Sinopsis

In "The Democracy of Objects," Levi R. Bryant challenges traditional hierarchies within the realm of ontology, proposing a radical rethinking of the relationships between human and non-human entities. Drawing upon a rich array of philosophical influences, including the work of Graham Harman and the broader speculative realism movement, Bryant articulates a framework where all objects possess agency and significance, irrespective of their scale or context. His writing is marked by clarity and rigor, blending theoretical explorations with practical implications in an accessible manner that invites a reconsideration of how we perceive the world around us. Levi R. Bryant is a prominent figure in contemporary philosophy, known for his contributions to object-oriented ontology and his critiques of correlationism. His academic background in philosophy, alongside his engagement with digital culture and technology, provides a unique lens through which he examines the implications of a non-hierarchical ontology. Bryant's intellectual journey resonates with the themes of interconnectedness and equality he champions in his work, allowing him to illuminate the unseen relationships that bind objects to one another. For readers interested in philosophical discourse that transcends anthropocentrism, "The Democracy of Objects" is an essential text. Bryant's insightful arguments encourage us to expand our understanding of agency and existence, making this book a valuable resource for both seasoned philosophers and those curious about the evolving landscape of contemporary thought.

    There are few women in English history more famous or controversial than Queen Anne Boleyn. In this vivid and engaging account of the triumphant and harrowing final year of Queen Anne Boleyn's life, the author reveals a very human portrait of a brilliant, passionate, and complex woman. 
     
     
     
    The last year of Anne's life contained both joy and heartbreak. This telling period bore witness to one of the longest and most politically significant progresses of Henry VIII's reign, improved relations between the royal couple, and Anne's longed-for pregnancy. With the dawning of the new year, the pendulum swung. In late January 1536, Anne received news that her husband had been thrown from his horse in his tiltyard at Greenwich. Just days later, tragedy struck. As the body of Anne's predecessor, Katherine of Aragon, was being prepared for burial, Anne miscarried her son. The promise of a new beginning dashed, the months that followed were a roller coaster of anguish and hope, marked by betrayal, brutality, and rumor. What began with so much promise, ended in silent dignity, amid a whirlwind of scandal, on a scaffold at the Tower of London. 
     
     
     
    Through close examination of these intriguing events considered in their social and historical context, listeners will gain a fresh perspective into the life and death of the woman behind the tantalizing tale.

    This book addresses the fraught relationship between women and aggression, one troubled by age-old patriarchal forces that disparage women's ambition, assertion, and voice. 
    Told from a psychoanalytic perspective, the book details the sociocultural forces that infect a woman's intrapsychic dynamics and compel her to sacrifice her goals and dreams. Compelling examples are offered from current politics, the author's own struggles with aggression, and clinical work with female patients who successfully reclaimed their aggression. The book addresses the critical question of how a woman can ever succeed, through the presentation of the author's detailed and psychoanalytically informed interviews with six powerful and highly influential women. Each woman brings to life the story of her history, influences, and challenges to provide inspiration for others to reimagine their own "nastiness," as an innovative, vitalizing tool. 
    This book is distinguished by its unique blend of contemporary life, psychoanalytic practice, feminist theory, and gender studies, untold in any other forum or publication. It is essential for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and all those interested in working with women in a therapeutic setting and understanding their challenges with aggression.

    Discover the secret method used to build the world . . . 
     
     
     
    For millennia, humans have used one simple method to solve problems. Whether it's planting crops, building skyscrapers, developing photographs, or designing the first microchip, all creators follow the same steps to engineer progress. But this powerful method, the "engineering method", is an all but hidden process that few of us have heard of—let alone understand—but that influences every aspect of our lives. 
     
     
     
    Bill Hammack, a Carl Sagan Award–winning professor of engineering and viral "The Engineer Guy" on YouTube, has a lifelong passion for the things we make, and how we make them. Now, for the first time, he reveals the invisible method behind every invention and takes us on a whirlwind tour of how humans built the world we know today. From the grand stone arches of medieval cathedrals to the mundane modern soda can, Hammack explains the golden rule of thumb that underlies every new building technique, every technological advancement, and every creative solution that leads us one step closer to a better, more functional world. Spanning centuries and cultures, Hammack offers a fascinating perspective on how humans engineer solutions in a world full of problems.

    The Copenhagen Papers - An Intrigue

    In a brilliant coda to the play Copenhagen, Michael Frayn receives mysterious letters that take him back to the theme of his bestselling novel, Headlong -- human folly, this time his own.Michael Frayn's Copenhagen has established itself as one of the finest pieces of drama to grace the stage in recent years. The subject of the Tony-winning play is the strange visit the German nuclear physicist Werner Heisenberg made to his former mentor, scientist Niels Bohr, in Nazi-occupied Copenhagen and the quarrel that ensued. Heisenberg's intentions on that visit, for good or for evil, have long intrigued and baffled historians and scientists. One day, during the British run of Copenhagen, Frayn received a curious package from a suburban housewife, which contained a few faded pages of barely legible German writings. These pages, which she claimed to have found concealed beneath her floorboards, seemed to cast a remarkable new light on the mystery at the heart of play. As more material emerged -- specifically notes that appeared to give instructions on how to put up a table-tennis table but perhaps containing important encoded information -- actor David Burke, who was playing Niels Bohr, began to display extreme, even suspicious interest in Frayn's growing obsession with cracking the riddle of the papers. And Frayn, for his part, lost all sense of certainty. Was he the victim of an elaborate hoax? By turns comic and profound, The Copenhagen Papers explores the conundrum that is always at the heart of Frayn's work -- human gullibility and the eternal difficulty of knowing why we do what we do.
