A book about sword and bayonet makers of Imperial Germany 1914-1918

I shut the door to the old Buick, shouldered the sail bag, and turned towards the harbor. I was eleven years old, dressed in my blue denims, hat, jacket, and pants to match. The tide was in, and the day was clear, and already a slight breeze was stirring...plenty for my little boat. How I treasured those days of sailing by myself on the south San Francisco Bay. My little twelve-foot sailboat would take me away physically and mentally to another place and perhaps another time. Already visions of some voyage only partially conceived were forming in my mind. The dream never left me-46 years, six ever bigger boats later-and Judy and I were sailing out the Golden Gate and "turning left" for warmer climates. A favorite cruiser's saying comes to mind: "Plans are made in jello"-meaning that they are constantly changing. This is a story of that voyage...not so special as many have done the same and more...but this was our voyage and the experience of our lifetime. Although the route and places have been done thousands of times before by thousands of different cruisers, I have found that no two cruises are ever identical. Our experiences will never be duplicated in exactly the same way...and hence, that is why I do not hesitate to write about it.

The World as Will and Idea - Vol. III.

This text contains the third volume of the seminal treatise by the famous German philosopher Schopenhauer on the topic of Will. Starting where Kant left off, Schopenhauer proposes a new definition of the word ‘will’, making it a thing unto itself. Where other German philosophers are incomprehensible and obscure, Schopenhauer is clear and concise, detailing within this fascinating book the dualities of reason and emotion with a genius and originality still arguably unsurpassed in the universities of today. This marvellous exposition of metaphysics, aesthetics and ethics will prove a fascinating and informative read to anyone interested in the subject. This scarce classic has been elected for republication because of its literary and educational value, proudly republished here with a new introductory biography of the author.

This vintage book contains the third volume of Arthur Schopenhauer’s 1818 treatise, "The World As Will And Idea". One of the most influential philosophical works of the nineteenth century, it is Schopenhauer’s greatest endeavour, and constitutes the summation of a lifetime of contemplation. In it, he postulates that our existence is fuelled by an unsatisfied will, perpetually searching for satisfaction. This fascinating book is highly recommended for students of psychology, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) was a seminal German philosopher. Many antiquarian texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
