This book was first published in 1970 and was a call to take heed of the looming "Future Shock" or backlash of humanities biggest, unresolved dilemmas such as: the widening disparity between rich and poor, ie, the wealth of the world being monopolized by smaller and smaller percentage of the world human population, while the growing number of poor or outright poverty stricken are growing by leaps and bounds; burgeoning human population pressures with it's ever-increasing demands on limited resources; pollution of the food chains; technology with it's blessings and baggage of intrusive, dehumanizing side-effects; world health crisis, etc. ...

In the tradition of Bertrand Russell’s and Sam Harris’s recent bestseller, , Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos. With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope’s awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix.
"The computer world is like an intellectual Wild West, in which you can shoot anyone you wish with your ideas, if you're willing to risk the consequences. " —from , by Paul Graham We are living in the computer age, in a world increasingly designed and engineered by computer programmers and software designers, by people who call themselves hackers. Who are these people, what motivates them, and why should you care? Consider these facts: Everything around us is turning into computers. Your typewriter is gone, replaced by a computer. Your phone has turned into a computer. So has your camera. Soon ...

Stealthily advancing, the globalists and socialists at the United Nations, and in the United States itself, are trying to dilute our national sovereignty, undermine our democratic values, and mandate massive transfers of our wealth and technology to third world countries. They want to create a “global governance” where binding and critical decisions are made by the UN and international commissions, instead of by our elected officials.They want to make us citizens of the world, and it means the end of annoying democratic institutions. Economic prosperity will be punished. All countries will be equal, rich and poor, ...

Beginning with "Welcome to South Florida", a chapter introducing such everyday events as animal sacrifice, riots at the beach, and a shootout over limes at the supermarket, this collection organizes over 200 columns into 18 chapters, chronicling events and defining the issues that have kept the South Florida melting pot bubbling throughout the '80s and '90s. An introductory essay provides an overview of Hiassen's career and outlines his principal concerns as a journalist.
" Du m?canique plaqu? sur du vivant ". Cette formule n'est pas elle-m?me plaqu?e m?caniquement par Bergson sur le rire! Bien au contraire, c'est un Bergson ? la fois psychologue, sociologue, philosophe de l'art et moraliste qui ?crit Le Rire. Essai sur la signification du comique en 1900, au c?ur d'une ?uvre dont ce livre est une ?tape majeure, et d'un moment dont il traverse tous les enjeux. Une diversit? infinie donc, mais plus que jamais dans une intuition, dans une ?criture d'une simplicit? extr?me qui en font un chef-d'?uvre unique.
Au fil des neuf parties ind?pendantes de cet essai, les m?mes personnages reviennent et se croisent: Stravinski et Kafka avec leurs curieux amis Janacek et Hemingway; Rabelais et ses h?ritiers, les grands romanciers. L'art du roman est le h?ros principal du livre: l'esprit de l'humour dont il est n?; sa myst?rieuse parent? avec la musique; son histoire qui se d?roule (comme celle de la musique) en trois temps; l'esth?tique du troisi?me temps (le roman moderne). Et la sagesse existentielle du roman. Sous son ?clairage sont examin?es les grandes situations de notre ?re: les proc?s moraux intent?s contre l'art du si?cle l'indiscr?tion g?n?ralis?e annon?ant le cr?puscule de l'individualisme; les testaments trahis (de l'Europe, de l'art, de l'art du roman, des auteurs). Prix de la Soci?t? des compositeurs am?ricains pour le meilleur livre sur la musique.
У прозі мене завжди найбільше цікавило саме це — як, у який спосіб історія стає культурою. Як «перекладаються» мовою літератури принципово неохопні оком суспільні процеси, у котрі втягнено мільйони людей. Ця книжка — ні в якому разі не персональна письменницька «хроніка революції», хоча деякі, незнані українському читачеві, інформаційні штрихи до загального тої революції портрета вона, сподіваюсь, і додасть. Але насамперед це спроба відповісти на головне питання, яке мене тоді мучило, — як водночас проживати історію і писати про неї. Як, перебуваючи «всередині» неї, добувати з неї смисл — той, котрий зрештою й відкладається в арсеналі культурної пам'яти народу.
NOTEH. G. Wells visited the Soviet Union in 1934 and on July 23 he interviewed Joseph Stalin. The conversation, lasting from 4 P. M. to 6:50 P. M., was recorded by Constantine Oumansky, then head of the Press Bureau of the Commissariat of Foreign Affairs. The text, as printed in this pamphlet, has been approved by Mr. Wells.
Nonviolent action is the most promising method of moving beyond capitalism to a more humane social and economic system. How can this be achieved? Nonviolence versus Capitalism offers a systematic approach, starting with an analysis of capitalism from the viewpoint of nonviolence, outlining nonviolent economic alternatives and describing what is involved in a nonviolence strategy. A check list for activists is proposed and used to assess diverse campaigns, including workers’ struggles, sabotage, environmental campaigns, social defence, global campaigns and economic alternatives. is associate professor in Science, Technology & Society at the University of Wollongong, Australia. He has studied nonviolent action since the late 1970s, is the author of many books and articles, and has long been involved in activist groups.
