The Uses of the Past: Profiles of Former Societies is a thought-provoking exploration of history and human civilization by Herbert J. Muller. Drawing on his wide expertise as a historian and scholar, Muller surveys notable societies—from Greece and Rome to Western Christendom and the Byzantine Empire—with the aim of uncovering enduring patterns and lessons about human meaning and progress. Rather than merely recounting events, he investigates how past societies shaped ideas, institutions, and cultural values that continue to influence the present. Throughout the book, Muller emphasizes that understanding the past not only informs our grasp of contemporary challenges but also deepens our awareness of who we are as inheritors of complex civilizations. — Quick view Add to Cart

Richard Arthur’s Natural Deduction offers a fresh and engaging introduction to the study of logic. Written in lively, accessible prose, Arthur blends modern “informal logic” techniques with classical natural deduction methods, making complex concepts surprisingly approachable. What sets this book apart is its rich historical perspective: from the ideas of Pythagoras, the Stoics, and Indian Buddhist logicians, to the playful insights of Lewis Carroll, Venn, Boole, and Monty Python, culminating in the work of Russell and Frege. Arthur doesn’t just teach logic—he brings it to life, showing how centuries of thinkers have wrestled with reasoning, argument, and the art of thinking clearly. — Quick view Add to Cart

In Ghost from the Grand Banks, Arthur C. Clarke spins a riveting tale of ambition, technology, and tragedy set around the centennial of the Titanic’s sinking. In a near-future 2012, two competing salvage corporations embark on daring missions to raise the Titanic’s two halves from the ocean floor. As they race against time, they contend with unexpected obstacles—politics, environmental forces, and even mysterious discoveries such as a preserved corpse in a sealed cabin. Clarke blends speculative science, ethical dilemmas, and the lingering ghost of human hubris to ask whether resurrecting the past is a noble act—or a dangerous one.

This Penguin Classics edition gathers two of Dostoyevsky’s most psychologically penetrating novellas. In Notes from Underground, an unnamed narrator, alienated and deeply self-critical, retreats into bitter isolation, railing against society’s pressures and the illusion of rational order. In The Double, a stifled government clerk encounters a man who looks just like him, or perhaps embodies his darker self, probing the thin line between identity, madness, and reality. Ronald Wilks’s translation, aided by Robert Louis Jackson’s introduction, illuminates Dostoyevsky’s themes of alienation, identity, and existential tension with clarity and literary care. — Quick view Add to Cart

Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego is one of Sigmund Freud’s most influential explorations of the human psyche in social contexts, extending his psychoanalytic insights into the realm of groups and collective behavior. In this seminal work Freud probes how individuals’ identities and conscious control are transformed when they become part of a group, addressing the emotional bonds and instinctual forces—what he terms “libidinal ties”—that bind collective entities such as churches, armies, and crowds. By tracing group dynamics to underlying psychological processes like identification, suggestion, and the “herd instinct,” Freud reveals the profound tension between personal autonomy and the instinctive pull of collective life, offering a foundational text in both psychoanalytic theory and social psychology. — Quick view Add to Cart

“I am a sick man… I am a wicked man.” With this shocking declaration, Fyodor Dostoevsky launched one of the most groundbreaking works in world literature. Notes from Underground stands at a threshold—not only between nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction, but between two radically different visions of the human self. Its nameless narrator is a fractured consciousness: a man of many selves, all in conflict with one another, and with the world at large.

Now, Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky—renowned for their definitive English translations of Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov—offer a superb new rendering of this classic, capturing both its tragic depth and its dark, ironic comedy. — Quick view Add to Cart
