Hardback. Condition: New. The Rhetoric of Official Apologies: Critical Essays focuses on the many challenges associated with performing a speech act on behalf of a collective and the concomitant issues of rhetorically tackling the multiple political, social, and philosophical issues at stake when a collective issues an official apology to a group of victims. Contributors address questions of whether collective remorse is possible or credible, how official apologies can be evaluated, who can issue apologies on behalf of whom, and whether there are certain kinds of wrongdoing that simply can't be addressed in the form of an official apology. Collectively, the book speaks to the relevance of conceptualizing official apologies more broadly as serving multiple rhetorical purposes that span ceremonial and political genres and represent a potentially powerful form of collective self-reflection necessary for political and social advancement.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Oppenheimer, J.R.; Serber, Robert (1938). "On the Stability of Stellar Neutron Cores" in Physical Review, American Physical Society, 1 October 1938, vol 54 (7), pp 485-544, with the Oppenheimer/Serber on pg 540 in the complete weekly issue. Nice, bright copy, rebound in cloth with a paper cover label. The binding is fine and NEW; the text is very fresh, though it has an old horizontal fold that goes through the issue. [++] This paper is an early key contribution to understanding the extreme conditions with-in neutron stars, and was an important development for Oppenheimer's gravitational contraction work with H. Snyder in the next year ("On Massive Neutron Cores" and also while we're at it Oppenheimer's big paper with Volkoff "On Massive Neutron Cores") on gravitational contraction, which investigated the collapse of stars into what are now known as black holes. Oppenheimer didn't like this busi-ness too much though it has been widely acknowledged by many as some of his most important work (including J.A. Wheeler, who coined the term in 1967). See: Bernstein, Jeremy (2007). "The Reluctant Father of Black Holes," Scientific American,1988.…
