Sinopsis

In "Anthropology," Daniel G. Brinton offers an incisive exploration of the human experience through a comprehensive lens that intertwines ethnography, archaeology, and cultural studies. Written in the late 19th century, Brinton's style reflects the intellectual currents of positivism and evolutionism prevalent in his day, while also challenging prevailing racism and ethnocentrism. His work is marked by meticulous observation and an earnest curiosity about indigenous cultures, examining their languages, beliefs, and societal structures. Brinton's emphasis on the interconnectedness of human societies serves as a precursor to contemporary anthropological thought. Daniel G. Brinton, a prominent American archaeologist and anthropologist, dedicated his career to the study of Native American cultures and their languages. His academic journey was deeply shaped by his fascination with the diversity of human cultures and a lifelong commitment to advancing the field of anthropology. Brinton's multidisciplinary background in linguistics and natural sciences bolstered his holistic approach, enabling him to assert the importance of cultural context in understanding human behavior. Brinton's "Anthropology" stands as an essential read for scholars, students, and anyone intrigued by the complexities of human societies. It invites readers to engage with the rich tapestry of cultural differences and evolutionary narratives, making it a thought-provoking addition to the canon of anthropological literature.

The Antichrist

Friedrich Nietzsche

The Antichrist is a book by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, originally published in 1895. Although it was written in 1888, its controversial content made Franz Overbeck and Heinrich Köselitz delay its publication, along with Ecce Homo. The German title can be translated into English as either The Anti-Christ or The Anti-Christian, depending on how the German word Christ is translated.  
Nietzsche claimed in the foreword to have written the book for a very limited readership. In order to understand the book, he asserted that the reader "...must be honest in intellectual matters to the point of hardness to so much as endure my seriousness, my passion." The audience should be above politics and nationalism. Also, the usefulness or harmfulness of truth should not be a concern. Characteristics such as "strength which prefers questions for which no one today is sufficiently daring; courage for the forbidden" are also needed. He disdained all other readers.

Toby Harnden

A NEW EDITION OF ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED BOOKS ON THE TROUBLES

In this acclaimed and remarkable book – originally published in 1999 – Toby Harnden, winner of the Orwell Prize, brings to bear his skills as a fearless journalist, inspired investigator and gifted historian, threatened with imprisonment for protecting his sources in Northern Ireland but undeterred.
