A History of Man's Search to Know His World and Himself

Perhaps the greatest book by 1 of our greatest historians, Discoverers is a volume of sweeping range & majestic interpretation. To call it a history of science is an understatement; this is the story of how humankind has come to know the world, however incompletely, ("the eternal mystery of the world," Einstein once said, "is its comprehensibility"). Boorstin first describes the liberating concept of time- “the first grand discovery" & continues through the age of exploration & the advent of the natural & social sciences. The approach is idiosyncratic, with Boorstin lingering over particular figures & accomplishments rather than rushing on to the next set of names & dates. It's also primarily Western, although Boorstin does ask & answer several interesting questions: Why didn't the Chinese "discover" Europe & America? Why didn't the Arabs circumnavigate the planet?

The Timetables of History A Horizontal Linkage of People and Events

Jefferson and Hamilton (Hardcover)  From the award-winning author of Almost a Miracle and The Ascent of George Washington, this is the rare work of scholarship that offers us irresistible human drama even as it enriches our understanding of deep themes in our nation’s history.

The decade of the 1790s has been called the “age of passion.” Fervor ran high as rival factions battled over the course of the new republic - each side convinced that the other’s goals would betray the legacy of the Revolution so recently fought and so dearly won. All understood as well that what was at stake was not a moment’s political advantage, but the future course of the American experiment in democracy. In this epochal debate, no two figures loomed larger than Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.

The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene.

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. 

In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.

Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package,

The 48 Laws of Power - Paperback

by Richard Stemp. Very Good condition.  Some slight knicks  (158/137) Synopsis "Decoding the Sacred Symbolism of Christianity's Holy Buildings.  Who is depicted in that stained glass window? What is the significance of those geometric figures? Why are there fierce-looking beasts carved amidst all that beauty? Is there a deeper purpose behind the play of light and space in the nave? Why is there a pelican on the lectern and ornate foliage on the pillars? The largely illiterate medieval audience could read the symbols of churches and cathedrals and recognise the meanings and stories deliberately encoded into them. For worshippers these were places of religious education and an awe-inspiring feast that satisfied both the senses and the soul. Today, in an age less attuned to iconography, such places of worship are often seen merely as magnificent works of architecture. This book restores the lost spiritual meaning of these fine and fascinating buildings.
