Summary

In "Beauty: Illustrated Chiefly by an Analysis and Classification of Beauty in Woman," Alexander Walker delves into the intricate interplay of aesthetics and societal perceptions of beauty. The text is notable for its pioneering approach to categorizing beauty, blending philosophical inquiry with vivid illustrations that enrich the narrative. Walker employs a meticulous analytical style that reflects the cultural context of the early 19th century, where beauty became a subject of scientific scrutiny and artistic fascination. His exploration navigates both the subjective and objective elements of beauty, seeking to establish a framework for understanding its significance in women's representation and cultural ideals. Alexander Walker, a Scottish author and advocate for the aesthetic arts, draws on his experiences and observations from a rapidly changing society. Influenced by the Romantic ideals of the time, Walker's work reflects a deep engagement with both art and science, as he seeks to unify these fields through the study of beauty. His commitment to exploring the aesthetic qualities of women is likely informed by his insights into societal norms, as well as a devotion to the artistic traditions that prioritize beauty in female form. "Beauty: Illustrated Chiefly by an Analysis and Classification of Beauty in Woman" is essential reading for those intrigued by the intersections of art, philosophy, and cultural studies. Walker's thorough examination not only informs our understanding of beauty but also invites readers to consider how these ideals shape and reflect societal values. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the evolution of aesthetic thought and the representation of women in art.

    An analysis that grounds the law in the personality, liberty, and property of the individual from “the most brilliant economic journalist who ever lived” (Joseph Schumpeter, twentieth-century political economist).  The law is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense; it is the substitution of collective for individual forces, for the purpose of acting in the sphere in which they have a right to act, of doing what they have a right to do, to secure persons, liberties, and properties, and to maintain each in its right, so as to cause justice to reign over all.   It is with these words that the nineteenth-century French economist and statesman Frédéric Bastiat describes his theory of the individual rights of man in a classic refutation of the communist ideas that were sweeping across France at the time. In these pages, Bastiat affirms that the non-intervention of the State in private affairs gives rise to our wants and their satisfactions developing in their natural order. Problems arise when the law leaves its proper sphere and is employed in annihilating that justice which it should have established. He describes the threat of socialism as “philanthropic tyranny,” the enemy to his revered principles of justice, peace, order, stability, harmony, and logic. In clear, concise prose, Bastiat reveals the dangers of government overreach, a philosophy that still inspires libertarian ideology today.

    “Canada’s best-known voice of dissent.” — CBC
    		 
    “It’s time we listened to the Maude Barlows of the world.” — CNN
    		 
    In this timely book, Barlow counters the prevailing atmosphere of pessimism that surrounds us and offers lessons of hope that she has learned from a lifetime of activism. She has been a linchpin in three major movements in her life: second-wave feminism, the battle against free trade and globalization, and the global fight for water justice. From each of these she draws her lessons of hope, emphasizing that effective activism is not really about the goal, rather it is about building a movement and finding like-minded people to carry the load with you. Barlow knows firsthand how hard fighting for change can be. But she also knows that change does happen and that hope is the essential ingredient.
