Freedom Over Servitude

Freedom Over Servitude

David Lewis Schaefer

Praeger Publishers Inc
1998
sidottu
This volume contains five articles by prominent scholars of French literature and political philosophy that examine the relation between Montaigne's Essays, one of the classic works of the French philosophical and literary traditions, and the writings attributed by Montaigne to his friend, the French humanist Etienne de La Boétie's.Three contributors to the volume suggest that Montaigne was the real author of the revolutionary tract On Voluntary Servitude, along with the other works he attributed to La Boétie's. Two contributors describe the remarkable mathematical and/or mythological patterns found in both the Essays and the works ascribed to La Boétie's. Several essays articulate the revolutionary political teaching found in the Essays as well as On Voluntary Servitude, challenging the conventional view of Montaigne as a political conservative. And all the contributors challenge the received view that he was an artless or nonchalant writer. The volume also includes new translations of both On Voluntary Servitude and the 29 Sonnets of Etienne de La Boetie that Montaigne included in all editions of the Essays except the final one. An important work for students and scholars of political philosophy, Renaissance history, and French and comparative literature.

Policy and Planning as Public Choice

Policy and Planning as Public Choice

David Lewis; Fred Laurence Williams

Routledge
2020
nidottu
First published in 1999, this book applies formal economic measures to the passenger and taxpayer benefits of public transit service in the United States under a public choice analytical framework. Approximately 400 local transit budgets have been renewed annually for more than 25 years. These budgets epitomize Braybrooke and Linblom’s concept of 'disjointed incrementalism' and Buchanan’s concept of 'Public Choice' since local legislators funded transit despite constant academic criticism of transit performance. On the other hand, Braybrooke and Lindblom and Buchanan show that local budgets capture benefits that traditional planning analysis does not grasp. This is borne out in analysis in the book. Indeed, far from draining society, transit returns five dollars in benefits for each one dollar of public subsidy. After explaining the analytical framework in Chapter 1, four chapters are devoted to measuring the value of transit benefits. The concluding chapter draws out the implications of this approach and of benefit measurement for policy and planning.

Conceiving God

Conceiving God

David Lewis-Williams

Thames Hudson Ltd
2010
sidottu
At once polemical, insightful and thought-provoking, Conceiving God is essential reading for all those interested in the origins of religious thought, and the respective roles of science and religion in contemporary society. Building on the insights and discoveries of his two earlier books, The Mind in the Cave and Inside the Neolithic Mind, cognitive archaeologist David Lewis-Williams explores how science developed within the cocoon of religion and then shows how the natural functioning of the human brain creates experiences that can lead to belief in the supernatural realm.

The Mind in the Cave

The Mind in the Cave

David Lewis-Williams

Thames Hudson Ltd
2004
nidottu
What does the breathtakingly beautiful art depicted on the walls of caves such as Lascaux, Chauvet and Altamira, tell us about the nature of the ancestral mind? How did these images spring, seemingly from nowhere into the human story? The Mind in the Cave puts forward the most plausible explanation yet proposed for the origins of image-making and art. This is a masterful piece of detective work, casting light on the darkest mysteries of our earliest ancestors and on the nature of our own consciousness and experience.

Inside the Neolithic Mind

Inside the Neolithic Mind

David Lewis-Williams; David Pearce

Thames Hudson Ltd
2018
nidottu
This fascinating book continues the story begun in the bestselling and critically acclaimed book The Mind in the Cave. Drawing on the latest research and recent discoveries, the authors skilfully link material on human consciousness, imagery and belief systems to propose provocative new theories about the causes of an ancient revolution in cosmology, the origins of social complexity and even the drive behind the domestication of plants and animals. In doing so they create a fascinating neurological bridge to the mysterious thought-lives of the past and reveal the essence of a momentous period in human history.

The Angel of Lygon Street

The Angel of Lygon Street

David Lewis Paget

Barr Books
2017
pokkari
Once more a collection of 70 narrative poems, with disparate themes, something, in fact, for everybody. This is my fifteenth collection, beginning with Timepieces, which was largely Gothic, to the present collection which are rather less bloodthirsty than those early volumes. I like to think of most of the subject material as bizarre these days, more subtle perhaps, but just as interesting in their wayward themes. The fact that most of them are written at night, in a dim, quiet room, probably adds to the flavour. There are ghost stories, weird stories, strange characters who inhabit eerie buildings and live lives of quiet desperation, and who may only be found between the pages of this book. There is the odd bit of humour as well, to lighten the atmosphere if one is getting over tense. You can read it in the study, in bed, even take it into the bathroom with you if you don't want to break the thread of a good tale. But keep it away from the neighbours, or you'll lose it for good.

The Obelisk

The Obelisk

David Lewis Paget

Barr Books
2017
pokkari
This, my sixteenth volume of narrative poems, is what you might call a mixed bag. If you bought this in a lolly shop, you would find the usual sickly pink sugary ones, the sour teddies, and the chocolate smoothies. But wriggling around the bottom of the bag would be some that defied description, black and glutinous, with names like dark dreams and shadowy freakshows. Unless you held on tightly these would seek to escape from the bag and go for your throat. They exist on the periphery of horrible, or skate along the landscape of myth. They contain characters not in control of their own destimy, and are most comfortable in dark rooms by dim reading lamps, where they can invade the reader's brain and create the most havoc. If you're not extra careful they will escape to your bedroom and hide beneath your pillow, ready to insinuate themselves into your dreams. If you enjoy dreadful thrills, read this in the dark....

Blackrock Island

Blackrock Island

David Lewis Paget

Barr Books
2018
pokkari
Two RAAF Neptunes take off for Hawaii in November 1968, intending to stop at Fiji and Canton Atoll along the way. They never arrive. Six months later the only two survivors from the two crews are picked up in an inflatable dinghy in the Pacific. The story they have to tell is that of a horror flight in which the Officer in Charge demonstrates his incompetency by ordering a Navex at night while maintaining radio silence. After dealing with a spot of sabotage inflicted by a couple of disgruntled members of the ground crew, the aircraft become lost in a storm, and fail to find Canton Atoll. What they do find, is an uncharted island surmounted with tall, black cliffs, which they name Blackrock Island. Running desperately out of fuel they decide to ditch the aircraft on the island, one by skimming across the water up to the beach, the other by landing in a heavily afforested area, skimming across the tops of the trees. Both decisions bring about casualties, but much worse is waiting for them on Blackrock Island.

pokkari
The weird, wonderful and bizarre tales from Australia's foremost narrative poet are contained in these pages. You are invited to wander through Warlock Park and enjoy the out of world experiences of others, without becoming more than slightly mentally tainted yourself. I have been assured that on closing this book you will return to your own mundane world, leaving only the flavour of an intense experience behind, still nestled within these pages, and available to you once again on a second reading if you're game enough to do so. David Lewis Paget has become known for his bizarre works on Facebook, and has a regular cohort of fans eagerly awaiting the next from his imaginative depths. The range of these narratives are wide and all inclusive, from Gothic Horror to Romance, to the out and out Bizarre. He recommends that you read this at night, in a gloomy room, where the slightest creak or distant cry will raise the hair on the back of your neck, and prompt you to get up and turn the key in the door. Enjoy

2016
pokkari
Alex Prittik has everything. A private island, three houses, a bimbo wife, a successful business and $23,000,000 in the bank. He also has 8 weeks to live. He's determined not to be around when the worst of the pain hits, but then he meets Tina, and discovers that there is truth in the old saying that no matter how dire your circumstances are, there is always someone worse off than you. He enters into an unlikely romance, and stages a massive firework display, saying he intends to go out with a bang. But he's surrounded by barracudas who are only interested in who will end up with his money. He decides to write a will which will take a bevy of lawyers years to figure out, and deny anyone who has not kept on the short and narrow in their own life. A fascinating tale with a grand climax at the end, which will keep the reader in suspense, and gratified at the conclusion. A must read.

The Mind Catcher

The Mind Catcher

David Lewis Paget

Barr Books
2016
pokkari
The characters in these stories may well haunt your sleeping hours, once you have given yourself up to them, have absorbed their eccentricities and the fables I engineered for them. They do not live as you and I live. Not for them the mundane and repetitive boredom of tiny lives, lived in quiet desperation in the mean streets of our cities. They mainly survive on the edge of their own particular darkness, the bleak forces of nature and unnatural magic creating the circumstances of the horror that defines them. Some do in fact survive, but a crude madness is never very far away, stalking even the best of them.
