Nietzsche: Aristocratic Radicalism or Anarchy?

Nietzsche: Aristocratic Radicalism or Anarchy?

Martin Jenkins

Lulu.com
2019
nidottu
Every enhancement of humanity has occurred in an Aristocratic society says Friedrich Nietzsche. Ubermen who are a unified complexity are alone, the source of change and creative human advance. The values of Democracy, Egalitarianism are the consequence of 2000 years of slave morality ascendency. From the collapse of the latter, the human type will re-emerge stronger, in its natural state of aristocracy whose dynamic is Will to Power. Yet the Will to Power can, with the insights of French Philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995), be so interpreted to bring about a reading and a society that is the very opposite of Aristocracy...

Green Diesel Years

Green Diesel Years

Martin Jenkins

Ian Allan Publishing
2016
sidottu
The 'green diesel era' between 1955 and the late 1960s/early 1970s, when diesel motive power was being introduced in large numbers on Britain's railway network, is today arguably one of the favourite historical periods for enthusiasts and modellers of diesel traction. Almost from the outset, BR adopted green as its livery for diesel locomotives and DMUs - with odd exceptions (most notably the ever-independent Western Region) - and, although a new livery of Rail Blue was launched in 1964, the green livery was in evidence until the late 1960s/early 1970s. This book contains over 180 photographs of the huge variety of the BR diesel fleet in this era from the 1950s to the end of the 1960s - both locomotives and DMUs - throughout the country - as well as a portrait of a railway in which the infrastructure had remained recognisable for decades before undergoing wholesale changes. Today the diesel locomotives and DMUs in this book are as much part of our history as the background scenes of the railway portrayed, making this book an invaluable source of information for railway modellers as well as historians.

The Story of Money

Walker Books Ltd
2015
nidottu
A funny, philosophical book about the universal subject of money, by award-winning non-fiction writer Martin Jenkins.A funny, philosophical look at the universal subject of money by award-winning non-fiction writer Martin Jenkins, illustrated by Satoshi Kitamura. In the Yap Islands in the South Pacific money can be a stone with a hole in the middle. It can be a string of shells, a bundle of cloth or a copper slab. It's the stuff that makes the world go round and doesn't grow on trees. In this fascinating and thought-provoking book, Martin Jenkins explores the history of money from its earliest beginnings to the electronic banking of today. Along the way we learn about hunter gatherers, barter, clay tablets, goat swapping, precious metals, hard bargains, IOUs, interest, coins, Romans, taxes, inflation, paper money, currencies and exchange rates. Satoshi Kitamura’s quirky, satirical drawings perfectly complement the dry humour of the text and in the end we are reminded that money only exists because we believe in it.
