(H/B) MARX, CAPITAL AND THE MADNESS OF ECONOMIC REASON
Εκδότης: PROFILE BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3621-0076

Marx's Capital is one of the most important texts of the modern era. The three volumes, published between 1867 and 1883, changed the destiny of countries, politics and people across the world - and continue to resonate today. In this book, David Harvey lays out their key arguments. In clear and concise language, Harvey describes the architecture of capital according to Marx, placing his observations in the context of capitalism in the second half of the nineteenth century. He considers the degree to which technological, economic and indust...

Twenty years ago Helen Franklin did something she cannot forgive herself for, and she has spent every day since barricading herself against its memory. But her sheltered life is about to change.

(H/B) CIVILIZATIONS
HOW DO WE LOOK / THE EYE OF FAITH
Εκδότης: PROFILE BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3621-0065

Companion to the major new BBC documentary series CIVILISATIONS, presented by Mary Beard, David Olusoga and Simon Schama. The idea of 'civilisation' has always been debated, even fought over. At the heart of those debates lies the big question of how people - from prehistory to the present day - have depicted themselves and others, both human and divine. Distinguished historian Mary Beard explores how art has shaped, and been shaped by, the people who created it. How have we looked at these images? Why have they sometimes been so contentio...

(H/B) HOW DEMOCRACY ENDS
Εκδότης: PROFILE BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3621-0073

Democracy has died hundreds of times, all over the world. We think we know what that looks like: chaos descends and the military arrives to restore order, until the people can be trusted to look after their own affairs again. However, there is a danger that this picture is out of date. Until very recently, most citizens of Western democracies would have imagined that the end was a long way off, and very few would have thought it might be happening before their eyes as Trump, Brexit and paranoid populism have become a reality.

(H/B) HER BODY AND OTHER PARTIES
Εκδότης: PROFILE BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3621-0067

In her provocative debut, Carmen Maria Machado demolishes the borders between magical realism and science fiction, comedy and horror, fantasy and fabulism.

A wife refuses her husband's entreaties to remove the mysterious green ribbon from around her neck. A woman recounts her sexual encounters as a plague spreads across the earth. A salesclerk in a mall makes a horrifying discovery about a store's dresses. One wom...

A young woman has agreed with her faithless husband: it's time for them to separate. For the moment it's a private matter, a secret between the two of them.

PROSTITUTES, OUTLAWS, SLAVES, GLADIATORS, ORDINARY MEN AND WOMEN... THE ROMANS THAT HISTORY FORGOT
Εκδότης: PROFILE BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3621-0049

Robert Knapp seeks out the ordinary people who formed the fabric of everyday life in ancient Rome and the outlaws and pirates who lay beyond it. They are the housewives, prostitutes, freedmen, slaves, soldiers, and gladiators who lived commonplace lives and left almost no trace in history - until now. But their words are preserved in literature, letters, inscriptions and graffiti and their traces can be found in the histories, treatises, plays and poetry created by the elite. A world lost from view for two millennia is recreated through th...

Εκδότης: PROFILE BOOKS

(P/B) THE NEW NORTH
THE WORLD IN 2050
Εκδότης: PROFILE BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3621-0041

The New North is a book that turns the world literally upside down. Analysing four key 'megatrends' - population growth and migration, natural resource demand, climate change and globalisation - UCLA professor Larry Smith projects a world that by mid-century will have shifted its political and economic axes radically to the north. The beneficiaries of this new order, based on a bonanza of oil, natural gas, minerals and plentiful water will be the Arctic regions of Russia, Alaska and Canada, and Scandinavia. Meanwhile countries closer to th...

(P/B) THE SECRET ANARCHY OF SCIENCE
Εκδότης: PROFILE BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3621-0039

For more than a century, science has cultivated a sober public image for itself. But as bestselling author Michael Brooks explains, the truth is very different: many of our most successful scientists have more in common with libertines than librarians.This thrilling exploration of some of the greatest breakthroughs in science reveals the extreme lengths some scientists go to in order to make their theories public. Fraud, suppressing evidence and unethical or reckless PR games are sometimes necessary to bring the best and most brilliant dis...

(P/B) DIRT
THE FILTHY REALITY OF EVERYDAY LIFE
Εκδότης: PROFILE BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3621-0036

Dirt - obsessively avoided, often misunderstood, but paradoxically also an indicator of'civilisation' (through production of waste), and a near-magical source of renewable life and medical discovery. History is rich with progressive victories over dirt, from the aqueducts and sewers of the Roman Empire to Sir Joseph Bazalgette's triumphant 'Main Drainage of London' in the mid-nineteenth century, which still functions today. Yet our relationship with dirt is complex and ambivalent. Dirt is waste, excrement, rubbish - but what then is soil? ...

(P/B) THE USES AND ABUSES OF HISTORY
Εκδότης: PROFILE BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3621-0019

History is useful when it is used responsibly, to understand why we think and react in certain ways. But it is also susceptible to manipulation and distortion. Nationalists tell false or one-sided stories about the past, whilst dictators suppress history because it undermines their claims to omniscience and authority. Taking lessons from the past is problematic - there are too many examples, enough to suit every need. Margaret MacMillan is concerned that the history profession appears to be turning inwards, retreating from the big issues a...

Εκδότης: PROFILE BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3621-0043

The BBC Radio 4 Reith Lectures were given in 2010 by the Astronomer Royal, Professor Martin Rees. In this expanded version of the lectures (doubled in length with new material) Martin Rees shows how important science will be to the global economies of the 21st century, to solving some of our apparently intractable problems and to understanding the risks that the world faces. Science is often seen as difficult or obscure, but some great scientists (like the author) are so clear that we can all understand it and participate in the great deba...
