G. A. Cohen was one of the towering political philosophers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. His intellectual career was unusually wide-ranging, and he was celebrated internationally not only for his penetrating ideas about liberty, justice and equality, but also for his method, a highly original and influential combination of analytical philosophy and Marxism. Christine Sypnowich guides readers through the rich body of Cohen’s work. By identifying five paradoxes in his thought, she explores the origins of his interest in analytical philosophy, his engagement with the ideas of right-wing libertarianism, his critique of John Rawls’s work, his late-career turn to conservatism, and the tension between his preoccupation with individual responsibility and the idea of a socialist ethos. Sypnowich acknowledges the strengths of Cohen’s positions as well as their tensions and flaws, and presents him as a thinker of startling insight. This compelling introduction is a go-to resource for students and scholars of modern political philosophy.

G. R. Grover & Son's Anthology is the 2nd. Editon of this book. The original contained thirty-nine poems of mine and my father. The 2nd. Edition contains over 100. Quite the bargain @ $9.99.Garald R. Grover was my father. To those who knew him, he was 'Perk'. During his lifetime, he raced stock cars, became a photographer and gunsmith, served in the U. S. Navy, and worked on the Grand Trunk Railroad. He passed away in 1974, so his contribution to this anthology is, unfortunately brief.My work history is even more varied. I have worked as a busboy, driven a semi, owned and operated a restaurant, and worked as a machine operator, security officer, office worker, and furniture salesman. These days, I driver a motorcoach. When not transporting passengers and writing, I am an avid space enthusiast and advocate for the development of space technology and commercialization."Write for the pleasure of writing, but share it for the pleasure of others." - Londo
Most young males today think they are men just because they have reached a certain age. What they fail to realize is that reaching a certain age (18-21) only allows you to be considered as an adult. It is your actions that will determine your manhood. In this simply written, easy to read book, Pierre D. Perry (who is a U.S. Navy veteran, retired correctional sergeant, and a youth basketball coach) gives G.A.M.E. (Grown Ass Man Experience) to young males by giving them some much needed information that will help their growth on their journey into manhood. In this book, young males will learn how to apply for a job, and how to dress and conduct themselves at a job interview. They will be given the blueprint on to how to treat a woman, and encouraged to take their place as fathers when the time comes. Perry also gives his 10 key ingredients to being a man. Everything a young male needs to know about being a man can be found here. This is a great book for all males (young and old). This book will also be beneficial to single mothers of young males.
G. K. Chesterton, A Critical Study, by Julius West, describes the personality of one of the cleverest English writers and an estimate of his work. Gilbert Keith Chesterton, KC*SG (29 May 1874 - 14 June 1936), better known as G. K. Chesterton, was an English writer, 2] poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, lay theologian, biographer, and literary and art critic. Chesterton is often referred to as the "prince of paradox". 3] Time magazine has observed of his writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories-first carefully turning them inside out." 4] Chesterton is well known for his fictional priest-detective Father Brown, 5] and for his reasoned apologetics. Even some of those who disagree with him have recognised the wide appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. 4] 6] Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an "orthodox" Christian, and came to identify this position more and more with Catholicism, eventually converting to Catholicism from High Church Anglicanism. George Bernard Shaw, his "friendly enemy", said of him, "He was a man of colossal genius." 4] Biographers have identified him as a successor to such Victorian authors as Matthew Arnold, Thomas Carlyle, Cardinal John Henry Newman, and John Ruskin. Chesterton was born in Campden Hill in Kensington, London, the son of Marie Louise, n e Grosjean, and Edward Chesterton. 8] 9] He was baptised at the age of one month into the Church of England, 10] though his family themselves were irregularly practising Unitarians. According to his autobiography, as a young man Chesterton became fascinated with the occult and, along with his brother Cecil, experimented with Ouija boards. Chesterton was educated at St Paul's School, then attended the Slade School of Art to become an illustrator. The Slade is a department of University College London, where Chesterton also took classes in literature, but did not complete a degree in either subject. In September 1895 Chesterton began working for the London publisher Redway, where he remained for just over a year. 14] In October 1896 he moved to the publishing house T. Fisher Unwin, 14] where he remained until 1902. During this period he also undertook his first journalistic work, as a freelance art and literary critic. In 1902 the Daily News gave him a weekly opinion column, followed in 1905 by a weekly column in The Illustrated London News, for which he continued to write for the next thirty years. Early on Chesterton showed a great interest in and talent for art. He had planned to become an artist, and his writing shows a vision that clothed abstract ideas in concrete and memorable images. Even his fiction contained carefully concealed parables. Father Brown is perpetually correcting the incorrect vision of the bewildered folks at the scene of the crime and wandering off at the end with the criminal to exercise his priestly role of recognition and repentance. For example, in the story "The Flying Stars", Father Brown entreats the character Flambeau to give up his life of crime: "There is still youth and honour and humour in you; don't fancy they will last in that trade. Men may keep a sort of level of good, but no man has ever been able to keep on one level of evil. That road goes down and down. The kind man drinks and turns cruel; the frank man kills and lies about it. Many a man I've known started like you to be an honest outlaw, a merry robber of the rich, and ended stamped into slime." Chesterton loved to debate, often engaging in friendly public disputes with such men as George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, Bertrand Russell and Clarence Darrow. According to his autobiography, he and Shaw played cowboys in a silent film that was never released.
