Einstein:: The Life and Times

By: "Clark, Ronald W."

Price: $3.50

Publisher: Avon:

Seller ID: 9780380011599

ISBN: 038001159X

Binding: Trade Paperback

Condition: GOOD

Ronald W. Clark's definitive biography of Einstein, the Promethean figure of our age, goes behind the phenomenal intellect to reveal the human side of the legendary absent-minded professor who confidently claimed that space and time were not what they seemed.

Here is the classic portrait of the scientist and the man: the boy growing up in the Swiss Alps, the young man caught in an unhappy first marriage, the passionate pacifist who agonized over making The Bomb, the indifferent Zionist asked to head the Israeli state, the physicist who believed in God.

Fluid Signs: Being a Person the Tamil Way

By: "Daniel, E. Valentine"

Price: $7.00

Publisher: University of California Press:

Seller ID: 9780520061675

ISBN: 0520061675

Binding: Trade Paperback

Condition: GOOD

Fluid Signs is the product of anthropological fieldwork carried out among Tamil-speaking villagers in a Hindu village in Southern India. Combining a richness of ethnographic detail with a challenging and innovative theoretical analysis, Daniel argues that symbolic anthropologists have yet to appreciate the multifaceted function of the sign and its role in the creation of culture. This provocative study underscores the need for Western intellectual traditions in general and anthropology in particular to deepen its discourse with South Asian cultural and religious thought.
