GETTING WHAT YOU WANT CL - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: My intention in this book is polemical, but not rhetorical. For while I shall try to persuade readers that the whole idea of a liberal morality is in the end untenable, the very possibility of my doing so rests on a sense of, and a confidence in, a rationality which it is liberalism’s great achievement to have bequeathed us. Thus an underlying theme is that liberalism’s loss of confidence in a universal and impartial rationality, resulting in its transformation into the series of relativisms now described as postmodernism, is misplaced; but that the seeds of this transformation have lain dormant in the liberal tradition. In particular, it is liberalism’s difficulties in justifying morality which are central to that transfor mation and which show why, its achievements notwithstanding, liberal morality is in the end conceptually inadequate to the point of being corrosive. My argument is simply that liberal morality is unsustainable because it cannot offer a rationally adequate account either of morality as a fact of everyday life or of any possible justification of moral principles and moral demands. I hope to lay the ground, in the longer run, for the possibility of a thoroughly rationalistic account and justification of morality; to refute both amoralists who reject the claims of morality upon them and (philosophical) sceptics who, however they may actually behave, reject the possibility of any rational justification of (even their own) moral actions and judgements. In rejecting liberal morality and liberal theories of morality, then, I am emphatically not rejecting the liberal conception of rationality. In particular, I share the aspirations of classical no less than later nineteenth- and earlier twentieth-century liberals to a universal and impartial rationality—even if imperfectly realized, in that tradition as elsewhere, and even if too often limited to questions of means rather than extending also to ends
How You Can Kill Al Qaeda: (In 3 Easy Steps) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: I downloaded this title at the beginning of my lunch break and had finished consuming it before the break was over. The book is quite short and with a heavy measure of whitespace could more accurately be called a pamphlet. The book's admirable goal of killing al qaeda once and for all is probably more accurately stated as killing al qaedea's recruiting worldwide than actually killing current members of al qaeda. This is the thrust of the book. Clark lays out a plan for action that essentially calls on non-governmental organizations and individuals to present counter-propaganda online. Some specific language to reference is provided in order to demean and delegitamize the militaristic messages of al qaeda online in the sight of would-be recruits. While bringing down recruiting is a solid long-term goal, I believe the title is a bit misleading. The items laid out in the book are nothing new and seem pretty obvious, albeit under-utilized tools. This book is a quick, easy read. No deep understanding of islam or the "muslim world" are necessary. My central complaint about the book is the price:length ratio is a bit high.
X-Treme Latin: All the Latin You Need to Know for Survival in the 21st Century - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Did these other reviewers read the same book? It consists of very tired uhmm ... "jokes," which you have to know Latin for in order to get the "hilarious" translations. Translating something lame into Latin does not make it funny! The only tidbit I found amusing was on p.15, the Latin for 'If you can read this, I lost my trailer,' which would be pretty funny to have in South Carolina. As for the rest of this yawnfest, the only Latin you need to know is 'caveat emptor'.
You Are Here: Exposing the Vital Link Between What We Do and What That Does to Our Planet - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In this groundbreaking book, the New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Green Book Thomas M. Kostigen reveals the vital missing link in today's environmental crisis: how we as individuals are connected to the most tenuous geography on the planet. Despite the recent prominence of ''green'' issues in the news, the direct relationship between our actions and the earth is too often ignored. But the seemingly insignificant things we do every day have the power to literally alter the landscape in the ongoing battle to resuscitate the planet. There are living narratives of climate change that reveal the consequences of our everyday actions. You Are Here allows us to both comprehend and care about what's happening in these encampments of ruin. Kostigen shows us what may well be a glimpse of our future in Linfen City, China, one of the most polluted places on the planet. From a garbage patch twice the size of Texas in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, to the melting arctic ice shelf, to the flood zone that is Mumbai, India, to the dwindling rainforests of the Amazon, You Are Here describes the environmental crisis in a way we can feel, see, and touch. Kostigen presents us with opportunities for change and shows us how to take action on the spot, wherever we are. Combining groundbreaking research and page-turning frontline reporting, Kostigen pulls back the curtain on the most pressing and provocative issues of the day and in so doing we see the earth and our place on it in a brand new light.
He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: A collective epiphany burst forth in the room, and for me in particular. All these years I’d been complaining about men and their mixed messages; now I saw they weren’t mixed messages at all. I was the one that was mixed up. Because the fact was, these men had simply not been that into me. Now, at first glance it seems that this should have been demoralizing to us, it should have sent us all into a tailspin. Yet the opposite was true. Knowledge is power, and more importantly, knowledge saves us time. I realized that from that day forward I would be spared hours and hours of waiting by the phone, hours and hours of obsessing with my girlfriends, hours and hours of just hoping his mixed messages really meant “I’m in love with you and want to be with you.” Greg reminded us that we were all beautiful, smart, funny women, and we shouldn’t be wasting our time figuring out why a guy isn’t calling us. As Greg put it, we shouldn’t waste the pretty. It’s hard. We’re taught that in life, we should try to look on the bright side, to be optimistic. Not in this case. In this case, look on the dark side. Assume rejection first. Assume you’re the rule, not the exception. It’s intoxicatingly liberating. But we also know it’s not an easy concept. Because this is what we do: We go out with someone, we get excited about them, and then they do something that mildly disappoints us. Then they keep doing a lot more things that disappoint us. Then we go into hyper-excuse mode for weeks or possibly months, because the last thing we want to think is that this great man that we are so excited about is in the process of turning into a creep. We try to come up with some explanation He’sJustNotThatIntoYou for why they’re behaving that way, any explanation, no matter how ridiculous, than the one explanation that’s the truth: He’s just not that into me. That’s why we’ve included questions from women taken from real situations. They represent the basic excuses we all use that keep us in situations far longer than we should be. So read, enjoy, and hopefully learn from other women’s confusion. And above all, if the guy you’re dating doesn’t seem to be completely into you, or you feel the need to start “figuring him out,” please consider the glorious thought that he might just not be that into you. And then free yourself to go find the one that is. Introduction by Greg So I’m sitting in the writers’ room at Sex and the City pondering my good fortune to be the only straight male on the predominantly female writing staff (actually I’m just eating a cookie), when the writers begin talking about guys they’re seeing. This is a common occurrence, as it is part of the writing process for a show that explores romantic relationships. It is endlessly fascinating. I know that sounds sarcastic, but I’m being for real.
Have You Truly Been Born Again of Water and the Spirit? - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: This is the first book in this age to preach the gospel of the baptism and the blood of Jesus as it is written in the Scriptures. The true gospel clearly tells us that He took away all our sins through His baptism and took over judgment for all our sins on the Cross. I am sure that there is no other book that preaches вЂthe gospel of the water and the blood’ more clearly and faithfully than this one. The Samaritan woman who drank from the well of Jacob everyday couldn’t quench her spiritual thirst, but when she drank the water of life from Jesus, she earned salvation and thus, quenched her thirst immediately and forever. All of humankind must be born again. We have to be born again through our faiths, be redeemed from all our sins and become righteous. For only then can we enter the eternal Kingdom of Heaven. The Bible says, ''Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God'' (John 3:5). ''To be born again of water and the Spirit'' is the only way we can enter the eternal Kingdom of God. What, then, is this вЂwater’ and вЂthe Spirit’ that allows us to be born again? The вЂwater’ in the Bible refers to вЂthe baptism of Jesus.’ Why was Jesus, who is God, baptized by John the Baptist? Was it to show His humility? Was it to proclaim Himself the Messiah? No, it wasn’t. When Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist by means of вЂthe laying on of hands’ (Leviticus 16:21), it was вЂone Man’s righteous act’ (Romans 5:18), which took away all the sins of humankind. In the Old Testament, God gave Israel the merciful law of redemption. This was so that on the Day of Atonement, all the sins of Israel for that year could be expiated through the High Priest, Aaron, by laying his hands on the head of the вЂscapegoat’ and passing all the sins onto that scapegoat. These were the words of revelation, which foretold the sacrifice of eternal atonement. It revealed the truth that all the sins of humanity would be passed onto Jesus all at once, who came in the flesh of a man, according to the will of the Father. And He was baptized by John the Baptist who was the descendant of Aaron and the representative of all humankind. When Jesus was baptized, He said to John, ''Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness'' (Matthew 3:15). Here, вЂfor thus’ means вЂby the laying on of hands,’ in order to pass all the sins of the world onto Jesus, so that all righteousness might be fulfilled for all of us. The word вЂrighteousness’ is вЂdikaiosune’ in Greek, and its meaning is ''the fairest state'' or ''to be just in character or deeds with the implication of being righteous or fitting.'' Jesus had fulfilled all righteousness for all people through His baptism in a just and fitting manner. Because Jesus took on all the sins of people through His baptism, the next day, John the Baptist testified, ''Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!'' (John 1:29) With all the sins of humankind on His shoulders, Jesus walked toward the Cross. He vicariously took the judgment for all the sins He had taken on Himself through His baptism. He died on the Cross, saying, ''It is finished'' (John 19:30). He took all our sins onto Himself and received the complete judgment for them in our place.
