Hardcover. Condición: As New. ## "TRUTH: A History and Guide for the Perplexed" by Felipe Fernández-Armesto: Unraveling the Tapestry of Human Understanding 1997 ### 7 ## THIS BOOk: Classified: AS NEW, it is the 1997 Edition. The book was first published in 1997 by the Bantam Press. It has a full-coloured, laminated cover, matte finish, and tight spine. For the rear dust jacket, for some reason, someone has taken the top 5cm out, which would have the author's photo.### We provide images of all our books and maps so you know what you buy. READ ON for more information and details. ## ## Introduction: In the labyrinth of human existence, truth has been both a guiding light and a shadowy enigma. Felipe Fernández-Armesto, an esteemed Oxford historian, embarks on an intellectual odyssey in his thought-provoking work, "TRUTH: A History and Guide for the Perplexed." This book transcends time and space, weaving together inquiry, scepticism, and revelation threads.## ## The Quest for Truth: Fernández-Armesto's canvas spans epochs, civilisations, and disciplines. His exploration of truth is not confined to mere facts; it encompasses the very essence of our shared humanity. Here are some key themes he delves into:## 1. Truth-Telling Technologies: Humans have devised ingenious ways to convey truth from ancient oral traditions to the digital age. The quill, the printing press, and the internet?all have shaped our understanding of reality. # 2. The God in the Saddle: Religion and truth have danced a complex tango throughout history. Fernández-Armesto examines how divine revelations, scriptures, and religious institutions have influenced our perception of reality. # 3. The Cage of Wild Birds: Philosophers, scientists, and artists have grappled with the boundaries of truth. Fernández-Armesto invites us into their minds, where reason, intuition, and creativity intersect. # 4. The Dream of the Butterfly: Reality itself can be elusive. Are we dreaming, or is the world dreaming us? The author navigates through metaphysical mazes, challenging our assumptions. # 5. The Death of Conviction: Certainty often crumbles in the face of doubt. Fernández-Armesto explores moments when truth collapses, leaving us adrift in uncertainty.## ## Whimsical Touches and Lucidity: Fernández-Armesto's prose dances between erudition and accessibility. He doesn't shy away from complexity, yet his writing remains approachable. Whimsical touches?a dash of wit here, a historical anecdote?keep readers engaged. His exploration of truth is a beacon of clarity, illuminating the obscurity of centuries.## ## Legacy and Influence: This book isn't a mere chronicle; it's an invitation to introspection. As we grapple with post-modernism, epistemology, and the shifting sands of truth, Fernández-Armesto's insights resonate. His multidisciplinary approach bridges gaps between anthropology, history, and philosophy. ## Conclusion: "TRUTH: A History and Guide for the Perplexed" is more than a book; it's a compass for the curious. Whether you seek the facts about truth or yearn for philosophical musings, this volume awaits your exploration. As you turn its pages, remember that truth, like the butterfly, flutters beyond our grasp?but the pursuit is what defines us.## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. ### THE DA VINCI CODE. by Don Brown 2003 ### ## THIS BOOK: Classified as VERY GOOD: This is the 2003 edition. The book was published originally in 2003, and The cover is in full colour, glossy and has a raised title. The page edges are discoloured due to paper quality. ## Harvard professor Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call while on business in Paris: the elderly curator of the Louvre, Jacques Sauniére, has been brutally murdered inside the museum. Alongside the body, police have found a series of baffling codes. As Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, begin to sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Leonardo Da 'Vinci and suggests the answer to a mystery that stretches deep into the vault of history. ## ## Langdon suspects the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion ? a centuries-old secret society ? and has sacrificed his life to protect the Priory's most sacred trust: the location of a vastly important religious relic hidden for centuries. But it now appears that Opus Dei, a clandestine sect that has long plotted to seize the Priory's secret, has made its move. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the puzzle pieces, the Priory's secret ? and a devastating historical truth ? will be lost forever. ## ## Breaking the mould of traditional suspense novels, The Da Vinci Code is simultaneously lightning-paced, intelligent and intricately layered with remarkable research and detail. From the opening pages to the unpredictable and stunning conclusion, Dan Brown proves himself a master storyteller. ## #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut SG - leichte Beschädigungen, Verschmutzungen, ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, Versand Büchersendung - For the second time in his short life, Teddy Clock has survived a massacre. Two years ago, he barely escaped when his entire family was slaughtered. Now, at fourteen, in a hideous echo of the past, Teddy is the lone survivor of his foster family's mass murder. Orphaned once more, the traumatized teenager has nowhere to turn - until the Boston PD puts detective Jane Rizzoli on the case. But no sooner does her investigation begin than Teddy's life almost ends . again. Suddenly, what seemed like a grisly coincidence is unmasked as the mission of a relentless killer. Jane spirits Teddy to the exclusive Evensong boarding school, a sanctuary where young victims of violent crime learn the secrets and skills of survival in a dangerous world. But even behind locked gates, and surrounded by acres of sheltering Maine wilderness, Jane fears that Evensong's mysterious benefactors aren't the only ones watching. When strange blood-splattered dolls are found dangling from a tree, Jane knows that her instincts are dead on. And when she meets Will Kennedy and Claire Ward, students whose tragic pasts bear a shocking resemblance to Teddy's, it becomes chillingly clear that a circling predator has more than one victim in mind. Joining forces with her trusted partner, medical examiner Maura Isles, Jane is determined to keep these orphans safe from harm. But an unspeakable secret dooms the children's fate - unless Jane and Maura can finally put an end to an obsessed killer's twisted quest.
