Identities & Security in East Asia
East Asia has been relatively free of large-scale warfare in the 1990s. However, the region's lack of security organizations or even of a sense of community has made many observers uneasy about the future. This paper assesses the prospects for future stability by taking up questions of identities as an important element motivating or constraining policy-making in the region. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - New Item: 461403826

The Oxford Book of Short Poems
Memorable, witty, bawdy, profound--the short poem observes no limits except those of length. They can range from subjects as diverse as a child's first words, a woman's feet, or human destiny. The verses within this collection vary greatly in theme, style, and tone, but in every case, brevity reveals the poets at their best, both as individual artists and as exemplars of their times. The short poem is often overlooked in verse collections, where poets tend to be represented by their Longer, more sustained work. Defining 'short' as any poem of under fourteen lines, P. J. Kavanagh and James Michie have chosen those poems they consider to be the best in the English language, from medieval times to the present day. Their selection extends from Chaucer to Philip Larkin, from Shakespeare to Emily Bronte, from Blake to Edith Sitwell, and from Yeats to Emily Dickinson, demonstrating the gradual changes in style, subject-matter, and tone from one generation of poets to the next. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - New Item: 461662549

Pushing Time Away My Grandfather and the Tragedy of Jewish Vienna
'What binds us pushes time away' wrote David Oppenheim to his future wife, Amalie Pollak, on March 24, 1905. Oppenheim, classical scholar, collaborator, then critic of Sigmund Freud, and friend and supporter of Alfred Adler, lived through the heights and depths of Vienna's twentieth-century intellectual and cultural history. He perished in obscurity at a Nazi concentration camp in 1943, separated from family and friends, leaving his grandson, the philosopher Peter Singer, without a chance to know him. Almost fifty years later Peter Singer set out to explore the life of the grandfather he never knew, and found a scholar whose ideas on ethics and human nature often parallel his own writings. Drawing on a wealth of documents and personal letters, Singer made startling discoveries about his grandparents' early romantic attachments, the basis on which they decide to marry, their professional aspirations, and their differing views of Judaism. An essay that Oppenheim co-wrote with Freud, but which was suppressed because of a bitter split within Freud's psychoanalyti - Books/Reading - Misc. - Used - 461107957
