In this book, Sean Gabb shows that the "War" is part of a much larger project of lifestyle regulation by the ruling class, and that its final victory will be to reduce us to a mob of terrified and atomised serfs, toiling for the enrichment of others. He examines this "War" in its political and historical and its theological aspects, showing its alleged justifications as nothing more than a discourse imposed by the ideological state apparatus. Extract: The function of the war against tobacco is to provide a set of plausible excuses for the extraction of resources from the people and for the exercise of power over them. There is nothing new or unique about this war. It has been waged on and off for centuries. It is similar to the established wars against alcohol and drugs, and to the gathering war against supposedly unhealthy foods. Though, with the decline of public rationality, we now have our own witches and heretics to be combated -- or, to be explicit, our racists and our paedophiles -- the regulation of lifestyle is still the most plausible set of excuses for enlarging the income and status of our ruling class. This is a class issue, and no discussion of tobacco policy can be complete without an understanding of the dynamics of class.

The Science of Liberty: Selected Essays on Politics, Culture and Economics (Chris R. Tame Books Book 1) by Chris Tame (2 Reviews)    Price verified 31 minutes ago

Chris Tame (1949-2006) was the Founder and Director of the Libertarian Alliance, and was the most prominent British libertarian of his age. The works assembled in this book attempt to demonstrate that classical liberalism (or 'libertarianism', to employ the more recent neologism for this intellectual tradition) was a richer, deeper and more systematic school of thought than is normally portrayed. They also try to analyse why that tradition went into decline, and why it has, in recent years, enjoyed a revival. A number of the essays are also attempts to apply that more systematic perspective to a number of topics in different disciplines. Contents • BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY ON CHRIS R. TAME BY SEAN GABB • INTRODUCTION BY CHRIS R. TAME • CREATING A SCIENCE OF LIBERTY: THE LIFE & HERITAGE OF MURRAY N. ROTHBARD, 1926-1995 • THE REVOLUTION OF REASON: PETER GAY, THE ENLIGHTENMENT AND THE AMBIGUITIES OF CLASSICAL LIBERALISM • THE CRITICAL LIBERALISM OF J. M. ROBERTSON • THE NEW ENLIGHTENMENT: THE REVIVAL OF LIBERTARIAN IDEAS • AGAINST THE NEW MERCANTILISM: THE RELEVANCE OF ADAM SMITH • CHANGE AND PSEUDO-CHANGE IN SOCIOLOGY • AN ECONOMIC MISINTERPRETATION OF HISTORY: A CRITIQUE OF J.

Gender Portraits: A Book of Revelations by Steffy Sota (Numeracy Press) Price verified 33 minutes ago

"All the world's a stage." Each of us presents a public self that follows social norms. Those who present a public self that does not follow social norms are subject to stigmatizing, bullying, exclusion, humiliation, labeling, discrediting, disparaging, pillorying, vilifying, shunning, defaming, imprisoning, and the rest. Thus gender is a way of presenting ourselves in normative and abnormal portraits. Gender Portraits explores both normative and abnormal gender portraits to reveal differing perspectives on gender.

With the whole summer ahead of him, Bradley stumbles unwittingly into his first summer job. While it appears to be an opportunity to learn responsibility and make a few bucks in the process, it is anything but! With a manager that likes to play pranks and sports in the store, a cashier that is encouraged to harass customers, and a crazy guy who knocks holes in the walls, Brad finds himself almost alone in his sanity. Then Brad discovers a journal that documents a fellow employee's search for a large bag of money that was lost many years ago. With the assistance of two of his friends, he embarks on a journey to follow the trail of the money and ultimately to nab it for themselves. The only problem - someone else is searching for the same bag of money and he's willing to kill for it.

This book explores the reasons behind our many fallibilities and peculiarities. It's a fascinating insight into the curious ways our minds work in everyday situations.

From Beyond Our World, The Profound Message by M.G. Hawking (13 Reviews)    Price verified 59 minutes ago

While deep in the Great Range of the Himalaya, the author and his companions experienced three encounters with individuals they believe to have been the true Ri-iha-mo, the fabled "mountain celestials" of ancient Himalayan legends. Experience these extraordinary encounters for yourself and explore the profound message conveyed by the Ri-iha-mo. Throughout the Himalayan regions of Asia, there have endured remarkable accounts of "celestial beings" who, having arrived from "another world" in an antediluvian era of prehistory, still dwell in a concealed inner region of the immense frozen fortress of the Himalayas. Are these ubiquitous legends merely myths? Or are they representative of some vaguely remembered reality passed down through generations beyond count? Absent an ember, there can be no smoke; there is a kernel of truth in all such ancient legends and they cannot be easily, or wisely, dismissed, especially in light of today's astronomical knowledge. Current estimates of the number of planets in the known universe is 80 sextillion (an 8 with 22 zeros behind it) (JPL/Caltech, 2018). In the largest sense, this book deals with fundamental concepts about our world as expressed to us by the Ri-iha-mo. The average person's perceptual concepts of day-to-day "reality" do not have, nor have ever had, a fixed ontology. Multiple versions of "reality" are presented and enacted theoretically by the natural sciences, the social sciences, political science, as well as by various theologies. And those multiple ontologies clash in many profound aspects. By shaping our understanding of the world, concepts influence not only the reality we live in, but the reality we aspire to live in. And yet, those concepts have neither given nor fixed identities, but only contested and largely precarious histories. The concepts we have so far accepted about "reality" have led us to the present global situation as well as our personal life situation, and the concepts we accept about reality ...

"Have I become a ghost? All I hear is divorcee, adulteress whispered behind my back while you get high fives. Dee please tell me, you never told anyone... about Sam." The book blurb is from M and Dee, my groovy early seventies pop culture memoir. The reviews describe M and Dee as an authentic 70s sounding groovy read, which it should because it really happened. So, with that said, instead of me describing the book, below is what the readers have said about M and Dee. "Ah, the 70s. This book captures well the free spirited, hitch-hiking, back-packing, train riding, grass smoking, free loving, relationship developing era of the early to mid-70's. The story contains humor, insights, quirks, and romance, but in the end it is a tragedy of the most unusual kind. Don't try to figure out the ending. You can't." "Groovy Baby, the characters developed nicely and it really had a good vibe to it and the language was very authentic." "A modern day retelling of the classic star-crossed lovers tale." "I loved this story and really got into the groovy 70s scene which was so which was so poignantly depicted." Great wanderlust read.

Many of the events are quite humorous while others can be downright frightening. There's also a couple of bad guy to deal with.

The Open Window by Stjepan Krešimir Kračun (1 Review)    Price verified one hour ago

FROM THE PREFACE This is a story about a man. He is just an ordinary man, no different from you and me. But he finds himself in a predicament. And as our story begins, he happens to find himself in a prison cell. However, due to the nature of his story, he might as well be in his living room, or somewhere out on the street. Still, he finds himself held captive but he is no less free than you and me are right now. And all that he ever wished for was to be free and happy. Isn't that what we all wish for? If freedom and happiness are what he wished for - how did this man manage to end up in a prison cell? He seems to have succeeded in doing the exact opposite of what he wanted. He can't be very clever then. But let's not be too hasty. The lofty peaks he wanted to climb were easy to see from the foot of the mountain, but the road was winding. The simplest things in life are the most important ones and they come quickly to mind, yet even when the story of our life is reaching its final chapters we can still see how far we've gone astray and how we'll never reach them in our lifetime. Yet we've professed during our entire lifetime that those were the only things we really wanted. The only things that we really needed. How is it that we've gone so far astray? Oh, we will have an abundance of excuses. But in our final moments, we will remember. We will remember our regrets. We will remember our dreams that we've forgotten to pursue, but it will be too late then. So we hope that in death - we will find them there. And maybe we will. And maybe we won't. But this man whose story we are about to tell - he did get what he wished for. Not in the way he thought he would, though - but he did get what he wished for. But that is life - it happens regardless of when and how we want it to happen. We all have our own stories and the lives we would like to live. And then we have the lives that we actually live.

Avoid the headaches of managing your business finances by following this effortless approach It's an exciting time to be part of the trucking industry--hauling over 80% of the country's total cargo, and projected to continue its strong performance in the years to come. As a new business owner, it's natural to prioritize sales, loads, and getting your business noticed. But neglecting to set up the financial side of your business is effectively setting yourself up for failure.

And a business that doesn't keep tabs on how much money they're making (or losing) won't be able to survive that long. In fact, 85% of new trucking companies fail to reach their second year, partly due to problems with managing costs. If you don't want your business to end up the same way, it's essential that you're able to get your finances in order. However, with all the information, paperwork, and rules involved in running a transport business, it's easy to lose track of what you need to monitor.

CNC Programming Skills: Understanding Offsets on Fanuc Machines by S. K. Sinha (11 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

This is the fourth e-book in the series, "CNC Programming Skills." It explains the concept of offsets and how to measure these manually on i-series Fanuc machines or a similar control. The very first thing which a person, who is new to the CNC world, needs to know is how to setup the coordinate system for machining. The machining coordinate system is defined by adding relevant offsets to the pre-defined machine coordinate system. When it comes to offsets, oh! these are just too many to confuse most people: External offset, Work offset, Geometry offset, Wear offset, Length offset, to name a few. And, these are to be understood in totality, as these are interrelated. Certain things are illogical also such as the wear value of the tool tip number on a lathe. Unfortunately, we cannot question Fanuc. We have to understand their language if we want to survive in the CNC world. This book is written keeping in view the requirements and expectations of beginners who wish to learn on their own with no helping hand available to them. No background is assumed. One who has at least seen the operator's panel and the manual data input panel, and knows elementary things like the directions of axes on a CNC machine, would be able to follow the book. Starting from the very basic, it has everything a seasoned CNC operator is supposed to know. The following excerpts from the book would give some idea of the way of presentation: Entering Offset Values into Offset Tables: The procedure on a lathe as well as on a milling machine is similar. The basic procedure involves bringing the tool to the origin (or to a known coordinate position) of the desired coordinate system, and then use the measure feature of the control (through the MEASUR soft key) to enter the offset values automatically. Let us first take the example of determining work offsets on a lathe: ? Measure the diameter of the workpiece for which the work offset is to be determined, and place it in the chuck at the ...

Angels, Giants, and Things under the Earth: Dark Studies by Joseph Dulmage (30 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

The prophet Daniel called it the Fourth Kingdom, the last great gentile empire whose military power and political environment make it possible for an evil genius to rule the world. The presence of the Fourth Kingdom is a sign of the end times -- one cannot exist without the other. In Giants, Angels, and Things under the Earth, Chaplain Joseph Dulmage applies biblical Scripture to the possibility the Fourth Kingdom is at hand. The answers are both illuminating and unnerving. As Christ compared the days before his return to the world prior to Noah's flood, Dulmage makes a serious examination of the antediluvian world, discovering uncomfortable parallels to modern times. Jesus did not mean merely that mankind would be as wicked as those who perished in the flood -- he meant the last days would mirror Noah's time in all aspects. Today's attitudes towards science and technology, Dulmage reveals, mirror Noah's generation. As for the Fourth Kingdom, Daniel's prophecy has direct ties to present-day America, which is evolving into a nation unrecognizable from its once proud roots. An unstoppable metamorphosis is underway, all foreseen in the biblical narrative. How we prepare for the coming years is up to us.
