"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's classic novel of manners and mores in early-nineteenth-century England. As the Bennets prepare their five grown daughters to enter into society, each shows personality traits that illuminate their future prospects as wives. Jane, the oldest, is the most demure and traditional, and Lydia, the youngest, the most headstrong and impulsive. Attention centers on haughty second-born Elizabeth, and her blossoming relationship with the dashing but aloof Fitzwilliam Darcy. Adversaries at first in the endless rounds of balls, parties, and social gatherings, they soon develop a grudging respect for one another that blossoms into romance when each comes to appreciate the tender feelings that course beneath the veneer of their propriety and reserve. First published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice is one of the most popular novels in English literature and a cornerstone of Jane Austen's reputation as one of the greatest novelists of all time. This volume is one of Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an exquisitely designed foil-stamped binding, with distinctive colored edging and an attractive ribbon bookmark.

With his 1954 book The Nature of Prejudice, American psychologist Gordon Allport displays the crucial skill of reasoning, producing and organizing an argument that was persuasive enough to have a major impact not only in universities, but also on government policy. The question that Allport tackled was an old one: why are people so disposed to prejudice against those from other groups? Earlier psychologists had suggested a number of reasons, especially in the case of racial prejudice. Some had suggested that racism was a learned behaviour, conditioned by negative experiences of other races; others that there was an objective rationale to negative racial stereotypes. Allport, however, reasoned that prejudice is essentially a by-product of the necessary mental shortcuts the human brain uses to process the vast amount of information it takes in. Because our brains want to use as little effort as possible, they regularly fall back on simple stereotypes – which easily generate prejudice. Gathering strong evidence for this hypothesis, he reasoned, clearly and persuasively, that our natural cognitive approach is the most significant factor in accounting for prejudice. Going further still, Allport also reasoned that, once this was better understood, social scientists would be able to influence policy-makers to curb discrimination by law.

Renomovaná autorka vo svojej knihe nahliada pod povrch systému, vysvetľuje jeho štruktúru, mechanizmy a rozoberá princípy fungovania kapitalizmu i z neho zrodeného nového imperializmu - imperializmu kapitálu. Predstavuje analytické a zároveň i historické pojednanie o kapitalistickom imperializme, o jeho hybných silách a odlišnostiach v porovnaní s inými formami imperializmu. Autorkina sonda odkrýva mechanizmy kapitalizmu, ktoré sú dnes zahmlené a skryté v pozadí, kým v minulosti bývalo centrum moci zrejmé a štrukturalizované. Rozoberá vzťah medzi ekonomickou a politickou mocou v kapitalizme a odhaľuje skutočnú úlohu vojenskej moci v ňom, ale i rozporuplnosť systému, v ktorom je na udržanie globalizovaného hospodárstva potrebný systém viacerých štátov. Tvrdí, že nový imperializmus býva označovaný ako globalizácia, pričom dôvodom je podľa nej jeho závislosť od ekonomickej nadvlády presahujúcej geografické hranice či politické kompetencie. Kapitalistický systém autorka prekvapivo demaskuje ako "anarchistický systém, v ktorom zákony trhu ohrozujú spoločenský poriadok".
