Описание: Named one of the Ten Best Books of 2016 by the New York Times, a spirited account of a major intellectual movement of the twentieth century and the revolutionary thinkers who came to shape it, by the best-selling author of How to Live Sarah Bakewell. Paris, 1933: three contemporaries meet over apricot cocktails at the Bec-de-Gaz bar on the rue Montparnasse. They are the young Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and longtime friend Raymond Aron, a fellow philosopher who raves to them about a new conceptual framework from Berlin called Phenomenology. "You see," he says, "if you are a phenomenologist you can talk about this cocktail and make philosophy out of it " It was this simple phrase that would ignite a movement, inspiring Sartre to integrate Phenomenology into his own French, humanistic sensibility, thereby creating an entirely new philosophical approach inspired by themes of radical freedom, authentic being, and political activism. This movement would sweep through the jazz clubs and cafes of the Left Bank before making its way across the world as Existentialism. Featuring not only philosophers, but also playwrights, anthropologists, convicts, and revolutionaries, At the Existentialist Cafe follows the existentialists' story, from the first rebellious spark through the Second World War, to its role in postwar liberation movements such as anti-colonialism, feminism, and gay rights. Interweaving biography and philosophy, it is the epic account of passionate encounters--fights, love affairs, mentorships, rebellions, and long partnerships--and a vital investigation into what the existentialists have to offer us today, at a moment when we are once again confronting the major questions of freedom, global responsibility, and human authenticity in a fractious and technology-driven world.

Описание:
Decolonizing the Caribbean Record: An Archives Reader is a compendium of forty essays by archivists and academics within and outside of the Caribbean region that address challenges of collecting, representing and preserving the records and cultural expressions of former colonial societies, exploring the contribution of these records to nation-building. How the power of the archives can be subverted to serve the oppressed rather than the oppressors, the colonized rather than the colonizers, is the central theme of this Reader. This collection seeks to disrupt traditional notions of archives, instead re-imagining records within the context of Caribbean cultures and identities where the oral may be privileged over the written, the creative design over text, the marginal over the mainstream. Envisioned initially as a foundational text that supports the archives education program at the University of the West Indies and documents the history and development of archives and records in the Caribbean, this volume addresses such issues as oral traditions, records repatriation, community archives, cultural forms and format and diasporic collections. Although focused on the Caribbean region, the essays, ranging from the theoretical to the practice-based to the personal are applicable to the global archival concerns of all decolonized societies.

Описание:
Holly Folly is approaching, and Sydney Riley is feeling far from festive. She hasn't heard from her boyfriend in weeks, a mysterious stranger has crashed into her beloved "little green car," and, in a moment of temporary insanity, she's invited her parents for the holidays. She's convinced things could not possibly get worse--until she stumbles over a body at the lighting of the lobster pot Christmas tree.
As if this is not enough, when a gold coin and nameplate of a missing fishing boat are discovered, she's asked to investigate the unsolved mystery of a murdered fisherman. While Provincetown is aglow with holiday lights and events, Sydney, Provincetown's unofficial sleuth, is in the dark but determined to uncover the motive for both murders.

Описание: To Slip the Surly Bonds--NASA, The Shuttle Disasters and the Demise of the U.S. Manned Space Flight Program" enters into the world of NASA and tells the story of not just why the shuttle disasters happened, but exposes NASA's inner workings. NASA has been gutted by various Presidential administrations. Congress has also had a field day with budget cuts, devastating the program with pork barrel projects and confusion regarding the United States and its place in the Space Program. NASA too, has been its own worst enemy due to its static, bureaucratic way of doing internal business. China, North Korea, Japan and other nations are forging their way to the stars while NASA sits on an empty launch pad waiting for the next crumb to be tossed its way. The U.S. commercial aerospace sector has had some success with reaching the space station with robotic cargo flights, but there is nothing for reaching past the lower earth orbit. "To Slip the Surly Bonds" explores the intricacies of how and why NASA was created, the Manned Space Program, how the shuttle disasters happened and why and why and the United States' place in the space frontier, along with the loss of our most precious resource, the space program and manned space flight.
