Sinopsis

Norway Defense Spending examines the complexities of Norway's commitment to military modernization in the 21st century, specifically focusing on the economic realities behind naval upgrades and the F-35 fighter program. The book delves into the escalating costs of advanced military technology, highlighting how the Norwegian frigate program exceeded 100 billion kroner. It also explores the trade-offs between technological superiority and fiscal responsibility in defense planning, a crucial consideration for any nation balancing its national security needs with resource allocation.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the historical and economic context of Norwegian defense policy, including Norway's long-standing relationship with NATO. It then analyzes the frigate program's costs and strategic rationale before comparing naval spending to the F-35 acquisition. This approach allows for a nuanced understanding of the choices and challenges inherent in modern defense planning.

 
Norway Defense Spending ultimately questions whether current investments provide optimal value for money and proposes alternative defense strategies, offering valuable insights for policymakers, defense analysts, and anyone interested in national security and international relations.

What Is It Like to Be a Bat?

Thomas Nagel

"Consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem really intractable." So begins Thomas Nagel's classic 1974 essay "What is it Like to be a Bat?" Nagel's essay initiated the now widespread attention to consciousness as a central problem for philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience; it also influenced the recognition of the consciousness of nonhuman creatures as an important subject of study. Nagel argued that the essential subjectivity of conscious experience—what it is like for the creature undergoing it—means that reductionist theories of mind, which attempt to analyze it in physical terms, can never succeed. It follows that the physical sciences cannot provide a complete description of reality, and that the physical conception of objective reality must be transcended if science is going to comprehend the mind. 
 
 
 
This edition reissues this classic and widely influential article on its fiftieth anniversary, along with a new preface discussing the origins and influence of the essay, as well as "Further Thoughts: The Psychophysical Nexus," a supplementary essay which describes Nagel's later thoughts about how to respond to the problem posed by "What Is It Like to Be a Bat?"

A Thing of Beauty

Peter Fiennes

LONGLISTED FOR THE ANGLO-HELLENIC LEAGUE RUNCIMAN AWARD 2022

What do the Greek myths mean to us today?

It’s now a golden age for these tales – they crop up in novels, films and popular culture. But what’s the modern relevance of Theseus, Hera and Pandora? Were these stories ever meant for children? And what’s to be seen now at the places where heroes fought and gods once quarrelled?
Peter Fiennes travels to the sites of some of the most famous Greek myths, on the trail of hope, beauty and a new way of seeing what we have done to our world. Fiennes walks through landscapes – stunning and spoiled – on the trail of dancing activists and Arcadian shepherds, finds the ‘most beautiful beach in Greece’, consults the Oracle, and loses himself in the cities, remote villages and ruins of this storied land.

‘Peter Fiennes’s road trip around Greece [is] engagingly described’ Mary Beard, TLS

‘Fiennes is a brilliant and generous guide through Greece’ Observer

‘A wonderful book by a wonderful writer.’ Tom Holland

'A wonderful… really profound meditation on what it means to hope… a gorgeous excursion into Greece and across the centuries on an environmental quest’ BBC Radio 4 Open Book BOOK OF THE YEAR choice by Anita Roy

‘Immensely pleasurable...takes you on an adventure around Greece and the myths that the ancients told there. But what really stayed with me were the reflections on storytelling, joy, and hope. Essential for our pandemic and pollution ravaged times.’ Helen Morales, author of Antigone Rising: The Subversive Power of the Ancient Myths
