2 Irvine, William B
A Slap in the face : why insults hurt - and why they
shouldn-t / William B Irvine.-- New Delhi: Oxford
University Press, 2017.
x, 253p. , 18cm.
ISBN : 9780190665043.
155.232 IRV 146192
In this book,the author undertakes a wide-ranging
investigation of insults, their history, the role they
play in social relationships, and the science behind
them. He examines not just memorable zingers, such as
Elizabeth Bowen-s description of Aldous Huxley as "The
stupid person-s idea of a clever person," but subtle
insults as well, such as when someone insults us by
reporting the insulting things others have said about us:
"I never read bad reviews about myself," wrote
entertainer Oscar Levant, "because my best friends
invariably tell me about them." He also considers the
role insults play in our society: they can be used to
cement relations, as when a woman playfully teases her
husband, or to enforce a social hierarchy, as when a boss
publicly berates an employee.

4 Bowler, Peter J
A History of the future : prophets of progress from H.G.
Wells to Isaac Asimov / Peter J Bowler.-- Cambridge:
Cambridge University Press, 2017.
x, 287p. , 23cm.
ISBN : 9781316602621.
303.49 BOW 146116
In this wide-ranging survey, the author explores the
phenomenon of futurology: predictions about the future
development and impact of science and technology on
society and culture in the twentieth century. Utilising
science fiction, popular science literature and the
novels of the literary elite, he highlights contested
responses to the potential for revolutionary social
change brought about by real and imagined scientific
innovations. Charting the effect of social and military
developments on attitudes towards innovation in Europe
and America, he shows how conflict between the enthusiasm
of technocrats and the pessimism of their critics was
presented to the public in books, magazines and
exhibitions, and on the radio and television.

thriving counterexample of civilizational coexistence.

(Routledge advances in heterodox economics , 37).
ISBN : 9780415247313.

the system works as a whole. This book develops a
heterodox economic theory that explains the economy as
the social provisioning process at the micro level.

8 Galloway, Scott
The Four : the hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook and

viii, 310p. , 24cm.
ISBN : 9780593077900.
338.761004678 GAL 146101
The author asks fundamental questions. How did the Four
infiltrate our lives so completely that they-re almost
impossible to avoid (or boycott)? Why does the stock
market forgive them for sins that would destroy other
firms? And as they race to become the world-s first
trillion-dollar company, can anyone challenge them? He
deconstructs the strategies of the Four that lurk beneath
their shiny veneers. He shows how they manipulate the
fundamental emotional needs that have driven us since our
ancestors lived in caves, at a speed and scope others
can-t match. And he reveals how you can apply the lessons
of their ascent to your own business or career.
