This inspiring text would make for a worthy addition to any personal library, and will be of special interest to fans and collectors of Mahatma Gandhi’s seminal work. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869 - 1948) was the most significant leader in the Indian independence movement in British-ruled India. He championed non-violent civil disobedience, civil rights, and personal freedom for all people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Mahatma Gandhi died in 1948 by an assassin's bullet, the most potent legacy he left to the world was the technique of satyagraha (literally, holding on to the Truth). His "experiments with Truth" were far from complete at the time of his death, but he had developed a new technique for effecting social and political change through the constructive conduct of conflict: Gandhian satyagraha had become eminently more than "passive resistance" or "civil disobedience." By relating what Gandhi said to what he did and by examining instances of satyagraha led by others, this book abstracts from the Indian experiments those essential elements that constitute the Gandhian technique. It explores, in terms familiar to the Western reader, its distinguishing characteristics and its far-reaching implications for social and political philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Bertrand Russell was an influential British philosopher andmathematician. The Conquest of Happiness first published in1930 was Russell's guide on how to live a happy life. Although it was `of its time' it was also, certainly, aheadof its time. Russell's views were that true happiness couldonly be achieved through both personal thought and effort. Atrue self help classic before self help even existed. Here, Tim Phillip's interpretation of The Conquest of Happinessillustrates the timeless nature of Russell's insights bybringing them to life through 52 modern case studies. Thisbrilliant interpretation of The Conquest of Happiness is anentertaining accompaniment to one of the most famous bookson popular philosophy ever written.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller and Notable Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Book of the Year (Nonfiction) Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence (Nonfiction) From the most celebrated heir to Darwin comes a groundbreaking book on evolution, the summa work of Edward O. Wilson's legendary career. Sparking vigorous debate in the sciences, The Social Conquest of Earth upends “the famous theory that evolution naturally encourages creatures to put family first” (Discover). Refashioning the story of human evolution, Wilson draws on his remarkable knowledge of biology and social behavior to demonstrate that group selection, not kin selection, is the premier driving force of human evolution. In a work that James D. Watson calls “a monumental exploration of the biological origins of the human condition,” Wilson explains how our innate drive to belong to a group is both a “great blessing and a terrible curse” (Smithsonian). Demonstrating that the sources of morality, religion, and the creative arts are fundamentally biological in nature, the renowned Harvard University biologist presents us with the clearest explanation ever produced as to the origin of the human condition and why it resulted in our domination of the Earth’s biosphere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Conquest of American Inflation, Thomas J. Sargent presents an analysis of the rise and fall of U.S. inflation after 1960. He examines two broad explanations for the behavior of inflation and unemployment in this period: the natural rate hypothesis joined to the Lucas critique and a more traditional econometric policy evaluation modified to include adaptive expectations and learning. His purpose is not only to determine which is the better account, but also to codify for the benefit of the next generation the economic forces that cause inflation. Providing an original methodological link between theoretical and policy economics, this book will engender much debate and become an indispensable text for academics, graduate students, and professional economists.
