous international popularity for his message of sustainability and common sense, and Noam Chomsky, an intellectual who revolutionized linguistics and later addressed a wide range of humanistic and political topics of profound importance.Mexican documentary filmmaker Saúl Alvídrez brought these two pivotal figures together for a fruitful exchange of ideas. From the meeting of these voices emerge reflections that allow an approach to many of the major issues that the world currently faces: the consequences of climate change, corruption, populism, the crisis of capitalism and its successive mutations, the logic of the market economy, and problems of production, among many others.Chomsky and Mujica emphasize throughout the values that must be taken into account to move towards a sustainable future: democracy, freedom, purposeful living, love, and friendship are here the pillars from which to build a new world.

The Prince - Stephen Maher
Nominated for the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing The first comprehensive biography of Justin Trudeau as prime minister—an honest, compelling story of his government’s triumphs and failures, based on interviews with over 200 insiders and Trudeau himself.As one of the longest-surviving prime ministers and son of the legendary Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Justin Trudeau is near royalty in Canada. But how did this former high school teacher with no noteworthy accomplishments put together a team that managed to take over the Liberal Party and bring it from third place to a majority government in 2015? The Prince shows just that. In this first comprehensive history of the Justin Trudeau government, veteran journalist Stephen Maher takes readers behind the scenes of a tumultuous decade of Canadian politics. Through hundreds of interviews with political insiders, he describes how Trudeau—a Canadian prince—had the famous name, the political instincts, the work ethic, and the confidence to overcome errors in judgment and build a global brand, winning in the boxing ring and on the debate stage. And then things changed as key people left the Trudeau team and the government lost direction. Trudeau is an enigmatic figure—a politician who has been in the public eye since childhood and seeks attention but has always concealed his actual feelings from those around him. He has shown admirable strength and skill, deftly handling Donald Trump in trade deals and international meetings and in leading Canada through the COVID-19 pandemic. He has delivered substantial results for people within his political coalition—the most successful attack on poverty in a generation, real progress on climate change, and a sustained application of money and political capital to Indigenous reconciliation. Even as the government overcame major challenges, however, errors in judgment and personality conflicts wasted political capital. Trudeau has struggled to manage his own office, with devastating consequences, and alienated people outside his coalition, to the point where he can’t hold a public event without protesters screaming curses at him. The Prince takes readers behind the curtain as the government goes from triumph to embarrassment and back again, revealing the people, the conflicts, and the struggles both in the government and on the opposition benches. Above all, it traces why this ambitious government led by a global media darling is now so unpopular it is in danger of imminent collapse.

Here he presents Who Rules the World?, his definitive account of those powers, how they work, and why we should be questioning them. From the dark history of the US and Cuba to China s global rise, from torture memos to sanctions on Iran, this book investigates the defining issues of our times and exposes the hypocrisy at the heart of America s policies and actions. The world s political and financial elite are now operating almost totally unconstrained by the so-called democratic structure. With climate change and nuclear proliferation threatening our very survival, dissenting voices have never been more necessary.

Why is the Atlantic slowly filling with crude petroleum, threatening a millions-of-years-old ecological balance? Why did traders at prominent banks take high-risk gambles with the money entrusted to them and create a global financial crisis?

Consequences of Capitalism - Noam Chomsky, Marv Waterstone
An essential primer on capitalism, politics and how the world works, based on the hugely popular undergraduate lecture series What is Politics? Is there an alternative to capitalism? In this landmark text Chomsky and Waterstone chart a critical map for a more just and sustainable society. Covid-19 has revealed glaring failures and monstrous brutalities in the current capitalist system. It represents both a crisis and an opportunity. Everything depends on the actions that people take into their own hands. How does politics shape our world, our lives and our perceptions? How much of common sense is actually driven by the ruling classes needs and interests? And how are we to challenge the capitalist structures that now threaten all life on the planet? Consequences of Capitalism exposes the deep, often unseen connections between neoliberal common sense and structural power. In making these linkages, we see how the current hegemony keeps social justice movements divided and marginalized. And, most importantly, we see how we can fight to overcome these divisions.

Philosophers have always enjoyed asking awkward and provocative questions, such as: What is the nature of reality? What are human beings really like?

Introducing Psychoanalysis - Ivan Ward
INTRODUCING guide to the history and theory of the still controversial ‘speaking cure’. The ideas of psychoanalysis have permeated Western culture. It is the dominant paradigm through which we understand our emotional lives, and Freud still finds himself an iconic figure. Yet despite the constant stream of anti-Freud literature, little is known about contemporary psychoanalysis. Introducing Psychoanalysis redresses the balance. It introduces psychoanalysis as a unified ‘theory of the unconscious’ with a variety of different theoretical and therapeutic approaches, explains some of the strange ways in which psychoanalysts think about the mind, and is one of the few books to connect psychoanalysis to everyday life and common understanding of the world. How do psychoanalysts conceptualize the mind? Why was Freud so interested in sex? Is psychoanalysis a science? How does analysis work? In answering these questions, this book offers new insights into the nature of psychoanalytic theory and original ways of describing therapeutic practice. The theory comes alive through Oscar Zarate’s insightful and daring illustrations, which enlighten the text. In demystifying and explaining psychoanalysis, this book will be of interest to students, teachers and the general public. Ivan Ward has a background in social sciences and anthropology. He is a lecturer at the London Guildhall University and the Director of Education at the Freud Museum, London Oscar Zarate is one of the UK’s leading graphic artists. He has illustrated numerous Introducing titles. His graphic novel A Small Killing won the Will Eisner Prize.

Introducing Quantum Theory - Oscar Zarate, Joseph McEvoy
Quantum theory confronts us with bizarre paradoxes which contradict the logic of classical physics. At the subatomic level, one particle seems to know what the others are doing, and according to Heisenberg’s “uncertainty principle”, there is a limit on how accurately nature can be observed. And yet the theory is amazingly accurate and widely applied, explaining all of chemistry and most of physics. “Introducing Quantum Theory” takes us on a step-by-step tour with the key figures, including Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg and Schrodinger. Each contributed at least one crucial concept to the theory. The puzzle of the wave-particle duality is here, along with descriptions of the two questions raised against Bohr’s “Copenhagen Interpretation” – the famous “dead and alive cat” and the EPR paradox. Both remain unresolved. J.P. McEvoy is a former research scientist and now a science journalist. Oscar Zarate is a highly acclaimed graphic artist who has illustrated many Introducing titles.

Introducing Ethics - Dave Robinson
What is the place of individual choice and consequence in a post-Holocaust world of continuing genocidal ethnic cleansing? Is “identity” now a last-ditch cultural defence of ethnic nationalisms and competing fundamentalisms? In a climate of instant information, free markets and possible ecological disaster, how do we define “rights”, self-interest and civic duties? What are the acceptable limits of scientific investigation and genetic engineering, the rights and wrongs of animal rights, euthanasia and civil disobedience?”Introducing Ethics” confronts these dilemmas, tracing the arguments of the great moral thinkers, including Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes and Kant, and brings us up to date with postmodern critics. Dave Robinson has taught philosophy for many years and is the author of numerous Introducing titles. Chris Garratt is the cartoonist behind the legendary Biff comic strip in the Guardian.

Introducing Melanie Klein - R. D. Hinshelwood, Susan Robinson
INTRODUCING guide to the pioneering child psychoanalyst. Born in Vienna in 1882, Melanie Klein became a pioneer in child psychoanalysis and developed several ground-breaking concepts about the nature and crucial importance of the early stages of infantile development. Although she was a devoted Freudian, many of her ideas were seen within the psychoanalytic movement as highly controversial, and this led to heated conflicts, particularly with Freud s daughter, Anna. Introducing Melanie Klein brilliantly explains Klein s ideas, and shows the importance of her startling discoveries which raised such opposition at the time and are only now being recognized for their explanatory power. Her concepts of the depressive position and the paranoid-schizoid position are now in common usage and her work has to be taken seriously by psychoanalysts the world over. She is also now important in many academic fields within the human sciences.

Introducing The Enlightenment is a clear and accessible introduction to the leading thinkers of the age, the men and women who believed that rational endeavour could reveal the secrets of the universe.

Lord John and the Hand of Devils - Diana Gabaldon
A keepsake collection of Lord John Grey s shorter adventures and a spectacular addition to any Gabaldon fan s library, Lord John and the Hand of the Devils brings these three unique novellas together for the first time.____________Lord John and the Hellfire Club marks the first appearance of Lord John outside the Outlander novels (and chronologically precedes the novel Lord John and the Private Matter). A young diplomat is killed in the street as he begs Lord John for help. Witnessing the murder, Grey vows to avenge the young man, as the trail leads to the notorious Hellfire Club and the dark caves beneath Medmenham AbbeyIn Lord John and the Succubus, Grey s assignment as liaison to a Hanoverian regiment in Germany finds him caught between two threats: the advancing French and Austrian army, and the menace of a mysterious night-hag, who spreads fear and death among the troops. Acknowledging that he is unlikely to fall victim to a succubus, Lord John is obliged to contend with the marauding night-hag before the enemy arrives. This tale with a touch of the supernatural bridges the action between Gabaldon s two full-length Lord John tales.Finally, in Lord John and the Haunted Soldier, Lord John is called to the Arsenal at Woolwich to answer a Royal Commission of Enquiry s questions regarding a cannon that exploded during the battle of Krefeld (a central action in Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade). Accusations ensue, and Lord John finds himself knee-deep in a morass of gunpowder, treason, and plot -- haunted by a dead lieutenant, and followed by a man with no face.____________Readers love Lord John and the Hand of Devils . . .***** John Grey is my spirit animal. I am such a fan of this series! ***** My eyes couldn t read fast enough!! ***** I enjoyed all three, once again became lost in the time period within seconds of starting to read....I don t know how Diana G. does it! ***** I really, really liked this trilogy of novellas that were included in this book. ***** The insight is fascinating, interesting and favourable.

John Strelecky Kavárna na konci světa Provedení: Tištěná kniha
John měl naplánovanou jen krátkou pauzu. Místo ní se ocitá v podivné kavárně na konci světa, kde se ho servírka místo objednávky zeptá: Proč jste tady? A pak přijdou další otázky – hluboké, nečekané, neodbytné. A také rozhovory, které proměňují způsob, jak se dívá na vlastní život. Kniha v sobě nese kouzlo nenápadného příběhu – a právě v tom je její síla. Skrze zážitky jednoho člověka se dotýká základních lidských tužeb a obav. Nabízí pochopení, že náš život může mít smysl. A že máme možnost ho žít vědomě – každý den, každou minutu. Příběh Johna Streleckého oslovil miliony čtenářů po celém světě. Jeho kniha byla přeložena do více než 40 jazyků a stala se světovým bestsellerem. Pokud hledáte směr nebo jen chcete na chvíli vystoupit z každodenního shonu, tato kniha vás vezme přesně tam, kde potřebujete být – do kavárny na konci světa. Pro koho je kniha určena Pro všechny, kdo se někdy cítí unavení, ztracení nebo v zajetí rutiny Pro ty, kdo hledají odvahu žít podle sebe Pro čtenáře knih jako Alchymista nebo Čtyři dohody Proč si knihu přečíst a co vám dá Ukáže vám, že klíčové životní otázky nejsou děsivé, ale osvobozující Pomůže vám znovu najít směr, smysl a radost ze života Otevře vám oči i srdce – a možná změní i vaše rozhodnutí „Najednou mě přepadl zvláštní pocit. Jako bych se ocitl na samém okraji strmého útesu, kde jediný krok vpřed může znamenat okamžitou smrt, nebo věčné štěstí.“ Doporučení nakladatele „Tuhle knížku jsme vydali v době, kdy jsme sami cítili, že potřebujeme přehodnotit, proč děláme to, co děláme. A právě Kavárna na konci světa nám připomněla, že opravdová změna začíná otázkou. Nechte se jí inspirovat i vy – nenápadně, laskavě, ale do hloubky.“ - Michaela a Václav Kazdovi Přidejte si do sbírky Co o knize říkají čtenáři Vynikající knížka, stojí za přečtení. Oceňuji, že rozsahem stran je spíše podprůměrná, nicméně obsahem rozhodně nadprůměrná. Jiří Antoš Jedná se o čtení, které vám změní život. Knihu lze přečíst rychle, i když se pravděpodobně na mnoha různých místech v knize zastavíte a zapřemýšlíte. V knize je spousta příběhů k zamyšlení, jako je ten o mořské želvě. Kniha mi dala naději. Vždy jsem měla pocit, že život má být víc než jen ten stejný den za dnem. Něco v této malé knížce mi pomáhá si uvědomit, že je život opravdu o něčem víc. Patty Meister Knihy si kupuji je zřídka, protože čtu opravdu hodně a nemám prostor ani peníze na to, abych si koupila všechny knihy, co si chci přečíst. Proto jsem pravidelným návštěvníkem knihovny. Po přečtení této knihy (z knihovny) jsem si ale okamžitě koupila výtisk domů a letos jsem ji přečetla ještě dvakrát. Tato kniha mě zasáhla na všech správných místech. Nejen že se jedná o zábavný příběh, ale celkově se jedná o skvělou knihu o osobním rozvoji s mnoha tipy, jak žít život naplno! Tina Plumley Tuto knihu bych doporučila každému, kdo se cítí zaseknutý ve svém životě nebo stojí na životní křižovatce a snaží se rozhodnout, kterým směrem se vydat. Doporučila bych ji také jako dárek k absolvování střední nebo vysoké školy nebo někomu, kdo chce změnit své zaměstnání. Je to snadné a rychlé čtení, ale obsahuje několik otázek a příběhů, které nutí k zamyšlení. Doufám, že bude pokračování, ve kterém zjistíme, co John nadále dělá se svým životem. Tracey L. Allison Jak kniha vznikala Autor knihy John Strelecky se celý život na něco připravoval – na střední škole na vysokou školu, na vysoké škole na práci a v práci zase na posuny po kariérním žebříčku. Nikdy to ale nevedlo ke spokojenosti s jeho současným životem. Jednoho dne si vzal týden volna, aby unikl před prací a vším, co s ní souviselo. Ne že by mu jeho práce vadila, ale přišlo mu, že by měl být život víc než jen deset až dvanáct hodin denně v kanceláři. Po cestě na místo zabloudil a narazil na tajemnou kavárnu, která mu změnila život . A právě tento osobní příběh byl inspirací pro napsání knihy. O autorovi John Strelecky John Strelecky žije v Orlandu na Floridě. Jeho knihy, workshopy a lekce pomáhají lidem zjistit, co vlastně od života chtějí. V Německu založil organizaci John Strelecky & Friends, která má kromě jiného na starost organizaci jeho vystoupení. Událost, která mu v jeho třiceti letech změnila život, ho inspirovala k tomu, aby vyprávěl příběh Kavárny na konci světa. Kniha, která vznikla, se stala bestsellerem na třech kontinentech a tento úspěch ho dodnes nepřestává udivovat. Společně s dalšími příběhy o cestě k nalezení smyslu vlastní existence se na celém světě prodalo osm milionů výtisků jeho knih. Když John Strelecky zrovna nepíše, často cestuje. Největším dobrodružstvím jeho rodiny bylo roční putování kolem světa.

The writing is poetic and evocative, and the story will thrill readers who have long suspected something is missing from the classics of Greek myth. PIP WILLIAMS, author of The Dictionary of Lost Words and The Bookbinder of Jericho Spins a bewitching tale of courage, love, and defiance, giving voice and agency to the women in Greek tales who are so often defined by the men they are associated with. Orphia s poetry may bring the gods to tears; John s words have the same effect on us mere mortals. Tragic and triumphant, a must-read! ANDREA STEWART, author of The Bone Shard Daughter Elyse John s deft language lays bare the exquisite intimacies of human connection, from the brutal - yet seductive - exercise of power over another, to the moments of tenderness and vulnerability between lovers. SHELLEY PARKER-CHAN, author of She Who Became the Sun Elyse John s Orphia and Eurydicius stunning retelling deftly explores Orphia s beginnings, her poetic ambitions, and her searing chemistry with Eurydicius, all of which challenge the gender dynamics of the time and death itself. A highly original read. STACEY THOMAS, author of The Revels Bold yet beautiful ... I was glued to the page, compelled by the story of Lady Orphia and her love, the gentle shieldmaker Eurydicius. Orphia and Eurydicius is a thoughtful consideration as to what it means to be a man, a woman, a hero, a human being. I loved this retelling and couldn t stop thinking about it: Lady Orphia has my heart. LAURA SHEPPERSON, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Heroines (UK), Phaedra (US) A cleverly conceived and lyrically crafted reimagining. John deftly weaves a compelling and insightful narrative that interrogates not only patriarchy but the gendered dynamics of love, romance and the role of artist and muse. It is a story about the importance of having a voice, and a delightful subversion of myth BEA FITZGERALD, Sunday Times bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen I found myself crying at the power of Elyse John s glittering, lyrical prose and the relationship at the heart of the novel. This is an excellent example of the power of mythological retellings as the novel makes us re-examine gender, heteronormativity and what makes a hero. I fell head over heels for this warrior-poet and gentle shieldmaker RANI SELVARAJAH, author of Savage Beasts Orphia and Eurydicius is a Greek retelling which stands out in an age of reiterations. The language is lyrical, the plot, enchanting. John is a writer who has clearly done the work, one whose courage aligns with her brave, protagonists, outliers in their own right. I find myself enamoured of both artist and novel; the tender yearning, the fierce desire, the sorrow and sacrifice. This book consumed three months of my life and yet, I want to give more. It will be hard to return to real life. (If I cannot have this type of love, I d rather have none at all). Orphia and Eurydicius is worthy of the greats. CH?K?D?L? EMEL?MAD?, author of Dazzling A gorgeous, sweeping tale that both evokes the feeling of classic mythology and intelligent and modern insight, this is a story of the boundaries we put on love and grief - I dare you to be unmoved by it. SAM HAWKE, author of City of Lies A beautiful, poetic ode to Greek myth, love, and the sheer power of women s art and women s voices. TASHA SURI, author of
