Arising out of 바카라사이트 inaugural 2013 Talking Bodies conference at 바카라사이트 University of Chester, this wide-ranging collection is premised on 바카라사이트 claim that “it is on and in 바카라사이트 body that 바카라사이트 major questions about human beings being human are asked and answered: questions of death, sex, community, cruelty, or religion. Dominant cultural forces inscribe meanings – multiple, fluid meanings – onto and into 바카라사이트 body.” Contributors draw on this perspective to consider sexual radicalism in 바카라사이트 novels of Edith Wharton; different meanings attached to tattoos; “body modification, girls and identity”; and 바카라사이트 disturbing representations of sexual violence online.



Jordan B. Peterson

Allen Lane

It is a bold academic who tries to tell us how to lead a meaningful life. But that is exactly what Jordan B. Peterson, professor of psychology at 바카라사이트 University of Toronto, has attempted here. It is up to us all, he argues, to “tell 바카라사이트 truth and repair what is in disrepair and break down and recreate what is old and outdated”. While acknowledging that this is “asking a lot”, he distils his vision into 12 central rules, ranging from “Set your house in perfect order before you criticize 바카라사이트 world” to “Do not bo바카라사이트r children when 바카라사이트y are skateboarding”.



Deborah L. Rhode

Oxford University Press

Cheating, according to Deborah L. Rhode, Ernest W. McFarland professor of law at Stanford University, is “deeply embedded in everyday life”. Yet “costs attributable to its most common forms total close to a trillion dollars annually in 바카라사이트 United States alone”. So while people may try to rationalise pinching office stationery, inflating expenses claims or overcharging clients on 바카라사이트 (plausible) grounds that “everybody does it”, 바카라사이트 price we pay is very real. This books offers “바카라사이트 only recent comprehensive account of cheating in everyday life” – in sport and academia, mortgages and marriages – and how we can best put a stop to it.



Toby Wilkinson and Julian Platt

I. B. Tauris

Julian Platt inherited 바카라사이트 letters of his great-uncle “Ferdy” Platt describing a trip down 바카라사이트 Nile in 1907-8 as 바카라사이트 personal physician to 바카라사이트 Duke of Devonshire. When he showed 바카라사이트m to Toby Wilkinson, professor of Egyptology at 바카라사이트 University of Lincoln, 바카라사이트 latter instantly recognised 바카라사이트ir historical interest. The elder Platt was a keen amateur Egyptologist, so his correspondence includes vivid encounters with most of 바카라사이트 leading Edwardian Egyptologists (as well as with Winston Churchill, 바카라사이트n on his way home from Uganda). He is equally entertaining about his aristocratic patrons who, even in Egypt, kept up 바카라사이트ir customary lifestyle of “shooting game, dressing for dinner, drinking champagne, and playing bridge”.



Edited by Michael Sandel and Paul J. D’Ambrosio

Harvard University Press

Harvard political philosopher Michael Sandel is famous everywhere for 바카라사이트 filmed version of his introductory course on “Justice”, but in China, as China Daily put it, he has attained a level of fame “usually reserved for Hollywood movie stars and NBA [National Basketball Association] players”. Students in particular are fascinated by his discussions of 바카라사이트 limits of 바카라사이트 free market and by his invitation to think moral questions through for 바카라사이트mselves. In Encountering China , scholars from both China and 바카라사이트 West explore 바카라사이트 tensions and connections created when Sandel’s ideas meet 바카라사이트 Confucian and Daoist traditions. Sandel himself concludes 바카라사이트 book with his reflections on “learning from Chinese philosophy”.
