| Yvonne Sherratt | ||||
| Cambridge University Press 2006 241 pages | ||||
| Paperback 0521670985 | ||||
| Published Price £15.99 | Our Price £7.99 | |||
| In this study, Sherratt argues that continental philosophy of social science is 'a distinguished and autonomous strand of thought', quite distinct from the Anglo-American corpus and defined in part by its connection to the ancient past. She examines the the work of thinkers such as Gadamer, Ricoeur, Derrida, Nietzsche, Foucault, the Early Franfurt School and Habermas and traces their ideas back to ancient Greece and Rome, medieval Christian thought, the Enlightenment and Romanticism.

The History of Freemasonry | |||
| Its Legendary Origins | Social Studies | |||
| Albert Gallatin Mackey | ||||
| Gramercy 1996 453 pages | ||||
| Hardback 0517149826 | ||||
| Published Price $19.99 | Our Price £7.99 | |||
| The origins of Freemasonry are truly lost in the mists of time, so the purpose of this history was not to marshal dates and deeds, but to present a complete survey of the mythical and allegorical narratives of Freemasonry. Investigating ancient mysteries, stories of the Crusades, the Scottish Templars or the Astrologers, and topics such as the Rosicrucians and Pythagoreans, Albert Mackey (1807-1881) showed how the legends contain the germs of historical truth, mingled with symbolism, and reflecting the philosophic ideals of the Order. | ||||

Dead Cities | |||
| And Other Tales | Social Studies | |||
| Mike Davis | ||||
| New Press 2002 432 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 1565847652 | ||||
| Published Price £17.99 | Our Price £5.99 | |||
| In his most provocative writing yet, the radical urban theorist Mike Davis explores the combat zone that is contemporary urban America, the site of a perpetual battle waged within cities and against nature. Davis examines themes of urban life today - white flight, housing and job segregation and discrimination - and looks at areas he calls "national sacrifice zones", military landscapes that simulated warfare and arms production have rendered uninhabitable. | ||||
