On culture: : Small minds, big business, & the psychedelic solution
ISBN: 9781494495152 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In his first book, "On Culture: small minds, big business, & the psychedelic solution," Chris Rice manages to successfully weave together hallucinogens, meta-physics, psychology and government corruption into a coherent commentary that reads as though it were a "how to" for the cyberdelic revolution. The book advocates a refined conscious capitalism economy with a focus on community over profits, and the power of the consumer instead of power over the consumer. The author somehow believes that arrival at this conclusion is most easily achieved through mind expanding drugs by some segment of...

The End Is Not Near: How the Culture of Fear Has Corrupted Democracy, Built an Empire, and Eroded Our Intellectual Life
ISBN: 9781500881832 / Angielski / Miękka / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "The End Is Not Near" asks a very simple question: can we have a functioning democracy and society when millions of people are existentially terrified of what lies ahead? The United States has a long history of believing itself the chosen nation of God, convinced even today that we are an exceptional nation. However, the belief that the United States is providentially chosen to lead the world into the kingdom of God rests on Christian prophetic traditions that ironically, in many interpretations, begin with the epic destruction of mankind at the battle of Armageddon. How is it that a mostly...

Folding the Red Into the Black: Developing a Viable Untopia for Human Survival in the 21st Century
ISBN: 9781944869069 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Walter Mosley is one of America's bestselling novelists, known for his critically acclaimed series of mysteries featuring private investigator Easy Rawlins. His writing is hard-hitting, often limned with a political subtext--aimed at a broad audience.
When Mosley was working on a doctorate in political theory, he envisioned himself writing very different kinds of books from the ones he writes now. But once you've been tagged as a novelist, and in Mosley's case, a genre writer, even a bestselling one, it is hard to get an airing of ideas that cross those boundaries. Folding the Red into...

Utopia
ISBN: 9781784787608 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Five-hundred-year anniversary edition of More's Utopia, with writing from major science fiction writers
Five hundred years since its first publication, Thomas More's Utopia remains astonishingly radical and provocative. More imagines an island nation where thousands live in peace and harmony, men and women are both educated, and property is communal. In a text hovering between fantasy, satire, blueprint and game, More explores the theories and realities behind war, political conflicts, social tensions and redistribution, and imagines the day-to-day lives of a...

Retrotopia
ISBN: 9781509515318 / Angielski / Twarda / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We have long since lost our faith in the idea that human beings could achieve human happiness in some future ideal state - a state that Thomas More, writing five centuries ago, tied to a 'topos', a fixed place, a land, an island, a sovereign state under a wise and benevolent ruler. But while we have lost our faith in utopias of all hues, the human aspiration that made this vision so compelling has not died. Instead it is re-emerging today as a vision focused not on the future but on the past, not on a future-to-be-created but on an abandoned and undead past that we could call retrotopia....

Utopian Ambition: Constitution of the 2100 Atlantian Republic
ISBN: 9781534835290 / Angielski / Miękka / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is divided in three different parts: first, a national consolidation. This means that, as long as we keep turning our backs on each other and ignoring the fact we are all worthy of a dignified life as a dominant species, progress will never become achievable. Second, when everyone is able to live a life worthy of human conditions, there will come the time for Transhumanism to prevail. Most people do not realize we have been transhumanizing our bodies for decades. Third, we are already looking into outer space for the so-called exoplanets, similar to Earth in their atmospheric and...

Communities Directory: Guide to Cooperative Living
ISBN: 9780971826496 / Angielski / Miękka / 610 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A more cooperative world is possible. If we were to put the entire history of humankind into a 24-hour-day, it would only be in the past couple minutes that civilization has looked like this. Pollution. Exploitation. Isolation. Disparity. Symptoms of a society out of control, and certainly not one that was designed to last. But what if we could live differently? It turns out, more than 100,000 people already are, in ecovillages, cohousing, communes, and communities of all kinds around the world. They're working together to create fair, sustainable, and satisfying models of society.How can you...

Utopia Drive: A Road Trip Through America's Most Radical Idea
ISBN: 9780374537012 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For Erik Reece, life, at last, was good: he was newly married, gainfully employed, living in a creekside cabin in his beloved Kentucky woods. It sounded, as he describes it, "like a country song with a happy ending." And yet he was still haunted by a sense that the world--or, more specifically, his country--could be better. He couldn't ignore his conviction that, in fact, the good ol' USA was in the midst of great social, environmental, and political crises--that for the first time in our history, we were being swept into a future that had no future. Where did we--here, in the land of... For Erik Reece, life, at last, was good: he was newly married, gainfully employed, living in a creekside cabin in his beloved Kentucky woods. It so... |

DIY Utopia: Cultural Imagination and the Remaking of the Possible
ISBN: 9781498523882 / Angielski / Twarda / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At first glance, contemporary popular culture, filled with bleak images of the future, seems to have given up on the possibility of positive collective change. Below the surface, however, alternative culture is rife with artist-led projects, activist movements, and subcultural communities of interest that seek to spark the collective imagination and to encourage hunger for alternatives. More playfully self-conscious than past utopian movements, today's are often whimsical or ironic, but are still entirely earnest. Artists invite us to re-author city maps, or archive individual ideas for the...
