Agnostic: A Spirited Manifesto
by Lesley HazletonA widely admired writer on religion celebrates agnosticism as the most vibrant, engaging--and ultimately the most honest--stance toward the mysteries of existence. One in four Americans reject any affiliation with organized religion, and nearly half of those under thirty describe themselves as "spiritual but not religious." But as the airwaves resound with the haranguing of preachers and pundits, who speaks for the millions who find no joy in whittling the wonder of existence to a simple yes/no choice? Lesley Hazleton does. In this provocative, brilliant book, she gives voice to the case for agnosticism, breaks it free of its stereotypes as watered-down atheism or amorphous "seeking," and celebrates it as a reasoned, revealing, and sustaining stance toward life. Stepping over the lines imposed by rigid conviction, she draws on philosophy, theology, psychology, science, and more to explore, with curiosity and passion, the vital role of mystery in a deceptively information-rich world; to ask what we mean by the search for meaning; to invoke the humbling yet elating perspective of infinity; to challenge received ideas about death; and to reconsider what "the soul" might be. Inspired and inspiring, Agnostic recasts the question of belief not as a problem to be solved but as an invitation to an ongoing, open-ended adventure of the mind.From the Hardcover edition.
Agony and Eloquence: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and a World of Revolution
by Daniel Mallock<P>The drama of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson is the foundational story of America--courage, loyalty, hope, fanaticism, greatness, failure, forgiveness, love. <P> Agony and Eloquence is the story of the greatest friendship in American history and the revolutionary times in which it was made, ruined, and finally renewed. <P> In the wake of Washington’s retirement, longtime friends Thomas Jefferson and John Adams came to represent the opposing political forces struggling to shape America’s future. Adams’s victory in the presidential election of 1796 brought Jefferson into his administration--but as an unlikely and deeply conflicted vice president. <P>The bloody Republican revolution in France finally brought their political differences to a bitter pitch. In Mallock’s take on this fascinating period, French foreign policy and revolutionary developments--from the fall of the Bastille to the fall of the Jacobins and the rise of Napoleon--form a disturbing and illuminating counterpoint to events, controversies, individuals, and relationships in Philadelphia and Washington. <P>Many important and fascinating people appear in the book, including Thomas Paine, Camille Desmoulins, Dr. Benjamin Rush, Tobias Lear, Talleyrand, Robespierre, Danton, Saint-Just, Abigail Adams, Lafayette, James Madison, John Quincy Adams, Dr. Joseph Priestley, Samuel Adams, Philip Mazzei, John Marshall, Alexander Hamilton, and Edward Coles. They are brought to life by Mallock’s insightful analysis and clear and lively writing. <P>Agony and Eloquence is a thoroughly researched and tautly written modern history. When the most important thing is at stake, almost anything can be justified. <P><b>A New York Times Bestseller</b>

Agorafabulous!: Dispatches from My Bedroom
by Sara Benincasa“Sara Benincasa is one of the funniest writers I know—and I know a disturbing number of them. She is also one of the most honest.”—Sam Apple, author of American Parent and editor-in-chief of The Faster Times “Sara is extremely funny and should have many books out so we can all read them and laugh.” —Margaret ChoComedian, writer, blogger, radio and podcast host, and YouTube sensation, Sara Benincasa bravely and outrageously brings us “Dispatches from My Bedroom” with Agorafabulous! One of the funniest and most poignant books ever written about a mental illness, Agorafabulous! is a hilarious, raw, and unforgettable account of how a terrified young woman, literally trapped by her own imagination, evolved into a (relatively) high-functioning professional smartass. Down to earth and seriously funny, Benincasa’s no-holds-barred revelations offer readers the politically incorrect hilarity they heartily crave, yet is so often missing from your typical, weepy, and redemptive personal memoir.
Agricola and Germania
by TacitusThe Agricola is both a portrait of Julius Agricola - the most famous governor of Roman Britain and Tacitus' well-loved and respected father-in-law - and the first detailed account of Britain that has come down to us. It offers fascinating descriptions of the geography, climate and peoples of the country, and a succinct account of the early stages of the Roman occupation, nearly fatally undermined by Boudicca's revolt in AD 61 but consolidated by campaigns that took Agricola as far as Anglesey and northern Scotland. The warlike German tribes are the focus of Tacitus' attention in the Germania, which, like the Agricola, often compares the behaviour of 'barbarian' peoples favourably with the decadence and corruption of Imperial Rome.
Agricola and the Germania (Penguin Classics)
by Tacitus Harold Mattingly James RivesAgrícola is a tribute to an admired father-in-law, whose greatest accomplishment was his role in the Roman conquest of Britain, and Germania is a description of the peoples who lived beyond the Rhine and the upper Danube, the boundaries of the Roman empire in western Europe. These two short works, dating to AD 97-81 were the first historically oriented compositions of Tacitus, who would go on to become one of the greatest historians of ancient Rome.
Agrippina: The Most Extraordinary Woman Of The Roman World
by Emma SouthonSister of Caligula. Wife of Claudius. Mother of Nero. The story of Agrippina, at the center of imperial power for three generations, is the story of the Julio-Claudia dynasty—and of Rome itself, at its bloody, extravagant, chaotic, ruthless, and political zenith. In her own time, she was recognized as a woman of unparalleled power. Beautiful and intelligent, she was portrayed as alternately a ruthless murderer and helpless victim, the most loving mother and the most powerful woman of the Roman empire, using sex, motherhood, manipulation, and violence to get her way, and single-minded in her pursuit of power for herself and her son, Nero. This book follows Agrippina as a daughter, born in Cologne, to the expected heir to Augustus’s throne; as a sister to Caligula who raped his sisters and showered them with honors until they attempted rebellion against him and were exiled; as a seductive niece and then wife to Claudius who gave her access to near unlimited power; and then as a mother to Nero—who adored her until he had her assassinated. Through senatorial political intrigue, assassination attempts, and exile to a small island, to the heights of imperial power, thrones, and golden cloaks and games and adoration, Agrippina scaled the absolute limits of female power in Rome. Her biography is also the story of the first Roman imperial family—the Julio-Claudians—and of the glory and corruption of the empire itself.
Ah el amor...
by Héctor Abad FaciolinceFlash recupera «Ah, el amor...», un maravilloso conjunto de ensayos cortos procedentes de Las formas de la pereza, libro hasta ahora inédito en España. Incluye un nuevo texto del autor que demuestra que el amor y su eternidad están más vigentes que nunca. Héctor Abad Faciolince, una de las voces más poderosas de la literatura latinoamericana actual, ahonda en el amor y sus formas para ofrecer un retrato fiel, agudo y ameno del mito romántico y los caminos —si es que existen— a través de los que llegar a él. Como el propio autor señala, no somos ángeles, sino humanos, y todas nuestras acciones están traspasadas por la inevitable imperfección. Para tratar de perdonar y de perdonarse las miserias inherentes a la naturaleza humana, Faciolince conversa con Quevedo, con Lope de Vega, con Tolstói, con Voltaire, con Kant o con san Pablo. En ellos descubre la verdad más pura de todas: el amor, esa trampa de la naturaleza, es y seguirá siendo una mentira en la todos creemos y una trampa en la que todos queremos caer. «Puede que nos convenga estar solos, pero lo cierto es que muy pocos soportan la soledad. Por eso nos casamos y descasamos y volvemos a casar: por una lucha sin fin para evadir la soledad, a través de un matrimonio ideal (si se pudiera), pero si no, al menos a través de un matrimonio real». De El olvido que seremos se dijo:«La más apasionante experiencia de lector de mis últimos años».Mario Vargas Llosa «Un libro tremendo y necesario, de un coraje y una honestidad arrasadores. Por momentos me he preguntado cómo ha tenido la valentía de escribirlo».Javier Cercas «Un libro hermoso, auténtico y conmovedor».Rosa Montero «No sé si un libro puede cambiar la vida, pero sí que puede alterar tu reloj biológico. Me mantuvo en vigilia toda la noche. Es un libro con boca. La boca inolvidable de la gran literatura que ha sobrevivido a la extinción de las palabras».Manuel Rivas

Ahead of the Curve: David Baltimore's Life in Science
by Shane CrottyShane Crotty's biography of David Baltimore details the life and work of one of the most brilliant, powerful, and controversial scientists of our time. Although only in his early sixties, Baltimore has made major discoveries in molecular biology, established the prestigious Whitehead Institute at MIT, been president of Rockefeller University, won the Nobel Prize, and been vilified by detractors in one of the most scandalous and protracted investigations of scientific fraud ever. He is now president of Caltech and a leader in the search for an AIDS vaccine. Crotty not only tells the compelling story of this larger-than-life figure, he also treats the reader to a lucid account of the amazing revolution that has occurred in biology during the past forty years. Basing his narrative on many personal interviews, Crotty recounts the milestones of Baltimore's career: completing his Ph. D. at Rockefeller University in eighteen months, participating in the anti--Vietnam War movement, winning a Nobel Prize at age thirty-seven for the co-discovery of reverse transcriptase, and co-organizing the recombinant DNA/genetic engineering moratorium. Along the way, readers learn what viruses are and what they do, what cancer is and how it happens, the complexities of the AIDS problem, how genetic engineering works, and why making a vaccine is a complicated process. And, as Crotty considers Baltimore's public life, he retells the famous scientific fraud saga and Baltimore's vindication after a decade of character assassination. Crotty possesses the alchemical skill of converting technical scientific history into entertaining prose as he conveys Baltimore's huge ambitions, intensity, scientific genius, attitude toward science and politics, and Baltimore's own view about what happened in the "Baltimore Affair. "Ahead of the Curve shows why with his complex personality, keen involvement in public issues, and wide-ranging interests David Baltimore has not only shaped the face of American science as we know it today, but has also become a presence in our culture.

Ahora imagino cosas
by Julián Herbert«¿Herbert escribe memorias? ¿Ensayos? ¿Novelas? Sus libros son mash-ups de recuerdos, investigación y ornamentación ficcional, marcados por una cálida falta de respeto por los géneros -como es la vida.» The New York Times Si, como dijo Alfonso Reyes, el ensayo es el centauro de los géneros, la crónica es un mestizo más exótico o salvaje: el grifo de la literatura. Este libro es una jaula sin barrotes donde merodean algunas de esas criaturas: la marchita eternidad de Acapulco y la vocación de Mazatlán como food court del alma; una temporada de rockstar en el desierto y un recuerdo del Mundial de Alemania 2006 robado por el autor a un examante de su novia; un hotel en Shanghái donde toca la banda de jazz más antigua del mundo y la visita de la reina de Inglaterra al puerto de La Paz, Baja California Sur; el brutal asesinato de una adolescente chilena en la región del Maule y un retrato a mano alzada del Fiscal de Hierro, persecutor de guerrilleros suicidas, homeópatas marxistas y gavillas narcomatriarcales que protagonizó la lucha contra la delincuencia organizada en los años setenta en Nuevo Laredo. Las ocho narraciones de este libro realizan una de las suertes mayores de la literatura: ir de lo íntimo a lo general, o viceversa. También nos recuerdan que no hay promesas sin resaca.

Ahoti: A Novel
by Eva Marie Everson Miriam Feinberg VamoshA masterful retelling of Tamar's story of redemption, faith, healing, and justice. "As an author of biblical fiction, I know the amount of research and work that goes into crafting a story like this. Miriam Feinberg Vamosh and Eva Marie Everson comprise the perfect team." —Jerry B. Jenkins, THE CHOSEN series. Ravaged by one brother, silenced and betrayed by another, and abandoned by her father King David, Tamar—once beloved daughter of the king of Israel, and healer of the court—suddenly finds herself in exile, fleeing for her life. But the story continues where the scriptures end: a dangerous journey and tenacious pursuit of her true identity and calling brings her full circle, to her rightful place in the kingdom. Enthusiasts of Biblical Fiction will love Ahoti. Ahoti brings to life the Old Testament story of the biblical princess Tamar, the daughter of David, King of Israel. The familiar Bible story ends with Tamar living "desolate" (2 Samuel 13:20), but master storytellers Miriam Feinberg Vamosh and Eva Marie Everson take readers beyond this sorrowful ending to a horizon of hope, thanks to their brilliant adaptation of an ancient anonymous manuscript, purportedly written by Gad the Seer (1 Chronicles 29:29), which was discovered in India in the early 18th century. Beyond the biblical text, this manuscript provides a surprising conclusion, which has powerful modern-day significance. Rich with cultural, biblical, and historic detail, and spiritually compelling, Ahoti will inspire readers to overcome humiliation, pain, betrayal, and bitterness, to embrace a life of purpose. "Vamosh (The Scroll) and Everson (The Ornament Keeper) put an empowering spin on the biblical story of Tamar, the daughter of King David...[I]t's a welcome and often gripping portrait of the unsung courage of a biblical heroine."—Publishers Weekly.

An aide-de-camp of Napoleon. Memoirs of General Count de Ségur, of the French academy, 1800-1812
by Général Comte Phillipe-Paul de Ségur Comte Louis-Phillipe-Antoine-Charles de Ségur Mrs Harriette Anne Crookesley Patchett-MartinSeeing a regiment of Dragoons process through Paris in 1800, Philippe de Ségur decided to join the French cavalry at the ripe old age of 19, swiftly becoming part of Napoleon's headquarters staff. From then on, his career was to be unlike many of his contemporaries, for he was the son of a well-connected father and a protégé of Napoleon's confidante, Grand-Marshal Duroc. He saw service in all of the major Napoleonic campaigns, not just a courtier, distinguished in the crucible of the cavalry charge of Somosierra and also the battlefields of Hanau and Reims.For his service under Napoleon he was forced into retirement from the army and took to writing his memoirs and historical works. His scathing attack on Napoleon's conduct during the Russian campaign Histoire de Napoléon et de la grande armée pendant l'année 1812 provoked an uproar among Napoleonic loyalists and landed de Ségur in a duel. His further memoirs were published posthumously, a three volume account edited by his grandson, and this edited version was translated into English. Being at the hub of Napoleon's headquarters gave him the opportunity to see into most of the major events of the era and he recorded these with wit and an impressive eye for detail.These memoirs are a must for any enthusiast of the Napoleonic period.Author -- Général Comte Phillipe-Paul de Ségur, 1780-1873Editor - Comte Louis-Phillipe-Antoine-Charles de Ségur, b. 1838Translator - Mrs. Harriette Anne Crookesley Patchett-MartinText taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in New York, D. Appleton and company, 1895.Original Page Count - xxvi, 440 p.
AIDS Doctors: An Oral History
by Ronald Bayer Gerald M. OppenheimerToday, AIDS has been indelibly etched in our consciousness. Yet it was less than twenty years ago that doctors confronted a sudden avalanche of strange, inexplicable, seemingly untreatable conditions that signaled the arrival of a devastating new disease. Bewildered, unprepared, and pushed to the limit of their diagnostic abilities, a select group of courageous physicians nevertheless persevered. This unique collective memoir tells their story. <p><p> Based on interviews with nearly eighty doctors whose lives and careers have centered on the AIDS epidemic from the early 1980s to the present, this candid, emotionally textured account details the palpable anxiety in the medical profession as it experienced a rapid succession of cases for which there was no clinical history. The physicians interviewed chronicle the roller coaster experiences of hope and despair, as they applied newly developed, often unsuccessful therapies. Yet these physicians who chose to embrace the challenge confronted more than just the sense of therapeutic helplessness in dealing with a disease they could not conquer. They also faced the tough choices inherent in treating a controversial, sexually and intravenously transmitted illness as many colleagues simply walked away. Many describe being gripped by a sense of mission: by the moral imperative to treat the disempowered and despised. Nearly all describe a common purpose, an esprit de corps that bound them together in a terrible yet exhilarating war against an invisible enemy. <p> This extraordinary oral history forms a landmark effort in the understanding of the AIDS crisis. Carefully collected and eloquently told, the doctors' narratives reveal the tenacity and unquenchable optimism that has paved the way for taming a 20th-century plague.

Now an 8th dan Aikido master teacher, Nadeau has taught generations of students, and several have become prominent teachers in their own right. However, he has never written about his life or philosophy, always reserving his most pointed lessons for those who practice with him in person.This book tells the story of Robert Nadeau&’s life journey and his distinctive approach to teaching Aikido as a way to access the inner energetic aspects of the art, a transformational approach with universal applications in daily life, even for non-Aikidoists. The authors explore Nadeau&’s early interest in martial arts and all things spiritual as a teenager in California in the 1950s, his seminal training under Morihei Ueshiba at Aikido Hombu Dojo in Tokyo in the 1960s, and the following six decades of training, experimenting, refining, and teaching as he worked to introduce Aikido to the wider world, even beyond the traditional dojo. They lay out Nadeau&’s core concepts, describe his simple-but-effective practices for personal development, and convey his time-tested approach to the inner training at the heart of Aikido in a very accessible way. They also include first-person accounts from Nadeau&’s students, including Dan Millman, Richard Strozzi-Heckler, Peter Ralston, and Renée Gregorio, who recall their personal experiences of training with him, retell conversations with him, and describe insights and lessons learned, sharing how he affected their lives, sometimes quite profoundly.Bringing the story of Robert Nadeau&’s life into focus, this book presents, for the first time, the profound lessons and deep impact of a pioneering teacher who&’s been central to the spread of Aikido in the West.
