Condition: Near Fine. Social class differences and inequalities are alive and flourishing in cont emporary Britain. In reviewing a wide range of sources, this book provides easy access to the empirical research on social class. It illustrates how c lass differences reach into society, affecting not only life-styles but als o life-chancesbirth, health and death. Reid demonstrates how social class i s related to most aspects of life in Britain including: differences in weal th and income, education and qualifications, work and leisure, expectation of life and experience of health, housing, sex and family relationships, an d political and religious beliefs and activity. It provides a comprehensive view of the nature of social class in Britain and discusses how the concep t of class has been used in empirical research. In sum, it presents a very serious challenge to the hope or promise that Britain is moving toward a cl assless society. It is written for a very wide-ranging audience including s tudents, social scientists, teachers, politicians and administrators.

Benhabib, Seyla, 1950-. Dignity in adversity: human rights in troubled times. Cambridge, UK ; Malden, MA: Polity Press, 2014, originally 2011, reprinted 2014, xi, 298pp., PAPERBACK, messy ink underlining on about 10 pages in chapter 9 on political theology, book is curved and first few pages corner bumped, still good as reading copy despite damage. The language of human rights has become the public vocabulary of our contemporary world. Ironically, as the political influence of human rights has grown, their philosophical justification has become ever more controversial. Building on a theory of discourse ethics and communicative rationality, this book addresses the politics and philosophy of human rights against the background of the broader social transformations that are shaping the modern world. Rejecting the reduction of international human rights to the Trojan horse of a neo-liberal empire's bid for world power, as well as the conservative objections to legal cosmopolitanism as encroachments upon democratic sovereignty, Benhabib develops two key concepts to move beyond these false antitheses. International human rights norms need contextualization in specific polities through processes of what she calls 'democratic iterations.' Furthermore, such norms have a 'jurisgenerative power, ' in that they enable new actors to enter fields of social and political contestation; they promote new vocabularies for public claim-making and anticipate a justice to come. -- CONTENTS: Introduction : cosmopolitanism without illusions -- From The dialectic of enlightenment to The origins of totalitarianism : Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer in the company of Hannah Arendt -- International law and human plurality in the shadow of totalitarianism : Hannah Arendt and Raphael Lemkin -- Another universalism : on the unity and diversity of human rights -- Is there a human right to democracy? Beyond interventionism and indifference -- Twilight of sovereignty or the emergence of cosmopolitan norms? Rethinking citizenship in volatile times -- Claiming rights across borders : international human rights and democratic sovereignty -- Democratic exclusions and democratic iterations : dilemmas of just membership and prospects of cosmopolitan federalism -- The return of political theology : the Scarf Affair in comparative constitutional perspective in France, Germany and Turkey -- Utopia and dystopia in our times.

Adorno, Theodor W. / Berg, Alban. Theodor Adorno and Alban Berg: Correspondence, 1925-1935. Edited by Henri Lonitz. Translated by Wieland Hoban. Cambridge, UK, Malden, Mass.: Polity Press, 2005, xi, 268pp., like new dust-jacket, never used brown cloth, tiny light newsprint color spot on lower foredge, otherwise fresh unused copy. Front jacket flap text: "Adorno was twenty-one years old when he travelled to Vienna in March 1925 to study musical composition with Alban Berg. Twenty years later, Adorno wrote: 'How much of my writing will remain is beyond my knowledge or my control, but there is one claim I wish to stake: that I understand the language of music as the heroes in fairy tales understand the language of birds'. It was no less than the desire to learn to speak this language that drew him to Berg. Adorno already knew what he wanted to compose before he went to Berg, and the aim of his stay in Vienna and the following years was to learn to put this knowledge of musical composition into practice. His correspondence with Berg, who was soon to be world famous, is partly defined by his engagement with the compositional problems posed for the musical avant-garde by Schoenberg's discovery of the twelve-tone technique, for which Adorno was to become an advocate, not least in Vienna and through Berg. This correspondence documents how he wrote numerous essays on Berg, Webern and Schoenberg during this time, and tried in vain to establish a platform for the Second Viennese School against 'moderated modernity' in the journal Anbruch, where he exerted considerable editorial influence., It also shows how much Adorno - continually admonished by Berg to focus only on his musical composition - strove to reconcile his academic duties and his literary and journalistic work with the constant wish to do nothing more than compose.".
