Atlas Trap
Sunday, July 24th, 2011

Would any of you consider Ayn Rand to be a real philosopher?
I know at least 15 PhD-level educated professional philosophers who do NOT consider Ayn Rand (book: Atlas Shrugged, etc.) to be an actual philosopher. They tend to view her as a pop-culture phenomenon of the 1950s-60s.
Though now there are more and more female philosophers in the world, why do you think she has this low status among university professors? Was her book just clap-trap as it was mentioned in its early reviews? Thanks for your opinions.
The very fact that 50 years after the publication of “Atlas Shrugged” people still ask the same question shows the enduring nature of her ideas. She refined Aristotle, and brought him into the 20th Century. No one ever accused Thomas Aquinas of “not being a philosopher” when he brought Aristotle into the 13th century.
To quote Aristotle: “The disease afflicting the modern world is above all a disease of the intellect. It began in the mind and has by now penetrated to its very roots. Is it surprising then that the world should seem to us shrouded in darkness?”
Rand recognized this in the fashion of Aristotle, not in the fashion of Kant, Hegel, and Marx, who all followed Plato, which is why she is disdained.
But you will find, if you look, that the single biggest philosophical factor in Washington politics that prevents us from going totally socialistic is the large number of Objectivist think-tankers, including the Cato Institute, the Objecitivst Center, The Atlas Society, etc.
When you impugne Rand, you impugne Aristotle and Aquinas as well, because she did nothing more than give them back to us after a long period of intellectual sleep by the Rationalistst and the Empiricists. She knocked their head together and said said each was only half right. She demonstrated where each was incorrect, and defended them where they were correct.
And if Atlas Shrugged stands alone as the great depiction of the horrors of Marxism on intellectual thinking, then thank god it has lasted 50 years–so far.

Trap $36.43 Tadeusz Rozewicz is one of the great writers of our time, internationally celebrated as a poet, dramatist, and prose-writer. He gained his reputation as the most important poet to emerge after the war with his first volume, Anxiety, which heralded a new harsh and stark poetic, an "anti-poetry" born of war-time experiences. With a succession of very controversial plays, Rozewicz has established himself as one of the most important and popular living Polish dramatists. His plays have been widely performed on stage, radio and television. |

The Trap $3.46 A gripping wilderness adventure and survival story "It was getting colder. Johnny pulled the fur-lined hood of his parka over his head and walked towards his own cabin with the sound of snow crunching beneath his boots." ""He should be back tomorrow," he thought, as a star raced across the sky just below the North Star. " ""He should be back tomorrow for sure."" Seventeen-year-old Johnny Least-Weasel knows that his grandfather Albert is a stubborn old man and won’t stop checking his own traplines even though other men his age stopped doing so years ago. But Albert Least-Weasel has been running traplines in the Alaskan wilderness alone for the past sixty years. Nothing has ever gone wrong on the trail he knows so well. When Albert doesn’t come back from checking his traps, with the temperature steadily plummeting, Johnny must decide quickly whether to trust his grandfather or his own instincts. Written in alternating chapters that relate the parallel stories of Johnny and his grandfather, this novel poignantly addresses the hardships of life in the far north, suggesting that the most dangerous traps need not be made of steel. |

This Is Not an Atlas $3.46 There are a lot of Worlds in the world. It seems that many countries have them. Here then is a collection of photographs of these Worlds, each one a store-front. They were collected from many different countries, by two people over a five year period. Rules applied to the taking of the photographs in this book. Worlds had to be spotted and then photographed off-the-cuff, or on-the-hoof. Pass by a wonderful new World in the bus, pull out your camera and quickly shoot a picture of it and never go back. Miss the chance due to no camera, no film or no energy, never go back. The Worlds are transient, yet we have all seen them, and they are everywhere. This personal selection of Worlds of the world captures the amusement, promise and banality of this frequently used name. Spontaneity is the key rule; the collection of the image the key motivation, mixed with just a little bit of obsession. The result is counter-cultural, so hopelessly and amateurishly unaesthetic, and so typographically wrong, that it sets new standards of aesthetics. Curiously and inexplicably attractive, the images in this book will engage and amuse you. |

The Atlas $17.03 Hailed by Newsday as "the most unconventional–and possibly the most exciting and imaginative–novelist at work today," William T. Vollmann has also established himself as an intrepid journalist willing to go to the hottest spots on the planet. Here he draws on these formidable talents to create a web of fifty-three interconnected tales, what he calls ?a piecemeal atlas of the world I think in.? Set in locales from Phnom Penh to Sarajevo, Mogadishu to New York, and provocatively combining autobiography with invention, fantasy with reportage, these stories examine poverty, violence, and loss even as they celebrate the beauty of landscape, the thrill of the alien, the infinitely precious pain of love. The Atlas brings to life a fascinating array of human beings: an old Inuit walrus-hunter, urban aborigines in Sydney, a crack-addicted prostitute, and even Vollmann himself. |

Ghost Trap $24.83 Since she was a little girl, Melinda Gordon could talk to the dead: "earthbound spirits" as her grandmother called them. Melinda came to understand that the spirits are trapped, and in need. She listens, tries to understand what keeps them from crossing over, and helps them find what they need to be free. It’s not easy, but with time and patience her gift allows her to come to bring those spirits to peace. The sound of a mournful lullaby has been haunting Melinda in her sleep, the song of a ghost who doesn’t seem ready or willing to accept her help. Knowing that earthbound spirits are often confused and troubled, Melinda feels that with time she will make a connection. But there is no time; the melodic tapestry that the ghostly singer is weaving with her words — meant to comfort a child — has become a trap, lulling the young listeners into such a deep sleep that no one can ever awaken them. It takes one child, then another and another, until all across the town children are drawn in by the gentle song, their lives slowly slipping away. Even Melinda, with her knowledge of the spirit world, finds herself being pulled into the beautiful snare, where she nearly loses herself. Only then does Melinda begin to worry that this is a spirit so troubled, so heartsick, that it may be beyond her help. |

Ice Trap $3.46 Dear Doctor Woodruff, I hope you don’t mind me writing to you. I think I’m your daughter…. This international bestseller is a startlingly assured first novel of deception, ambiguity, and shattering revelations. At the height of his career, a British surgeon has found success in both the hospital and at home. He and his wife have everything they want out of life, except the child she longs for, the child Dr. Woodruff secretly believes he may never be ready to parent. Suddenly, the delicate equilibrium of their relationship is blown apart by the arrival of shocking news. Deep in the desolate sub-Arctic wilderness of Canada where Woodruff lived and worked years before, a woman claims he is the father of her thirteen-year-old twins. Woodruff knows it cannot be true — but DNA tests don’t lie. To make sense of the impossible, he must return to that frozen wilderness, where no rules and few laws apply. Leaving his shattered relationship behind, he finds that his well-guarded secrets have even deeper and more sinister layers. But the people he once knew in that godforsaken place guard secrets of their own, and no one — least of all the ruthless woman at the dark core of this maelstrom — will help him uncover the truth. The past quickly gains a stranglehold, threatening to unravel everything Woodruff has built — his marriage, his career. And a man who has made one mistake may pay dearly for another — and risk destroying his entire future….

The War Trap $28.83 "This illuminating work is a masterful study that delves into the causes of war using a wholly new approach. Utilizing the assumptions of rational behavior, de Mesquita focuses on the perspective of decision making as an attempt to understand the phenomenon of war….The book is highly stimulating…provocative, and certainly quite timely…a superb example of methodological exposition….Likely to appeal to the serious scholar of social science in general and of international relations in particular."-Ghulam M. Haniff, The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science "A major work. It is certain to inspire theoretical elaboration and refinement, additional testing of its propositions, and fruitful application. Moreover, it is destined to be considered a classic contribution to the scientific understanding of interstate conflict and war."-Frank C. Zagare, American Political Science Review "Rigorous and insightful analysis….An important contribution to our theories of choice, relevant to all students of politics. The study is an exemplar in its development of systematic mini-theory accompanied by empirical tests of its propositions, completely worthy of emulation by those of us who profess to be political scientists, young and old."-Harold Guetzkow, The Review of Politics "A tour de force of theory, testing, and illustration."-Bruce M. Russett |

The Control Trap $3.95 God’s Loving Invitation to Women–to "Rest" Rather Than to Control"I meant well. I only wanted to fix things–and people. I thought it was my duty to keep my husband on-track and to keep our children from making mistakes and getting hurt. I wanted to keep our friends healthy and happy. And I was concerned about keeping our spiritual leaders wise."But somehow in the process I ended up taking the burden of our world upon my own shoulders. I often made the mistake of believing that my will for those I loved must be their highest good. And that is where I began to go amiss, to lose my peace–and to cause unhappiness and conflict for others. I was caught in the control trap."Sound familiar?Being in control is a human way of feeling secure, getting problems "solved," getting things done "right." But God has called women to a life of trust and ever-increasing faith, free of debilitating emotions and out-of-balance relationships. It is possible to spiritually break through the control problem and to trust in a Father who never disappoints, who holds the whole world in His hands.The results are transforming |

The Synergy Trap $22.97 With acquisition activity running into the trillions of dollars, the acquisition alternative continues to be the favorite corporate growth strategy of this generation’s executives. Unfortunately, creating shareholder value remains the most elusive outcome of these corporate strategies. After decades of research and billions of dollars paid in advisory fees, why do these major decisions continue to destroy value? Building on his groundbreaking research first cited in Business Week, Mark L. Sirower explains how companies often pay too much — and predictably never realize the promises of increased performance and competitiveness — in their quest to acquire other companies. Armed with extensive evidence, Sirower destroys the popular notion that the acquisition premium represents potential value. He provides the first formal and functional definition for synergy — the specific increases in performance beyond those already expected for companies to achieve independently. Sirower’s refreshing nuts-and-bolts analysis of the fundamentals behind acquisition performance cuts sharply through the existing folklore surrounding failed acquisitions, such as lack of "strategic fit" or corporate culture problems, and gives managers the tools to avoid predictable losses in acquisition decisions. Using several detailed examples of recent major acquisitions and through his masterful integration and extension of techniques from finance and business strategy, Sirower reveals: * The unique business gamble that acquisitions represent * The managerial challenges already embedded in current stock prices * The competitive conditions that must be met and the organizational cornerstones that must be in place for any possibility of synergy * The precise Required Performance Improvements (RPIs) implicitly embedded in acquisition premiums and the reasons why these RPIs normally dwarf realistic performance gains * The seductiveness and danger of sophisticated valuation models so often used by advisers The Synergy Trap is the first expos of its kind to prove that the tendency of managers to succumb to the "up the ante" philosophy in acquisitions often leads to disastrous ends for their shareholders. Sirower shows that companies must meticulously plan — and account for huge uncertainties — before deciding to enter the acquisition game. To date, Sirower’s work is the most comprehensive and rigorous, yet practical, analysis of the drivers of acquisition performance. This definitive book will become required reading for managers, corporate directors, consultants, investors, bankers, and academics involved in the mergers and acquisitions arena. |
