She addressed some of the most difficult and contentious issues of modern times and bestowed upon the modern world her original thought and unrelenting optimism. She insisted that freedom and autonomy, indispensable for human existence itself, are only attainable within an authentic political life. The years since Hannah Arendt's death have seen an intensification of interest in her both as a thinker and as figure of her times. This interdisciplinary collection of superbly crafted essays, by both young and established scholars, offers a series of engagements with Arendt at 'eye-level' in a series of debates, conversations or arguments across the full range of her major intellectual interests. It seeks, in a way that no other account has attempted, to outline and investigate the unity of Arendt's life and work. This is a powerful book that allows the reader to reassemble the various facets of Arendt's writing and personality into one rich mosaic of ideas and issues.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49551628140817,"sku":"GOR012091075","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0049201093.jpg?v=1751099805"},{"product_id":"contemporary-western-european-feminism-book-gisela-t-kaplan-9781857280036","title":"Contemporary Western European Feminism","description":"This book examines the events in the feminist movement in Western Europe over the past 20 years. It invites critical analysis of terms, ideas and assumptions about the modern world, and helps the reader to recognize fundamental traits of the social contexts which give rise to social movements.

By mapping the postwar history of each country and thereby providing a context for the women's movements, the author documents a significant chapter of European social history. The book also tackles some of the most important contradictions of our contemporary world, such a those between the welfare state and a free-market economy, industrialization and religious value systems, social engineering and wealth production, and dissent and patrimonial systems of democracy.

In this eye-opening book, two experts on animal communication paint a compassionate picture of the species of great apes that behaves most like us. Blending the work of other scientists with their own extensive research in orangutan behavior, Kaplan and Rogers give rare insight into the lives, and the plight, of these peaceful, intelligent creatures. They provide an amazing account of orangutan behaviors, from their remarkable mothering skills to their ways of communication. Interspersed throughout are charming tales of some of the orangutans the authors have met and befriended. The authors also discuss the uncertain fate of  these gentle forest dwellers, whose jungle habitat is visibly dwindling day by day. Illustrated throughout, The Orangutans is the first book to focus entirely on these remarkable primates and their relationship to humans in the evolutionary tree.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51396670226705,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51396670259473,"sku":"GOR004703048","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0738202908.jpg?v=1750701140"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-gisela-t-kaplan.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
