The Abolition of Manby C. S. LewisISBN 0020867905 (0-02-086790-5)
Softcover, Simon & Schuster

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Abolition of Man'Book summary:The Abolition of Man is a 1943 book by C. S. Lewis. It is subtitled "Reflections on education with special reference to the teaching of English in the upper forms of schools," and uses that as a starting point for a defense of objective value and natural law, and a warning of the consequences of doing away with or "debunking" those things. It defends science as something worth pursuing but criticizes using it to debunk values - the value of science itself being among them - or defining it to exclude such values. [via]

The Bondage of the Willby Martin LutherISBN 1932307079 (1-932307-07-9)
Softcover, Emerald House Group Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Bondage of the Will'Book summary:This edition of the Bondage of the Will was translated by Henry Cole in 1823. "Free will was no academic question to Luther; the whole Gospel of the grace of God, he held, was bound up with it, and stood or fell according to the way one decided it . . . . It is not the part of a true theologian, Luther holds, to be unconcerned, or to pretend to be unconcerned, when the Gospel is in danger . . . . The doctrine of the Bondage of the Will in particular was the corner-stone of the Gospel and the foundation of faith'' (40-41, emphasis added). ''In particular, the denial of free will was to Luther the foundation of the Biblical doctrine of grace, and a hearty endorsement of that denial was the first step for anyone who would understand the Gospel and come to faith in God. The man who has not yet practically and experimentally learned the bondage of his will in sin has not yet comprehended any part of the Gospel" "Justification by faith only is a truth that needs interpretation. The principle of sola fide [by faith alone] is not rightly understood till it is seen as anchored in the broader principle of sola gratia [by grace alone]; . . . for to rely on ones self for faith is not different in principle from relying on ones self for works" The Bible teaches that faith itself is and has to be, a gift of God, by grace, and not of self (Ephesians 2:8). It is safe to deduce that for Luther, any evangelist who advocates free will has not only ''not yet comprehended any part of the Gospel,'' but also that he has not yet preached the Gospel at all; his is a counterfeit gospel.Luther was ordered to recant his teachings on threat of excommunication. Luther thundered, ''Unless I am convinced by Scriptures and plain reason [for Luther, this meant logic], my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything. Here I stand, I can do no other!" [From a review in The Trinity Review] Martin Luther (1483-1546) shattered the structure of the Medieval Church by demanding that the authority for doctrine and practice be the Scriptures rather than popes or councils, and ignited the famous Protestant Reformation. The Roman Catholic hierarchy could not refute his logic, so they attempted to have him killed. But he was protected by Frederic. It has been said that more books have been written about Luther than about any other person except Jesus Christ. 164 pages, hard cover [via]

Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics:One of the leading popularizers of classical learning in the nineteenth century, Thomas Bulfinch made the myths and legends of the ancient and medieval world available to American audiences through his three decisive works, The Age of Fable, The Age of Chivalry, and Legends of Charlemagne, collectively published and widely known as Bulfinchs Mythology.A banking clerk by day, Bulfinch spent his nights skillfully weaving often disparate versions of classical and medieval mythology into a coherent whole. The thoroughness with which he combed through his sources made his mythological books standard reference guides for many years, while the vigor of his storytelling enthralled generations of readers. Written to teach mythology not as a study but as a relaxation from study, these timeless volumes span the ages: The Age Of Fable describes the gods and goddesses of Greece and Rome, as well as the mythology of the Germanic tribes, England, and the Near East; The Age of Chivalry tells the story of King Arthur and his court, Lancelot and Guinevere, and the death of Arthur; and Legends of Charlemagne gives a thrilling account of the reign of the first great French emperor, his wars, and his conquests.Charles Martin is a poet and translator. His verse translation of Ovids Metamorphoses was published in 2003 by W. W. Norton and received the Harold Morton Landon Award from the Academy of American Poets for 2004. His most recent book of poems, Starting from Sleep: New and Selected Poems, published in 2002 by the Sewanee Writers Series/The Overlook Press, was a finalist for the Lenore Marshall Award of the Academy of American Poets.More editions of Bulfinch's Mythology: The Age of Chivalry Legends of King Arthur:

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American Westby Dee Alexander BrownISBN 0030853222 (0-03-085322-2)
Hardcover, Holt, Rinehart & Winston
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West'Book summary:First published in 1970, this extraordinary book changed the way Americans think about the original inhabitants of their country. Beginning with the Long Walk of the Navajos in 1860 and ending 30 years later with the massacre of Sioux men, women, and children at Wounded Knee in South Dakota, it tells how the American Indians lost their land and lives to a dynamically expanding white society. During these three decades, America's population doubled from 31 million to 62 million. Again and again, promises made to the Indians fell victim to the ruthlessness and greed of settlers pushing westward to make new lives. The Indians were herded off their ancestral lands into ever-shrinking reservations, and were starved and killed if they resisted. It is a truism that "history is written by the victors"; for the first time, this book described the opening of the West from the Indians' viewpoint. Accustomed to stereotypes of Indians as red savages, white Americans were shocked to read the reasoned eloquence of Indian leaders and learn of the bravery with which they and their peoples endured suffering. With meticulous research and in measured language overlaying brutal narrative, Dee Brown focused attention on a national disgrace. Still controversial but with many of its premises now accepted, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee has sold 5 million copies around the world. Thirty years after it first broke onto the national conscience, it has lost none of its importance or emotional impact. --John Stevenson [via]

The Discoverers: A History of Man's Search to Know His World and Himselfby Daniel BoorstinISBN 1842122274 (1-84212-227-4)
Softcover, Sterling Pub Co Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Discoverers: A History of Man's Search to Know His World and Himself'Book summary:Perhaps the greatest book by one of our greatest historians, The Discoverers is a volume of sweeping range and majestic interpretation. To call it a history of science is an understatement; this is the story of how humankind has come to know the world, however incompletely ("the eternal mystery of the world," Einstein once said, "is its comprehensibility"). Daniel J. Boorstin first describes the liberating concept of time--"the first grand discovery"--and continues through the age of exploration and the advent of the natural and social sciences. The approach is idiosyncratic, with Boorstin lingering over particular figures and accomplishments rather than rushing on to the next set of names and dates. It's also primarily Western, although Boorstin does ask (and answer) several interesting questions: Why didn't the Chinese "discover" Europe and America? Why didn't the Arabs circumnavigate the planet? His thesis about discovery ultimately turns on what he calls "illusions of knowledge." If we think we know something, then we face an obstacle to innovation. The great discoverers, Boorstin shows, dispel the illusions and reveal something new about the world.
Although The Discoverers easily stands on its own, it is technically the first entry in a trilogy that also includes The Creators and The Seekers. An outstanding book--one of the best works of history to be found anywhere. --John J. Miller [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of Crowds'Book summary:Why do otherwise intelligent individuals form seething masses of idiocy when they engage in collective action? Why do financially sensible people jump lemming-like into hare-brained speculative frenzies--only to jump broker-like out of windows when their fantasies dissolve? We may think that the Great Crash of 1929, junk bonds of the '80s, and over-valued high-tech stocks of the '90s are peculiarly 20th century aberrations, but Mackay's classic--first published in 1841--shows that the madness and confusion of crowds knows no limits, and has no temporal bounds. These are extraordinarily illuminating,and, unfortunately, entertaining tales of chicanery, greed and naivete. Essential reading for any student of human nature or the transmission of ideas.
In fact, cases such as Tulipomania in 1624--when Tulip bulbs traded at a higher price than gold--suggest the existence of what I would dub "Mackay's Law of Mass Action:" when it comes to the effect of social behavior on the intelligence of individuals, 1+1 is often less than 2, and sometimes considerably less than 0.

She clarifies unique and complex relationships among Indian peoples and dispels many of the false pretenses promoted by United States agencies over two centuries. In Part 2, Kehoe surveys some of the theories used to analyze the events described in Part 1, allowing readers to see how theories develop, to think critically about various perspectives, and to draw their own conclusions. Kehoes gripping presentation and analysis pave the way for just and constructive IndianWhite relations. [via]

The Internet is increasingly shaping, and being shaped by, users' lives. From cybercafes to businesses, from middle class houses to squatters settlements, the authors have gathered material on subjects as varied as personal relations, commerce, sex and religion. Websites are also analyzed as new cultural formations acting as aesthetic traps. At every point, email chat and surfing are found to be exploited in ways that bring out both unforeseen attributes of the Internet and the contradictions of modern life. The material, taken from ethnographic work in Trinidad, adds depth to earlier discussions about the Internet as an expansion of space, the changes it effects to time and personhood, and the new political economy of the information age. A tie-in with the book's own website provides further illustrations.[via]More editions of The Internet: An Ethnographic Approach:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Of Grammatology'Book summary:The author is one of the most acclaimed thinker, and expounder of philosophic process of thought of our time. Influence enough to have affected the entire French critical scene, Jacques Derrida has been hailed as the most important philosopher in France today. His ideas of reading and writing, his notion of de-construction, his reinterpretations of phenomenology, of psychoanalysis, and of strucuralism have profoundly influenced the vanguard of European and American criticism and have occasioned lively controversy. Derrida`s philosophical background baffles some literary critics. This role of exposing the common assumption shared by combatants in a controversy raises Derrida`s importance above merely the French scene. [via]

Reimagining Culture: Histories, Identities and the Gaelic Renaissanceby Sharon MacDonaldISBN 1859739857 (1-85973-985-7)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Reimagining Culture: Histories, Identities and the Gaelic Renaissance'Book summary:Since the 1960s, policies to 'revive' minority cultures and languages have flourished. But what does it mean to have a 'cultural identity'? And are minorities as deeply attached to their languages and traditions as revival policies suppose? This book is a sophisticated analysis of responses to the 'Gaelic renaissance' in a Scottish Hebridean community. Its description of everyday conceptions of belonging and interpretations of cultural policy takes us into the world of Gaelic playgroups, crofting, local history, religion and community development. Historically and theoretically informed, this book challenges many of the ways in which we conventionally think about ethnic and national identity.[via]
This accessible and engaging account of life in this remote region of Europe provides an original and timely contribution to questions of considerable currency in a broad range of social science disciplines.More editions of Reimagining Culture: Histories, Identities and the Gaelic Renaissance:

They Have a Word for It: A Lighthearted Lexicon of Untranslatable Words and Phrasesby Howard RheingoldISBN 1889330469 (1-889330-46-9)
Softcover, Sarabande Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'They Have a Word for It: A Lighthearted Lexicon of Untranslatable Words and Phrases'Book summary:Which came first: The worldview, or the words to describe it? Very possibly the latter, argues the author of They Have a Word for It. "Finding a name for something," says Howard Rheingold, "is a way of conjuring its existence." While collecting words for this book, Rheingold says he "became sympathetic to the idea that we think and behave the way we do in large part because we have words that make these thoughts and behaviors possible, acceptable, and useful." Rheingold's refusal to pull together words for entertainment value alone--though many of these words, and Rheingold's commentary on them, are highly entertaining--is what has given this book (previously out of print) a kind of cult following.
Hawaiian contributes a word (ho'oponopono) here that means "solving a problem by talking it out"; Japanese, a term (kyoikumama) for a "mother who pushes her children into academic achievement"; Indonesian, a word (kekaku) meaning "to awaken from a nightmare"; and Mayan (some things, it seems, are universal), a concise way to say "stupid in-laws" (bol). While it is the Asian and obscure linguistic groups that seem to come up with the most "powerful" ideas, German wins for packing a whole sentence's worth of meaning into one (albeit long) word. How much happier Strunk and White would rest if we could just say Torschlüsspanik when discussing "the frantic anxiety experienced by unmarried women as they race against the 'biological clock'"; Treppenwitz when referring to the "clever remark that comes to mind when it is too late to utter it"; and Schlimmbesserung when lamenting "a so-called improvement that makes things worse." --Jane Steinberg [via]

The Two Worlds of the Washo, an Indian Tribe of California and Nevadaby James F. DownsISBN 003056610X (0-03-056610-X)
Softcover, Holt Rinehart & Winston
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Two Worlds of the Washo, an Indian Tribe of California and Nevada'Book summary:This case study of the Washo Indians of western Nevada and the eastern Sierra slopes of California is one of those rare events in the vast professional literature on the American Indian where a picture of a single tribal culture as a whole is presented. Though Washo culture in its traditional form has virtually ceased to exist at all, its disappearance was gradual enough and its relatively full appearance recent enough so that Professor Downs has been able to put the memories of the older Washo together with known history and knowledge of the culture area to form a coherent and dynamic reconstruction of the traditional Washo way of life. But he never forgets history. There is a sense of time in the book, which is so often lacking in attempts to reconstruct traditional cultures. Even as the traditional patterns of subsistence techniques, of rituals and religion of kinship and social organization are described, the reader anticipates the dramatic changes in the Washo world to be wrought by the coming of the white man. Each stage of readjustment brought about by this event is analyzed. The Washo are not seen in isolation, but as part of the development of the region and its economy. They interact with and are interdependent with whites in the earlier stages of contact. But then the needs of the white man's economy change and there is no longer any place for most of the Washo. The Washo adapt to this circumstance, as they have adapted to previous conditions. In doing so they exhibit some continuities with the past and their traditional culture and at the same time adopt new patterns of behavior. This is not a happy world for the Washo. For some poverty and uselessness sap their vitality and destroy motivation, but the Washo identity is retained, and the Washo continue to cope with life as it is. [via]

Softcover, Distribooks Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Lasst Knochen Sprechen'Book summary:Kathy Reichs' forensische Anthropologin Temperance Brennan wird außerhalb ihrer Routinetätigkeiten stets dann zu Rate gezogen, wenn Opfer von Gewaltverbrechen nun beim besten Willen nicht mehr zu identifizieren sind. Und wenn der Leser dann den sicheren Eindruck gewinnt, dass die Heldin vor diversen Knochenhaufen und Gewebefetzen kapitulieren muss, kriegt sie doch wieder die Kurve.
Die couragierte Brennan hat sich diesen zuweilen recht unappetitlichen Job selbst zuzuschreiben, war ihr doch vor Jahren ihre rein archäologische Arbeit ein wenig fad geworden. Auch in ihrem neuen Fall steht die "Knochenbeschwörerin" zunächst vor einem schier unlösbaren Problem. Ein kleines Mädchen wurde unschuldiges Opfer eines Bandenkampfes von kriminellen Bikern. Zwei Mitglieder einer Biker-Gang wurden außerdem von rivalisierenden Genossen in die Luft gejagt -- an Tempe Brennan liegt es nun, die Teile korrekt zu sortieren. Doch damit beginnen erst die dramatischen Ermittlungen in einem Krieg verfeindeter Motorradgangs, die um die Kontrolle des Drogenhandels in Montreal kämpfen. Zudem ist Brennan nervlich stark angekratzt. Ihr Freund Ryan, selbst Polizist, scheint ins kriminelle Milieu abgedriftet zu sein und wurde bereits von der Arbeit suspendiert. Ihre zugeteilten Kollegen Claudel und Quickwater scheinen sie alles andere als ernst zu nehmen. Richtig haarig wird es dann, als Tempes Neffe Kit, auf Besuch in Montreal und selbst Motorradfan, in den Dunstkreis der Biker und damit in höchste Lebensgefahr gerät. Die Anthropologin sieht sich zum Handeln außerhalb ihres Labors gezwungen.
Kathy Reichs schlägt in ihrem neuen Roman zunächst eine ruhige Gangart an, vermag jedoch Spannung und Tempo bis zu einem fulminanten Showdown stetig zu steigern. Dabei werden die meisten Leser über die zuweilen arg akademisch anmutenden Dialoge und die Selbstverständlichkeit, mit der wieder einmal eine Ermittlerin persönlich in einen Fall involviert ist, wohlwollend hinweglesen. --Ulrich Deurer [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'A-Sun Wu: Un Itinerari Entre Mestissatge I Expressionisme Sala D'exposicions Del Govern, Del 22 De Maig Al 30 De Juny Del 2002'Book summary:The author writes: The two long pieces in this book originally came out in The New Yorker ? RAISE HIGH THE ROOF BEAM, CARPENTERS in 1955, SEYMOUR ? An Introduction in 1959. Whatever their differences in mood or effect, they are both very much concerned with Seymour Glass, who is the main character in my still-uncompleted series about the Glass family. It struck me that they had better be collected together, if not deliberately paired off, in something of a hurry, if I mean them to avoid unduly or undesirably close contact with new material in the series. There is only my word for it, granted, but I have several new Glass stories coming along ? waxing, dilating ? each in its own way, but I suspect the less said about them, in mixed company, the better. Oddly, the joys and satisfactions of working on the Glass family peculiarly increase and deepen for me with the years. I can't say why, though. Not, at least, outside the casino proper of my fiction.
