"Sexuality is power," wrote the Marquis de Sade. His virtuousJustine kept to the rules laid down by men, her reward rape andhumiliation; his Juliette, Justine's triumphantly monstrousantithesis, viciously exploited her sexuality. This is a worldwhere all tenderness is false, and all beds are minefields. But nowSade has met his match. With invention and genius, celebratednovelist Angela Carter takes on these figments of his extremeimagination and transforms them into symbols of our time—theHollywood sex goddesses, mothers and daughters, pornography, eventhe sacred shrines of sex and marriage lie devastatingly exposedbefore our eyes.

Experience and Education is the best concise statement on education ever published by John Dewey, the man acknowledged to be the pre-eminent educational theorist of the twentieth century. Written more than two decades after Democracy and Education (Dewey's most comprehensive statement of his position in educational philosophy), this book demonstrates how Dewey reformulated his ideas as a result of his intervening experience with the progressive schools and in the light of the criticisms his theories had received. Analyzing both "traditional" and "progressive" education, Dr. Dewey here insists that neither the old nor the new education is adequate and that each is miseducative because neither of them applies the principles of a carefully developed philosophy of experience. Many pages of this volume illustrate Dr. Dewey's ideas for a philosophy of experience and its relation to education. He particularly urges that all teachers and educators looking for a new movement in education should think in terms of

Of all the books of the Bible few have had more resonance for modern readers than the Book of Job. For a world that has witnessed great horrors, Job's cries of despair and incomprehension are all too recognizable. The visionary psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung understood this and responded with this book, in which he set himself face-to-face with "the unvarnished spectacle of divine savagery and ruthlessness". Jung perceived in the hidden recesses of the human psyche the cause of a crisis that plagues modern humanity and leaves the individual, like Job, isolated and bewildered in the face of impenetrable fortune. By correlating the transcendental with the unconscious, Jung, writing not as a biblical scholar but "as a layman and physician who has been privileged to see deeply into the psychic life of many people", offers a way for every reader to come to terms with the divine darkness which confronts each individual.

The "alarming and impassioned"* book on how the Internet isredefining constitutional law, now reissued as the first popularbook revised online by its readers (*New York Times) There's a common belief that cyberspace cannot beregulated-that it is, in its very essence, immune from thegovernment's (or anyone else's) control. Code, first published in2000, argues that this belief is wrong. It is not in the nature ofcyberspace to be unregulable; cyberspace has no "nature." It onlyhas code-the software and hardware that make cyberspace what it is.That code can create a place of freedom-as the originalarchitecture of the Net did-or a place of oppressive control. Underthe influence of commerce, cyberpsace is becoming a highlyregulable space, where behavior is much more tightly controlledthan in real space. But that's not inevitable either. We can-wemust-choose what kind of cyberspace we want and what freedoms wewill guarantee. These choices are all about architecture: aboutwhat kind of code will govern c

The most riveting political biography of our time, Robert A.Caro’s life of Lyndon B. Johnson, continues. Master of theSenate takes Johnson’s story through one of its most remarkableperiods: his twelve years, from 1949 through 1960, in the UnitedStates Senate. Once the most august and revered body in politics,by the time Johnson arrived the Senate had become a parody ofitself and an obstacle that for decades had blocked desperatelyneeded liberal legislation. Caro shows how Johnson’s brilliance,charm, and ruthlessness enabled him to become the youngest and mostpowerful Majority Leader in history and how he used hisincomparable legislative genius--seducing both Northern liberalsand Southern conservatives--to pass the first Civil Rightslegislation since Reconstruction. Brilliantly weaving rich detailinto a gripping narrative, Caro gives us both a galvanizingportrait of Johnson himself and a definitive and revelatory studyof the workings of legislative power.
