Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - How would you know if you were wrong Vienna, June 1919. A sixteen-year-old boy marches with the crowd that has an answer for everything. By afternoon, boys his age lie dead on the street-and the men with the answers are already explaining why it had to happen. He walks home with one question that will never let him go. It takes him to a packed concert hall where Einstein tells a starving city that a single measurement could destroy his life's work. To a burning courthouse and eighty-nine dead. To a university staircase where a gentle philosopher is shot by his own former student. To the far end of the earth, where an exile writes the book that gives the twentieth century a name for what it is fighting for: the open society. To a Cambridge room where Wittgenstein picks up a poker. And to Berkeley, where his most brilliant student stands at a window above the Free Speech Movement and finds the two words that will make him famous and end their friendship: anything goes. But the question was never only for other people. In the silence of a widower's house, the man who taught the world to doubt finally turns it on himself-and on the wife who paid for his certainties. A novel about Karl Popper-the philosopher who gave us the paradox of tolerance and the science of being proven wrong-written for an age in which the debate is always over, doubt is treason, and everyone already knows. In these pages he is never named. His first name is spoken once in the whole book, by the woman who loves him. It is about certainty, and what it costs. And about the one voice a free society cannot afford to lose: the one that keeps asking. For readers of Benjamín Labatut's When We Cease to Understand the World, Daniel Kehlmann's Measuring the World, and Irvin D. Yalom's When Nietzsche Wept. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - He sailed with Captain Cook. He sat with Benjamin Franklin. He taught Alexander von Humboldt how to see. None of it taught him how to live. Mainz, in the winter of 1792. The French hold the city, the Prussian army is behind the hills, and Georg Forster-thirty-eight, librarian, the most famous traveler in the German lands-sits behind curtained windows reading a book he wrote at twenty-two: three years with Cook, the ice at the bottom of the world, Tahiti, the stone giants of Easter Island. At seventeen he measured everything and wrote it all down. Now he reads what the boy refused to see-that describing the world is also a way of keeping out of it. Outside, the same question wears a different face. The French Revolution has crossed the Rhine, and a republic is being declared-the first on German soil. Fifteen years earlier, at Passy, an old man named Franklin had told him that America was fighting thirty years too soon; Forster believes in this republic more than he trusts it. To sign is to be called a traitor at every bridge over the Rhine. Not to sign is to have watched, once more, from the rail. His wife has taken the children to Strasbourg. His closest friend has gone with her. Paris is calling. He signs. What follows is the story of a man who was right too early-about empire, about slavery, about what a people may ask of those who rule them-and who paid in the one currency he had never learned to spend: himself. Within a year he is dead in Paris, thirty-nine years old, a traitor in his own country and a footnote in ours. His pupil, a twenty-year-old named Humboldt, would carry his way of seeing to the Americas and become the most celebrated scientist of the age. The teacher did not live to see it. A novel about a man who measured half the earth and never learned how to sit still and be loved. For readers of Measuring the World, The Signature of All Things, and The Invention of Nature: a literary novel of the Enlightenment, told in Forster's own voice and close to the surviving record-and where the record falls silent, as it might have been. Wherever the narrator quotes his own A Voyage Round the World (London, 1777), this edition gives Forster's English exactly as he printed it. With 51 period illustrations, a map of the voyage, an afterword on what is documented and what is invented, and a note by the author on translating his own book.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Three Europeans leave Tripoli in 1850. Five years later, only one of them returns. based on true eventsHeinrich Barth is twenty-nine: brilliant, difficult, and obsessed with getting things exactly right.A Hamburg scholar attached to a British expedition, he is heading south into a region the size of Europe that European maps leave almost blank. He carries twelve pencils, empty not Elektronisches Buch, and a second name.Abd el-Kerim.As a Christian, he may not survive the road.Over the next five years, Barth will nearly die of thirst and cut open his own vein to drink. He will barter with sewing needles where coins are worthless, be robbed, imprisoned in irons, and ride beside a slave-raiding army because it is the only way into a country he is determined to see.He writes down everything.Then, in 1853, he reaches Timbuktu-a city from which few Europeans have returned alive. For eight months, a Muslim scholar named Ahmad al-Bakkay protects him from men who want him dead, argues theology with him, and opens to him something Europe scarcely expects to find there: books.Chronicles.A written history centuries old.But this is not only the story of the man doing the exploring.A thousand miles to the south, Dorugu is twelve years old when horsemen ride out of the dust and destroy his village. He is taken, marched in a wooden yoke, sold three times, and given new names by the men who own him.Eventually, one of Barth's companions buys his freedom.Dorugu becomes a servant, a translator, a traveler-and a witness.Barth measures rivers, kingdoms, prices, languages and stars.Dorugu watches the men who believe they are discovering his world.Years later, the two will reach Europe together. There, Dorugu will be stared at in drawing rooms, questioned by a king, and measured with calipers by a professor.Asked what has surprised him most about Europe, he gives an answer no explorer would think to record.The stairs.And far to the east, another young scientist is riding toward a forbidden mountain-and a death Europe will spend seventeen years trying to understand.Based on the documentary record of one of the most extraordinary journeys of the nineteenth century, What the Desert Takes is historical fiction about exploration, slavery, survival, knowledge-and what happens when the people being observed begin to observe back.It is the story of a man who tried to measure the world.And of a boy who knew that world before anyone thought to put it on a map.One counts the stars.The other never needed to.Nearly all of this happened.Historical fiction - African exploration - survival adventure - based on true events.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Karl Popper changed the way we think about science, truth, and freedom. But his philosophy began with blood in a Vienna street.Vienna, 1919. Sixteen-year-old Karl Popper marches with young revolutionaries who believe they understand the laws of history. By afternoon, boys his age are lying dead in the street-and the men who sent them there are already explaining why their deaths were necessary.Popper walks home with a question that will haunt him for the rest of his life: How would I know if I were wrong?That question will help shape one of the twentieth century's most influential thinkers-the philosopher of falsifiability, The Open Society and Its Enemies, and the paradox of tolerance.It will carry him from the intellectual ferment of Vienna to exile in New Zealand and the great philosophical battles of postwar Europe. He watches Albert Einstein stake his theory on observations that might prove him wrong. He confronts the certainty of the Vienna Circle. In Cambridge, Ludwig Wittgenstein reaches for a fireplace poker. At the London School of Economics, Popper attracts a generation of brilliant disciples-including Paul Feyerabend and Imre Lakatos-who will eventually turn his own philosophy of criticism against him.Because there is one problem Popper never fully solves.He demands that every theory remain open to challenge. Every authority must be questioned. Every certainty must risk being wrong.But what happens when the authority is Karl Popper himself?Behind the public philosopher is Hennie Popper, his wife, first reader, fiercest private critic, and companion through more than half a century of exile, work, argument, and ambition. Only after her death does the question that shaped Popper's philosophy become painfully personal.How would I know if I were wrong?Based on the life, ideas, and documented events surrounding Karl Popper, The Man Who Could Be Wrong is a literary biographical novel about the birth of modern scientific skepticism, the defense of the open society, and the dangerous human hunger for certainty.It is also the story of a man who spent his life teaching the world how to question-and discovered that the hardest person to question is yourself.For readers of Benjamin Labatut's When We Cease to Understand the World and Daniel Kehlmann's Measuring the World.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Based on the extraordinary true story of Joseph Petrosino-the Italian immigrant who rose through the New York Police Department under Theodore Roosevelt and became the city's first Italian-born detective.They folded a man into a sugar barrel and left him on East Eleventh Street before dawn. Petrosino can look at the stitching on the dead man's shoes and tell you where he came from.New York, 1903.Joseph Petrosino crossed the Atlantic in steerage, one more Italian boy among thousands arriving in Lower Manhattan. Now he carries a badge-and many of the very people he is trying to protect call him a traitor for carrying it.Then the letters begin to arrive.A crude black hand. A demand for money.Pay, or your shop burns.Pay, or your child disappears.Pay-and perhaps nothing happens at all.Windows shatter on Elizabeth Street. Merchants surrender their savings. Enrico Caruso, the most famous tenor in the world, receives a Black Hand threat at the Metropolitan Opera. A landlord with sixteen families under his roof refuses to pay-and learns what refusal can cost.To most of New York, these are separate crimes.Petrosino sees the system.He recruits five Italian detectives and builds a squad unlike anything the city has seen before. They work the docks, saloons, tenements and back rooms of Little Italy. They pose as laborers and merchants, follow counterfeit money through respectable businesses, and collect the names witnesses are too frightened to speak aloud.Among those names are Giuseppe Morello and Ignazio Lupo-men who do not hide in alleys, but operate behind storefronts, import houses and polished brass plates.And the deeper Petrosino digs, the harder it becomes to tell where the organization ends.Police information reaches the street. Men he trusts begin keeping secrets. Threats arrive at his own home. Behind the extortion letters, counterfeit bills and disappearances, Petrosino begins to glimpse something larger: a criminal order held together not by written laws, but by family, debt, favors, fear-and silence.The trail crosses the Atlantic.In the winter of 1909, Petrosino sails for Sicily under a false name on a secret mission. Before he reaches Palermo, New York newspapers have already exposed it.There, records vanish. Officials become suddenly helpless. Strangers recognize him a second too quickly. And the trail leads toward Vito Cascio Ferro, a courteous Sicilian power broker whose police file remains remarkably thin.Petrosino knows his cover is gone.He knows someone is waiting for him.He goes to the meeting anyway.Before They Called It Mafia is an atmospheric historical crime novel rooted in documented events and populated by the real figures who stood at the birth of modern organized crime in America.A story of immigration and belonging, loyalty and betrayal, family and duty-and of a detective who recognized the shape of the Mafia before America fully understood what it was becoming.For readers of The Alienist, The Gods of Gotham, and The Given Day.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In 1850 three men walk south out of Tripoli. Five years later one of them comes back. Heinrich Barth is twenty-nine, a Hamburg scholar with a doctorate nobody wanted and a talent for being right. He joins a British mission to end the slave trade by treaty, and he goes for his own reasons: south of the last oasis lies a country the size of Europe about which Europe knows nothing exact, and exact is the only word he has ever loved. What follows is five years of walking. He is robbed at the wells, held in irons in Bagirmi, lost on a mountain the Tuareg ride around, where he opens a vein in his own arm and drinks. He buries both his companions. He rides with a slave-raiding army because it is the only road into the country he wants to see, and he writes down what it does. And in September 1853 he becomes the first European in a generation to walk into Timbuktu and live - protected for eight months by a scholar who argues theology with him, feeds him, and keeps a city from cutting his throat. A thousand miles south, a boy named Dorugu is minding guinea fowl when riders come out of the dust. He is taken, yoked, marched, sold at Zinder, sold again to Kukawa, and given a new name each time. He will be bought out of slavery by a German with shaking hands, and he will end up in a Berlin drawing room while a professor measures his skull with calipers, being asked by a king what has struck him most about Europe. He says: the stairs. Two men crossing in opposite directions, and a third - a young astronomer sent east because Europe assumed Barth was dead - riding toward a town where a story is still being told about a stranger who would eat nothing but eggs. Based on the documentary record of one of the great journeys of the nineteenth century, What the Desert Takes is a novel about knowledge and what it costs - told with the hard eye and the black comedy of T. C. Boyle's Water Music and the propulsion of Buddy Levy's survival narratives. Nearly all of this happened. This item is printed on demand.
