The Economic Limits to Modern Politics

Cambridge University Press, 1992. Paperback. Pp: 240. The central problem of modern government and political action is how to choose and implement effective economic policies. For this reason, the economic considerations of public policy have assumed a more prominent place in contemporary political thought. Despite efforts among political scientists, economists, and sociologists to fathom the complexities of this added dimension, none of these solid sciences offers a satisfying approach to the problem. This volume attempts to display the historical novelty and intellectual importance of this dilemma, to uncover its origins, and to procure a remedy through a clearer and steadier focus. The book's contributors range from historians of ideas to economic theorists, who bring the approach of their own intellectual discipline to bear upon the issue. ISBN: 9780521421515.

The Lady of Misrule

Little, Brown Book Group, 2015. Paperback. Pp: 312. I saw her file it away: a good Catholic girl come to supervise her in her detention. Every girl in England, now, under the circumstances, made sure to be a good Catholic girl. Except her, of course. And, if only she knew it, me. Escorting 'nine days queen' Lady Jane Grey across the Tower of London from throne room into imprisonment is Elizabeth Tilney, who surprised even herself by volunteering for the job. All Elizabeth knows is she's keen to be away from home, she could do with some breathing space. And anyway, it won't be for long: everyone knows Jane will go free as soon as the victorious new queen is crowned. Which is a good thing because the two sixteen-year-olds, cooped up together in a room in the Gentleman Gaoler's house, couldn't be less compatible. Protestant Jane is an icily self-composed idealist, and catholic Elizabeth is. well, anything but. They are united though by their disdain for the seventeen-year-old to whom Jane has recently been married off: petulant, noisily-aggrieved Guildford Dudley, held prisoner in a neighbouring tower and keen to pursue his prerogative of a daily walk with his wife. As Jane's captivity extends into the increasingly turbulent last months of 1553, the two girls learn to live with each other, but Elizabeth finds herself drawn into the difficult relationship between the newlyweds. And when, at the turn of the year, events take an unexpected and dangerous direction, her newfound loyalties are put to the test. ISBN: 9781408704677. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

De man met het gebroken hart. Een ontdekkingsreis langs hart en vaten

Atlas, 2015. Paperback. Pp: 415. Op een warme dag in 1893 besloot een man in een armzalig ziekenhuis in Chicago voor het allereerst in de geschiedenis een openhartoperatie uit te voeren. Tegelijkertijd zette hij het mes in eeuwenoude opvattingen over het hart en maakte hij de weg vrij voor nieuwe ontwikkelingen op het gebied van biologie, evolutie, kunst, sanitaire inrichting en kernfysica. In De man met het gebroken hart vertelt Rob Dunn over de mannen en vrouwen die aan de vooravond stonden van medische revoluties van het hart, van Leonardo da Vinci die zeer nauwkeurige tekeningen maakte van het menselijk lichaam, Werner Forssmann, die met gevaar voor eigen leven een katheter bij zichzelf inbracht, en Wilson Greatbatch, die een pacemaker ontwierp die tot op de dag van vandaag gebruikt wordt.

A Natural History of the Future

Basic Books, 2022. Paperback. Pp: 320. Over the past century, our species has made unprecedented technological innovations with which we have sought to control nature. In A Natural History of the Future, biologist Rob Dunn argues that such efforts are futile. We may see ourselves as life's overlords, but we are instead at its mercy. In the evolution of antibiotic resistance, the power of natural selection to create biodiversity, and even the surprising life of the London Underground, Dunn finds laws of life that no human activity can annul. When we create artificial islands of crops, dump toxic waste, or build communities, we provide new materials for old laws to shape. Life's future flourishing is not in question. Ours is.A Natural History of the Future sets a new standard for understanding the diversity and destiny of life itself. ISBN: 9781399800143. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

The Political Thought of John Locke

Cambridge University Press, 1969. Paperback. Pp: 290. This study provides a comprehensive reinterpretation of the meaning of Locke's political thought. John Dunn restores Locke's ideas to their exact context, and so stresses the historical question of what Locke in the Two Treatises of Government was intending to claim. By adopting this approach, he reveals the predominantly theological character of all Locke's thinking about politics and provides a convincing analysis of the development of Locke's thought. In a polemical concluding section, John Dunn argues that liberal and Marxist interpretations of Locke's politics have failed to grasp his meaning. Locke emerges as not merely a contributor to the development of English constitutional thought, or as a reflector of socio-economic change in seventeenth-century England, but as essentially a Calvinist natural theologian.

Saints: the chosen few

Ballantine Books, 1994. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 254. Near the heart of the world's great religions stand saints - transcendently holy men and women whose "otherness" serves as an example of God's grace to ordinary believers everywhere. As miracle workers, healers, and teachers, saints are the most tangible manifestation of God's loving power. They are deeply mysterious as well, for they are both wholly human and have privileged contact with the divine. Lavishly illustrated, here is a glorious, multicultural tribute to the God-filled men and women who keep the flame of faith alive among us. Like the saints themselves, Saints: The Chosen Few reminds us that life is wider, deeper, and more mysterious than it often appears in the light of our small, everyday struggles. ISBN: 9780345383822.

Sentinel

Orion Publishing Group, Limited, 2013. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 320. The United States and Russia are on the brink of war and only Will Cochrane - the master spy introduced in the critically acclaimed SPYCATCHER - can find and unmask the diabolical double-agent responsible for it all. Fourteen days ago, CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, received a cryptic message from an agent operating deep undercover in Russia: 'He has betrayed us and wants to go to war.' Unable to make contact, the Director of Operations is forced to turn to one of his most deadly field officers - Will Cochrane. His mission is simple: infiltrate the remote submarine base in eastern Russia's Avacha Bay, locate the MI6 agent operating under the codename 'Svelte', and decode his message - or die trying. It's a near impossible task, even for a man who carries the codename Spartan, a title given to only the most effective and deadliest Western intelligence officers. Will successfully locates the base, but finds Svelte near death, his last words a final clue: 'Only Sentinel can stop him.' Meanwhile, political and economic tensions between the U.S. and Russia are rising by the day, with both sides rounding up known enemy sleeper agents within their borders for interrogation. Now it's up to Will - with the help of the top-secret joint CIA-MI6 Spartan Section - to uncover the true meaning of Svelte's message and discover the identity of the legendary operative known only as 'Sentinel'.
