Originally published in 1990 as the manifesto Truth and Toleration, this new and expanded edition is an engaging introduction to the Objectivist movement, its core ideas, and its central fissures.

Never has one character of the stage provoked such controversy or achieved such infamy as Shakespeare’s enigmatic Shylock. For four centuries the money lender of "The Merchant of Venice" has been reinvented as both villain and victim, as an object of tragedy and comedy, and has been used as an economic symbol and often as a lightning rod for anti-Semitism. But what was Shakespeare’s attitude toward the character described on the play’s title page in 1600 as "a man of extreme crueltie", and what should be our own? With brilliant historical perspective and insight, theater crit

The growing awareness of the environmental movement of the 1960 and 1970 decades, along with the enactment of the Wilderness Act, precipitated local, regional, and national joint actions of the many outdoor recreation organizations. Wilderness enactments resulted from some of the more successful citizen attempts, and more are pending. The onrush of man’s capability to ’tame the wilderness’ continues to accelerate with the population growth and the need for some restraints has become increasingly evident. This book shows what happened in a magical part of the American Southwes

The Legacy of Freudenthal pays homage to Freudenthal and his work on mathematics, its history and education. Almost all authors were his scholars or co-workers. They testify to what they learned from him. Freudenthal himself contributes posthumously. His didactical phenomenology of the concept of force is both provocative and revealing in its originality, compared with what is usually found in physics instruction. Freudenthal is portrayed as a universal human being by Josette Adda. He made considerable contributions to mathematics itself, e.g. on homotopy theory and Lie groups in geo
