Sinopse

Joseph Conrad's "Complete Short Stories of Joseph Conrad" is a distinguished collection that encapsulates the author's profound exploration of human experience and moral complexity. Combining literary styles that range from meticulously detailed realism to impressionistic narratives, this anthology invites readers into richly rendered worlds where psychological depth and existential themes intertwine. The collection is further enriched by the inclusion of Conrad'Äôs memoirs, letters, and critical essays, which provide invaluable context and insight into his narrative craft and philosophical inquiries, positioning his work within the broader literary canon of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Joseph Conrad, born on the fringes of Europe and a sailor by trade, brings a unique perspective to his literary endeavors. His diverse experiences, including the harsh realities of maritime life and encounters with multiple cultures, profoundly shaped his worldview and narrative style. Deeply influenced by his personal trials and the moral uncertainties of his era, Conrad'Äôs writing often reflects a search for meaning in an ambiguous and fragmented world, which is poignantly illustrated in this comprehensive collection. I recommend "Complete Short Stories of Joseph Conrad" to readers seeking a multi-faceted exploration of human nature. Whether you are a long-time admirer of Conrad or encountering him for the first time, this collection offers a rich tapestry of stories that not only entertain but also provoke introspection, making it an essential addition to any literary library.

Women physicists and astronomers from around the world have transformed science and society, but the critical roles they played in their fields are not always well-sung. Her Space, Her Time, authored by award-winning quantum physicist Shohini Ghose, brings together the stories of these remarkable women to celebrate their indelible scientific contributions. 
 
 
 
In each chapter, Ghose explores a scientific topic and explains how the women featured revolutionized that area of physics and astronomy. In doing so, she also addresses particular aspects of women's experiences in physics and astronomy: in the chapter on time, for instance, we learn of Henrietta Leavitt and Margaret Burbidge, who helped discover the big bang and the cosmic calendar; in the chapter on space exploration, we learn of Anigaduwagi (Cherokee) aerospace scientist Mary Golda Ross, who helped make the Moon landings possible; and in the chapter on subatomic particles, we learn of Marietta Blau, Hertha Wambacher, and Bibha Chowdhuri, who contributed to the discovery of the building blocks of the universe. 
 
 
 
Her Space, Her Time is a story of scientific innovation, inspirational leadership, and overcoming invisibility that will leave a lasting impression on any listener curious about the rule-breakers and trendsetters who illuminated our understanding of the universe.

She came to the throne in 1952 when Britain had a far-flung empire, sweets were rationed, mums stayed home and kids played on bombsites. Seventy years on, everything has changed utterly - except the Queen herself, ageing far more gracefully than the fractious nation over which she so lightly presides. 
How did we get from there to here in a single reign? To cancel culture, anti-vaxxers and Twitter feeds? Matthew Engel tells the story - starting with the years from Churchill to Thatcher - with his own light touch and a wealth of fascinating, forgotten, often funny detail.

"Fromm's developing thought merits the critical attention of all concerned with the human condition and its future." —The Washington Post 
 
 
 
The essays in this fascinating volume examine present-day psychological and cultural problems with the keen insight and humanistic sympathies characteristic of Erich Fromm's work. 
 
 
 
The Dogma of Christ provides some of the sharpest critical insights into how the contemporary world of human destructiveness and violence can no longer separate religion, psychology, and politics. The book brilliantly summarizes Fromm's ideas on how culture and society shape our behavior.
