Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The phantom dog of Dartmoor, which, according to an ancient legend, has haunted the Baskervilles for generations. When Sir Charles Baskerville dies suddenly of a heart attack on the grounds of the family's estate, the locals are convinced that the spectral hound is responsible, and Holmes is called in. Conan Doyle triumphed and triumphed deservedly, G. K. Chesterton wrote, because he took his art seriously, because he lavished a hundred little touches of real knowledge and genuine picturesqueness on the police novelette.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A fascinating collection of Einstein's observations about life, religion, nationalism, and a host of personal topics that engaged the genius's intellect In the aftermath of the First World War, Einstein writes about his hopes for the League of Nations, his feelings as a German citizen about the growing anti-Semitism and nationalism of his country, and his myriad opinions about the current affairs of his day. In addition to these political perspectives, The World As I See It reveals the idealistic, spiritual, and witty side of this great intellectual as he approaches topics including Good and Evil, Religion and Science, Active Pacifism, Christianity and Judaism, and Minorities. Including letters, speeches, articles, and essays written before 1935, this collection offers a complete portrait of Einstein as a humanitarian and as a human being trying to make sense of the changing world around him. This authorized Philosophical Library book features a new introduction by Neil Berger, PhD, and an illustrated biography of Albert Einstein, which includes rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Without the sense of fellowship with men of like mind, of preoccupation with the objective, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific research, life would have seemed to me empty. -Albert Einstein, Forum and Century Preceding generations have presented us, in a highly developed science and mechanical knowledge, with a most valuable gift which carries with it possibilities of making our life free and beautiful such as no previous generation has enjoyed. But this gift also brings with it dangers to our existence as great as any that have ever threatened it. -Albert Einstein, Address to the Students' Disarmament Meeting Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was born in Germany and became an American citizen in 1934.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. The Science of Being Well is the second volume of a series known as The Science of trilogy or Financial Success Through Creative Thought by Wallace Delois Wattles. While the first volume, The Science of Getting Rich, is intended for those who are looking to acquire wealth and money, this one is not a philosophical treatise, but a practical guide and handbook for those whose main goal is health. Wallace Delois Wattles (1860-1911) was an American author. As a New Thought writer, he remains personally somewhat obscure, but his writing has been widely quoted and remains in print in the New Thought and self-help movements. Wattles often travelled to Chicago, where he gave Sunday night lectures among several leading New Thought authors. He studied the writings of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Ralph Waldo Emerson and recommended the study of their books to his readers who wished to understand what he characterized as the monistic theory of the cosmos. Wattles' best known work is a 1910 book called The Science of Getting Rich in which he explained how to become wealthy.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Reprint of the 1930 American edition. In this seminal book, Sigmund Freud enumerates the fundamental tensions between civilization and the individual. The primary friction stems from the individual's quest for instinctual freedom and civilization's contrary demand for conformity and instinctual repression. Many of humankind's primitive instincts (for example, the desire to kill and the insatiable craving for sexual gratification) are clearly harmful to the well-being of a human community. As a result, civilization creates laws that prohibit killing, rape, and adultery, and it implements severe punishments if such commandments are broken. This process, argues Freud, is an inherent quality of civilization that instills perpetual feelings of discontent in its citizens.…

Hungarian by birth, Nicolas Darvas trained as an economist at the University of Budapest. Reluctant to remain in Hungary until either the Nazis or the Soviets took over, he fled at the age of 23 with a forged exit visa and fifty pounds sterling to stave off hunger in Istanbul, Turkey. During his off hours as a dancer, he read some 200 books on the market and the great speculators, spending as much as eight hours a day studying.Darvas invested his money into a couple of stocks that had been hitting their 52-week high. He was utterly surprised that the stocks continued to rise and subsequently sold them to make a large profit. His main source of stock selection was Barron's Magazine. At the age of 39, after accumulating his fortune, Darvas documented his techniques in the book, How I Made 2,000,000 in the Stock Market. The book describes his unique Box System, which he used to buy and sell stocks. Darvas' book remains a classic stock market text to this day.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. It is easy to miss the undercurrents of the early 20th century which compelled Jack London to write one of his most famous books. London's devout adherence to philosophical naturalism, expressed unabashedly in his time as 'survival of the fittest, ' is front and center in this book, White Fang, and his other well-known work, The Call of the Wild (ISBN: 9781645940098). The conviction that man is mere animal, borne up by Darwinian principles, collides in White Fang with the violence of other mere animals. The directness of this formula will be lost on contemporary generations, who have something Jack London did not: the testimony of history recounting the violence that evolutionary and materialistic worldviews brought about. Barriers have today been erected-so we think-against such abuses, but White Fang provides another opportunity that London did not have, and that is to wonder aloud if the barriers so erected will really, in the end, prove effective. White Fang, then, while being a thrilling ride into nature and naturalism, takes on new dimensions of analysis for modern readers who seek to understand the mentality of a particular set of individuals in the late 1800's and early 1900's.…
