    I Applaud The Work You Are Doing On the Vital Subject of Trust--The Thread That Holds Everything Together. -SCOTT PELLEY, 60 MINUTES REPORTER, CBS Trust is an entity worth much more than money, oil, or gold. Winning its battles determines the purchasing decisions of millions, the choices in voting and the determination of political power. That there is always a battle for trust is undeniable. It's there because of the "bully pulpit" dynamics of power-driven politicians. It's there when we rely on our loved ones to be there in times of trouble--as when couples fear alleged affairs. It's there when we struggle to understand what is happening to our planet--when our homes are devastated by calamitous weather--while others claim that climate change is a hoax. It's there when our need to trust is so great that we end up believing untrustworthy sources--like seductive messages from social media.The battles for trust are pervasive and A Brief History of Trust brings it all to life, providing an historical overview of the major trust issues that engage us today, willingly or not, via the headlines of our daily news media. It offers the understanding of the history of trust brought to light by the stories of human interaction through the ages--from the neuroscience of trust to the printing press to the slow strangulation of political trust, from the research on "narcissistic" monkeys explaining the evolution of conspiracy theories to the conspiratorial trust between political leaders to the convoluted challenges of the Chatbot Revolution. Trust--or its loss--affects the thinking and decision-making of masses through all media, and more recently as generated by artificial intelligence. At this critical point in our culture, we face a crisis of restoring trust, with life itself and global civilization held hostage by misinformation and false beliefs.

  • av Henry David Thoreau
    239,-

    A TRANQUIL VOYAGE OF SPIRITUAL DISCOVERY In Walden, (Or, Life in the Woods) Henry David Thoreau details his 1845 retreat into a cabin he built near Walden Pond. Set amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, it served as Thoreau's immersion into nature and escape from the distractions of social life. He stayed for two years, two months and two days. Thoreau used his time at Walden Pond to write his first book, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. When writing Walden, Thoreau compresses the two years spent in the woods into a single calendar year, using the passing of four seasons to symbolize human development. Part his personal declaration of independence and part social experiment, Thoreau also spends time making precise scientific observations of nature, recording in detail the color and clarity of the different bodies of water, describing the freezing and thawing of the pond, and detailing his experiments to measure the depth and shape of the supposedly "bottomless" Walden Pond. A Transcendentalist, Thoreau's text reflects upon simple living in natural surroundings. It is a call to reconnect with nature, escape the noise of modern life and immerse yourself in the serene, introspective world of spiritual discovery. It is a manual for self-reliance and a celebration of simple living and tranquility offering wisdom and insights that remain profoundly relevant in today's hectic, noisy world.

  • av Charles Dickens

    "...It is a true tale of grief and trial, and sorrow...such tales usually are; if it were one of unmixed joy and happiness, it would be very brief. Olver Twist is Charles Dickens' classic tale of an orphan in search of a true home. Facing the harsh reality and cruelty of poverty he is forced to live in a dark and dismal London workhouse run by Mr. Bumble, a cruel man who cheats the boys out of their meager rations. One of the most often quoted lines from the book is "Please, sir, I want some more". Said by young Oliver to a church workhouse employee, Oliver is not only not given more food, but he is also treated like a dreadful sinner and criminal. Hungry and desperate, Oliver makes his escape, but being penniless and alone, he is easily lured into a world of crime by Fagin, the mastermind of a gang of young pickpockets. Luckily, when Oliver is sent on a mission by Fagin, he is rescued by a kindly gentleman. This benefactor takes him in but Oliver finds himself involved in a battle with an evil person and must use his wits to protect himself and others until he ultimately find his place in the world. The sordid lives of street criminals and the cruel treatment of orphans living in London in the mid-19th century is exposed in Dicken's story. He satirizes child labor and domestic violence in what is considered to be an early social novel. Dickens himself, spent two years in the workhouse at the age of 12 and missed several years of education. Dickens created some of literature's best-known fictional characters, and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era.

    "To love is to suffer and there can be no love otherwise" - Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from the Underground The darkly fascinating novella Notes From The Underground was written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky in 1864, shortly before he penned his lengthier later novels, including The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment. Considered by many to be one of the first existentialist novels it follows the complicated mind of a bitter, retired civil servant (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man), who lives alone in St. Petersburg, Russia in the mid 19th century. Able to retire after recently inheriting some money, the narrator in full retreat from society has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence. In full retreat from society, he scrawls a passionate, obsessive, self-contradictory rambling narrative that runs the gamut from human morality, to logic and reason and serves as a devastating attack on emerging Western and contemporary Russian philosophy, as well as social utopianism and an assertion of man's essentially irrational nature. These memoirs or confessions describe and explain his alienation from modern society and the work can be viewed as an attack on and rebellion against determinism, the idea that everything, including the human personality and will, can be reduced to the laws of nature, science and mathematics. One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the narrator is a doubting, alienated protagonist in a novella that introduces the moral, religious, political and social themes that dominated Dostoyevsky's later masterworks.

  • av Fyodor Dostoevsky
    339,-

    The Brothers Karamazov, a passionate philosophical novel completed only a few months before his death, is Fyodor Dostoyevsky's most expansive, life-embracing work. Described as a theological drama, regarding faith, doubt, and reason, it is set in a modernizing 19th century Russia. The plot centers on a murder and is infused with moral issues and human nature at its most loathsome and cruel, in particular, that of collective guilt. This life-embracing work exploring love, lust, greed, jealousy, and sorrow, enters deeply into the ethical questions of God, free will, and morality. After spending four years in a Siberian penal settlement, Dostoevsky developed a keen ability for deep character analysis. In The Brothers Karamazov, he never flinches at what he finds. The opening of the novel introduces the Karamazov family and relates the story of their distant and recent past. Fyodor Pavlovich's two marriages, as well as his indifference to the upbringing of his three children, is chronicled. This stirring tale continues, as the brothers unite in the murder of one of literature's most despicable characters - their father. The novel has been acclaimed all over the world, by thinkers as diverse as Sigmund Freud, Albert Einstein, Kurt Vonnegut, and Pope Benedict XVI, as one of the supreme achievements in literature. Representing the culmination of Dostoyevsky's life's work, it ranks among the greatest novels of all time.

  • av Mary Wollstonecraft
    269,-

    A FEMINIST CLASSIC This classic 1792 political treatise by British writer Mary Wollstonecraft argues that women should be treated with equal dignity and respect to men, especially regarding education. It was instrumental in laying the foundation for the women's suffrage and feminist movements. Her trailblazing work posits that the educational system deliberately trained women to be frivolous and incapable. Wollstonecraft's goal was not to undermine the role of women in the home as she pointed out that if girls were allowed the same advantages as boys, women would not only be exceptional wives and mothers, but they would also be capable workers. She encouraged society to see them as a valuable resource and called for women and men to be educated equally for without an education, women are merely men's "slaves" and "playthings"-not the intelligent, rational companions of a just and equal society. "...Effect a revolution in female manners...restore to them their lost dignity...as a part of the human species...reforming themselves to reform the world." Tackling many of the punitive patriarchal attitudes that dominated eighteenth-century society, she launched a broad attack against sexual double standards, urging women to prioritize reason over emotion to break free from male notions of female fragility and foolishness. This, her signature, classic work of early feminism remains as relevant today as it was when first released and an essential text in feminist literature. , MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT died in 1797 at age 38, eleven days after giving birth to her second daughter, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, who would become a noted writer herself, as the author of Frankenstein.
