Sinossi

In "A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge," George Berkeley challenges the prevailing materialist philosophy of his time, advocating for an idealist perspective that posits reality is fundamentally composed of ideas rather than material substance. Berkeley's distinctive literary style combines rigorous philosophical argumentation with accessible prose, making metaphysical concepts comprehensible to a broader audience. Set against the backdrop of 18th-century Enlightenment thought, this treatise engages with and responds to the skepticism of empiricism and the rationalism of Descartes, offering a coherent framework that sees perception as the basis of existence: "to be is to be perceived." Berkeley, an Irish philosopher and bishop, was deeply influenced by the works of Locke and Hobbes, leading him to question the role of the senses in understanding the material world. His experiences in the rapidly shifting intellectual landscape of the Enlightenment, coupled with his religious convictions, provided fertile ground for his arguments against materialism. By grounding his theories in the immediate experience of consciousness and divine perception, Berkeley sought to reconcile faith and reason. Readers seeking a profound exploration of metaphysical thought will find Berkeley's treatise illuminating. His arguments invite reflection on the nature of existence, perception, and the limits of human knowledge, making this work an essential read for anyone interested in philosophy, epistemology, or the evolution of modern thought.

    The Book of Five Rings is a text on Kenjutsu and the martial arts in general, written by the Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi around 1645. There have been various translations made over the years, and it enjoys an audience considerably broader than only that of martial artists and people across East Asia: For instance, some foreign business leaders find its discussion of conflict and taking the advantage to be relevant to their work in a business context. 
    Musashi establishes a "no-nonsense" theme throughout the text. For instance, he repeatedly remarks that technical flourishes are excessive and contrasts worrying about such things with the principle that all technique is simply a method of cutting down one's opponent. He also continually makes the point that the understandings expressed in the book are important for combat on any scale, whether a one-on-one duel or a massive battle.

    A brilliant and bloody examination of the axe's foundational role in human history, from prehistoric violence, to war and executions, to newspaper headlines and popular culture.For as long as the axe has been in our hands, we have used it to kill.Much like the wheel, the boat, and the telephone, the axe is a transformative piece of technology—one that has been with us since prehistory. And just as early humans used the axe to chop down trees, hunt for food, and whittle tools, they also used it to murder. Over time, this particular use has endured: as the axe evolved over centuries to fit the needs of new agricultural, architectural, and social development, so have our lethal uses for it.Whack Job is the story of the axe, first as a convenient danger and then an anachronism, as told through the murders it has been employed in throughout history: from the first axe murder nearly half a million years ago, to the brutal harnessing of the axe in warfare, to its use in King Henry VIII's favorite method of execution, to Lizzie Borden and the birth of modern pop culture. Whack Job sheds brilliant light on this familiar implement, this most human of weapons. This is a critical examination of violence, an exploration of how technology shapes human conflict, the cruel and sacred rituals of execution and battle, and the ways humanity fits even the most savage impulses into narratives of the past and present.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

    The racers battle over steep inclines, through narrow mountain passages, and across the arid Gobi Desert. Competitors endure torrential rain and choking dust. There are barely any roads, and petrol is almost impossible to find. 
     
     
     
    More than its many adventures, the Peking-to-Paris Motor Challenge took place on the precipice of a new world. As the twentieth century dawned, imperial regimes in China and Russia were crumbling, paving the way for the rise of communist ones. The electric telegraph was rapidly transforming modern communication, and with it, the news media, commerce, and politics. Suspended between the old and the new, the Peking-to-Paris, as bestselling historian Kassia St. Clair writes, became a critical tipping point. 
     
     
     
    A gripping, immersive narrative of the race, The Race to the Future sets the drivers' derring-do (and occasional cheating) against the backdrop of a larger geopolitical and technological race to the future. Interweaving events from the fall of the Qing dynasty to the departure of the horse economy and the rise of gendered marketing, St. Clair shows how the Peking-to-Paris provided an impetus for profound social, cultural, and industrial change, while masterfully capturing the mounting tensions between nations and empires—all building up to the cataclysmic event that changed everything: the First World War.
