McNamara at War: A New History
Robert S. McNamara was widely considered to be one of the most brilliant men of his generation. He was an invaluable ally of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson as U.S. secretary of defense, and he had a deeply moving relationship with Jackie Kennedy. But to the country, McNamara was the leading advocate for American escalation in Vietnam. He strongly advised Johnson to deploy hundreds of thousands of American ground troops, just weeks before concluding that the war was unwinnable, and for the next two and a half years, McNamara failed to urge Johnson to cut his losses and withdraw. McNamara at War examines McNamara's life of intense personal contradictions, following his childhood, his career as a young faculty member at Harvard Business School, and his World War II service, to his leadership of the Ford Motor Company and the World Bank. Philip and William Taubman had access to materials previously unavailable to McNamara biographers, including Jacqueline Kennedy's warm letters to McNamara during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations and beyond; family correspondence dating back to McNamara's service in World War II; and a secret diary maintained by McNamara's top Vietnam policy aide. What emerges is the comprehensive story of the infamous former leader of the Pentagon: riven by melancholy, guilt, zealous loyalty, and a profound inability to admit his flawed thinking about Vietnam before it was too late. McNamara at War is a portrait of a man at war with himself--with a grave influence on the history of the United States and the world.

Medieval English Conveyances
This study of the documents used in medieval England for the creation and transfer of interests in real property is the first book devoted exclusively to the subject since the publication of Thomas Madox's Formulare Anglicanum in 1702. The transactions covered include grants in fee and in perpetual alms, leases for life and for years, exchanges, surrenders and releases. Analysis of each kind of transaction is partly by way of commentary on the formulae of deeds, selected from the many thousands found in published cartularies and collections, and partly by relating the deeds to the relevant law of their periods, as found in early treatises, decided cases and the Year Books. The aim is to enable readers to identify and categorise deeds accurately, to appreciate their legal effects and to note instances where the practice of conveyancers and their clients differed from what is supposed to have been the law.

Metaphysik Der Sitten (1870)
Die ""Metaphysik der Sitten"" ist ein Werk des deutschen Philosophen Immanuel Kant, das erstmals im Jahr 1870 ver������ffentlicht wurde. In diesem Buch untersucht Kant die Grundlagen der Ethik und der Moral, indem er die Frage stellt, was es bedeutet, ein moralisches Leben zu f�����hren. Er argumentiert, dass moralische Entscheidungen auf der Vernunft und nicht auf den Emotionen basieren sollten und dass das moralische Gesetz universell und unver�����nderlich ist. Kant untersucht auch die Beziehung zwischen Moral und Freiheit sowie die Idee des kategorischen Imperativs, der besagt, dass man immer so handeln sollte, dass man die Menschheit sowohl in der eigenen Person als auch in der Person jedes anderen als Zweck und niemals blo����� als Mittel behandelt. Die ""Metaphysik der Sitten"" ist ein wichtiger Beitrag zur modernen Ethik und hat einen gro�����en Einfluss auf die Philosophie und die Gesellschaft gehabt.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
