![]() Type : epub | Size : 292.41 KB | English | Descirption: Whether we should obey the law is a question that affects everyone's day-to-day life, from traffic la to taxes. Most people obey out of habit, but the question remains: why are we morally required to do so? If we fail to obey, the state may enforce compliance, but is it right for it to do this, and if so, why? In this book, George Klosko, a renowned authority on political obligation, skillfully probes these questions. He considers various prominent theories of obligation and sho why they are unconvincing, contending that only an approach that interweaves multiple principles, rooted in "fair play," is fully persuasive. Klosko develops the fullest statement of his own well-known theory of political obligation while providing a clear overview of the subject. The result is both an essential introductory text for students of political theory and philosophy and a cutting-edge, original contribution to the debate. **

Deza finds himself forced to watch Tupra's collection of incriminating videotapes of important public figures. The recordings document unconventional private lives - and horrific acts. The scenes enter him like a poison, contaminating everything good, yet he is powerless to counteract them. Set against a background of brutality, Poison, Shadow and Farewell asks whether violence can ever be justified and completes the extraordinary journey that has led us on a descent into hell and a re-emergence, not entirely unscathed, into life.

I had to learn how to do so over time, and I continue to learn-each and every day. This is a process, and my body is constantly changing. So is yours. And when I learned how to accept that I will always be like this, I relaxed. Our bodies do not stand still for time. When you understand yourself and connect to how you can become body smart, you realize pretty quickly that the perfect, the ideal is not the goal. Instead, the goal is feeling good in your body. That's what leads to confidence, to feeling and looking fit, and being pretty happy. Doesn't that sound great? I think so! In almost every interview she gives, Kate Hudson is asked the same questions: What do you eat? How do you stay so fit? What workout do you do? What's your secret? Well, the secret is that the sound bites the media loves so much don't tell the story, and the steps you need to take to have a...

![]() Type : epub | Size : 1.11 MB | English | Descirption: In a horoscope he cast in 1647 for Charles I, William Lilly, a noted English astrologer, made the following judgment: "Luna is with Antares, a violent fixed star, which is said to denote violent death, and Mars is approaching Caput Algol, which is said to denote beheading." Two years later the king's head fell on the block. "Astrology must be right," wrote the American astrologer Evangeline Adams, a claimed descendant of President John Quincy Adams, in a challenge to skeptics in 1929. "There can be no appeal from the Infinite." The Fated Sky explores both the history of astrology and the controversial subject of its influence in history. It is the first serious book to fully engage astrology in this way. Astrology is the oldest of the occult sciences. It is also the origin of science itself. Astronomy, mathematics, and other disciplines arose in part to make possible the calculations necessary in casting horoscopes. For five thousand years, from the...

![]() Type : epub | Size : 64.4 MB | English | Descirption: The captivating story of the family behind Cartier and the three brothers who turned their grandfather's humble Parisian jewelry store into a global luxury icon-as told by a great-granddaughter with exclusive access to long-lost family archives "Four generations of genius, glamour, and ambition are laid bare in Brickell's behind-the-scenes account of the Cartier family."-Amanda Foreman, New York Times bestselling author of* A World on Fire The Cartiers* is the revealing tale of a jewelry dynasty-four generations, from revolutionary France to the 1960s. At its heart are the three Cartier brothers whose motto was "Never copy, only create" and who made their family firm internationally famous in the early days of the twentieth century, thanks to their unique and complementary talents: Louis, the visionary designer who created the first men's wristwatch to help an aviator friend tell the time without taking his hands off the controls of his flying machine; Pierre, the master dealmaker who bought the New York headquarters on Fifth Avenue for a double-stranded natural pearl necklace; and Jacques, the globe-trotting gemstone expert whose travels to India gave Cartier access to the world's best rubies, emeralds, and sapphires, inspiring the celebrated Tutti Frutti jewelry. Francesca Cartier Brickell, whose great-grandfather was the youngest of the brothers, has traveled the world researching her family's history, tracking down those connected with her ancestors and discovering long-lost pieces of the puzzle along the way. Now she reveals never-before-told dramas, romances, intrigues, betrayals, and more. The Cartiers also offers a behind-the-scenes look at the firm's most iconic jewelry-the notoriously cursed Hope Diamond, the Romanov emeralds, the classic panther pieces-and the long line of stars from the worlds of fashion, film, and royalty who wore them, from Indian maharajas and Russian grand duchesses to Wallis Simpson, Coco Chanel, and Elizabeth Taylor. Published in the two-hundredth anniversary year of the birth of the dynasty's founder, Louis-François Cartier, this book is a magnificent, definitive, epic social history shown through the deeply personal lens of one legendary family. ** Review "Francesca Cartier Brickell skillfully traces her family's astounding history through the contents of a weathered suitcase found in her grandfather's cellar. The result is a fascinating account of the Cartier brothers and the creation of this iconic and enduring luxury brand." -André Leon Talley, bestselling author of *A.L.T.: A Memoir* "The Cartiers is the glittering saga of one of the globe's most iconic jewelry dynasties, beautifully recounted by a direct descendant of the company's founders. With her insider's understanding of the family business, a historian's precision, and a novelist's keen eye for personal detail, Francesca Cartier Brickell has created a seeming contradiction: an epic yet personal chronicle. Through extensive research, including never-before-seen family archives, correspondence, and personal intervie, the author reflects not only on the accomplishments, joys, and heartaches of one illustrious family, but on two centuries of European and American culture, politics, business, economics, and personal mores. The Cartiers, in fact, demonstrates that hidden within the history of design and fashion is always also the history of the world at large." -Rhonda K. Garelick, dean of the college of Art and Design History and Theory, Parsons, author of *Mademoiselle: Coco Chanel and the Pulse of History* "A telling social history of the first half of the twentieth century in Paris, London, and New York, all through the lens of luxury and all that it entails. While the diamonds, emeralds, and sapphires are indeed stunning, it is the Cartier family characters who steal the show in this gem of a book." -Sonia Purnell, New York Times bestselling author of *A Woman of No Importance* "For more than a century, the name Cartier has been synonymous with glamour, wealth, style, and exquisite craftsmanship. Through the long-lost letters and journals of her ancestors, Francesca Cartier Brickell tells the intimate story of how her family's business conquered the world of luxury in the face of revolution, wars, and global depression. The Cartiers is an enchanting jewel of a book." -Douglas Smith, author of *Former People: The Final Days of the Russian Aristocracy* "Four generations of genius, glamour, and ambition are laid bare in Brickell's behind-the-scenes account of the Cartier family. Part social history, part affectionate memoir, The Cartiers is a pleasurable stroll through the glittering byways of a more elegant age."-Amanda Foreman, New York Times bestselling author of* A World on Fire* About the Author A graduate in English literature from Oxford University, Francesca Cartier Brickell is a direct descendant of the Cartier family. Her great-great-great-grandfather founded the world-famous firm in 1847. Her late grandfather Jean-Jacques Cartier was the last of the family to manage and own a branch of the firm that still bears their name. She is a sought-after international lecturer on Cartier's illustrious history and has given talks for major auction houses, museums, and societies. This book is the result of years of the author's independent research into her family and the business they founded. She lives with her husband and children between London and the South of France. |
