Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prince Kyanite is a human living in a world where vampires exist. One day, he is slain by the Tenth Vampire Prince. Supposedly, that’s how his story should’ve ended in the animation titled: The Tragedy of a Human Prince. Coincidentally, his death scene crossed the same time, day, and place when the gold-medalist Olympic swimmer, Lazuli Savelli, drowns and dies. As if by fate, she discovers herself reborn in the male body of Prince Kyanite, thus, downright altering the tragic ending of the animation. Puzzled and upset about these new and strange events in her life, Lazuli, as the new Prince Kyanite, explores this unfamiliar world where she, eventually, gets entangled in situations involving the very slayer of her character—Prince Chalcedony! Now, the only way to escape another tragedy she thought of was to get into the good graces of the beautiful and powerful Vampire Prince. However, the big question is: how will Lazuli do that when she knows nothing about the original Human Prince?
Download or read book Profits Priests and Princes written by Peter Minowitz and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In launching modern economics, Adam Smith paved the way for laissez-faire capitalism, Marxism, and contemporary social science. This book scrutinizes Smith's disparagement of politics and religion to illuminate the subtlety of his rhetoric, the depth of his thought, and the ultimate shortcomings of his project. The author analyzes Smith's ideas on government, justice, human psychology, and international relations, stressing Smith's efforts to elevate wealth at the expense of citizenship and to replace normative political philosophy with historical theorizing and empirical modeling that emphasize economic causes. The book also provides the most comprehensive interpretation available of Smith's views on religion, examining the discrepancies between The Wealth of Nations and The Theory of Moral Sentiments while demonstrating Smith's intransigent rejection of heaven, hell, Providence, Jesus, eschatology, prophecy, revelation, and theocracy. Throughout, the author combats superficial interpretations of Smith by revealing the complexity of his views on a variety of subjects: the deceptive allure of technology, wealth, power, and empire; the relationship between political and economic freedom; the impact of economic progress on warfare; the quarrel between ancients and moderns; the difficulties posed to the citizen by the burgeoning complexity of society; the differences between human wisdom, divine wisdom, and the wisdom of nature; the obstacles to separating church and state; and the social and psychological roots of religion. The concluding chapter appraises the demise of communism in light of the Marxian emancipation of economics from politics and religion.
Download or read book Princes of the Yen written by Richard Werner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-04 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eye-opening book offers a disturbing new look at Japan's post-war economy and the key factors that shaped it. It gives special emphasis to the 1980s and 1990s when Japan's economy experienced vast swings in activity. According to the author, the most recent upheaval in the Japanese economy is the result of the policies of a central bank less concerned with stimulating the economy than with its own turf battles and its ideological agenda to change Japan's economic structure. The book combines new historical research with an in-depth behind-the-scenes account of the bureaucratic competition between Japan's most important institutions: the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan. Drawing on new economic data and first-hand eyewitness accounts, it reveals little known monetary policy tools at the core of Japan's business cycle, identifies the key figures behind Japan's economy, and discusses their agenda. The book also highlights the implications for the rest of the world, and raises important questions about the concentration of power within central banks.

Download or read book Mirrors for Princes written by Michael Keeley and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mirrors for Princes is a history of the business book. Predating modern leadership and management literature by thousands of years, common to cultures throughout the world, mirrors for princes, as this genre was known, taught kings, queens, sultans, and other rulers how to lead their subjects. Machiavelli's The Prince and Aristotle's tips for tyrants in The Politics are but the best-known examples. Often written for general audiences, this literature also taught readers to copy the virtues of fabled leaders and to follow the lead of their own rulers. After falling out of favor for the last two centuries, the genre found new life in modern mirrors for managers, which are riddled with the same self-serving clichés. This book seeks to familiarize readers with the clichés of mirrors for princes, so they can more easily recognize them in both academic and popular literature on leadership"--

Download or read book Fate and Faith after Heidegger s Contributions to Philosophy written by Peter S. Dillard and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking new work, Dillard makes a powerful case for bringing contemporary Christian theology into critical dialogue with Martin Heidegger’s Contributions to Philosophy (Of the Event). Following his initial receptivity to theology in his early writings, Heidegger becomes increasingly agnostic and even atheistic in the 1930s until the sudden resurgence of religious discourse in Contributions. Dillard shows that there are good reasons for Heidegger’s striking reversal. Key philosophical concepts from Contributions enable Heidegger to overcome earlier theological conundrums left unresolved in his earlier engagements with themes in St. Paul and Luther, while the need to make a fateful decision regarding “the last god” prevents the central philosophical task of Contributions from collapsing into empty tautology or relapsing into objectionable metaphysics. Nevertheless, Heidegger leaves us in the predicament of having no clear idea of how we are to make the crucial decision about divinity. After considering several unsuccessful proposals for escaping the dilemma, Dillard develops a christological solution based on Heidegger’s engagement with the poetry of Georg Trakl. The resulting theological perspective is defended from some possible criticisms and situated within the broader context of contemporary postmetaphysical Heideggerian theology.

Download or read book The Future of Violence written by Benjamin Wittes and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two legal scholars explore the security and political implications of revolutionary new technologies from drones to 3-D printers, and explain how governments must adapt to our brave new world of dispersed threats. From drone warfare in the Middle East to digital spying by the National Security Agency, the U.S. government has harnessed the power of cutting-edge technology to awesome effect. But what happens when ordinary people have the same tools at their fingertips? Advances in cybertechnology, biotechnology, and robotics mean that more people than ever before have access to potentially dangerous technologies-from drones to computer networks and biological agents-which could be used to attack states and private citizens alike. In The Future of Violence, law and security experts Benjamin Wittes and Gabriella Blum detail the myriad possibilities, challenges, and enormous risks present in the modern world, and argue that if our national governments can no longer adequately protect us from harm, they will lose their legitimacy. Consequently, governments, companies, and citizens must rethink their security efforts to protect lives and liberty. In this brave new world where many little brothers are as menacing as any Big Brother, safeguarding our liberty and privacy may require strong domestic and international surveillance and regulatory controls. Maintaining security in this world where anyone can attack anyone requires a global perspective, with more multinational forces and greater action to protect (and protect against) weaker states who do not yet have the capability to police their own people. Drawing on political thinkers from Thomas Hobbes to the Founders and beyond, Wittes and Blum show that, despite recent protestations to the contrary, security and liberty are mutually supportive, and that we must embrace one to ensure the other. The Future of Violence is at once an introduction to our emerging world -- one in which students can print guns with 3-D printers and scientists' manipulations of viruses can be recreated and unleashed by ordinary people -- and an authoritative blueprint for how government must adapt in order to survive and protect us.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Conservation Biology written by Malcolm L. Hunter, Jr. and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FUNDAMENTALS OF CONSERVATION BIOLOGY “This book is about hope in the face of forces that would degrade our world. This book is about the rich tapestry of life that shares our world now and about how we can maintain it, sometimes in places that we protect and set aside, more often in places where we share the lands and waters with a wide range of other species.” For more than 30 years, Fundamentals of Conservation Biology has been a valued mainstay of the literature, serving both to introduce new students to this ever-changing topic, and to provide an essential resource for academics and researchers working in the discipline. In the decade since the publication of the third edition, concerns about humanity’s efforts to conserve the natural world have only grown deeper, as new threats to biodiversity continue to emerge. This fourth edition has taken into account a vast new literature, and boasts nearly a thousand new references as a result. By embracing new theory and practice and documenting many examples of both conservation successes and the hard lessons of real-world “wicked” environmental problems, Fundamentals of Conservation Biology remains a vital resource for biologists, conservationists, ecologists, environmentalists, and others.
Download or read book Power written by Raymond Angelo Belliotti and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2016-03-14 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frequently understood in simplistic and often highly negative terms, the concept of power has proven to be both uncommonly intriguing and maddeningly elusive. In Power, Raymond Angelo Belliotti begins by fashioning a general definition of power that is refined enough to capture the numerous types of power in all their multifaceted complexity. He then proceeds in a series of discrete yet thematically connected meditations to explore the meaning of power in ancient, modern, and contemporary thought. In grappling with the critical questions surrounding the accumulation, distribution, and exercise of personal and social power, this work allows us to confront fundamental questions of who we are and how we might live better lives.
Download or read book The Crimes of the Economy written by Vincenzo Ruggiero and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economists have often paid visits to the field of criminology, examining the rational logic of offending. When economists examine criminal activity, they imply that offenders should be treated like any other social actor making rational choices. In The Crimes of the Economy, Vincenzo Ruggiero turns the tables by examining a variety of economic schools of thought from a criminological perspective. Each one of these schools, he argues, justifies or even encourages harm produced by economic initiative. He investigates – among others – John Locke’s notion of private property, Mercantilism, the Physiocrats and Malthus, and the arguments of Adam Smith, Marshall, Keynes and neoliberalism. In each of these, the author identifies the potential justification of different forms of ‘crimes of the economy’ and victimisation. This book re-examines the history of economic thought, assessing it as the history of a discipline which, while attempting to gain scientific status, in reality seeks to make the social harm caused by economics acceptable. The book will be interesting and relevant to students and scholars of social theory, criminology, economics, philosophy and politics.
