Gone
The police bring Ben Adams in for questioning concerning the disappearance of Nancy Keene. Further investigation reveals that essentially every five years of the past 15 years Ben has been a suspect in the disappearance of a female. On January 18th 1994, Carol Sifford was reported missing after coming home with Ben from a high school dance. On January 18th 1999, Judy Haskell disappeared from her dorm after returning from a college fraternity party with Ben. Neither has ever been found. Chief Neuman believes that Ben is responsible for all three disappearances and sets out to convict him. The Chief is first surprised when Ben asks for his help to prove his innocence and then outraged when his daughter is reported missing after meeting Ben. Ben is arrested and in jail when he disappears. The FBI and CIA become involved. Not because of the disappearances but because of Bens work at Chemtrak where he has found a reaction by-product with some most unusual properties. They need Ben to join a team of U.S.- Russian scientists at Lake Vostok, Antarctica on a mission to preserve the current human time-line.
Returning to Judgment
Returning to Judgment provides the first extensive treatment of political judgment in the work of Bernard Stiegler and the first account of his significance for contemporary continental political thought. Ben Turner argues that Stiegler breaks with his predecessors in continental philosophy by advocating for, rather than retreating from, the task of proposing totalizing judgments on political problems that extend beyond the local and the particular. He shows that the reconciliation of judgment with continental political thought's commitment to anti-totalization structures the entirety of Stiegler's philosophy and demonstrates that this theory of the political decision highlights the difficulties that contemporary political ontology faces when addressing global and large-scale political problems. The book provides an overview of Stiegler's philosophy useful for those unfamiliar with his thought, shows how he draws on key influences including Deleuze, Derrida, Freud, and Simondon to develop his conception of judgment, and considers the challenges and consequences of his embrace of totalizing political decisions.
Devil in the House
"This novel about the inner workings of the U.S. Congress is as timely as today's news and as unsettling as tomorrow's headlines--and just as intriguing." --Robert H. Michel, former Minority Leader, U.S. House of Representatives "A gripping read, Devil in the House provides a tantalizing look inside Washington politics and at duplicity on Capitol Hill." --Milton Friedman, former senior White House speech writer "A powerful look at the unprincipled use of power on Capitol Hill." --Sidney Yudain, founder and former editor/publisher of Roll Call, the Newspaper of Capitol Hill
