Reclaimed Powers
Author: David Gutmann
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
ISBN: 9780810111202
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
A unique feature of human development is that mothers and fathers are bound to a long period of child-rearing, during which the continuity of our species depends on the fulfilment of distinct parental roles and on the suppression of psychological potentials that conflict with those roles. But once the parental emergency is over, the author argues, men and women can assert those parts of their personalities curbed by the restrictions of raising children. It is this shift in roles - a product of evolution found throughout our species - that led David Gutmann to propose a new psychology of ageing, based not on the threat of loss but on the promise of important new pleasures and capacities.

The 48 Laws of Power
Author: Robert Greene
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0670881465
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control. This is the only authorized hardcover edition in the US. In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.

Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance
Author: Richard Powers
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0063119455
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
Three tales intertwine around a photo of three young men on the brink of WWI in this literary debut by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Overstory. In the spring of 1914, renowned photographer August Sander took a photograph of three young men on their way to a country dance. This haunting image, capturing the last moments of innocence on the brink of World War I, provides the central focus of Powers’s brilliant and compelling novel. As the fate of the three farmers is chronicled, two contemporary stories unfold. The young narrator becomes obsessed with the photo, while Peter Mays, a computer writer in Boston, discovers he has a personal link with it. The three stories connect in a surprising way and offer the reader a glimpse into a mystery that spans a century of brutality and progress. Praise for Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance A National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist “An obsessive, witty, moving, often electrifying whale of a book about nothing less than the twentieth century. . . . An auspicious debut.” —Kirkus Reviews “A scintillating, high-octane intellectual flight of fancy.” —Newsday “One of the few younger American writers who can stake a claim to the legacy of Pynchon, Gaddis, and DeLillo.” —Gerald Howard, The Nation “Bristlingly intelligent. . . . Powers is a superb writer.” —Chicago Tribune “A writer of blistering intellect. . . . [Powers is] a novelist of ideas and a novelist of witness, and in both respects, he has few American peers.” —Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times
