The Bromeliad Trilogy Truckers Diggers and Wings

In a world whose seasons are defined by Christmas sales and Spring Fashions, hundreds of tiny nomes live in the corners and crannies of a human-run department store. They have made their homes beneath the floorboards for generations and no longer remember -- or even believe in -- life beyond the Store walls. Until the day a small band of nomes arrives at the Store from the Outside. Led by a young nome named Masklin, the Outsiders carry a mysterious black box (called the Thing), and they deliver devastating news: In twenty-one days, the Store will be destroyed. Now all the nomes must learn to work together, and they must learn to think -- and to think BIG. Part satire, part parable, and part adventure story par excellence, master storyteller Terry Pratchett’ s engaging trilogy traces the nomes’ flight and search for safety, a search that leads them to discover their own astonishing origins and takes them beyond their wildest dreams. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461509968 - The Bromeliad Trilogy Truckers Diggers and Wings

Predicates and Temporal Arguments

Liberalism and Affirmative Obligation

In this compelling book, Patricia Smith considers what a consistently liberal view of affirmative obligation would have to be in order to both accomodate liberal commitments to freedom and justice and to account for institutions central to Liberal democratic society. Smith demonstrates that taking these institutions seriously requires rejecting atomistic individualism for a moderate view of social obligation. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461124411 - Liberalism and Affirmative Obligation in store

Classic Asian Philosophy A Guide to the Essential Texts

In recent years, Asian philosophies have captured increasing attention in the West, setting off a profusion of new translations of classic Asian philosophical texts. Yet these texts are often inaccessible to Western readers because of subtleties of the concepts and difficulties inherent in reading across cultures. The only book of its kind, Classic Asian Philosophy is an highly accessible guide to philosophy and culture, which gives someone new to Asian philosophy a clear sense of its most foundational and widely available texts, ranging from the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita through Confucius to Zen.

When Information Came of Age Technologies of Knowledge in the Age of Reason and Revolution 1700-1850

Although the Information Age is often described as a new era, a cultural leap springing directly from the invention of modern computers, it is in fact the latest step in a long cultural process. Its conceptual roots stretch back to the profound changes that occurred during the Age of Reason and Revolution. When Information Came of Age argues that the key to the present era lies in understanding the systems developed in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to gather, store, transform, display, and communicate information. The book provides a concise and readable survey of the many conceptual developments between 1700 and 1850 and draws connections to leading technologies of today. It documents three breakthroughs in information systems that date to the period: the classification and nomenclature of Linneaus, the chemical system devised by Lavoisier, and the metric system. It includes discussions of pioneering work in cartography, the graphical representation of information, and the first steps in codifying and transmitting data.
