This first book in a three-volume collection of Georges Bataille's essays introduces English readers to his philosophical and critical writings. In the aftermath of the Second World War, French thinker and writer Georges Bataille forged a singular path through the moral and political impasses of his age. In 1946, animated by "a need to live events in an increasingly conscious way," and to reject any compartmentalization of intellectual life, Bataille founded the journal Critique. Adopting the format of the review essay, he surveyed the post-war cultural landscape while advancing his reflections on excess, non-knowledge, and the general economy. Focusing on literature as a mode of sovereign uselessness, he tackled prominent and divisive figures such as Henry Miller and Albert Camus. In keeping with Critique's mission to explore the totality of human knowledge, Bataille's articles did not just focus on the literary but featured important reflections on the science...

El propósito de este libro es estudiar la retoricidad del mensaje publicitario y poner de manifiesto la amplísima serie de posibilidades de colaboración mutua que ofrecen la retórica tradicional y la moderna publicística. Hay quienes, exagerando, afirman que la publicística es la retórica de nuestros días. Pero, de lo que no cabe duda es de que la multisecular tradición retórica resulta utilísima a la moderna ciencia de la comunicación social y muy en concreto a la politología y la publicística. La vieja imagen del orador se ha trocado hoy en día en la nueva del comunicador, pero aún a éste no le sobra en absoluto el conocimiento de la teoría y las reglas de la retórica tradicional aderezada por la lingüística moderna. Adoptando la perspectiva de la lingüística pragmática, se pasa revista a las coincidencias y discrepancias entre los respectivos resultados del acto de habla retórico y del acto de habla publicístico. Se establecen así los contornos, en parte comparables y en parte disti...

Two of Locke's most mature and influential political writings and three brilliant interpretive essays combined in an outstanding volume "The new standard edition of Locke for students of political theory. Dunn, Grant, and Shapiro combine authoritative historical scholarship and contemporary political theory to give us Locke for our time."-Elisabeth H. Ellis, Texas A&M University Among the most influential writings in the history of Western political thought, John Locke's Two Treatises of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration remainvital to political debates today, more than three centuries after they were written.

Ian Shapiro's introduction places Locke's political writings in historical and biographical context. John Dunn explores both the intellectual context in which Locke wrote the Two Treatises of Government and A Letter Concernin...

Each new title from Herve Tullet invites children to travel further into an intensely creative interaction with the book itself. Previously "Imagine", "The Scribble Book" and "The Colouring Book" brought a whole new sense of anarchic fun to children's activity titles. Now "The Book with a Hole" blasts a hole through the middle of the book itself. Sometimes the Hole is an eye the reader can look through, sometimes it is a mouth and the reader's fingers make the teeth! The next minute it is a plate (with food drawn by the reader on a sheet of paper behind the book), an obstacle to jump across or a saucepan. It's crazy! It's a Book with a Hole! Packed full of Tullet's zany drawings and inventive ideas, this is bound to enchant children of all ages. Product details For ages 0-5 ...

In his first book since What Went Wrong? Bernard Lewis examines the historical roots of the resentments that dominate the Islamic world today and that are increasingly being expressed in acts of terrorism. He looks at the theological origins of political Islam and takes us through the rise of militant Islam in Iran, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, examining the impact of radical Wahhabi proselytizing, and Saudi oil money, on the rest of the Islamic world. The Crisis of Islam ranges widely through thirteen centuries of history, but in particular it charts the key events of the twentieth century leading up to the violent confrontations of today: the creation of the state of Israel, the Cold War, the Iranian Revolution, the Soviet defeat in Afghanistan, the Gulf War, and the September 11th attacks on the United States. While hostility toward the West has a long and varied history in the lands of Islam, its current concentration on America is new. So too is the cult of the suicide bomber. Brillia...
