| "Aftermath : Violence and the Remaking of a Self" |
| "On July 4 1990 while on a morning walk in southern France Susan Brison was attacked from behind severely beaten sexually assaulted strangled to unconsciousness and left for dead She survived but her world was destroyed Her training as a philosopher could not help her make sense of things and many of her fundamental assumptions about the nature of the self and the world it inhabits were shattered At once a personal narrative of recovery and a philosophical exploration of trauma this book examines the undoing and remaking of a self in the aftermath of violence It explores from an interdisciplinary perspective memory and truth identity and self autonomy and community It offers imaginative access to the experience of a rape survivor as well as a reflective critique of a society in which women routinely fear and suffer sexual violence As Brison observes trauma disrupts memory severs past from present and incapacitates the ability to envision a future Yet the act of bearing witness she argues facilitates recovery by integrating the experience into the survivor's life's story She also argues for the importance as well as the hazards of using first-person narratives in understanding not only trauma but also larger philosophical questions about what we can know and how we should live Bravely and beautifully written Aftermath is that rare book that is an illustration of its own arguments"

| "Asset Pricing" |
| "Winner of the prestigious Paul A Samuelson Award for scholarly writing on lifelong financial security John Cochrane's Asset Pricing now appears in a revised edition that unifies and brings the science of asset pricing up to date for advanced students and professionals Cochrane traces the pricing of all assets back to a single idea--price equals expected discounted payoff--that captures the macro-economic risks underlying each security's value By using a single stochastic discount factor rather than a separate set of tricks for each asset class Cochrane builds a unified account of modern asset pricing He presents applications to stocks bonds and options Each model--consumption based CAPM multifactor term structure and option pricing--is derived as a different specification of the discounted factor The discount factor framework also leads to a state-space geometry for mean-variance frontiers and asset pricing models It puts payoffs in different states of nature on the axes rather than mean and variance of return leading to a new and conveniently linear geometrical representation of asset pricing ideas Cochrane approaches empirical work with the Generalized Method of Moments which studies sample average prices and discounted payoffs to determine whether price does equal expected discounted payoff He translates between the discount factor GMM and state-space language and the beta mean-variance and regression language common in empirical work and earlier theory The book also includes a review of recent empirical work on return predictability value and other puzzles in the cross section and equity premium puzzles and their resolution Written to be a summary for academics and professionals as well as a textbook this book condenses and advances recent scholarship in financial economics"

| "On Bullshit" |
| "A 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit Everyone knows this Each of us contributes his share But we tend to take the situation for granted Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern We have no clear understanding of what bullshit is why there is so much of it or what functions it serves And we lack a conscientiously developed appreciation of what it means to us In other words as Harry Frankfurt writes we have no theory Frankfurt one of the world's most influential moral philosophers attempts to build such a theory here With his characteristic combination of philosophical acuity psychological insight and wry humor Frankfurt proceeds by exploring how bullshit and the related concept of humbug are distinct from lying He argues that bullshitters misrepresent themselves to their audience not as liars do that is by deliberately making false claims about what is true In fact bullshit need not be untrue at all Rather bullshitters seek to convey a certain impression of themselves without being concerned about whether anything at all is true They quietly change the rules governing their end of the conversation so that claims about truth and falsity are irrelevant Frankfurt concludes that although bullshit can take many innocent forms excessive indulgence in it can eventually undermine the practitioner's capacity to tell the truth in a way that lying does not Liars at least acknowledge that it matters what is true By virtue of this Frankfurt writes bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are"

| "A new evolutionary explanation of markets and investor behavior Half of all Americans have money in the stock market yet economists can't agree on whether investors and markets are rational and efficient as modern financial theory assumes or irrational and inefficient as behavioral economists believe--and as financial bubbles crashes and crises suggest This is one of the biggest debates in economics and the value or futility of investment management and financial regulation hang on the outcome In this groundbreaking book Andrew Lo cuts through this debate with a new framework the Adaptive Markets Hypothesis in which rationality and irrationality coexist Drawing on psychology evolutionary biology neuroscience artificial intelligence and other fields Adaptive Markets shows that the theory of market efficiency isn't wrong but merely incomplete When markets are unstable investors react instinctively creating inefficiencies for others to exploit Lo's new paradigm explains how financial evolution shapes behavior and markets at the speed of thought--a fact revealed by swings between stability and crisis profit and loss and innovation and regulation A fascinating intellectual journey filled with compelling stories Adaptive Markets starts with the origins of market efficiency and its failures turns to the foundations of investor behavior and concludes with practical implications--including how hedge funds have become the Galapagos Islands of finance what really happened in the 2008 meltdown and how we might avoid future crises An ambitious new answer to fundamental questions in economics Adaptive Markets is essential reading for anyone who wants to know how markets really work"

| "The Beginning of Politics : Power in the Biblical Book of Samuel" |
| "New insights into how the Book of Samuel offers a timeless meditation on the dilemmas of statecraft The Book of Samuel is universally acknowledged as one of the supreme achievements of biblical literature Yet the book's anonymous author was more than an inspired storyteller The author was also an uncannily astute observer of political life and the moral compromises and contradictions that the struggle for power inevitably entails The Beginning of Politics mines the story of Israel's first two kings to unearth a natural history of power providing a forceful new reading of what is arguably the first and greatest work of Western political thought Moshe Halbertal and Stephen Holmes show how the beautifully crafted narratives of Saul and David cut to the core of politics exploring themes that resonate wherever political power is at stake Through stories such as Saul's madness David's murder of Uriah the rape of Tamar and the rebellion of Absalom the book's author deepens our understanding not only of the necessity of sovereign rule but also of its costs--to the people it is intended to protect and to those who wield it What emerges from the meticulous analysis of these narratives includes such themes as the corrosive grip of power on those who hold and compete for power; the ways in which political violence unleashed by the sovereign on his own subjects is rooted in the paranoia of the isolated ruler and the deniability fostered by hierarchical action through proxies; and the intensity with which the tragic conflict between political loyalty and family loyalty explodes when the ruler's bloodline is made into the guarantor of the all-important continuity of sovereign power The Beginning of Politics is a timely meditation on the dark side of sovereign power and the enduring dilemmas of statecraft"

Weaving together a vivid narrative historical anecdotes and economic analysis The Rise and Fall of American Growth challenges the view that economic growth will continue unabated and demonstrates that the life-altering scale of innovations between 1870 and 1970 cannot be repeated Gordon contends that the nation's productivity growth will be further held back by the headwinds of rising inequality stagnating education an aging population and the rising debt of college students and the federal government and that we must find new solutions A critical voice in the most pressing debates of our time The Rise and Fall of American Growth is at once a tribute to a century of radical change and a harbinger of tougher times to come"

| "Our Cosmic Habitat" |
| "Our universe seems strangely biophilic or hospitable to life Is this happenstance providence or coincidence? According to cosmologist Martin Rees the answer depends on the answer to another question the one posed by Einstein's famous remark What interests me most is whether God could have made the world differently This highly engaging book explores the fascinating consequences of the answer being yes Rees explores the notion that our universe is just a part of a vast multiverse or ensemble of universes in which most of the other universes are lifeless What we call the laws of nature would then be no more than local bylaws imposed in the aftermath of our own Big Bang In this scenario our cosmic habitat would be a special possibly unique universe where the prevailing laws of physics allowed life to emerge Rees begins by exploring the nature of our solar system and examining a range of related issues such as whether our universe is or isn't infinite He asks for example How likely is life? How credible is the Big Bang theory? Rees then peers into the long-range cosmic future before tracing the causal chain backward to the beginning He concludes by trying to untangle the paradoxical notion that our entire universe stretching 10 billion light-years in all directions emerged from an infinitesimal speck As Rees argues we may already have intimations of other universes But the fate of the multiverse concept depends on the still-unknown bedrock nature of space and time on scales a trillion trillion times smaller than atoms in the realm governed by the quantum physics of gravity Expanding our comprehension of the cosmos Our Cosmic Habitat will be read and enjoyed by all those--scientists and nonscientists alike--who are as fascinated by the universe we inhabit as is the author himself"
