Buku Ratu - The Voices Within

Image
Buku The Voices Within The history and science of how we talk to ourselves oleh Charles Fernyhough. Harga amazon USD18. Boleh pinjam kat librari panggilan Ratu 153.42 Petikan ( link ): When someone says they hear voices in their head, they are often thought to be mentally ill. But, as Charles Fernyhough argues in  The Voices Within , such voices are better understood as one of the chief hallmarks of human thought. Our inner voices can be self-assured, funny, profound, hesitant, or mean; they can appear in different accents and even in sign language. We all hear them-and we needn't fear them. Indeed, we cannot live without them: we need them, whether to make decisions or to bring a book's characters to life as we read.  Terbitan **16 - - - - -

Buku From Dawn to Decadence

Image
Buku From Dawn to Decadence: 1500 to the Present, 500 Years of Western Cultural Life oleh Jacques Barzun (b.1907). Petikan first things dot com ( link ): From Dawn to Decadence  has only a minimal amount of political and military narrative, which is something of a drawback since the author routinely makes unexplained allusions to people and events that may no longer be common knowledge.

Buku The Library: A Fragile History

Image
Buku The Library: A Fragile History oleh Andrew Pettegree & Arthur der Weduwen. Boleh dapat di Bookexcess RM30. Petikan: Famed across the known world, jealously guarded by private collectors, built up over centuries, destroyed in a single day, ornamented with gold leaf and frescoes or filled with bean bags and children's drawings - the history of the library is rich, varied and stuffed full of incident. In this, the first major history of its kind, Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen explore the contested and dramatic history of the library, from the famous collections of the ancient world to the embattled public resources we cherish today. Along the way, they introduce us to the antiquarians and philanthropists who shaped the world's great collections, trace the rise and fall of fashions and tastes, and reveal the high crimes and misdemeanours committed in pursuit of rare and valuable manuscripts. - - - - -

Buku Signposts to God

Image
Buku Signposts to God: How modern physics & astronomy point the way to belief tulisan Peter Bussey. Petikan: Particle physicist Peter Bussey's Signposts to God is an edifying introduction to the interaction between science and faith. One part informative discussion of modern physics, astronomy, and cosmology, one part critique of the myth of physicalism, and one part apologetic for the hallmarks of transcendence in the origin and structure of the universe and the deep mysteries of conscious existence, Bussey's heartfelt reflections set our feet on a path well marked with signposts to God as the source and end of all things. -- Bruce L. Gordon, associate professor of the history and philosophy of science, Houston Baptist University. Terbitan **16 [Harga USD16] - - - - -

Buku Nazi Billionaires

Image
  Buku Nazi Billionaires: The dark history of Germany's wealthiest dynasties oleh Daid de Jong. RRP GBP25 kini boleh dapat GBP13. A groundbreaking investigation of how the Nazis helped German tycoons make billions from the horrors of the Third Reich and World War II – and how the world allowed them to get away with it. Petikan: In 1946, Günther Quandt – patriarch of Germany’s most iconic industrial empire, a dynasty that today controls BMW – was arrested for suspected Nazi collaboration. Quandt claimed that he had been forced to join the party by his arch-rival, propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, and the courts acquitted him. But Quandt lied. And his heirs, and those of other Nazi billionaires, have only grown wealthier in the generations since, while their reckoning with this dark past remains incomplete at best. Many of them continue to control swaths of the world economy, owning iconic brands whose products blanket the globe. The brutal legacy of the dynasties that dominated D...
