Bringing It All Back Home

<p>Bringing It All Back Home uses the intimate arena of the household as the unique setting for a groundbreaking study of the relationships between class, gender and power today. The authors - and the feminist scholars who offered responses to their critique - integrate the rich traditions of Marxism and feminism, and more recent developments in Marxian theory and Lacanian psychoanalysis, to theorise a new approach to the contemporary crisis of the family.</p>

Social Sciences

Winfried Wolf examines current policies on transport in Europe and North America and assesses the future for road and rail systems in the West. He analyses the social costs of our current transport system in the context of health, disintegration of lifestyle and ecology. Through a detailed comparison of the costs of passenger and goods transport – both road and rail – he demonstrates how the forces behind the relentless drive to increase motorization are rooted in the requirements of the market and multinational concerns, rather than in human need or social development. Wolf makes a penetrating examination of some of Europe's major transport projects, such as Eurotunnel, high-speed trains, Alpine tunnels, and Scandinavian bridge and tunnel links, as well as rail privatization. He also examines the ecological and social consequences of mass motorization in the developing world, the former-Soviet bloc and China, and considers alternatives to present transport structures.

<p>In a potent act of myth busting, Noam Chomsky draws controversial parallels between the presidencies of JFK and Ronald Reagan. With a particular focus on the Vietnam War, Chomsky brinks to light damning evidence of Kennedy's involvement in the worst excesses of American politics. For anyone persuaded that changing the world is simply a question of changing its leaders this book will act both as a bitter pill and a powerful stimulus to action.</p>

Originally intended as a postscript to Turning the Tide, Chomskys survey explores the Reagan administrations program of vicious atrocities in Central America and the moral and intellectual culture condoning it.

Chomsky, Institute Professor & Professor of Linguistics (Emeritus) Noam

In the late 1980s, in the midst of Reagan's interventions in Central America, Chomsky travelled to Nicaragua and gave the lectures that became On Power and Ideology. *BR**BR*The lectures provide a master class in foreign policy analysis from an intellectual at the height of his powers, covering everything from the US domestic basis of its overseas actions, to the pernicious concept of 'National Security' and its destabilising effect, to the broad framework of global imperial order which the United States seeks to maintain. A defining moment in the Cold War meets a defining moment in the career of one of its most important critics.
