Автор: Mock Janet Название: Surpassing Certainty: What My Twenties Taught Me ISBN: 1501145800 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781501145803 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 15630.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: "A defining chronicle of strength and spirit" (Kirkus Reviews), Surpassing Certainty is a portrait of a young woman searching for her purpose and place in the world-without a road map to guide her. This memoir "should be required reading for your 20s" (Cosmopolitan). A few months before her twentieth birthday, Janet Mock is adjusting to her days as a first-generation college student at the University of Hawaii and her nights as a dancer at a strip club.
Finally content in her body after her teenage transition, she vacillates between flaunting and concealing herself as she navigates dating and disclosure, sex and intimacy, and most important, letting herself be truly seen. Under the neon lights of Club Nu, Janet meets Troy, a yeoman stationed at Pearl Harbor naval base, who becomes her first. The pleasures and perils of their relationship serve as a backdrop for Janet's progression through all the universal growing pains-falling in and out of love, living away from home, and figuring out what she wants to do with her life.
Fueled by her dreams and an inimitable drive, Janet makes her way through New York City intent on building a career in the highly competitive world of magazine publishing-within the unique context of being trans, a woman, and a person of color. Hers is a timely glimpse about the barriers many face-and a much-needed guide on how to make a way out of no way. Long before she became one of the world's most respected media figures and lauded leaders for equality and justice, Janet learned how to advocate for herself before becoming an advocate for others.
In this "honest and timely appraisal of what it means to be true to yourself" (Booklist), Surpassing Certainty offers an "exquisitely packaged gift of her experiences...that signals something greater" (Bitch Magazine).

From World War II to Vietnam to Iraq, from New World Order to antiwar "mobes" to "Mission Accomplished," An Imperfect Certainty tells the dramatic, sometimes heartbreaking, ultimately uplifting story of three generations of Americans as they contend with the wars and social upheavals that define their times--and help illuminate our own.
At the end of May 1944, Stephen Wroth--Bronx high school class president, athlete, and marginally observant Jew--enlists in the army. By the time his war is over, he will somehow survive from the South of France to Bavaria; see his best friend killed in circumstances that suffuse him with guilt; commit murder; take part in the liberation of Dachau, where he will meet his future wife; and forge the worldview that will define him--and haunt him and his family--for the rest of their lives.
By the1960s, Stephen is living a seemingly comfortable life with his wife, Annalise, and their three nearly-grown children, Sandra, Jacob, and Ben, all of whom have been swept up in the turbulence of the antiwar and civil rights movements. Stephen and Annalise have arrived at this stage of their lives holding very different outlooks--crucially, including opposing positions on the Vietnam war. The result proves calamitous for them and their children as, by the mid-1970s, one son is lost, another is in exile, and Stephen and Annalise's marriage has imploded.
The dawn of the new millennium finds the Wroth family far-flung--but still clutching at a few remaining, fragile ties. Stephen and Annalise's grandson, Michael, has been grievously wounded in Iraq. At the same time, Annalise, who long ago resettled in Israel, is preparing for a commemoration of the liberation of Dachau, when another grandson is injured in a terrorist bombing in Jerusalem. These events bring together the three generations, each one the distillation of a family of individuals who have, in their own ways, molded their futures.
From the acclaimed author of Keeping Gideon and Ingersoll, the story told in An Imperfect Certainty poses the essential question for us all: How do we shape the future, and who will own it?

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT DECEMBER...
Madeleine Joy is feeling more meh than merry. When an Icelandic volcano erupts six days before Christmas, hazardous ash congests European airspace, canceling flights indefinitely-including the thirtysomething's connection to Paris. Stranded alone in London, separated from her sister, and with the devastating one-year anniversary of her best friend's tragic death just days away, Madeleine has never felt less festive. And as if things couldn't get worse, the cute guy driving the cab to her hotel won't shut up about carolers and tinsel...
Julian Halliwell is one of life's sunny optimists. A former music journalist, he's embraced his love for London by starting his own black cab business, enthusiastically ferrying passengers from one historic landmark to another. But life hasn't always been easy for Julian. Having navigated several life-changing setbacks including a cruel betrayal by his former fiancйe, Julian remains hopeful that he'll meet somebody kind, who shares his love of music, his corgi named Winnie, and of course, the magic of Christmas time in London.
Despite being an unlikely match, fate seems determined to throw them together. But can the grieving American find joy again in a world where the lights have all but dimmed?
From Jacquelyn Middleton, the award-winning author of UNTIL THE LAST STAR FADES, comes a heartwarming Christmas story of love, loss, serendipity, and the belief that what's meant for you won't pass you by.

Автор: Brice Robert Greenleaf, Greenleaf Brice Robert Название: Exploring Certainty: Wittgenstein and Wide Fields of Thought ISBN: 0739175661 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780739175668 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 173190.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Ludwig Wittgenstein s On Certainty explores a myriad of new and important ideas regarding our notions of belief, knowledge, skepticism, and certainty. During the course of his exploration, Wittgenstein makes a fascinating new discovery about certitude, namely, that it is categorically distinct from knowledge. As his investigation advances, he recognizes that certainty must be non-propositional and non-ratiocinated; borne out not in the things we say, but in our actions, our deeds. Many philosophers working outside of epistemology recognized Wittgenstein's insights and determined that his work's abrupt end might serve as an excellent launching point for still further philosophical expeditions. In Exploring Certainty: Wittgenstein and Wide Fields of Thought, Robert Greenleaf Brice surveys some of this rich topography. Wittgenstein's writings serve as a point of departure for Brice's own ideas about certainty. He shows how Wittgenstein's rough and unpolished notion of certitude might be smoothed out and refined in a way to benefit studies of morality, aesthetics, cognitive science, philosophy of mathematics. Brice's work opens new avenues of thought for scholars and students of the Wittgensteinian tradition, while introducing original philosophies concerning issues central to human knowledge and cognition.
