Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (CUP). 296 pp. Paperback octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear. Gerard Delanty assesses the idea of cosmopolitanism in social and political thought, and which links cosmopolitan theory with critical social theory. He argues that cosmopolitanism has a critical dimension which solves one of the weaknesses in the critical theory tradition: failure to respond to the challenges of globalization and intercultural communication. Critical cosmopolitanism is an approach that is not only relevant to social scientific analysis but also normatively grounded in a critical attitude. The argument for a critical sociologically-oriented cosmopolitanism avoids purely normative conceptions of cosmopolitanism as well as approaches that reduce cosmopolitanism to the empirical expression of diversity. He takes cosmopolitan theory beyond the largely Western context with which it has generally been associated to include non-Western expressions of cosmopolitanism. ISBN/ASIN: 9780521695459.

He trained in 41 Militia Battalion in the 1930s and then joined the newly-formed AIF in 1939. He was appointed as an officer to 2/2 Infantry Battalion (6 Division) and sent to the Middle East. After the early campaigns along the African north coast, the division was sent to Greece where Green was involved in the fighting withdrawal against the Germans. He escaped to Turkey before he could be captured. He was appointed CO of 2/11 Infantry Battalion and led them in the North New Guinea campaigns. He had a spell as a post-war civilian, and then rejoined the army and as Lieutenant-Colonel Green, and took 3RAR to the Korean War in 1950. He led the battalion successfully in a difficult battle in North Korea where he took a stray shell mortally wounding him. His wife Olwyn Green wrote this book (originally published in 1993) to help her to understand Charlie's military career which she had never fully appreciated. Olwyn traces his story through interviews with his fighting companions and from letters he wrote home to her. Her long search has produced an inspiring picture of the fine simple man who became an outstanding military leader, lost by chance, in a distant war. Facsimile edition. ISBN/ASIN: 9780980567434.

An American expert on vaccines challenges the modern-day false prophets who have so egregiously misled the public and exposes the opportunism of the lawyers, journalists, celebrities, and politicians who support them. Offit recounts the history of autism research and the exploitation of this tragic condition by advocates and zealots. A London researcher asserted that the combination measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) caused autism in children (later debunked). Some parents then declared that a mercury-containing preservative in several vaccines was responsible for the disease. Children with autism have also been placed on stringent diets, subjected to high-temperature saunas, bathed in magnetic clay, asked to swallow digestive enzymes and activated charcoal, and injected with various combinations of vitamins, minerals, and acids. He considers the manipulation of science in the popular media and the courtroom, and he explores why society is susceptible to the bad science and risky therapies put forward by many anti-vaccination activists.

Said brings together history, philosophy, structuralism and critical theory in a stimulating work of literary criticism. The author argues that during the 18th and 19th centuries, the novel was the major attempt in Western literary culture to give beginnings an authorizing, institutional and specialized role in art, experience and knowledge. He traces this idea through the late 19th and early 20th centuries - to Freud's discoveries and the novels of modernist authors - and examines the question of beginnings in critical discourse, and the work of the French structuralists. He combines philosophy and belles-lettres, and does not separate literature from history, philosophy and social discourse, thereby broadening the role of criticism from celebration and orthodoxy to re-experiencing and questioning.
