Book Synopsis :

From the ampersat and amerpsand, via smileys and runes to the ubiquitous presence of mathematical and other symbols in sciences and technology: both old and modern documents abound with many familiar as well as lesser known characters, symbols and other glyphs.Yet, who would be readily able to answer any question like: ?who chose ? to represent the ratio of a circle?s diameter to its circumference?? or ?what?s the reasoning behind having a ? key on my computer keyboard?? This book is precisely for those who have always asked themselves this sort of questions.So, here are the stories behind one hundred glyphs, the book being evenly divided into five parts, with each featuring 20 symbols. Part 1, called Character sketches, looks at some of the glyphs we use in writing. Part 2, called Signs of the times, discusses some glyphs used in pol?itics, religion, and other areas of everyday life. Some of these symbols are common; others are used only rarely. Some are modern inventions; others,

(PDF/ePub) From Slavery to the Cooperative Commonwealth: Labor and Republican Liberty in the Nineteenth Century Writen By Alexander H. Gourevitch

From Slavery to the Cooperative Commonwealth: Labor and Republican Liberty in the Nineteenth Century This book reconstructs how a group of nineteenth-century labor reformers appropriated and radicalized the republican tradition. These "labor republicans" derived their definition of freedom from a long tradition of political theory dating back to the classical republics. In this tradition, to be free is to be independent of anyone else's will - to be dependent is to be a slave. Borrowing these ideas, labor republicans argued that wage laborers were unfree because of their abject dependence on their employers. Workers in a cooperative, on the other hand, were considered free because they equally and collectively controlled their work. Although these labor republicans are relatively unknown, this book details their unique, contemporary, and valuable perspective on both American history and the organization of the economy.

In his new book, Anthony DePalma, a veteran reporter with years of experience in Cuba, focuses on a neighborhood across the harbor from Old Havana to dramatize the optimism as well as the enormous challenges that Cubans face: a moving snapshot of Cuba with all its contradictions as the new regime opens the gate to the capitalism that Fidel railed against for ...
