53.A Darwinian Left: Politics, Evolution, and Cooperation (Darwinism Today) by: Peter Singer 2000-04
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £21.37
It was thought not too many years ago that the architects (so to speak) of the modern world were Marx, Darwin, Einstein and Freud. Now that the postmodern era is upon us, a reevaluation has been made and Marxist ideas have been largely discredited. Einstein has suffered a correction (from quantum mechanics), Freud has been reclassified as literature, and it is only Darwin's reputation that has survived unsullied. Furthermore during this period the right has taken Darwin as its own, believing that the competitive biological nature of human beings as revealed by evolutionary biology is what leads to the inequalities that exist in human societies while justifying the war of one against all, etc. But what Peter Singer is ...

54.Better Than Sex: Confessions of a Political Junkie, Trapped Like a Rat in Mr.Bill's Neighbourhood by: Hunter S. Thompson November 01, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.95
It has taken him 40 years, but finally, here is the essence of Gonzo journalism. Although Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is held up (justafiably) as Thompson at the peak of his powers, even the good Doctor himself acknowledges the fact that as a piece of Gonzo journalism, it failed. Everything to do with the campaign, and Thompson's coverage is here; faxes, letters, buttons, everything. This is the realisation of a style that gives the reader Hunter's experience of the events, as they happened. It can be difficult to follow at times, with pages of fax reproductions, and notebook extracts, but this is exactly the reason why the book works. You sense the confusion, the sudden turn of events, and the fact that all those involved in the campaign ... Read More:

57.The Ticklish Subject: Absent Centre of Political Ontology (Wo es war) by: Slavoj Zizek April 18, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £14.25 You Save: £0.75 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.72
This is one of Zizek's better books, but also one of the most fragmentary. It's supposed to be a case for the Cartesian subject, but it turns out to be a series of snippets in which Zizek mobilises Lacanian analysis across a broad range of subjects. Of course, the Lacanian subject - constitutively incomplete because haunted by a constitutive lack - is not the Cartesian subject - present to itself through the gesture of knowing - and this makes the entire premise for the book rather implausible. Perhaps Zizek has found yet another way to annoy his intellectual rivals; among the trendy, Cartesianism is very passe, and Zizek is always one for trying to make the unfashionable into the latest style. Anyway, there's plenty here to get you thinking, ... Read More:

59.Soft Power: The Means to Success in World Politics by: Joseph S. Nye 2005-06
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.50 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.99 You Save: £0.51 ( 6%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.50
This book is a very important analysis of soft power. Soft power is a loose term whereby a country improves its reputation and ability to persuade others by its actions and principles, rather than its overt and covert threats to bully others. The author argues that power exists on three dimensions - military, economic and cultural. The author argues that America is the unrivalled master of "hard" power as the world's only military super power. But on the soft power dimensions of trade/economy and popular culture, America is nowhere near as all triumphant. The author feels that America must pay attention to developing its soft power if it is to remain dominant, and not have to rely on its hard power. Given the difficulties in Iraq, America more than ... Read More:
