Beschreibung

In "The Bread-winners: A Social Study," John Hay presents a detailed exploration of the intricate dynamics of American life in the late 19th century. Through a blend of sociological analysis and narrative prose, Hay delves into the struggles of working-class families, the impact of industrialization, and the quest for economic stability. His literary style is marked by a keen observation of social nuances and an empathetic tone, positioning the book as a poignant commentary on the pressures of modernity and capitalism. The work is situated within the growing discourse on labor and economic disparity, capturing the zeitgeist of a nation grappling with rapid change. John Hay, notably a politician, diplomat, and journalist, was deeply influenced by the social upheavals of his time. His first-hand experiences and extensive travels informed his understanding of societal structures and the plight of the working class. As a contemporary of prominent social reformers, Hay's writing reflects a genuine concern for the human condition, as well as a recognition of the broader economic forces at play. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in social history, labor studies, and American literature. Hay's insightful observations offer valuable perspectives on the intricacies of socio-economic relationships and will resonate with those seeking to comprehend the foundations of contemporary social issues.

    “The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.” With this bold statement, The Kybalion, attributed to the mysterious Three Initiates, invites readers into a world where ancient wisdom meets universal truth. First published in 1908, the book distills the essence of Hermetic philosophy, a tradition linked to Hermes Trismegistus, the legendary figure seen as a bridge between human consciousness and divine knowledge. 
    At its core, The Kybalion presents the Seven Hermetic Principles: Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. These principles are described as the laws governing both the visible and invisible realms. By understanding them, seekers can align with cosmic patterns, deepen self-mastery, and unlock hidden dimensions of existence. 
    This edition expands upon the original text with valuable insights: commentary and reflections, historical context, advanced Hermetic practices such as Alchemy, Astrology, and Theurgy, comparative analysis with other spiritual traditions, and a Hermetic Q&A for further clarity. 
    Emerging during a wave of fascination with mysticism in the early 20th century, The Kybalion quickly became a cornerstone of Western esotericism. The anonymity of its authors only adds to its allure, leaving readers to wonder at their identities and sources. More than a book, The Kybalion remains a guide to uncovering not only the mysteries of the universe but also the depths of one’s own mind.

    Over the past two decades, postcommunist countries have witnessed a sudden shift in the electoral fortunes of their political parties: previously successful center-left parties suffered dramatic electoral defeats and disappeared from the political scene, while right-wing populist parties soared in popularity and came to power. This dynamic echoed similar processes in Western Europe and raises a question: Were these dynamics in any way connected? When Right Moves Left argues that they were. And that the root of the connection between them lies in the pro-market rebranding of the ex-communist left—the key explanatory variable. This book asserts that, though the left's pro-market shift initially led to electoral rewards, it had a less straightforward impact on left-wing parties' electoral fortunes in the long run. 
     
     
     
    The book draws upon different levels of analysis: cross-country observational data, case studies, and individual-level experimental surveys. It argues that scholars should incorporate the economic policy dimension when explaining the demise of the left and the rise of the populist right in the region. It also examines important parallels between the dynamics of Western and postcommunist countries by arguing that the idiosyncrasy of Eastern European politics has been overstated in scholarly literature.

    Why War?

    Why has war been such a consistent presence throughout the human past? A leading historian explains, drawing on rich examples and keen insight. 
     
     
     
    Richard Overy is not the first scholar to take up the title question. In 1931, at the request of the League of Nations, Albert Einstein asked Sigmund Freud to collaborate on a short work examining whether there was "a way of delivering mankind from the menace of war." Published the next year as a pamphlet entitled Why War?, it conveyed Freud's conclusion that the "death drive" made any deliverance impossible—the psychological impulse to destruction was universal in the animal kingdom. The global wars of the later 1930s and 1940s seemed ample evidence of the dismal conclusion. 
     
     
     
    A preeminent historian of those wars, Overy brings vast knowledge to the title question and years of experience unraveling the knotted motivations of war. His approach is to separate the major drivers and motivations, and consider the ways each has contributed to organized conflict. They range from the impulses embedded in human biology and psychology, to the incentives to conflict developed through cultural evolution, to competition for resources. The discussions show remarkable range, delving deep into the Neolithic past, through the twentieth-century world wars, and up to the current conflict in Ukraine.
