In contrast to those who see the 1950s as essentially aconservative period, and who view the 1960s as a time of rapidmoral change, The Permissive Society points to the emergence of aliberalizing impulse during the Truman and Eisenhower years. Thebook shows how, during the 1950s, a traditionalist moral frameworkwas beginning to give way to a less authoritarian approach to moralissues as demonstrated by a more relaxed style of child-rearing,the rising status of women both inside and outside the home, theincreasing reluctance of Americans to regard alcoholism as a sin,loosening sexual attitudes, the increasing influence of modernpsychology, and, correspondingly, the declining influence ofreligion in the personal lives of most Americans.

Current tactics can't solve today's complex global crises. The"bad boys of environmentalism" call for a bold and empowering newvision Environmental insiders Michael Shellenberger and TedNordhaus triggered a firestorm of controversy with theirself-published essay "The Death of Environmentalism," which arguedthat environmentalism cannot deal with global warming and shoulddie so that a new politics can be born. Global warming is far morecomplex than past pollution problems, and American values havechanged dramatically since the movement's greatest victories in the1960s, but environmentalists keep fighting the same old battles.Seeing a connection between the failures of environmentalism andthe failures of the entire left-leaning political agenda, theauthors point the way toward an aspirational politics that willresonate with modern American values and be capable of tackling ourmost pressing challenges. In this eagerly awaited follow-up to theoriginal essay, the authors give us an expansive and eloquentmanifesto

People speak different languages, and always have. The AncientGreeks took no notice of anything unless it was said in Greek; theRomans made everyone speak Latin; and in India, people learnedtheir neighbours' languages - as did many ordinary Europeans intimes past. But today, we all use translation to cope with thediversity of languages. Without translation there would be no worldnews, not much of a reading list in any subject at college, norepair manuals for cars or planes, and we wouldn't even be able toput together flat pack furniture. "Is That a Fish in Your Ear?"ranges across the whole of human experience, from foreign films tophilosophy, to show why translation is at the heart of what we doand who we are. What's the difference between translatingunprepared natural speech, and translating Madame Bovary? How doyou translate a joke? What's the difference between a native tongueand a learned one? Can you translate between any pair of languages,or only between some? What really goes on when world leade

This book describes how social identification and academiclearning can deeply depend on each other, through a theoreticalaccount of the two processes and a detailed empirical analysis ofhow students' identities emerged and how students learnedcurriculum in one classroom. The book traces the identitydevelopment of two students across an academic year, showing howthey developed unexpected identities in substantial part becausecurricular themes provided categories that teachers and studentsused to identify them and showing how students learned aboutcurricular themes in part because the two students were sociallyidentified in ways that illuminated those themes. The book'sdistinctive contribution is to demonstrate in detail how socialidentification and academic learning can become deeplyinterdependent.

Though others have published reminiscences of Joseph Conrad,these accounts have frequently contained inaccuracies, sometimeseven simple fabrications. It is partly in an attempt to set therecord straight that John Conrad, the novelist's only survivingson, has committed these memoirs to print. Mr Conrad has not triedto import into the book the biographical interpretations orspeculations of others, but rather to recall and set down ashonestly and directly as possible what he remembers from around1909 to the point of his father's death in 1924. Through his vividand detailed account of the day-to-day existence in the varioushouses the family inhabited during this period, Mr Conrad is ableboth to throw light on many aspects of his father's life and toinvoke the sense of an era of English social life which has nowdisappeared. His memoirs are informal, often anecdotal, recordingwhat amused, irritated or moved his father.
