Edmund Burke: Konservatismens Profet
Hysteriker med forfølgelsesvanvid, reaktionær parlamentariker eller profetisk intellektuel? Edmund Burke var en ledende politisk tænker i 1700-tallet og regnes for konservatismens fader. Men Burkes værk er modsætningsfyldt og svært at forstå - og han bruges og citeres ofte upræcist. I Edmund Burke. Konservatismens profet tager professor Claus Bryld livtag med Burkes komplekse forfatterskab for at forstå, hvordan Burke kunne tordne imod demokrati og rationalisme, men samtidig tale for religiøs tolerance og bekymre sig for minoriteter. Burke præsenteres i lyset af sin egen brydningsfulde samtid, og centralt i bogen står hans voldsomme opgør med den franske revolution og den efterfølgende epokegørende debat om menneskerettighederne, som han førte med Thomas Paine. Siden 1950'erne har Burke oplevet en renæssance, og analysen trækkes derfor op til i dag, hvor Burkes filosofi er blevet brugt til at legitimere vidt forskellige politiske holdninger, fra Margaret Thatcher til Tony Blair.

View from the Summit: The Remarkable Memoir by the First Person to Conquer Everest
THE EXTRAORDINARY LIFE STORY OF AN ORDINARY MAN WHO BECAME THE CENTURY'S MOST IMPORTANT EXPLORER Adventurers the world over have been inspired by the achievements of Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man ever to set foot on the summit of Mount Everest. In this candid, wry, and vastly entertaining autobiography, Hillary looks back on that 1953 landmark expedition, as well as his remarkable explorations in other exotic locales, from the South Pole to the Ganges. View From The Summit is the compelling life story of a New Zealand country boy who daydreamed of wild adventures; the pioneering climber who was knighted by Queen Elizabeth after scaling the world's tallest peak; and the elder statesman and unlikely diplomat whose groundbreaking program of aid to Nepal continues to this day, paying his debt of worldwide fame to the Himalayan region. More than four decades after Hillary looked down from Everest's 29,000 feet, his impact is still felt -- in our fascination with the perils and triumphs
