  The Gay Science - A New Translation

  Friedrich Nietzsche

  "I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who makes things beautiful." 
  Written during Nietzsche's recovery from devastating illness, The Gay Science radiates with the joy of someone who has returned from the edge of death determined to affirm life in all its terrible beauty. This is Nietzsche at his most exuberant—dancing through profound ideas with wit, poetry, and intellectual playfulness that masks deadly serious philosophical revolution. 
  Here, in brilliant aphorisms and lyric verses, Nietzsche announces that "God is dead" and invites us to face this terrifying freedom with laughter rather than despair. He introduces the eternal recurrence—the thought that you must live this exact life infinitely again—as the ultimate test of life-affirmation. He envisions the Übermensch who creates values rather than inheriting them. And through it all, he celebrates the "gay science"—the joyful wisdom of those who pursue knowledge as artists pursue beauty, who make their lives into works of art. 
  The Gay Science bridges Nietzsche's earlier critical works and the prophetic vision of Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Its aphoristic brilliance allows him to explore everything from love and friendship to science and morality, from Greek tragedy to modern decadence, always with the underlying question: How do we affirm life when we can no longer believe in divine purpose or cosmic justice? 
  Playful yet profound, skeptical yet affirming, tragic yet joyous—this is Nietzsche's most personal work, his celebration of what it means to live fully in a world without God, without guaranteed meaning, without anything except the necessity to create meaning ourselves. 
  Essential reading for understanding Nietzsche's mature philosophy—where deadly serious ideas wear dancing shoes.

  Plato's Laches

  Laches, a general in the Athenian army, saw Socrates fight bravely in the battle of Delium. When he and Nicias, another general, are asked to explain the idea of courage, they are at a loss and words fail them. How does courage differ from thoughtless and reckless audacity? Can a lion be said to be courageous? What about small children who have little idea of the dangers they face?
   
  Should we call people courageous who do not know whether their bravery will produce good or bad consequences? What kind of education and training promotes both courage and goodness in people, whether they are young or old? Plato constantly presents courage as an essential quality for all who seek to live a good life, so what does it mean when even the bravest leaders of Athens cannot tell us what courage really is?

  A History of the Modern World -...

  Jeremy Black

  In this masterful account, Jeremy Black explores the key themes that have shaped the history of the modern world since 1950. Eschewing a simple political narrative, he instead explores the roles of the environment, demographics, the economy and technology in driving change in the world. 
   
  The story begins in 1950, by which time a new world order had come into place, with Communism firmly established in Russia, Eastern Europe and China, decolonisation well underway in the old European empires, and the American monopoly on nuclear weaponry at an end, setting the stage for the Cold War. 
   
  Over the course of the next 75 years, the world changed immeasurably - the population nearly tripled; climate change became ever more pronounced; new liberal values regarding gender, sexuality and age took hold; television and then the internet became the primary drivers of culture; and a new frontier of exploration opened up in space. At the same time tensions continued in politics, with alternative models of democracy and authoritarianism coming into fierce conflict and a range of new countries emerging through decolonization. 
   
  Ranging widely across the globe, A History of the World  sheds new light on this fascinating era.
