Climate Justice
The social cost of carbon: The most important number you've never heard of and what it means. If you're injuring someone, you should stop and pay for the damage you've caused. Why, this book asks, does this simple proposition, generally accepted, not apply to climate change? In Climate Justice, a bracing challenge to status-quo thinking on the ethics of climate change, renowned author and legal scholar Cass Sunstein clearly frames what s at stake and lays out the moral imperative: When it comes to climate change, everyone must be counted equally, regardless of when they live or where they live which means that wealthy nations, which have disproportionately benefited from greenhouse gas emissions, are obliged to help future generations and people in poor nations that are particularly vulnerable. Invoking principles of corrective justice and distributive justice, Sunstein argues that rich countries should pay for the harms that they have caused and that all of us are obliged to take steps to protect future generations from serious climate-related damage. He shows how 'choice engines,' informed by artificial intelligence, can enable people to save money and to reduce the harms they produce. The book casts new light on the 'social cost of carbon,' the most important number in climate change debates and explains how intergenerational neutrality and international neutrality can help all nations, above all the United States and China, do what must be done.
The Beast - Wicked Villains 4
Once upon a time, I fell in love with two men. Gaeton, with his brash charm and casual cruelty. Beast, his lust equal to his penchant for violence.
Their feelings for me were matched only by their hatred for each other. Being with them was sinful and perfect in different ways. In the end, I couldn’t choose, and I lost them both.
Now, my sisters have tasked me with securing our power base, no matter the cost. I will do anything for my family—even if it means agreeing to the terms set by Gaeton and Beast. The three of us.
Together. But only for as long as it takes me to choose one of them once and for all. When playing games of power, happily ever after isn’t a priority.
Not even for me. Especially not for me.

The ransom demand? Hand over an 800-year-old book, the Codex Gigas, the largest illuminated medieval manuscript in the world.

Now the Czech Republic wants the codex back, and Sweden has agreed to return it, but forces are at work to stop that deal from happening. The likely instigator? Russia. Who is also top of the list for possible kidnappers. It's up to Cotton and Cassiopeia Vitt to locate the king's sister, secure the codex, and thwart the Russians. Yet nothing is as it seems.

The Problem of Personhood
Over the last twenty-five years, the concept of personhood has become essential-to debates about providing corporations human privileges, limiting access to abortion, giving algorithms free speech protections, releasing elephants from zoos, and permitting trees the standing to sue. The Personhood Problem reveals the unsettling connections between these imagined persons and their sought-after rights, in a bracing and nuanced examination of the versions of personhood proliferating today. Synthesizing the political and philosophical debates on personhood, the book uncovers the unexpected, disturbing, and dangerous alignments between them.
Telling the true and engaging story of the oldest version of "fictional" personhood-the corporate one-this book helps us rethink that history and its use, or threat, to us now.
Selected Papers of Coomaraswamy, Volume 2
A collection of important essays by a pioneering interpreter of Indian art, philosophy, and mythology“Brilliant.”—Joseph Campbell, author of The Hero with a Thousand FacesAnanda K. Coomaraswamy (1877–1947) was a pioneer in the study of Indian art, philosophy, and mythology—and in the cultural meeting of East and West. A scholar in the tradition of the great Indian grammarians and philosophers, an art historian convinced that the ultimate value of art transcends history, and a social thinker influenced by William Morris, Coomaraswamy was a unique figure whose works provide virtually a complete education in themselves. Finding a universal tradition in past cultures ranging from the Hellenic and Christian to the Indian, Islamic, and Chinese, he presented his ideas about the symbols of ancient wisdom in numerous essays. This volume includes a selection of his essays on metaphysics that were written in the 1930s and 1940s, when he was at the height of his powers.

The houses of Mellon and her husband Paul have become icons in the field of interior decoration, filled with fine antiques, blue-chip works of art (with an occasional Van Gogh, Cezanne, or Degas left unframed and propped on a mantel or against the back of a chair), comfortably upholstered furniture, and collections of dishes and bibelots all displayed in Mellon s inimitably sophisticated and charming way. Campbell was employed by Mellon in 1970 for six years, after her college graduation, to document in paint several Mellon residences presented here as a group for the first time. This book the culmination of an unfinished project that Mellon was organizing in her later years presents Campbell s paintings capturing the colors, light, and ambiance of rooms and gardens, as well as intricate patterns and details of furnishings in rooms arranged with help from renowned decorators John Fowler and Bruce Budd. Three residences in New York City, Washington, DC, and Upperville, Virginia are the focus, with texts by society chronicler James Reginato describing Mellon s decorating style and how she used each property for escape or as a backdrop for her and her husband s hospitality. Opening the doors to a life of superb taste and connoisseurship, this volume is an homage to the outstanding interiors of a renowned couple and the extraordinary work of a young artist.
