Beschreibung

In "Principia Ethica," G. E. Moore presents a groundbreaking analysis of ethical theory, arguing for the significance of the intrinsic 'good' as a fundamental aspect of reality. Published in 1903, this philosophical treatise is noted for its rigorous logical structure and innovative approach to moral philosophy. Moore challenges prevalent ethical theories of his time, introducing the famous "naturalistic fallacy" which posits that one cannot derive 'ought' from 'is,' thereby setting a new direction in the study of ethics. The clarity of Moore's prose coupled with his precise arguments marks a pivotal moment in 20th-century philosophy, influencing both analytic and normative ethics dramatically. G. E. Moore, an English philosopher and a key figure in the early analytic tradition, was heavily influenced by the intellectual currents of his time, including the challenges posed by utilitarianism. His academic background at Cambridge and his close relationships with contemporaries like Bertrand Russell profoundly impacted his philosophical inquiries. Moore's commitment to clarity and rigor in ethical discourse led him to delve into the complexities of moral language and the nature of good, placing his work at the forefront of ethical theory. "Principia Ethica" is essential reading for anyone interested in the foundations of moral philosophy. Its arguments about the nature of good and the structure of ethical reasoning continue to resonate in contemporary discussions, making this work not only a cornerstone of philosophical literature but also a vital text for students and scholars alike. Engage with Moore's insights to enrich your understanding of ethical principles and their implications in today'Äôs moral landscape.

    While doing fieldwork on the remote Indonesian island of Flores, anthropologist Gregory Forth came across people talking about half-apelike, half-humanlike creatures that once lived in a cave on the slopes of a nearby volcano. Over the years he continued to record what locals had to say about these mystery hominoids while searching for ways to explain them as imaginary symbols of the wild or other cultural representations. 
     
     
     
    In Between Ape and Human, we follow Forth on the trail of this mystery hominoid, and the space they occupy in islanders' culture as both natural creatures and as supernatural beings. In a narrative filled with adventure, Lio culture and language, zoology and natural history, Forth comes to a startling and controversial conclusion. 
     
     
     
    Unique, important, and thought-provoking, this book will appeal to anyone interested in human evolution, the survival of species (including our own), and how humans might relate to 'not-quite-human' animals. A must-listen for all those interested in cryptozoology, it is the only firsthand investigation by a leading anthropologist into the possible survival of a primitive species of human into recent times—and its coexistence with modern humans.

    Commando Medics in the Falkland War

    This is a unique account of the Falkland War, told by former Commando Medic, Malcolm Hazell, who led a team of 39 men, initially at Ajax Bay, and subsequently at Teal Inlet where they were alongside members of the Special Boat Service (SBS) and the Commandos specialist Mountain and Arctic Warfare Cadre (M&AW Cadre). 
    Detailed accounts are given of the facilities the medical team provided at both locations, and the largely untold military role Teal Inlet played in defeating the Argentine Forces. Above all this is a graphic account of the war, and its many battles, including Naval gunfire support provided by destroyers and frigates, and the damage and losses resulting both ashore and afloat. Having written the account, shocking anomalies regarding fatalities from both sides of the conflict are uncovered and remain unresolved. 
    Malcolm Hazell's medical team played a full part in the reception and treatment of around two-thirds of all the casualties treated ashore, ably supported at Ajax Bay by both Royal Navy and Parachute surgical teams; but at Teal Inlet they depended on just one surgeon and a handful of other medics to manage an operating table. When weather conditions deteriorated as the war reached its climax, the team at Teal Inlet were the sole receiving medical facility, placing an unimaginable strain on the facility, much of which was under canvas. Argentine and British fatalities were also being flown back to the facility - something that has proven highly controversial and contentious as the author has sought to clarify anomalies he identified in 2020, only to be met with denials and silence. 
    This is not just a medics story however, and the reader is given a full understanding of the tactical situation throughout the account, on a day-by-day, blow-by-blow basis. 'Commando Medics in the Falkland War' provides a complete insight into almost every aspect of this brutal war.

    In 2015, after a historic run-off election, Megan Barry became the first female mayor of Nashville, Tennessee. Quickly becoming one of the most popular progressive politicians in the Bible Belt, Barry was a beloved leader with a sky-high approval rating and an unshakable hope for a new, forward-thinking, modern South. For her first few years in office, she was one of the most important voices at the table—until she became the most notorious. 
     
     
     
    Barry loved three things the most in the world—her son, Max, her husband, Bruce, and her job as the mayor of Nashville . . . until she lost two of them. Her monumental lapse in judgment led to a painful public reckoning and the fall of her rising political career. A battle with substance-use disorder robbed her of her only child. Grief, pride, shame, longing, and resentment nearly destroyed her marriage. Barry has to start again, the right way, with humility, hope, and a wicked sense of humor. 
     
     
     
    It's What You Do Next is a deeply honest book about womanhood at home, in politics, and in the spaces between.  Warm, funny, and uncompromisingly honest, Barry speaks to women as their close friend, not their fearless leader, her true self, not always her best self. She gives listeners permission to come as they are and leave knowing that what matters most, is what happens next.
