The Question Concerning Technology, and Other Essays

To read Heidegger is to set out on an adventure. The essays in this volume--intriguing, challenging, and often baffling to the reader--call him always to abandon all superficial scanning and to enter wholeheartedly into the serious pursuit of thinking....
Heidegger is not a'primitive' or a'romanitic.' He is not one who seeks escape from the burdens and responsibilities of contemporary life into serenity, either through the re-creating of some idyllic past or through the exalting of some simple experience. Finally, Heidegger is not a foe of technology and science. He neither disdains nor rejects them as though they were only destructive of human life.
The roots of Heidegger's hinking lie deep in the Western philosophical tradition. Yet that thinking is unique in many of its aspects, in its language, and in its leterary expression. In the development of this thought Heidegger has been taught chiefly by the Greeks, by German idealism, by phenomenology, and by the scholastic theological tradition. In him these and other elements have been fused by his genius of sensitivity and intellect into a very individual philosophical expression.--William Lovitt,

NieA_7 Box Set (DVD)

A new series from the creators of LAIN, NIEA UNDER 7 is a radical departure from LAIN, a serious, often thought provoking anime that explored the nature of humanity and life and death. This series follows Mayuko, a poor college student living in a tiny apartment above a bathhouse. Unfortunately, her already cramped living situation is further complicated by NieA, a 7th class under-alien who lives in her closet and has made a hobby of constructing complicated alien technology from Mayuko's trash. The stressed out Mayuko finds she has entered a warped version of THE ODD COUPLE, and must figure out how to fit in study time in between trying to cope with the maneating plants and curry wars conjured by NieA's considerable powers. This collection contains the entire series in a collector's box.

A People Betrayed

In 1994 up to one million people were killed in Rwanda in a deliberate, public and political campaign. This book is a classic piece of investigative journalism which contains new and startling information on this international scandal, revealing how the great powers failed to heed the warnings of the coming catastrophe, and how they refused to recognize the genocide when it began. A set of secret documents leaked to the author from within the Security Council proves that the circumstances of the genocide were suppressed or ignored.
