Book Description
Beneath their perfect society hides an ugly truth Clockworld’s General Rules of Conduct—the very foundations of order—have kept its citizens productive, compliant, and radiantly healthy for generations. There is no room for imperfection: illness, age, injury are all dealt with the same way: Reprocessing. No one Reprocessed ever returns. His whole life, Technician Cory questioned Clockworld’s beliefs and practices, thoughts he usually kept to himself. But when his friend Owen is suddenly Reprocessed for a minor injury, Cory openly rebels against the Authority. He’s arrested and sentenced to three months of hard labor among Clockworld’s slave-class, the Grayshirts. Intellectuals, weeded out early as likely revolutionaries, the Grayshirts are separated from the rest of society. Here, though Cory’s lost the privileges of the exerciser class, he is unrestricted by the conventions of society and soon finds himself part of a secret revolution. With his new allies, Cory sets off to debunk Clockworld’s obscure rules and look for Owen. What they discover will shatter everything they know about Clockworld...and their own existence.

Book Description
The Great Valley has only known peace for millennia. The land is shared between four races: the humans, the winged helioses, the short but skilled enans, and the gigantic shikkans. But harmony is broken when strange rock monoliths start appearing all over the land, granting extraordinary powers to whoever touches them. The shikkans, though once willing to share it all, suddenly march to war in a bid to take control of all the regions where the monoliths have appeared. It seems nothing can prevent the fall of the remaining three races—until the teenage children of the helios king find an unusual connection with the monoliths. The king’s children, two helioses and two humans, begin to discover their role in a conflict that’s threatening to destroy the Great Valley, their world contained and surrounded by the everlasting barrier known as the Endless Wall.

Marx for Today
Author: Marcello Musto
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135700478
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Since the onset of global crisis in recent years, academics and economic theorists from various political and cultural backgrounds have been drawn to Marx's analysis of the inherent instability of capitalism. The rediscovery of Marx is based on his continuing capacity to explain the present. In the context of what some commentators have described as a "Marx renaissance", the aim of this book is to make a close study of Marx's principal writings in relation to the major problems of our own society, and to show why and how some of his theories constitute a precious tool for the understanding and critique of the world in the early twenty-first century. The book brings together varied reflections on the Marxian oeuvre, drawing on different perspectives and fields, and argues its case in two different parts. The first will encompass such diverse areas and themes as political thought, economics, nationalism, ethnicity, post-capitalist society, freedom, democracy, emancipation, and alienation, showing in each case how Marx has still today an invaluable contribution to make. The second presents a complete and rigorous account of the dissemination and the reception of Marx’s work throughout the world in the last decade. Both parts make a significant contribution to the current research on Marx and Marxisms. This book was originally published as a special issue of Socialism and Democracy.
