Beneath the surface of modern governance lies a hidden tug of war, silently shaping the fabric of law and politics in liberal democracies. This book uncovers and explores the two enduring sets of ideas behind this conflict - natural law and utilitarianism.From the world's largest hydroelectric facility to vaccine mandates and government tax-and-spend policies, You: The Greatest Good explores and reveals the diverse moral roots that have laid the groundwork and influenced the current direction of Western nations in the 21st century.Examine the history, great minds, arguments, and applications of these two giants of moral philosophy and see how natural law is - now more than ever - in need of a resurgence. This is not a call to selfishness. Instead, this book simply aims to demonstrate that everyone should be treated as their own end rather than just another cog in the machine.

Part story, part game, this is a book in which YOU make all the decisions The Citadel of Bureaucracy holds dark and dangerous perils for civil servants unprepared for its labyrinthine cubicle walls, but enter you must. The Albatross Pay System has shorted you, money's tight, and long hours have left you ragged and in desperate need of a vacation. You've just got to make it through one more day. But it won't be easy. Packed with asbestos, bad wiring, and with air quality equivalent to a dank, rat-infested dungeon, the Darby Complex, known as "The Citadel" to its hapless inmates, is riddled with appalling hazards and frantic civil servants to test you beyond all reasonable limits.Working against the clock, you must fight unreliable transit, dodgy I.T., the dreaded Canada goose, and a rising sense of nihilism in an effort to get paid and clear your desk before your vacation. YOU decide which paths to take, which dangers to risk, and which colleagues to confront. May the blessings of the Janus-faced God of Finance and H.R. be with you, for you'll find little succour in the Citadel's unhallowed halls.

The Spitfire began as a near disaster. The developments of this famous aircraft took it from uncompromising beginnings to become the legendary last memorial to a great man - an elegant and, with its pilots, a highly effective, weapon of war. The Spitfire would not have happened at all, however, without Mitchell's indomitable courage and determination in the face of severe physical and psychological adversity resulting from cancer. His contribution to the Battle of Britain, and thereafter to the achievement of final victory in 1945, was so great that our debt to him can never be repaid. This poignant story is written from a uniquely personal viewpoint by his son, Gordon Mitchell.

W.J.T. Mitchell – one of the founders of visual studies – has been at the forefront of many disciplines such as iconology, art history and media studies. His concept of the pictorial turn is known worldwide for having set new philosophical paradigms in dealing with our vernacular visual world. This book will help both students and seasoned scholars to understand key terms in visual studies – pictorial turn, metapictures, literary iconology, image/text, biopictures or living pictures, among many others – while systematically presenting the work of Mitchell as one of the discipline's founders and most prominent figures. As a special feature, the book includes three comprehensive, authoritative and theoretically relevant interviews with Mitchell that focus on different stages of development of visual studies and critical iconology.
The definitive story of how the Spitfire was designed, built, and tested and how close it came to not happening at all. The biography of the life and career of the world famous aircraft designer who created the legendary Supermarine Spitfire written by his son, Gordon Mitchell.
