Postman suggests that the current crisis in our educationalsystem derives from its failure to supply students with atranslucent, unifying "narrative" like those that inspired earliergenerations. Instead, today's schools promote the false "gods" ofeconomic utility, consumerism, or ethnic separatism and resentment.What alternative strategies can we use to instill our children witha sense of global citizenship, healthy intellectual skepticism,respect of America's traditions, and appreciation of its diversity?In answering this question, The End of Education restoresmeaning and common sense to the arena in which they are mosturgently needed. "Informal and clear...Postman's ideas about education areappealingly fresh."--New York Times Book Review

"The present book is intended," Einstein wrote in 1916, "as far as possible, to give an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics.... In the interest of clearness, it appeared to me inevitable that I should repeat myself frequently, without paying the slightest attention to the elegance of the presentation. I adhered scrupulously to the precept of that brilliant theoretical physicist L. Boltzmann, according to whom matters of elegance ought to be left to the tailor and to the cobbler." But it is elegant, in part because of the 1920 translation, by Robert W. Lawson, a British physicist who had polished his German while a prisoner of war in Austria. The introduction, by science writer Nigel Calder, guides the reader through the work section by section, even giving advice on which sections to skip, or at least not to wor

In this classic text, David Bohm explores Albert Einstein's celebrated theory of relativity through inspiring and visionary lectures. First published in 1905, Einstein's ideas forever transformed the way we think about time and space. Yet for Bohm the implications of the theory were far more revolutionary both in scope and impact even than this. Stepping back from dense theoretical and scientific detail in this eye-opening work, Bohm describes how the notion of relativity strikes at the heart of our very conception of the universe, whether we are physicists, philosophers or none of the above.

If in this book harshwords are spoken about some of the greatest among the intellectualleaders of mankind, my motive is not, I hope, to belittle them. Itsprings rather from my conviction that, if our civilization is tosurvive, we must break with the habit of deference to great men.' -Karl Popper, from the Preface Written in political exile during theSecond World War and first published in two volumes in 1945, KarlPopper's The Open Society and Its Enemies is one of the mostinfluential books of all time. Hailed by Bertrand Russell as a'vigorous and profound defence of democracy', its now legendaryattack on the philosophies of Plato, Hegel and Marx exposed thedangers inherent in centrally planned political systems and throughunderground editions become an inspiration to lovers of freedomliving under communism in Eastern Europe. Popper's highlyaccessible style, his erudite and lucid explanations of thethoughts of great philosophers and the recent resurgence oftotalitarian regimes around the world are jus

In his book, Smith fervently extolled the simple yet enlightened notion that individuals are fully capable of setting and regulating prices for their own goods and services. He argued passionately in favor of free trade, yet stood up for the little guy. The Wealth of Nations provided the first--and still the most eloquent--integrated de*ion of the workings of a market economy. The result of Smith’s efforts is a witty, highly readable work of genius filled with prescient theories that form the basis of a thriving capitalist system. This unabridged edition offers the modern reader a fresh look at a timeless and seminal work that revolutionized the way governments and individuals view the creation and dispersion of wealth--and that continues to influence our economy right up to the present day.

"The Spirit in Man, Art and Literature" offers penetrating insights into the lives and opinions of some of the most significant players in the cultural life of the 20th century. Carl Gustav Jung was at the heart of that cultural life, pioneering, along with Freud, a new interpretation of what it meant to be human in the modern age. This volume reveals the full range of Jung's involvement in this process, from his famous analysis of "Psychology and Literature" to his landmark texts on Joyce's "Ulysses" and Picasso's paintings. Jung writes of Freud from the perspective of one who was "permitted a deep glimpse into the mind of this remarkable man," and through the memories and opinions recorded in "The Spirit in Man, Art and Literature", the reader is offered a similar privilege.

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.
