Hillary Clinton: To Destroy a Nation by Will Clark (5 Reviews)    Price verified 22 minutes ago

Hillary Clinton hopes to replace Obama as President of the United States. And, as with Obama, her goals seem very oriented against fulfilling those hopes and dreams of our Founding Fathers. In fact, her plans and ambitions for America seem in total opposition to those rights and opportunities our Founding Fathers planned for us. They planned personal freedom, individual opportunity for success and achievement, and fulfillment of human aspirations. Her words propose an all-powerful central government that would determine and limit personal dreams and aspirations. The plans, rules and laws she propose are to 'take from the rich and redistribute to the poor.' To the poor, this plan obviously sounds great. Isn't it nice to be promised something without any attachments or requirement to earn it? Just relax and enjoy life and let the government do everything for you. Although the parts sound great to many uninspired people; the results are always destructive. The government takes over stronger and stronger until nothing can be done in a nation without the government's approval or involvement. This original Socialist experiment first began in Russia. It was the 'rise of the proletariat' the working class guided by Vladimir Lenin and his cohorts Carl Marx and others. Soon thereafter, the economy totally collapsed. Many citizens who were promised better lives through those actions died from starvation and pestilence. Many other millions were killed and imprisoned by those in charge; those same leaders who promised a better life for everyone. Although the Words tell us not to invite those who worship Satan 'into our house' as do Muslims, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton continue to praise Islam; and strive to bring more of them into our great nation to further contaminate our society with that blasphemy. The more they invite them into our home, the greater becomes our peril to suffer great and horrible consequences. When there are only a few, they have no choice other ...

The Discourse of Conflict: Nonverbal semiotics and discursive practice in Northern Ireland's Troubles 1977-82 by Warren Hately (1 Review)    Price verified 7 hours ago

The Discourse of Conflict focuses on the "prison war" between Republican inmates and their British captors, and the subsequent "dirty" protest and hunger strikes, to deal with two problems central to contemporary philosophy: the unacknowledged bias of structuralist theory towards linguistic signs and the lack of a coherent theorisation of social conflict. To address these conundrums, Hately reconciles Saussurean and Peircean semiotics and then uses Ruthrof's corporeal pragmatics to break from the verbocentric idea of language as a closed system, showing instead that verbal meanings originate from the body, its senses and its imagination, as informed by the deixis of individual communities. With the transformation of linguistic semiotics into corporeality, Foucault's notion of discourse and the neglected category of discursive practice are then reworked to show how statements based on nonverbal signs might function discursively. The culmination of the 1970s Northern Irish prison war in the events of the 1981 hunger strikes offers a study that unites the focus upon nonverbal discourses with the examination of conflict. In exploring the ways in which Republican hunger strikers struggled for legitimacy with the prison authorities, Hately shows how previous notions of conflict, especially Lyotard's différend, are thrown into disrepute by a corporeal perspective recognising the intersemiotic and heterosemiotic character of communication. The availability of diverse semiotic media such as the visual, the haptic, the proximic, etc., offers positions in which conflicts may be regulated without ending in the stalemate Lyotard describes. The division of semio-discursive phenomena into verbal and nonverbal elements, and the tracing of the effects these elements have upon ideational and pragmatic planes of action, also reveal a variety of strategies related to conflict that are superposable upon other instances. As a result, The Discourse of Conflict suggests that the ...

ON WHAT LANGUAGE IS: And how it is possible by Fred Jaeger (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

An original review of how verbal meaning is effected (through the iterative uses of sounds and marks) as that relates to conceptions of the world, to human behaviour and to the human self. That leads to the disappearance of language understood as a self-standing entity (as this or that language). Language is possible only as wholly and thoroughly integrated with the conduct of human life. A massively rich understanding of language then emerges, akin to the ancient concept of the Logos. On What Language Is sets out a wide range of basic ways in which the integration of language with the conduct of human life is realised, illuminating the nature of both. Further details are given in The perspective and Table of contents viewable in Look inside.

330, Against all Odds by Shem Pachtmann (1 Review)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Imagine living 6,000 years ago in Mesopotamia after escaping from Egypt to be part of an experiment called "a city" that has been replicated since millions of times. The backbone of Sumerian culture was relatively modern agricultural techniques that freed up people's time, allowing for education, classism, government, and surplus. The region of Mesopotamia thrived for nearly 2,000 years before being conquered by Cyrus the Great and made part of the Persian Empire. During this period, a small tribe of an unknown amount of Jews survived in the Levant for about 2,500 years before Mesopotamia was conquered by Alexander the Great in 330 B.C., and as a result of climatic change, disease, migration, and war, about 700 Jews still survived in the area under nomadic conditions before it was conquered by the Roman Empire in 115 A.D. The group was divided, and 330 Ashkenazi Jews made their way into Southern Europe and spread throughout the entire continent by 1,000 A.D. As they migrated, they rarely reared children with non-Jews for many reasons, i.e., discrimination, culture, and religion. Finally, they made their home in the Rhineland in Western Germany, and as they found safety there temporarily, their numbers and genetic diversity began to flourish. Today, these 330 original Ashkenazi Jews have more than 11 million descendants throughout the globe and nearly half of all Jews worldwide have Ashkenazi DNA, whether they practice Judaism or are a Jew by birth. This is the remarkable story of a small tribe of slaves that was separated, persecuted, shunned, and mistreated for nearly 6,000 years in their homeland, migratory lands, and their new lands. It's a tale of sorrow, murder, and triumph, and the perseverance of these individuals and their genetic success is a testament to being alive and surviving against all odds. It's a story that is not only inspiring but one that shows a high level of adaptation and prowess on behalf of the Ashkenazi people in combination with offering ...
