Hayek's Challenge

An Intellectual Biography of F.A. Hayek

By: Bruce Caldwell

Friedrich A. Hayek is regarded as one of the preeminent economic theorists of the twentieth century, as much for his work outside of economics as for his work within it. During a career spanning several decades, he made contributions in fields as diverse as psychology, political philosophy, the history of ideas, and the methodology of the social sciences. Bruce Caldwell—editor of The Collected Works of F. A. Hayek—understands Hayek's thought like few others, and with this book he offers us the first full intellectual biography of this pivotal social theorist. Caldwell begins by providing the necessary background for understanding Hayek's thought, tracing the emergence, in fin-de-siècle Vienna, of the Austrian school of economics—a distinctive analysis forged in the midst of contending schools of thought. In the second part of the book, Caldwell follows the path by which Hayek, beginning from the standard Austrian assumptions, gradually developed his unique perspective on not only economics but a broad range of social phenomena. In the third part, Caldwell offers both an assessment of Hayek's arguments and, in an epilogue, an insightful estimation of how Hayek's insights can help us to clarify and reexamine changes in the field of economics during the twentieth century. As Hayek's ideas matured, he became increasingly critical of developments within mainstream economics: his works grew increasingly contrarian and evolved in striking—and sometimes seemingly contradictory—ways. Caldwell is ideally suited to explain the complex evolution of Hayek's thought, and his analysis here is nothing short of brilliant, impressively situating Hayek in a broader intellectual context, unpacking the often difficult turns in his thinking, and showing how his economic ideas came to inform his ideas on the other social sciences. Hayek's Challenge will be received as one of the most important works published on this thinker in recent decades.

The Fate of Transcendentalism

Secularity, Materiality, and Human Flourishing

By: Bruce A. Ronda

The Fate of Transcendentalism examines the mid-nineteenth-century flowering of American transcendentalism and shows the movement’s influence on several subsequent writers, thinkers, and artists who have drawn inspiration and energy from the creative outpouring it produced. In this wide-ranging study, Bruce A. Ronda offers an account of the movement as an early example of the secular turn in American culture and brings to bear insights from philosopher Charles Taylor and others who have studied the broad cultural phenomenon of secularization. Ronda’s account turns on the interplay and tension between two strands in the transcendentalist movement. Many of the social experiments associated with transcendentalism, such as the Brook Farm and Fruitlands reform communities, Temple School, and the West Street Bookshop, as well as the transcendentalists’ contributions to abolition and women’s rights, spring from a commitment to human flourishing without reference to a larger religious worldview. Other aspects of the movement, particularly Henry Thoreau’s late nature writing and the rich tradition it has inspired, seek to minimize the difference between the material and the ideal, the human and the not-human. The Fate of Transcendentalism allows readers to engage with this fascinating dialogue between transcendentalist thinkers who believe that the ultimate end of human life is the fulfillment of human possibility and others who challenge human-centeredness in favor a relocation of humanity in a vital cosmos. Ronda traces the persistence of transcendentalism in the work of several representative twentieth- and twenty-first-century figures, including Charles Ives, Joseph Cornell, Truman Nelson, Annie Dillard, and Mary Oliver, and shows how this dialogue continues to inform important imaginative work to this date.

Current Research on Dieting and Proven Ways to Make It Work for Life

Anyone Can Lose and Keep It Off (It’s Not That Hard Really)

By: Bruce Miller JD and Team Golfwell

Do you know about current scientific research on dieting? Do you know about the "Fat Switch" discovery? You will learn new concepts in this book. Most of us have trouble staying on a diet. We certainly did. We kept going from one diet to another. Frustrated, we researched current scientific studies on how to stay on a diet and deal with food cravings.We found genuine ways to stay on a diet and have a healthy, energetic and good looking body. We share our research with you in this book.Here is what some have said about this book, “This book will change your life! It helped me tremendously. My diet has now become part of me. Extremely helpful and very well documented. I’m very happy and use this as a reference.” – Ann Williamson“ Very effective! This book put it all together for me! I don’t even think about diets anymore.” - Margie O’Hara "Five Stars. This book is all about having the right state of mind and positive attitude and not starving and depriving yourself of food. It has some very good tips on how to avoid craving and how to deal with various distractions on the way to fulfilling your goals and all that supported with quite a few references to published research. It's got also a thick handful of tips about how to stick to a diet of your choice, or a way of life, rather than describing the concrete diet itself although there are sections discussing in length different types of food and their qualities. "Eating right is the essence as opposed to what many understand as "dieting" and how to be relaxed and not stressed about it while understanding that best is to slowly lose weight and not rushing and falling into extremes - this is the underlying message the authors deliver. There is no universal "diet" - it is all very individual and will take some time to figure out what works for you in the long run and how to keep the results. The reader realizes that establishing new habits takes time. "It all starts with finding your motivation and setting reasonable goals both long and short-term and one must approach it in an easy manner in order to think and assess the current situation better." - Alexander E. Vapirev, Ph.D. If you have no trouble sticking to a diet, you don’t need to read this book. But if you do, you should get this book and carry it on your phone. It will change your life!

The Public Library Movement in Ontario, 1850-1930

By: Lorne Bruce

Free Books for All provides a detailed and reflective account of the people. groups, communities, and ideas that shaped library development in the decades between 1850 and 1930, from Egerton Ryerson to George Locke, from Mechanics Institutes to renovated Carnegie libraries. A chronological narrative, lively writings by the people involved, tables, maps, graphs, and period photographs combine to tell the stories of the librarians, trustees, educators, politicians, and library users who contributed to Ontario’s early public library system. The book brings to life a fascinating period of library history. The movement to use the power of local governments to furnish rate-supported library service for citizens was a successful Victorian and Edwardian thrust. Today, more than 500 public libraries span the province, serving as intermediary points between authors and readers and providing a wide scope of information and programming services for educational and recreational purposes. The libraries themselves are, in part, a tribute to the men and women who worked tirelessly to promote library service before 1930. This new study will deepen our understanding of the people and processes that established the foundation for modern public library service in Ontario and Canada.
