Whoppers History's Most Outrageous Lies and Liars

Whoppers History's Most Outrageous Lies and Liars
Christine Seifert, "Whoppers: History's Most Outrageous Lies and Liars"
English | ISBN: 1936976986 | 2015 | 224 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
History of full of liars. Not just little-white-telling liars, but big-honkin', whopper-telling liars―people who can convince us that even the most improbable, outrageous, nonsensical stories are true. And the worst part is that we'll believe it. Whoppers tells the story of history's greatest liars and the lies they told, providing a mix of narrative profiles of super-famous liars, lies, and/or hoaxes, as well as more obscure episodes. Famous liars include people you might have learned about in school, like P. T. Barnum, who basically made a living lying to people for money; liars you might never have heard of before, like Victor Lustig, who managed to "sell" the Eiffel Tower twice in the 1920s; and hoaxes like the Loch Ness Monster Photo Hoax. The book will also include illustrations, sidebars, and infographics.

Ulrich Baer, "What Snowflakes Get Right: Free Speech, Truth, and Equality on Campus"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 0190054190 | PDF | pages: 217 | 1.3 mb
Angry debates about polarizing speakers have roiled college campuses. Conservatives accuse universities of muzzling unpopular opinions, betraying their values of open inquiry; students sympathetic to the left openly advocate against completely unregulated speech, asking for "safe spaces" and protection against visiting speakers and even curricula they feel disrespects them. Some even call these students "snowflakes"-too fragile to be exposed to opinions and ideas that challenge their worldviews. How might universities resolve these debates about free speech, which pit their students' welfare against the university's commitment to free inquiry and open debate?

Virginia Woolf and Music

Virginia Woolf and Music
Adriana L. Varga, Sanja Bahun, Elicia Clements, "Virginia Woolf and Music"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 0253012554, 0253012465 | PDF | pages: 348 | 2.4 mb
These essays explore music and its relationship to language, aesthetics, and culture in the life and work of the preeminent Modernist writer Virginia Woolf (Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando, A Room of One's Own, and other works). Approaching Woolf from musicology, literary criticism, and gender studies, the collection examines her musical background; music in her fiction and critical writings; and the importance of music in the Bloomsbury milieu and its role within the larger framework of Modernism. Making use of Woolf's diaries, letters, fiction, and the testimony of her contemporaries, these essays illuminate the rich and deeply musical nature of Woolf's works.
