    In its every turn and crease, it bears the marks of the true." --Irving Howe, New Republic"This remarkable memoir...is the autobiography of an extraordinarily acute conscience. With the ear of a poet and the eye of a novelist, Amery vividly communicates the wonder of a philosopher--a wonder here aroused by the 'dark riddle' of the Nazi regime and its systematic sadism." --Jim Miller, Newsweek"Whoever has succumbed to torture can no longer feel at home in the world. The shame of destruction cannot be erased. Trust in the world, which already collapsed in part at the first blow, but in the end, under torture, fully, will not be regained. That one's fellow man was experienced as the antiman remains in the tortured person as accumulated horror. It blocks the view into a world in which the principle of hope rules. One who was martyred is a defenseless prisoner of fear. It is fear that henceforth reigns over him." --Jean AmeryAt the Mind's Limits is the story of one man's incredible struggle to understand the reality of horror. In five autobiographical essays, Amery describes his survival--mental, moral, and physical--through the enormity of the Holocaust. Above all, this masterful record of introspection tells of a young Viennese intellectual's fervent vision of human nature and the betrayal of that vision.

    A classic of phenomenology and existentialism and arguably Jonas's greatest work, The Phenomenon of Life sets forth a systematic and comprehensive philosophy -- an existential interpretation of biological facts laid out in support of Jonas's claim that mind is prefigured throughout organic existence.At the center of this philosophy is an attack on the fundamental assumptions underlying modern philosophy since Descartes, primarily dualism. Dissenting from the dualistic view of value as a human projection onto nature, Jonas's critique affirms the classical view that being harbors the good. In a brilliant synthesis of the ancient and modern, Jonas draws upon existential philosophy to justify core insights of the classical tradition. This critique transcends the historical limits of its phenomenological methodology and existential ethical stance to take its place among the most scientifically nuanced contemporary accounts of moral nature. It lays the foundation for an ethic of responsibility grounded in an assignment by Being to protect the natural environment that has allowed us to spring from it.

    

    He wrote on varied subjects: love, bullfighting, hunting, education, and Don Quixote. His incessant search for knowledge led him into political theory and practice and metaphysics as well.This present book represents Ortega's incursions into a field of thought along which anyone curious enough to travel will find leads him into a succession of ideas that extend his vision and his understanding of himself. If generations of men have puzzled over man's role in the universe and have tried to put it into words, Ortega's phrase "I am myself and my circumstances" is so simply and appealingly true that it may come as a great surprise to find it hailed as an important philosophic contribution. In this day of alienation, when the young have difficulty finding out who they are, Ortega's venture into metaphysics is a lit lamp in the first chapter, of the student's role will shed light on the reason for present student disorders.

    It presents a unique blend of theory and applications, with special emphasis on mathematical modelling, computational techniques and examples from the biological sciences.

    By W.E. Vine with Introductions by W. Graham Scroggie and F.F. Bruce. 1966 printing, 351pp with index. Publisher's statement: "The work of a scholar's whole lifetime of work, it is intended for non-specialists with little or no knowledge of Greek, and for scholars as well. With renderings of the words and phrases of the New Testament from both Authorized and American Revised Versio and against the background of the original Greek, it is a dictionary, a concordance, and a commentary in one volume...Comments are given on Bible passages under carefully arranged headings; by a helpful system of cross-references, the reader can see at a glance not only which Greek words are represented by one English word, but also which English words, if any, are used to translate each Greek word."

    Its chief concern is with the ordinary problems of upbringing which face all parents and the usual phenomena encountered by every clinician. Yet, though primarily practical and clinical in its approach, it also makes a major theoretical contribution to psychology.The author begins with an account of the development of analytic child psychology, its techniques and its sources in child and adult analysis and direct observation of the child. She then describes the course of normal development, how it can be hindered or eased, what are the unavoidable stresses and strains and how variations of normality occur. She outlines a scheme for assessing normality and for gauging and classifying pathological phenomena in terms of the obstruction of normal progress rather than the severity of symptoms. Stress is laid on the problem of predicting the outcome of infantile factors for adult pathology in the face of the child's continual development. Finally, child analysis is considered both as a therapeutic method and as a means for the advance of knowledge.Anna Freud was outstanding for the close and systematic organization of her material and for the readability, clarity and economy of her writing. As might be expected from one of the most eminent psychoanalysts of her day, her book is a work of major importance.

    The third reader, book one of the Bank Street Education Series

    Selections from religious, literary & philosophic works are preceded by introductory material that summarizes historical developments & cultural movements. While much attention is given to religion, many selections deal with social life, political relationships & the Indian attitude to love & passion. The arrangement of the material suggests the growth & development of Indian life thru the centuries, & makes clear that Indian culture has never been static, but rather has been characterized at all times by a remarkable vitality & creativity. The selections range in time from the Rig Veda, composed around 1000 BC, to the writings of Radhakrishnan, the former Indian President. They illustrate both the continuity of the Hindu tradition & its vitality, for Hinduism is probably more vibrant at the present time than it has been for many centuries. The ideals & values, the unquestioned assumptions & the persistent doubts that are presented here from the literature of the past are the fundamental ingredients of the life of modern India.

    Two boys, with the help of a professor at the museum, learn to divide their animal pictures into the proper groups.

    In this introduction, Professor Sinkov explains some of the fundamental techniques at the basis of cryptanalytic endeavor from which much more sophisticated techniques have evolved, especially since the advent of computers. The mathematical topics relevant in these discussions include modular arithmetic, a little number theory, some linear algebra of two dimensions with matrices, some combinatorics, and a little statistics. Also included are programs in BASIC developed by Paul Irwin for use in his course based on this book.

    This work examines the effect of church policy on the Jewish population in the 15th century, and the points at which Jewish culture as a whole was altered by Spain’s actions.

    The King's tyrannical ways had offended the Church, the Barons, and the powerful city merchants, and everyone was seething with anger and discontent. Their only hope lay in finding a way to limit the power of the King; and so a set of laws or principles were drawn up in the form of a Charter."In June, 1215, on the little island of Runnymede in the Thames, the powerful Barons laid the Great Charter before King John, and he was obliged to accept it. When he set his seal upon it he was not only bringing immediate relief from tyranny to his own countrymen, but laying the foundation for the freedom of all English speaking people."

    Short Story: On an auto holiday though Argyll, the Gibsons stop to buy some slow glass.

    It's a simple enough question, but one that no one had ever asked before and one that couldn't actually be answered for another three centuries. Still, in trying to work out an answer, Kepler raised some fascinating questions about physics, math, and biology, and now you can watch in wonder as a great scientific genius unleashes the full force of his intellect on a seemingly trivial question, complete with new illustrations and essays to put it all in perspective."—io9, from their list "10 Amazing Science Books That Reveal The Wonders Of The Universe"When snow began to fall while he was walking across the Charles Bridge in Prague late in 1610, the eminent astronomer Johannes Kepler asked himself the following question: Why do snowflakes, when they first fall, and before they are entangled into larger clumps, always come down with six corners and with six radii tufted like feathers?In his effort to answer this charming and never-before-asked question about snowflakes, Kepler delves into the nature of beehives, peapods, pomegranates, five-petaled flowers, the spiral shape of the snail's shell, and the formative power of nature itself. While he did not answer his original question—it remained a mystery for another three hundred years—he did find an occasion for deep and playful thought."A most suitable book for any and all during the winter and holiday seasons is a reissue of a holiday present by the great mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler…Even the endnotes in this wonderful little book are interesting and educationally fun to read."—Jay Pasachoff, The Key ReporterNew English translation by Jacques BrombergLatin text on facing pagesAn essay, "The Delights of a Roving Mind" by Owen GingerichAn essay, "On The Six-Cornered Snowflake" by Guillermo BleichmarSnowflake illustrations by Capi Corrales RodriganezJohn Frederick Nims' poem "The Six-Cornered Snowflake"Notes by Jacques Bromberg and Guillermo BleichmarJohannes Kepler (1571-1631) was an important figure in the seventeenth century astronomical revolution. He is best known for his eponymous laws of planetary motion. Kepler wrote: "If there is anything that can bind the heavenly mind of man to this dusty exile of our earthly home…then it is verily the enjoyment of the mathematical sciences and astronomy."
