The Age of Happy Problems

The Age of Happy Problems

In his first book of non-fiction originally published in 1962 Herbert Gold explores some not-so-happy problems confronting people in an age of mass destruction mass inertia mass everything. While acknowledging that we live in a time of utmost global significance-war on an enormous scale was a reality of the twentieth century and continues to threaten unadulterated evil has exhibited itself in grandiose proportions-Gold tackles issues and problems which are very much of significance to the individual: teaching writing love marriage divorce and death. In The Age of Happy Problems Gold takes the reader through a journey of eclectic characters situations and locales. Part I is a selection of essays entitled American Events. In The Age of Happy Problems we are presented with an analysis of the problems facing people in the middle of their lives and careers. How to Be an Artist's Wife explores the prospect of being married and remaining married to a temperamental and egotistical artist. Divorce as a Moral Act describes the termination of marriage as a means for renewal and the chance to start over again the search for love. The Bachelor's Dilemma evokes the decisions confronting the male of the big city. And A Dog in Brooklyn A Girl in Detroit: A Life Among the Humanities is a memoir on the paradoxes of teaching in a university. Part II is entitled American Places. The author examines in this section various American lifestyles. In Paris: Notes from La Vie de Boheme Gold describes Americans abroad why they decide to become expatriates and how they adapt to their new surroundings. In Greenwich Village: The Changing Village he writes about the importance of New York City's symbol of change experiment and nonconformity. Finally the author meditates on Death in Miami Beach offering a moving account of the relationship between death and the popular Florida city. Gold writes: How can I total it up? What is the map of the map? Well to begin with Plato was wrong. The life of contemplation is not sufficient. and for another thing Plato was right. He knew that men must learn to come together in the practice of intelligence and moral privilege. Gold's essays stemming from the author's own humanity are just as poignant and relevant today as they were when they were first published. The Age of Happy Problems is sure to captivate but perhaps most of all make the reader contemplate the importance of these issues for his or her own life.

Government Action and Morality Some Principles and Concepts of Liberal-Deomocracy

Government Action and Morality Some Principles and Concepts of Liberal-Deomocracy

This book was first published in 1964. Everything in politics has changed since then why a reprint? Because moral criticisms of governments haven’t changed. Indeed historical comparison suggests a disconcerting similarity. We still accept a liberal-democratic morality and politics and believe that it is individuals who bear moral responsibility. How can we reconcile the corporate actions of governments with individual responsibility? Is the private life of politicians relevant to their official actions? Should politicians resign if they disagree with government policy? These problems are still with us and the 1964 discussion of them remains illuminating. We elect governments to further our material interests but we also believe that they should express our moral ideals for example by providing vaccines alleviating poverty or supporting oppressed countries. Are moral ideals consistent with political realism? The book reconciles these apparently opposed positions by introducing the concept of governments as ‘moral intermediaries. ’ The reconciliation develops liberal-democracy in a way that will interest political theorists. As a whole the book offers a readable discussion of the many ways in which morality has a bearing on government action and it captures and analyses contemporary political and moral aspirations. | Government Action and Morality Some Principles and Concepts of Liberal-Deomocracy

Visible Numbers Essays on the History of Statistical Graphics

Visible Numbers Essays on the History of Statistical Graphics

Bringing together scholars from around the world this collection examines many of the historical developments in making data visible through charts graphs thematic maps and now interactive displays. Today we are used to seeing data portrayed in a dizzying array of graphic forms. Virtually any quantified knowledge from social and physical science to engineering and medicine as well as business government or personal activity has been visualized. Yet the methods of making data visible are relatively new innovations most stemming from eighteenth- and nineteenth-century innovations that arose as a logical response to a growing desire to quantify everything-from science economics and industry to population health and crime. Innovators such as Playfair Alexander von Humboldt Heinrich Berghaus John Snow Florence Nightingale Francis Galton and Charles Minard began to develop graphical methods to make data and their relations more visible. In the twentieth century data design became both increasingly specialized within new and existing disciplines-science engineering social science and medicine-and at the same time became further democratized with new forms that make statistical business and government data more accessible to the public. At the close of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first an explosion in interactive digital data design has exponentially increased our access to data. The contributors analyze this fascinating history through a variety of critical approaches including visual rhetoric visual culture genre theory and fully contextualized historical scholarship. | Visible Numbers Essays on the History of Statistical Graphics

This lavishly illustrated study is a comprehensive literary and social history which offers a record of changing genres manuscript/book production and cultural political and religious emphases by examining one of the most long lived popular legends in England. Guy of Warwick became part of history when he was named in chronicles and heraldic rolls. The power of the Earls of Warwick especially Richard de Beauchamp inspired the spread of the legend but Guy's highest fame came in the Renaissance as one of the Nine Worthies. Widely praised in texts and allusions Guy's feats were sung in ballads and celebrated on the stage in England and France. The first Anglo-Norman romance of Gui de Warewic a Saxon hero of the tenth century was written in the early 13th century; the latest retellings of the legend are contemporary. Examples of Guy's legend can be found in two English translations that survived the Middle Ages a new French prose romance a didactic tale in the Gesta Romanorum and late medieval versions in Celtic German and Catalan as well as English. Guy remained a favorite Edwardian children's story and was featured in the Warwick Pageant an historical extravaganza of 1906.
