Описание:
"No one can understand how feminism has evolved without reading this radical, inflammatory second-wave landmark." -Naomi Wolf
Originally published in 1970, when Shulamith Firestone was just twenty-five years old, and going on to become a bestseller, The Dialectic of Sex was the first book of the women's liberation movement to put forth a feminist theory of politics.
Beginning with a look at the radical and grassroots history of the first wave (with its foundation in the abolition movement of the time), Firestone documents its major victory, the granting of the vote to women in 1920, and the fifty years of ridicule that followed. She goes on to deftly synthesize the work of Freud, Marx, de Beauvoir, and Engels to create a cogent argument for feminist revolution. Identifying women as a caste, she declares that they must seize the means of reproduction-for as long as women (and only women) are required to bear and rear children, they will be singled out as inferior.
Ultimately she presents feminism as the key radical ideology, the missing link between Marx and Freud, uniting their visions of the political and the personal.
In the wake of recent headlines bemoaning women's squandered fertility and the ongoing debate over the appropriate role of genetics in the future of humanity, The Dialectic of Sex is revealed as remarkably relevant to today's society-a testament to Shulamith Firestone's startlingly prescient vision. Firestone died in 2012, but her ideas live on through this extraordinary book.

Описание:
TAGLINE: While vacationing in Paris 20 years ago, the lives of an American family collide with the fatal automobile crash of the world's most beloved Princess. INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY.
Princess Diana was killed on August 31, 1997 in an automobile collision in Paris. Where were you when you heard the news? Everybody has an answer, but nobody has an answer quite like Robin and Jack Firestone, the wife-and-husband team who have co-authored this remarkable tome "CHASING DIANA: PERCEPTION VS. REALITY."
Diana fan or not, it matters not, as "this ain't your father's Diana book"... there's WIDE READERSHIP APPEAL in these pages, as "CHASING DIANA: PERCEPTION VS. REALITY" is, at its organic core, an intriguing murder mystery and an international conspiracy-laden crime story... all experienced by a dysfunctional American family who unwittingly get thrust into the entire horrific misadventure, which only serves to further complicate their familial debilitation. Can they emerge unscathed?
Simple happenstance and the capriciousness of life places them at the seminal historic moment of the shocking death of Princess Diana in this dramatic, though breezy and light thriller/drama. A bit off-the-wall at times, yet always laced with a serious dose of wry humor and pathos, this book has the quirky endearing feel of THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL but with the macabre darkness and ironic style of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN. With an urbane sensibility coupled with a universally recognized subject matter, "CHASING DIANA: PERCEPTION VS. REALITY" is alluring to international audiences. And you'll want to devour the read in one sitting
Also included in this SPECIAL EDITION volume is a very rare Afterword, as the reader experiences a behind-the-scenes look at the trial that shook Great Britain to its core. After ten years of trying in vain to bring the truth to the forefront, on December 3, 2007, the Firestones were finally called upon to give live testimony in London at the Royal Courts of Justice for the "Coroner's Inquests into the Deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales and Mr. Dodi al-Fayed." Here, they describe their ordeal for the first time ever in print.
And you'll also be treated to Mr. Firestone's personal journal entitled "Tunnel Vision," written down by him immediately after The Event of 8/31/97, which gives his personal insight to: the immediate witnessing of the car crash wreckage site in which lay Princess Diana, the initial French investigation, the police and the paparazzi and the motorcycle and the car activity in the Alma Tunnel that night. His words speak to the relentlessness and the restlessness of the news media that, even now, attempts to control our lives.
To sum it up: you've NEVER read a Diana book, or ANY book, quite like this one. It is the ultimate "you are there" experience, so buckle your seat belt and enjoy the ride... er, read... as we set the dials on the Wayback Machine for 1997.

She belongs to a group of abolitionists who want to reduce or eliminate the intrusive nature of technology, especially field generators, implanted at an early age at the base of your neck, which spin up the world around you. Her involvement in the abolitionist movement along with her own complicated personal situation take a toll on both her and those closest to her. Finally, she is patient zero in a strange and terrible yet wonderful "plague" that visits the planet, which is somehow related to the mysterious origins of the camp's founder. It divides humans into three groups-lumans, delumans and the unchanged. Her future is resolved in a way that surprises everyone, especially her....

Budding biologist Mary Kate is fascinated by everything about the natural world, so she is thrilled to be invited to participate in a special science class focusing on climate change and environmental issues.

The winner then draws the next pair of prompt cards and the process repeats. - The first player to obtain 10 pairs of prompt cards wins the game. - Easy to play and enjoy in person or over video chat! Punderdome includes: - 200 double-sided cards (100 White and 100 Green) - 2 Mystery Envelopes with fill-in prize slips - 2 80-page pads for drafting puns - 1 instruction card and 1 pun example card - A stu-PUN-dous time for 3 or more players
What Does It Mean to Be "Chosen"? Why Did God Have to Choose?
"To be chosen can have a range of meaning from the mundane to the holy, but in all cases it means to be singled out and preferred over others. In a deep sense that permeates much or most of Western culture, having been chosen communicates a sense of something that is extraordinary, is transcendent, and entitles a reward. What is assumed in this sense of the term is that God has done the choosing and the reward is something that is unequaled, for what could possibly equal divinely ordained eternal happiness?" --from the Introduction
Religious people who define themselves as monotheists have often advanced the idea that their relationship with God is unique and superior to all others. Theirs supersedes those who came before, and is superior to those who have followed. This phenomenon tends to be expressed in terms not only of supersessionism, but also "chosenness," or "election." Who is most beloved by God? What expression of the divine will is the most perfect? Which relationship reflects God's ultimate demands or desire?
In this fascinating examination of the religious phenomenon of chosenness, Reuven Firestone explores the idea of covenant, and the expressions of supersessionism as articulated through the scriptures of the three major monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. He explores how and why the ongoing competition and friction between these religions came about, and offers thoughts about how to overcome it.
