Domenico Losurdo,Gregory Elliot: Liberalism: A Counter-History

Liberalism: A Counter-History


Description

In this definitive historical investigation, Italian author and philosopher Domenico Losurdo argues that from the outset liberalism, as a philosophical position and ideology, has been bound up with the most illiberal of policies: slavery, colonialism, genocide, racism and snobbery.

Lady Emily Marlowe is beautiful, independent, and unspoiled. Deaf since childhood, she appreciates her family s efforts to nurture her spirit, but the man they ve chosen for her betrothal can never fulfill her. The only one Emily has ever desired is bold and reckless Lord Ashley Kendrick. Her childhood amour inspired her fantasies and vowed never to forget her even as he left her for a new life in India and a new love. Originally serialized in Japan s Weekly Shonen Jump and experienced huge commercial success. Bugatti and Bentley, Alfa and Aston, Mercedes and McLaren-these are not merely cars, they are some of the most exquisite automobiles ever assembled, selected by Ralph Lauren, one of the foremost designers of our time. This breathtaking volume features 29 of these wonders-from such unparalleled masterpieces as the 1930 Mercedes Benz "Count Trossi," the 1938 Alfa Romeo Mille Miglia, and the 1938 Bugatti Atlantic Coupe to marvels from Jaguar, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Porsche and even a Ford "Woody"-each of these vehicles is lovingly photographed and presented with authoritative elegance. Complementing the images are sketches of these and other cars-rarely seen drawings that give insight into the conceptual and development stages of the automobiles. Now in its fourth printing, "Speed, Style, and Beauty" is the first book on cars to center its discussion squarely on the car's role as an art object. The 29 chapters, by two of the best known and most respected authors writing about cars today, gives the indispensable background information, but also approaches the cars the way an art historian would approach fine sculpture-treating them as consummate works of decorative art for the modern age. With over 160 color images by world-renowned photographer Michael Furman, plus an introductory interview with Ralph Lauren who discusses the links between the cars and his overall design philosophy, this is an elegant yet informative book that will delight both the rampant car enthusiast and aficionados of great design in any form. The sleekly curved chrome and steel of these timeless dream machines conjures the glamour of the 1930s, the opulent ease of the 1950s Awkward Family Holiday Photos free download pdf and the charged excitement of the 1980s-the perfect marriage of speed, style and beauty.
