Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "On the Theory of the Infinite in Modern Thought: Two Introductory Studies," Eleanor F. Jourdain explores the complexities of infinity as a concept that has bedeviled philosophers and mathematicians alike. Employing a rigorous analytical style, Jourdain discusses the evolution of the theory of the infinite, tracing its lineage through historical and contemporary thought. The book is structured into two parts, providing a conceptual framework that integrates mathematical rigor with philosophical inquiry. Jourdain elegantly navigates the intersections between science, mathematics, and metaphysics, making the abstract nature of infinity accessible to the reader while situating her discourse within the broader context of early 20th-century intellectual currents. Eleanor F. Jourdain was not only a significant figure in the field of mathematics education but also a pioneering female scholar whose pen was informed by her deep interest in the intersections of philosophy and mathematics. Her background in mathematics, further enriched by her engagement with the philosophical questions surrounding infinity, uniquely positioned her to produce a work that challenges conventional boundaries. Jourdain's contributions to the understanding of infinite concepts resonate within her own lived experiences as a trailblazer in academia during a time when such pursuits were often dominated by men. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the philosophical underpinnings of mathematics, particularly those who wish to investigate the implications of infinity on modern thought. Jourdain's insights invite readers to contemplate the profound and often paradoxical nature of infinity and its influence on both mathematical theory and intellectual discourse. Scholars, students, and curious minds alike will find rich reflections within Jourdain's narrative that challenge and expand their understanding of this enigmatic concept.

A Brilliant Commodity - Diamonds...

Saskia Coenen Snyder

During the late nineteenth century, tens of thousands of diggers, prospectors, merchants, and dealers extracted and shipped over 50 million carats of diamonds from South Africa to London. The primary supplier to the world, South Africa's diamond fields became one of the formative sites of modern capitalist production. At each stage of the diamond's route through the British empire and beyond—from Cape Town to London, from Amsterdam to New York City—carbon gems were primarily mined, processed, appraised, and sold by Jews. 
 
 
 
In A Brilliant Commodity, historian Saskia Coenen Snyder traces how once-peripheral Jewish populations became the central architects of a new, global exchange of diamonds. Centuries of restrictions had limited Jews to trade and finance, businesses that often heavily relied on internal networks. Jews were well-positioned to become key players in the earliest stage of the diamond trade and its growth into a global industry. Relying on mercantile and familial ties across continents, Jews created a highly successful commodity chain that included buyers, brokers, cutters, factory owners, financiers, and retailers. 
 
 
 
Working within a diasporic ethnic community that bridged city and countryside, metropole and colony, Jews helped build a flourishing diamond industry and a place for themselves in the modern world.

Ukraine and the Art of Strategy

Lawrence Freedman

The Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, subsequent war in Eastern Ukraine, and economic sanctions imposed by the West transformed European politics. The conflict did not escalate to the levels originally feared but nor was either side able to bring it to a definitive conclusion. Ukraine suffered a loss of territory but was not forced into changing its policies away from the Westward course adopted as a result of the EuroMaidan uprising of February 2014. President Putin was left supporting a separatist enclave as Russia's economy suffered significant damage. 
 
 
 
Ukraine and the Art of Strategy provides an account of the origins and course of the Russia-Ukraine conflict through the lens of strategy. Lawrence Freedman describes the development of President Putin's anxieties that former Soviet countries were being drawn towards the European Union, the effective pressure he put on President Yanokvych of Ukraine to turn away from the EU, and the resulting "EuroMaidan Revolution" which led to Yanukovych fleeing. He explores the reluctance of Putin to use Russian forces to do more that consolidate the insurgency in Eastern Ukraine, the failure of the Minsk peace process, and the limits of the international response. Putin's strategic-making is kept in view at all times, including his use of "information warfare" and attempts to influence the American election.
