Sinopsis

Marx's account of the rise of Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte is one of his most important texts. Written after the defeat of the 1848 revolution in France and Bonaparte's subsequent coup, it is a concrete analysis that raises enduring theoretical questions about the state, class conflict and ideology.

Unlike his earlier analyses, Marx develops a nuanced argument concerning the independence of the state from class interests, the different types of classes, and the determining power of ideas and imagery in politics. In the Eighteenth Brumaire he applies his 'materialist conception of history' to an actual historical event with extraordinary subtlety and an impressive, powerful command of language.

This volume contains the most recent and widely acclaimed translation of the Eighteenth Brumaire by Terrell Carver, together with a series of specially commissioned essays on the importance of the Brumaire in Marx's canon. Contributors discuss its continuing significance and interest, the historical background and its contemporary relevance for political philosophy and history.

As huge and prominent as it appears to us, our planet  and solar system are but small parts of our galaxy, a  massive assembly that spatters the sky with billions of  stars and that extends away from us for tens of thousands  of light years. And this galaxy of ours is in turn  but a small portion of the universe of trillions of other  galaxies that reaches outward for billions of light years,  back to the dawn of time.  This course places our local solar system into the  greater context to show where it all came from and  what its fate may be. We will study our sun and its  interior, learn about stellar red giants, white dwarfs,  neutron stars, and black holes, and encounter the  mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. We explore  the natures of the stars, what different kinds there are,  what makes them shine, how they are born, and how  they die, some with a whimper, others with explosions  that rock the cosmos. We then look to our galaxy of  stars, and then to the great variety of other galaxies, to  their clusters, and to their fiery interactions and collisions.  Finally, we encounter the universe as a whole,  the collection of all there is, which is still expanding  from its Big Bang origin of nearly 14 billion years ago.

Walden by Henry David Thoreau is one of the best-known non-fiction books written by an American. Published in 1854, it details Thoreau’s life for two years, two months, and two days around the shores of Walden Pond.  Walden is neither a novel nor a true autobiography, but a social critique of the Western World, with each chapter heralding some aspect of humanity that needed to be either renounced or praised. Along with his critique of the civilized world, Thoreau examines other issues afflicting man in society, ranging from economy and reading to solitude and higher laws. He also takes time to talk about the experience at Walden Pond itself, commenting on the animals and the way people treated him for living there, using those experiences to bring out his philosophical positions. This extended commentary on nature has often been interpreted as a strong statement to the natural religion that transcendentalists like Thoreau and Emerson were preaching.

A look at how the Wisconsin lumber industry and the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory contributed to Allied efforts in World War II. 
 
Wisconsin’s trees heard “Timber” during World War II, as the forest products industry of the Badger State played a key role in the Allied aerial campaign. It was Wisconsin that provided the material for the De Havilland Mosquito, known as the “Timber Terror,” while the CG-4A battle-ready gliders, cloaked in stealthy silence, carried the 82nd and 101st Airborne into fierce fighting throughout Europe and the Pacific. Author Sara Witter Connor follows a forgotten thread of the American war effort, celebrating the factory workers, lumberjacks, pilots, and innovative thinkers of the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory who helped win a world war with paper, wood, and glue.
