Robert Taylor Air Combat Paintings-Vol.1-4 All volumes are still available through several aviation art dealers. ( NW Aviation Art/Leisure Galleries) I do not know why Amazon lists many of these as out of print.They are NOT! The new Volume 4 is out as of Sept. 2000. Wish Amazon stocked them all.
The Master's Work
Ultra-realistic, Historically Correct, Aviation Art His attentionto detail is superb and the paintings are centered around a certain pilotor group of pilots during W.W.II.Many of his paintings are signed by thepilot or pilots portraided in the paintings. Most are paintings of aircraftthat are close to the ground, like returning flights of planes gettingready to land or takeoff in a historical setting. The book gives blownup details of parts of the paintings and examines historical details notreadily noticeable in the overall paintings. Taylor spends time telling thestory, how he painted the scenes, and the research required for eachpainting. The price is a little steep, but well worth the purchase if youare a aviation collector, especially if you don't have the money to collectthe real thing. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Four well-known commentators on religion and society, two Protestant, two Catholic, were invited to respond to Taylor's lecture: William M. Shea, George Marsden, Jean Bethke Elshtain, and Rosemary Luling-Haughton. Their chapters offer a variety of astute reflections on the tensions between religion and modernity, and in particular on the role that Catholicism can and should play in contemporary society. The volume concludes with Taylor's perceptive and thoughtful response to his interlocutors. A Catholic Modernity provides one of the most thoughtful conversations to date about the place of the Catholic Church in the modern world, and more generally, about the role of religion in democratic liberal societies.

Editorial Review Product Description The core chapters take up Taylor's approaches to moral theory, selfhood, political theory, and epistemology. Alone, these chapters constitute a solid introduction to Charles Taylor. However, the author also offers a great deal to those interested in pursuing the links across his positions, defining Taylor in terms of both his political engagement and his particular form of anti-foundationalism. In addition, she engages with some of the secondary literature to correct common misreadings of Taylor's writings. Abbey concludes by outlining Taylor's most recent reflections on what it means to live in a secular age and pointing to likely future directions of his work. This book makes accessible one of the most read and discussed philosophers of our day. It will serve as an ideal companion to Taylor's own writings for students of philosophy and political theory. And it will be welcomed as well by the nonspecialist seeking an authoritative guide to Taylor's large, disparate body of work. Abbey's short survey of Taylor is particularly notable because his work spans a breadth that includes science, ethics, politics, history, language, epistemology, and art. Her approach is carefully accurate, eschewing reductionism just as Taylor himself "refuses the temptation to reduce complexity to single principles." She successfully addresses herself to a thinker whose multifaceted thought often defies simple category divisions. Taylor is one of the most fascinating and articulate voices on today's philosophical scene, and Abbey has provided us with a useful field guide to his work. Her book represents a valuable companion to Taylor's philosophy, as well as a thoughtful articulation in its own right. --Eric de Place Customer Reviews (2)

Editorial Review Product Description The language of self-fulfillment, self-realization, and self-actualization (in short, 'authenticity') has become common in contemporary culture. The desire to be 'authentic' is implicitly a desire to shape one's self in accordance with an ideal, and the concern for what it means to be authentic is, in many ways, the modern form of the ancient question "what is the life of excellence?" However, this notion of authenticity has its critics, Christopher Lasch, for instance, who equates it with a form of narcissism and Theodor Adorno who views it as a glorification of privatism. Brian J. Braman argues that, despite criticisms, it is possible to speak about human authenticity as something that addresses contemporary concerns as well as the ancient preoccupation with the nature of the good life. He refers to the theories of Bernard Lonergan and Charles Taylor, thinkers who placed a high value on the search for human authenticity. Lonergan discusses authenticity in terms of a three-fold conversion with intellectual, moral, and religious implications while Taylor views it as a rich, vibrant, and important addition to conversations about what it means to be human. Meaning and Authenticity presents an engaging dialogue between two thinkers, both of whom maintain that there is a normative conception of authentic human life that overcomes moral relativism, narcissism, privatism, and the collapse of the public self.

Editorial Review Product Description In this book, Anne-Marie Taylor challenges that longstanding view, offering in its stead the portrait of a man animated more by principle than by impulse or ambition. According to Taylor, Sumner's reform-minded politics, including his fervent commitment to put an end to slavery, must be understood in the context of a young nation still struggling to live up to the Enlightenment ideals embraced by its founders and embodied in its Constitution. Focusing on the first forty years of Sumner's life, before he took public office, Taylor traces the evolution of his character and thought among Boston's cultural elite. His belief in the virtues of cosmopolitanism, in the dignity of the human intellect and conscience, and in the possibility of a cultivated and just society, all find their roots in an education steeped in Enlightenment principles. At the same time, as a child of New England Puritanism and Revolutionary republicanism, Sumner was raised to believe in the moral obligation of the individual to work for the common good. As Taylor shows in this well-written biography, much of the triumph and tra-gedy of Sumner's story-the energy of his idealism as well as the poignancy of his eventual disappointment-derives from the overpowering sense of duty and na-tional destiny imbued by his upbringing. |

Great, but subdued Cold-War era sub thriller In this case, the Soviets close off the arctic waters off Norway, turning it into a Russians bathtub.The yanks strike back with the "Imperator", a gigantic submarine the size of an aircraft carrier (and I don't think they meant the small fleet carriers of WWII, frequent models for the soviet Typhoon class).Big enough to carry a fairly sized infranty team and their attack helicopter, the Imperator is designed to break through the Russian blockade.The Russians respond by sending in their top submarine skipper, and a wolfpack of their top subs (the inner cover of the paperback ed. had a great picture of a raging sub-sea battle, with the titanic US sub firing torpedoes in every direction, burning the ocean with flaming Soviet submarines).Nevertheless, the Imperator pretty much outclasses anything the Russians throw at it.A revolutionary computer called "Ceasar" can knock Bear bombers out of the sky or pick off incoming torpedoes. This was a great book for its time.The technological aspects of the story are pretty vague (we get little sense of what the sub can do before called upon to do it; it's like the author is making the sub a more powerful ship as the story progresses), and I'm not sure what the point is of sending a mammoth sub to carrya few troops into Norway - how big can the sub be and still carry a meanigful number of troops?The bigger problem of the story is how heavily it relies on its high-tech: the guidance of torpedoes and the nearly foolproof computer that runs Imperator.This is a problem because much of the book's action is driven by weaponry on automatic and thus independent of human control.Torpedoes are launched and track their targets or are spoofed by countermeaures.Ceasar detects a threat and lashed out with a blue-laser or something else.Weapons either do what they're designed to, or they fail.It's almost like the humans (or any characters) don't belong in the book at all. That's actually odd considering how the story appears unusually sympathetic to its characters - American and Russian.The Russian submarine commander is actually the most sympathetic in the book, otherwise bereft of the fiercely dogmatic communists of similar late 1980's books.The characters would be great if Taylor could somehow make them both deep characters and warriors.Instead, the war runs on autopilot, giving the characters really little to do. If "Hunter" excels at anything, it's a reminder that thrillers about submarines should keep their settings in their submarines.Because submarines are scary mostly because you can't just step out of one, an authentic thriller must highlight that sense of being trapped inside."Hunter" highlights this by keeping its settings confined to the submarines involved - and not losing its focus by tangenting back to some Pentagon situation room, complete with inter-service rivalry and liberal politicians.In short, if nothing in this yarn will exactly grab you, it at least holds you for a very long time. ...
