The Story of Philosophy is a brand new and highly ambitious survey of the thinkers and ideas that have perplexed humanity from time immemorial. Accessible writing, brilliant scholarship and over 150 colour illustrations combine to form a richly informative and highly entertaining work of narrative history. Starting with the most important figures in the Greek era, including Thales of Miletus - often referred to as the first philosopher - Pythagoras and Plato, the story continues with the great religious thinkers of medieval Europe such as Augustine, Aquinas and Maimonides, key players of the Enlightenment such as Descartes, Hobbes and Voltaire, their successors in the Romantic era such as Marx and Nietzsche, and concluding with a survey of 20th and 21st century philosophy.

Abby is about to start sixth grade. At first she's excited, but then fears of the changes middle school will bring get the best of her. *Includes Abby's own guide to sixth grade!*Abby can't believe it--sixth grade is about to begin! At first, she's excited. Being in sixth grade means moving up to middle school, having different teachers for each subject, and meeting new friends from other elementary schools. Then Abby receives "An Insider's Guide to Sixth Grade." It's all about the negative things Abby can expect -- boy-crazy friends, dating, moodiness, mean teachers, boy-girl parties, and more. Abby doesn't think she's ready for so many changes at once. When sixth grade starts, Abby realizes that some things (and people) are different, but so is she.

"Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government. Obama will ensure that federal agencies expedite the process for reviewing whistleblower claims and whistleblowers have full access to courts and due process."These words of Obama sounds ridiculous now after his administration took serious actions against both Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden as Whistle Blowers themselves! A Whistle blower according to Wikipedia "is a person who exposes misconduct, alleged dishonest or illegal activity occurring in an organization."The importance of this book doesn’t come only as a book that tells the story of Wikileaks from the inside but from behind the scenes stories of the biggest digital leak in history. To be honest, I’m not a media fan myself and I always been skeptical of media in generals and what they do usually to get a story but for the first time in years I was mind blown by the great efforts and remarkable work the Guardians, New York times and Der Spiegel had done to get the leaked cables about Afghanistan, Iraq and others to the public.The Wikileaks video that shows Reuters reporters being killed in Iraq along with those who came to rescue the injured!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13qWAD...David Leigh starts his book by talking about the motive behind Manning’s leaking of the US government documents that in subsequent chapters became more understandable by tracing the growth of Manning till his service in the US military. Hacktivism is the global phenomenon that drove the young US soldier to do what he did. Hacktivism according to Wikipedia (a portmanteau of hack and activism) is the use of computers and computer networks to promote political ends, chiefly free speech, human rights, and informationethics. If you are a techie person as myself, you will be fascinated by the employment of the internet, security, open source, file transfer, encryption techniques that was used to transfer and route data and cable files without being traced back!! I was mind blown and went into hilarious laughter when I found that Julian Assange gave files passwords to the editors on a restaurant napkin! The work the IT staff along with the journal’s editors work was really impressive given limited time and expertise to analyze the document, check their authenticity and provide statistics on the horrible war causalities of the war in both Afghanistan and Iraq along with how these incidents and direct actions were reported by the US soldiers.Through the pages of this book, you will learn more about Julian Assange, his childhood and early brilliance, Wikileaks, the sexual accusation against him the happened in Sweden with in depth focus on these stories, what people who worked with him think of and you may come with some conclusions that he was a brilliant dude but yet an idiot!! His asylum in Ecuador embassy where he still lives till the moment and how he advised Snowden on how to act after his leaked documents as well who himself now has an asylum in Russia!! for those who are more interested in Assange, you can check the documentary: We steal secrets, the story of Wikileaks.We steal secrets: the story of WikileaksAs a book in general, the book is well-written and smooth. David Leigh for sure is a good journalist who was able to grab your attention and thrill you through the chapters urging you to hub in into the next chapter. I can’t imagine how this would felt if it was published as stories in the Guardians, it would strike publishing for sure. Oscar Wilds says: Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth! but these young men didn't need the mask to stand up and tell the truth... when would we be brave enough to stand and own this truth!PS: you can check this link on the verdict on Bradley Manning and the implication on the free of speech that his trial invoked.

Ever since its first publication in 1992, The End of History and the Last Man has provoked controversy and debate. Francis Fukuyama's prescient analysis of religious fundamentalism, politics, scientific progress, ethical codes, and war is as essential for a world fighting fundamentalist terrorists as it was for the end of the Cold War. Now updated with a new afterword, The End of History and the Last Man is a modern classic.

Intelligent Design: The Bridge Between Science and Theology is a 1999 book by William A. Dembski, in which the author presents an argument in support of intelligent design. Dembski defines the term "specified complexity", and argues that instances of it in nature cannot be explained by Darwinian evolution, but instead are consistent with the intelligent design. He also derives an instance of his self-declared law of conservation of information and uses it to argue against Darwinian evolution. The book is a summary treatment of the mathematical theory he presents in The Design Inference (1998), and is intended to be largely understandable by a nontechnical audience. Dembski also provides a Christian theological commentary, and analysis of, what he perceives to be the historical and cultural significance of the ideas.

Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Latin for Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), often referred to as simply the Principia (), is a work in three books by Isaac Newton, in Latin, first published 5 July 1687. After annotating and correcting his personal copy of the first edition, Newton published two further editions, in 1713 and 1726. The Principia states Newton's laws of motion, forming the foundation of classical mechanics; Newton's law of universal gravitation; and a derivation of Kepler's laws of planetary motion (which Kepler first obtained empirically).The Principia is considered one of the most important works in the history of science.
The French mathematical physicist Alexis Clairaut assessed it in 1747: "The famous book of Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy marked the epoch of a great revolution in physics. The method followed by its illustrious author Sir Newton ... spread the light of mathematics on a science which up to then had remained in the darkness of conjectures and hypotheses."

In The Malay Dilemma, former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad examines and analyses the make-up of the Malays and the problem of racial harmony in Malaysia. First published in 1970, the book seeks to explain the causes for the 13 May 1969 riots in Kuala Lumpur.Dr Mahathir sets out his view as to why the Malays are economically backward and why they feel they must insist upon immigrants becoming real Malaysians speaking in due course nothing but Malay, as do immigrants to America or Australia speak nothing but the language of what the author calls "the definitive people". He argues that the Malays are the rightful owners of Malaya. He also argues that immigrants are guests until properly absorbed, and that they are not properly absorbed until they have abandoned the language and culture of their past.
