Paperback. Condizione: New. Explores the possibilities and ethical dilemmas of radical life extension through biotechnology, examining the impact of potentially treating aging and living indefinitely on humanity, society, and individual identityWhat if you could live not just longer, but healthier-and possibly forever? In his gr…oundbreaking exploration of biotechnology, ethics, and the philosophy of very long lives, Thomas Ramge takes readers on a thought-provoking journey through the possibilities and consequences of radical life extension. Drawing on cutting-edge research in molecular biology, genetics, and AI-driven medicine, the book examines how humanity is on the brink of a revolution-one where aging may soon become a treatable condition. Through engaging thought experiments, such as choosing between three pills that extend life to 100, 200, or eternity, the book challenges our assumptions about mortality, identity, and purpose. Would centuries of life bring wisdom or existential despair? Could societies sustain themselves in a world where death is optional? And who would have access to these medical breakthroughs-everyone, or only the wealthy elite? Combining scientific rigor with philosophical depth, this book is a must-read for those fascinated by the intersection of technology, ethics, and the human condition. If the future of life itself is at stake, what will we choose.

Paperback. Condizione: New. A powerful love story set in the class-conscious Tsarist Russia of the early 19th century. It embraces every level of that society - serf, provincial, aristocrat - in verse which is by turns beautiful, witty, wickedly perceptive and always readable. This is essential reading for anyone with a love of…Russian literature, because this is where it all began. There is little pre-history to that golden age of 19th century novels. Lomonosov, a fisherman's son turned scholar, took church Slavonic, peasant Russian, mixed in a few 'Loan translations' and gave a French-speaking aristocracy a literary language; Pushkin was the first truly great poet to use it; Yevgeny Onegin is his greatest work.

Paperback. Condizione: New. This brilliant, vivid and impressionistic series of sketches, formed during her 1892 stay in Persia, is Gertrude Bell's first published work. Infused with a distinctive orientalism, 'Persian Pictures' is an evocative, virtuosic meditation, moving sinuously between Persia's heroic, complex, mythical pa…st and its present decline; the public face of Tehran and the otherworldly 'secret, mysterious life of the East', the lives of its women, its enclosed, quasi-medieval gardens; from the bustling cities to the lonely wastelands of Khorasan. Bell's documentation of Muharram - the month of mourning for Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Mohammed - and Ramadan, display a mind finely attuned to the differences and similarities between Islam and Christianity, East and West. 'Persian Pictures' is both travelogue and meditation, an elegiac and beautifully observed account of a spellbinding land.

Paperback. Condizione: New. A beguiling account of twentieth-century America through the eyes of an outsider, a remarkable inversion of the standard 'Westerner observing the exotic' travel writing formula. Wu Tingfang wrote this book at an intriguing juncture in history - aeroplanes and motion pictures had recently been invented…, and while he did not know it, a tremendous cultural shift was about to take place in the West due to the First World War. His observations are enlightening and remain as relevant today as the era in which they were written.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 'What I Saw in America' is an eloquent record of the polymath G. K. Chesterton's experiences on a lecture tour of the US in 1921. Many of Chesterton's reflections are timeless and startlingly prescient, and though unsparingly critical at times he was enthralled by the glorious ideals of the nation - f…ounded on principles of equality, democracy and freedom. Among the finest of Chesterton's works, the book overflows with wry humour, sympathy and intelligence playing devilishly against an irrepressible mischievousness.

Paperback. Condizione: New. There have been a great many books written on military intelligence and the secret services rooted in the twentieth century; however there is very little covering the activities of the men involved in the establishment of this fascinating institution. Its origins lie in the British Army: from the begi…nnings in the Topographical Department to the Boer War, when various factors made the foundation work of the eventual MI5 (founded in 1909) possible. Incredibly, there were two vast armies in the 1840s, both serving the state and Queen, yet no formally organized military intelligence bureau. Such ignorance of the enemy brought about many botched and bloody encounters, such as the notorious 'Charge of the Light Brigade'. The thrilling story of the various intelligence sources for the armed forces throughout the Victorian period is one of individuals, adventurers and small, ad hoc bodies set up by commanders when the need arose. Stephen Wade's enthralling book reveals the unsteady foundations of one of the country's most prominent and renowned organizations, tracing the various elements that gradually composed the intelligence and political branches of Britain's Secret Service.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar's 'Five Cities' was first published in Turkish as 'Bes Sehir' in 1946 and revised in 1960. It consists of five essays, each focused on a city significant in Anatolian history and in Tanpinar's emotional life. Part history, part autobiography, part poetic meditation on time and mem…ory, 'Five Cities' is Proustian in style, with a tension between a backward-looking melancholy and a concern for the unpredictable future of the author's country. Comparable to Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk's 'Istanbul: Memories of a City', 'Five Cities' emphasizes personal attitudes and reactions but has a wider scope of geography, history and culture.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Make America Sane Again: Reflections on Trump's Travesties catalogues Donald Trump's many travesties, dating back to his first inauguration but concentrating on his second term.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Dedicated to his father, Mevlüt, who made and sold his own brand of flavored soda or "Peri Gazozu" in a village in Anatolia, Fairy Chimney Soda is a collection of short stories by Turkish author, screenplay writer and actor, Ercan Kesal. He is clear-eyed as he mines his memories of childhood and his e…arly years as a doctor fulfilling his mandatory civil service in the remote villages of Anatolia. He explores the wonder and terror of childhood, the hardship of living through the turbulent years in the lead-up to the 1980 military coup and the anguish, insight and resolution that comes with death and dying. [NP] These are cautionary tales unveiling hard truths, unsettling in their quick, dramatic shifts in mood, at times bleak and buckling under a philosophical pressure, at other times warm and uplifting, always rich with human wisdom. Matching with his presence on the silver screen, Kesal is a brave and bighearted writer: radical, self-questioning and perceptive.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The sound of a trumpet across a Japanese mountain valley leads a young man to befriend a mysterious stranger. During repeated visits to the cave where the stranger has set up home, the young man learns about his past - in the mines, villages and ports of the region. The stranger's hilarious, bawdy and… touching narratives captivate the young man, but he begins to doubt their veracity. Finally, as the young man decides his own fate, the full truth about the stranger is revealed. 'Tales from a Mountain Cave' is a translation of Hisashi Inoue's highly popular 'Shinshaku Tono Monogatari' (??????), set in the Kamaishi area of Iwate Prefecture, Northeast Japan. Kamaishi was devastated by the tsunami of March 2011, and royalties on sales of this book will be donated to post-tsunami community support projects.
