Chuang Tzu is a delightful, entertaining author, both philosophically and stylistically. reading him is like conversing with a bright, funny, irreverent, and challenging friend. Where Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching can be detached and cerebral, Chuang Tzu’s writing is always lively and imbued with an earthy humor. Rather than lecturing or preaching at the reader, he imparts his wisdom through comedic parables, charmingly absurd logic and deliberately outlandish language.Chuang Tzu is one of those rare thnkers who can work with equal ease in both the realm of intellectual abstractions an

Under the Third Reich, Nazi Germany undertook an unprecedented effort to refashion the city of ?ód?. Home to prewar Poland’s second most populous Jewish community, this was to become a German city of enchantment—a modern, clean, and orderly showcase of urban planning and the arts. Central to the undertaking, however, was a crime of unparalleled dimension: the ghettoization, exploitation, and ultimate annihilation of the city’s entire Jewish population. Ghettostadt is the terrifying examination of the Jewish ghetto’s place in the Nazi worldview. Exploring ghetto life in i

In a remarkable book based on prodigious research, Morton J. Horwitz offers a sweeping overview of the emergence of a national (and modern) legal system from English and colonial antecedents. He treats the evolution of the common law as intellectual history and also demonstrates how the shifting views of private law became a dynamic element in the economic growth of the United States. Horwitz’s subtle and sophisticated explanation of societal change begins with the common law, which was intended to provide justice for all. The great breakpoint came after 1790 when the law was slowly tr

In the constantly evolving hedge fund marketplace, nothing is more central—but in many ways, more amorphous and elusive—than risk. Yet there remains no standard for analyzing and measuring risk within this highly secretive, largely unregulated field, leaving the thousands of hedge funds—and the tens of thousands of hedge fund investors—in dangerously dim light. The industry has not solved the "transparency" challenge—communicating risk to investors without disclosing proprietary information. Hedge Fund Risk Fundamentals is the first book to bring these issues to the fo
