Book excerpt: Jonas Clark, A 33-year-old investment banker, is jolted awake one Friday morning by his girlfriend, in bed next to him, screaming and covered in blood. When he discovers the blood is his, and that he's bleeding from painful puncture wounds in both his hands and his feet, he becomes even more alarmed. He has no memory of how they got there, or who made them.In the ensuing weeks, Jonas struggles to come to terms with the wounds-and the pain-as they appear, then disappear, every Friday thereafter. Is he subconsciously inflicting the wounds himself, as the doctors claim, or is there something more surreal going on? Join Jonas on his journey of discovery as he searches for answers, finally finding them-in the last place he thought to look.
Download or read book Masters and Slaves written by Michael Palmer and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2001 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays sheds light on the writings of leading figures in the history of political philosophy by exploring a nexus of questions concerning mastery and slavery in the human soul. To this end, Masters and Slaves elucidates archetypal human alternatives in their import for political life: the philosopher and king; the lover of wisdom and the lover of glory; the king and the tyrant; and finally, the master and the slave. Palmer re-examines these ideas as a framework for achieving a deeper understanding of the work of famous thinkers--from the ancient to modern times--including Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Hobbes, and Rousseau. As well, the book addresses distinctions between the 'ancients' and the 'moderns, ' and touches on the work of contemporary theorists such as Leo Strauss, George Parkin Grant, and Allan Bloom.

Download or read book The Laconia Incident written by Gene Masters and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Laconia Incident is the true story of Korvettenkapitan Werner Hartenstein, captain of the WWII German submarine, U-156. It is Hartenstein's boat that attacks and sinks the Laconia on September 12, 1942. The subsequent, unprecedented actions taken by him, his crew, and the German U-Boat Command, after the actual torpedoing and sinking of the Laconia, make for a truly amazing tale. It's a story of how civility and mercy survive, even amidst the savagery and brutality of all-out war. It also shows how even the best-intentioned efforts can be foiled by stubborn adherence to well-established preconceptions, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Download or read book The Scientific Life written by Steven Shapin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are scientists? What kind of people are they? What capacities and virtues are thought to stand behind their considerable authority? They are experts—indeed, highly respected experts—authorized to describe and interpret the natural world and widely trusted to help transform knowledge into power and profit. But are they morally different from other people? The Scientific Life is historian Steven Shapin’s story about who scientists are, who we think they are, and why our sensibilities about such things matter. Conventional wisdom has long held that scientists are neither better nor worse than anyone else, that personal virtue does not necessarily accompany technical expertise, and that scientific practice is profoundly impersonal. Shapin, however, here shows how the uncertainties attending scientific research make the virtues of individual researchers intrinsic to scientific work. From the early twentieth-century origins of corporate research laboratories to the high-flying scientific entrepreneurship of the present, Shapin argues that the radical uncertainties of much contemporary science have made personal virtues more central to its practice than ever before, and he also reveals how radically novel aspects of late modern science have unexpectedly deep historical roots. His elegantly conceived history of the scientific career and character ultimately encourages us to reconsider the very nature of the technical and moral worlds in which we now live. Building on the insights of Shapin’s last three influential books, featuring an utterly fascinating cast of characters, and brimming with bold and original claims, The Scientific Life is essential reading for anyone wanting to reflect on late modern American culture and how it has been shaped.

Book excerpt: A collection of thirteen short stories written over the past few years as the spirit moved him, by author Gene Masters. An idea might come at an odd time, stew in his mind for a while, and he would have to set it down on paper. It would not be nearly enough for a novel, but would be an interesting story anyway - at least to the author. He would come back to it later, revise, add, subtract. One can easily tell from the mix of subjects, and the eclectic subject matter, that Gene's mind works in strange ways. There's his history - decades old history, now - in diesel-electric submarines, coupled with his fascination with all things military. These are contrasted with his conviction that war, however apparently valid the cause, is the ultimate expression of mankind's utter stupidity.Where the rest of these stories came from Masters cannot say: a man sentenced to crucifixion for a minor offense, a person who cannot quite glimpse the ghosts pursuing him, a mob hit gone sour, some social commentary, and some other weird happenings.These are thirteen stories that he considers his most interesting. He does so hope you agree.

Book excerpt: A hard look at the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and the families desperately trying to navigate their way through it. The Vaccine Court looks at the mysterious and often unknown world of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP), the only recourse for seeking compensation for those who have been injured by a vaccine. The NVICP, better known as the ”Vaccine Court,” however, is not without controversy. Established by Congress as a direct result of the passage of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, the NVICP was supposed to offer a no-fault alternative to the traditional injury claims filed in state or federal courts and was to provide quick, efficient, and fair compensation for those who have been injured by vaccines. The reality, however, is that many cases take several years or longer to complete and require tremendous commitment from families already pushed to the brink of bankruptcy caring for the vaccine-injured family member, only to discover that the end result is manipulated by the government in defense of the US vaccine policy. Mr. Rohde looks into the inner workings of the US Federal Claims Court and the NVICP. He interviews families who have filed petitions and won compensation, families who have been denied compensation, and families still waiting for a decision. By highlighting the journeys of these families—their efforts to find attorneys willing to represent them, the filing of their petitions, and the subsequent mountain of paperwork, medical records, and other documents that span years—Mr. Rohde exposes the bitter truth behind the NVICP. Through his thoughtful interviews and fact-finding research, The Vaccine Court sheds light on how the NVICP has evolved into something far more treacherous than what Congress envisioned with the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act in 1986.
