PAPERBACK, very good. previous owner's name inside front cover. SHERWIN, MARTIN J. A world destroyed: Hiroshima and the origins of the arms race. Foreword by Robert J. Lifton. Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 2004, later printing of the Third Edition, xl, 375pp., . The assumptions and attitudes behind opposing views over nuclear weapons were formed in secret during World War II during the discussions about building the bombs and then using them against urban targets. Sherwin (history, Tufts U.) argues that many of the ideas that were originally intended to avert a nuclear arms race after the war were ironically responsible for nuclear proliferation. He examines the decision making process that resulted in the destruction of Hiroshima, suggesting that the use of the bomb was not considered the only option for Japanese surrender, but instead the best political option, especially vis-à-vis Soviet entry into the war. 9780804739573 ISBN 0804739579.

PAPERBACK, some ink underlining on a few pages, dog-eared, otherwise still quite good copy for reading. MEHLMAN, JEFFREY. Adventures in the French trade: fragments toward a life - SOME MARKINGS. Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 2010, xiv, 173pp., . Series: Cultural memory in the present. - This memoir is less a chronicle of the life of a leading scholar/critic of matters French (and a key figure in the naturalization of French "theory" in English) than a series of differently angled fragments, episodes, each with its attendant surprise, in what one commentator has called Jeffrey Mehlman's amour vache, his injured and occasionally injurious love, for France and the French. The reader will encounter a number of masters of the art of reading in these pages, the exhilaration elicited by their achievements, and the unexpected (and occasionally unsettling) resonances those achievements have had in the author's life. With all its idiosyncrasies, Adventures in the French Trade illustrates and illuminates an intellectual generation in ways that will attract not only people who recall the heady days of the rise and reign of French theory but also those who do not. A provocative response to the numerous my-life-in-France books published in recent years, it should also be of interest to students of intellectual history, literary criticism, Jewish studies, the history of American academia, and the genre of the memoir itself., "This wondrous memoir draws the reader into a unique career and `trade' that have been points of reference on the horizon of French letters since the middle 1960s. It is sensuous, engaging, of great sweep, and in its observations both cutting and entertaining. No one of his generation bears the same signature as Jeffrey Mehlman; Adventures in the French Trade tells us why."--Tom Conley, Harvard University., "This highly personal, remarkably irritating, and unmistakably brilliant memoir presents an intriguing variety of academic situations interwoven with certain crucial political and cultural affairs in France over the years and their repercussions in the United States. Its unmistakable voice (so very Mehlman) is the source of its fascination."--Mary Ann Caws, Graduate School, City University of New York - CONTENTS: Beginning and end -- Initiation -- Cities : New York/Angoulême ; Boston/Vichy -- Fathers : Hugo 2000 -- fiction ; Kandahar 2000 -- fact -- Teachers : Chiasmus ; Derrida ; Bellow in Boston ; Antinomian Steiner ; A professor retires -- Students : Genet in New Haven -- repercussions and resonances ; Mother Harvard ; The heart of the matter (a graduation speech) -- Semblables et frères : Louis Wolfson ; Walter Benjamin ; Afrancesado -- coda in Buenos Aires.

PAPERBACK, very good, slightest wear to one corner. VATTIMO, GIANNI. Belief. Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 1999, 98pp., . "In this book, Gianni Vattimo explores the theme of faith and religion which underlies much of his work. Written in a personal, conversational style, Vattimo examines such concepts as charity, truth, dogmatism, morality and sin through the lens of his own life and his own return to Christianity." "At the center of the book is the enigma of belief. Freed by modernity from its Platonic subordination to knowledge, belief is recovered as a crucial and inevitable feature of our cultural and personal lives. "Do you believe?" Vattimo is asked. "I believe so," he replies." "Through an analysis of his own responses to the work of Nietzsche and Heidegger, Vattimo explores the relationship between the nihilism and his own life as a devout Catholic, leading him to conclude that secularization stems from a Christian impulse, and that nihilism too could only have emerged from a Christian culture." "This original contribution to the contemporary debate on religion will be of interest to scholars and students of theology, religious studies and philosophy.". ISBN 0804739196.

Budick, Sanford / Iser, Wolfgang, ed. The Translatability of cultures: figurations of the space between. Edited by Sanford Budick and Wolfgang Iser. Stanford, Calif: Stanford University Press, 1996, Original printing 1996, xiv, 348pp., PAPERBACK, top foredge soiled, and a few flecks on rear cover, otherwise very good copy. Irvine studies in the humanities. - Translation between any two languages sets in motion a tug-of-war around those aspects of each language that are least accessible to agreed-upon equivalents, around those aspects of expression and understanding that are unique to a given culture. This struggle - between possession and dispossession, or between reinscription and obliteration - is necessarily perilous for the culture that has less power to retain the usages of its language. Since translation wields powerful forces of cultural change, it is an arena both of the global coercions of national cultures and of the local dominations of everyday others by everyday selves. Thus the ethics of translation are both the ethics of cross-cultural discourse and the unit problem of ethical discourse itself., The fourteen essays in this volume - which consider a wide variety of cultures from ancient Egypt to contemporary Japan - address both sorts of discourse and elucidate the two-way or mutual conditioning of cultural positions as well as the illusions and exclusions created by mutuality. In short, the essays describe the conditions under which cultures that do not dominate each other may yet achieve a limited translatability of cultures. - CONTENTS: Crises of alterity : cultural untranslatability and the experience of secondary otherness / Sanford Budick -- Perspectives in history -- Translating gods : religion as a factor of cultural (un)translatability / Jan Assmann -- Visual syncretism : a case study / Moshe Barasch -- Translatio studii and Renaissance : from vertical to horizontal translation / Karlheinz Stierle -- Augustine, Chaucer, and the translation of biblical poetics / Lawrence Besserman -- The curse and blessing of Babel, or, looking back on universalisims / Aleida Assmann -- Emerson's constitutional amending : reading "fate" / Stanley Cavell -- The Holocaust and the construction of modern American literary criticism : the case of Lionel Trilling / Emily Miller Budick -- Discovering America : a cross-cultural perspective / Sacvan Bercovitch -- "It is time" : the Buber-Rosenzweig Bible translation in context / Klaus Reichert -- The black hole of culture : Japan, radical otherness, and the disappearance of difference (or, "in Japan everything normal") / Ludwig Pfeiffer -- Models of relationship -- Border crossings, translating theory : Ruth / J.
