Constant Battles

Constant Battles

LeBlanc Steven A.; Register Katherine

St Martin's Press
2004
nidottu
LeBlanc brilliantly argues that warfare has been a part of human existence throughout history. He uncovers a six-million-year-old equation of population growth, resource stress, and warfare as he surveys the archaeological, ethnographic, and historical records from cultures around the world. This distinguished book explores the implications of his findings by considering if humans are doomed by genetic heritage to fight each other, and arrives at a hopeful conclusion: by understanding why humans fought in the past, modern man, with technology and awareness, can avoid warfare in the future.

Constant: Political Writings

Constant: Political Writings

Benjamin Constant

Cambridge University Press
1988
pokkari
This is the first English translation of the major political works of Benjamin Constant, one of the most important of modern French political theorists and writers. A Swiss protestant by birth, Constant was a prominent figure in French political life in the aftermath of the revolution of 1789, and a leading member of the liberal opposition to Napoleon and, subsequently, to the restored Bourbon monarchy. His writings are widely regarded as one of the classical formulations of modern liberal doctrine, and Constant’s own closeness to the Anglo-Saxon political tradition renders their translation into English particularly appropriate. The novel Adolphe has hitherto been Constant’s only work freely available outside France, emphasising his importance within European Romanticism and his centrality to French literary development in the nineteenth century. This translation of Constant’s political writings is replete with full editorial apparatus and bibliographic information that will enable anglophone students of liberal thought to engage at first hand with one of its most durable and influential exponents.

Constant Fear

Constant Fear

K a Hudson

Arrowsmith Publishing
2021
pokkari
From the Derwent to Lygon Street to the dust and flies of Kalgoorlie and the deep loam of the Swan Valley, K.A. Hudson has created an enthralling story with a wonderfully authentic and likeable main character, whose plight grips our hearts and seizes our attention. Hudson's sense of the dramatic as well as her feel for the Australian character and landscape makes this an irrepressible read. Melbourne, 1970 - bustling, cosmopolitan and undeniably exciting for a young woman fresh from the Apple Isle. But beneath the veneer of a city on the move is a sinister underbelly of cops on the take, standover thugs and illegal gambling dens into which a confident but na ve Constance O'Hara unwittingly falls.Stuck in a spiral of crime and violence, Constance's attempts to break free result in a brutal attack...and the belief she has killed her assailant.Hunted and in constant fear for her life, Constance assumes a new identity and flees across the continent to Western Australia's Goldfields to start a new life. But the past has long shadows and when her old life catches up with her, Constance must fight to save herself, the life she has created and those she loves.

Constant Minds

Constant Minds

Adriana McCrea

University of Toronto Press
1997
sidottu
In response to the crisis provoked by the Wars of Religion in Europe in the sixteenth century, the Flemish philosopher Lipsius developed a synthesis of stoic morality and Tacitean political analysis called 'the Lipsian paradigm,' or neostoicism. The paradigm espoused the adaptation to prevailing political circumstances, the practice of 'mixed prudence,' (knowing the circumstances in which to apply deceit) and the use of historical example as a guide to contemporary action as political virtues. Constant Minds investigates the reception and use of Lipsian ideas in the moral, political, and literary culture of late-sixteenth- and early-seventeenth-century England through examination of the writings and activities of Walter Ralegh, Francis Bacon, Fulke Greville, Ben Jonson, and Joseph Hall. Adriana McCrea demonstrates how this continental school of thought permeated the political ideas of these English writers, and places her study in the contexts of the literary conventions of the humanist tradition, the political events of the time, and the activities and circles of the authors themselves. McCrea's study fuses intellectual history with political history and literary analysis, prompting new questions about the nature of English Renaissance humanism and political perception in England during the early modern period.

Constant Conflict

Constant Conflict

Robert Shogan

Basic Books
2004
pokkari
America's culture war - which pits traditionalists, unrelenting defenders of the social orthodoxy, against modernists, agitators for social change - has simmered and seethed since the birth of the nation. But in the turbulent decade of the 1960s, the culture war erupted in the political arena, where it thunders on today. Constant Conflict examines how the evolution of cultural issues as political tools has rocked the balance of political power in America, and continues to do so. Through an expansive coverage of events - from Vietnam, Nixon, discrimination, abortion, economic imbalance, and morality in political behaviour - Washington journalist Robert Shogan provides an objective and informed look at how Americans feel about themselves and their country in the first decade of the new millennium. Updates to the paperback show how the culture war has reached new heights in the Bush presidency, with the emphasis on Godliness and the divisiveness against the Axis of Evil. Shogan also discusses how the cultural conflicts will impact the 2004 campaign.
