Woo! I have this myself, only by now it's been so well-loved that it looks like an antique that you need gloves to handle, lol! Glad I could steer you towards something I hope you love. :D

u/SickRose · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I could certainly use this sort of humor in my life

Also, welcome to RaoA! And good on your for choosing subjectively. I love to see contests that don't rely on reddit raffle. :)

u/Snow_Raptor · 1 pointr/nerdfighters

The authros are bnot in an specific order, but the books under each one are in suggested reading order for leisure maximization:

Douglas Adams

  • The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy (I recommend The ultimate edition which contains the 5 books plus the short story)

    Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels

  • The Colour of Magic
  • The Light Fantastic (sequel of the above)
  • Mort
  • Try to follow the advice from this image about reading order

    Aldous Huxley

  • Brave New World

    I would also add to deltatag's choir about George Orwell's 1984.
u/erl_queen · 1 pointr/HellenicPolytheism

Actually, even though menstruation taboos were found in other ancient cultures, the Greeks did not include it under miasma, as far as we can tell. Parker discusses this in his seminal book Miasma, and there's also a good, thorough blog post about the topic here. Unfortunately there are a lot of misconceptions about miasma out there, especially on the internet - which is why it is still best to get your information from academic books (although of course even scholars are not exempt from misunderstanding or mistaking things).

Also good to keep in mind that while some things were considered miasma across the board, a lot of the specific rules for purity applied to particular cults and temples (meaning that they could even be different for the same god in different places). And there was a much less stringent standard applied outside of the temples (which were the homes of the gods). Depending on whether you consider and treat your home shrine as a temple space, or worship outdoors, changes how you deal with miasma too.

Utilitarianism says that the best action is one that increases the overall good. Rioting reduces "good" for lots of people (especially those who have their stuff destroyed or stolen) by reducing the overall "good" in society.

Some basic reading:
Utilitarianism and Other Essays.
On Liberty and Other Essays.
A Theory of Justice.

Utilitarianism is one of the major philosophies behind human/animal rights and abolition (of slavery). John Stuart Mill's writings have had a large impact on various political philosphies as well as science.

u/leadchipmunk-barter · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_of_Books

Thank you so much. I don't know which book you mean, so I'll link both and let you pick. Please buy used, as there's no need to spend extra on a new copy if I'm going to re-cover it, so obviously the condition doesn't matter.

HGtG:
http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Hitchhikers-Guide-Unabridged-published/dp/B00E6T900M/ Here's the second version that I owned.

http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Hitchhikers-Guide-Douglas-Adams/dp/0517149257/ Here's is a cheaper version, but should have all of the same content.

Story of Mankind: http://www.amazon.com/Story-Mankind-Complete-Unabridged-Illustrations/dp/B00589YDDS/ This is the version I had from 1921, I think.

I'll PM you my address. I remember you from sending me "Thank You for Smoking" when you offered it a while back so I definitely owe you something good.

Fortunately, miasma is one of those topics for which there is a goodly amount of academic research available if you want to dig into the topic deeper.

A very good book dedicated to the subject is "Miasma: Pollution & Purification in Early Greek Religion" by Robert Parker

Edit: the price is steep for many but if you have a good local library it'll be there; or if you scour eBay, you should be able to find it at a more affordable price.

u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/reddit.com

I've never seen that cover before! I read the first book - Heinemann version back in 2000. The rest were from Pan Books. I got myself an omnibus edition last year. but the new edition's cover of the individual books looks good as well. kinda reminds me of the Jetsons.

edit : found the UK 2009 versions - and totally want.

u/davidjricardo · 2 pointsr/Christianity

That is definitely the curveball on my list. It a short story (~10 pages) published in Of Other Worlds (I think it might be published in another volume as well). It is a "hard Science Fiction" about travelling to the moon. It begins with this quote from Perelandra

> that what was myth in one world might always be fact in some other.

I think it is my favorite short story by any author.

u/jeantoine · 1 pointr/romanceauthors

New historical romance on pre-release. Check it out wherehttps://www.amazon.com/I-Will-Follow-Eternity-Beyond-ebook/dp/B01N57P10B/

u/simiain · 3 pointsr/PoliticalPhilosophy

Seconding /u/ivanthecurious 's suggestion of Manin's Principles of Representative Government, its a really readable historical account of the rise of consent and representation in democracy.

I'm reading JS Mill's 'On Representative Government' and it seems like it might be exactly what you're looking for, not contemporary by any means, but a thorough defence of the principles of representation

u/HowkeCotchmeEye · 2 pointsr/books

The Basic Writings of Bertrand Russell?? I think that would fit your criteria.

u/jasonlitka · 2 pointsr/science

Check Barnes and Noble. A couple years back I got the complete hardcover for less than $3.

It was this version, apparently not the newest edition, not sure how anything could have changed though.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/0517149257/

u/RazarTuk · 1 pointr/Catholicism

I've been using the Electronic Introduction to Old English and Sweet's Primer.

NOTE: The first link is through web.archive.org, since they took down the online version with the new print edition. I mention this because I know some corporate firewalls block the site, since it's easy to use for more nefarious purposes.

u/adrun · 2 pointsr/books

Not in Lewis's opinion either! (Source: One of the essays in Of Other Worlds.)

u/efg1342 · 3 pointsr/reddit.com

There's a local historical area I go to often with my family. There are always some morons out there preaching as this is a pretty big tourist spot. I am always tempted to take my copy of HHG2G and just start reading it.

u/Syphor · 1 pointr/AskReddit

Oops, I just noticed this. >.> Also, no, there's really not much difference, cept that the Ultimate edition is all 5 books in a collection. Amazon link - look at the cover, it lists all the books within. If that's not what you were asking about, whoops, sorry. @.@

u/tacire_niyalma · 3 pointsr/scots

Ah, too bad.
Do you have any recommandations for more authentic Scots literature? For my first book I want to read a story I'm familiar with and had my eye on the recently published Jean Eyre translation.

u/IAmGarrisonKeillor · 7 pointsr/books

It's the 90s edition of the Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It normally has an ugly dust jacket on it. Back to the Future 2 lied. We still don't have dust repellent paper.
