Lopp on lahedal. Logen Uheksasormel voib jatkuda joudu veel vaid uhe voitluse jaoks – kuid see saab olema vagev. Pohjalaste kuningas on endiselt voimul ning teda voib peatada vaid uks mees. Tema vanim sober ja vanim vaenlane – on aeg, et Verine Uheksa naaseks. Inkvisiitor Gloktal on liiga palju ulemaid ja liiga vahe aega – tema voitleb teises sojas. See on salajane voitlus, kus keegi ei saa end turvalisena tunda ja kus kedagi ei voi usaldada. Glokta moogavoitleja paevad on ammu selja taga, see-eest valitseb ta aga surmavalt hasti oma teisi relvi: valjapressimist, ahvardamist ja piinamist. Jezal dan Luthar on otsustanud, et au ja hiilguse otsimine on liiga valus ja tuutu ning on otsustanud senisele elule selja poorata. Tema unistuseks on lihtne elu koos armastatud naisega. Kuid ka armastus voib olla valus ning aul ja hiilgusel on vastik komme sulle selja tagant ligi hiilida siis kui sa seda koige vahem ootad. Uniooni kuningas lamab surivoodil, talunikud massavad ja ulikud puuavad troonile paaseda. Maailma saaks paasta vaid Esimene Maag, kuid sellega kaasnevad riskid. Ning ukski oht pole suurem kui Esimese Seaduse rikkumine… „Kuningate viimane argument“ on Joe Abercrombie „Esimese seaduse“ triloogia kolmas ja viimane raamat. Varem on Varrakus ilmunud triloogia esimesed osad „Raud ise“ ja „Enne nende poomist“.

The United States today cries out for a robust, self-respecting, intellectually sophisticated left, yet the very idea of a left appears to have been discredited. In this brilliant new book, Eli Zaretsky rethinks the idea by examining three key moments in American history: the Civil War, the New Deal and the range of New Left movements in the 1960s and after including the civil rights movement, the women's movement and gay liberation.In each period, he argues, the active involvement of the left – especially its critical interaction with mainstream liberalism – proved indispensable. American liberalism, as represented by the Democratic Party, is necessarily spineless and ineffective without a left. Correspondingly, without a strong liberal center, the left becomes sectarian, authoritarian, and worse. Written in an accessible way for the general reader and the undergraduate student, this book provides a fresh perspective on American politics and political history. It has often been said that the idea of a left originated in the French Revolution and is distinctively European; Zaretsky argues, by contrast, that America has always had a vibrant and powerful left. And he shows that in those critical moments when the country returns to itself, it is on its left/liberal bases that it comes to feel most at home.

An enlightening introduction to the study of logic: its history, philosophical foundations, and formal structures Logic: Inquiry, Argument, and Order is the first book of its kind to frame the study of introductory logic in terms of problems connected to wider issues of knowledge and judgment that arise in the context of racial, cultural, and religious diversity. With its accessible style and integration of philosophical inquiry and real-life concerns, this book offers a novel approach to the theory of logic and its relevance to questions of meaning and value that arise in the world around us. The book poses four problems for logic: Is logic separate from experience? Does logic require dualisms? Can logic reconcile opposed ways of understanding the world? And when things are divided, does the boundary have a logic? The author begins the exploration of these questions with a discussion of the process of analyzing and constructing arguments. Using the logical theories of C. S. Peirce, John Dewey, and Josiah Royce to frame the investigation, subsequent chapters outline the process of inquiry, the concept of communicative action, the nature of validity, categorical reasoning through the theory of the syllogism, and inductive reasoning and probability. The book concludes with a presentation of modal logic, propositional logic, and quantification. Logic is presented as emerging from the activities of inquiry and communication, allowing readers to understand even the most difficult aspects of formal logic as straightforward developments of the process of anticipating and taking action. Numerous practice problems use arguments related to issues of diversity and social theory, and the book introduces methods of proving validity that include Venn diagrams, natural deduction, and the method of tableaux. Logic: Inquiry, Argument, and Order is an ideal book for courses on philosophical methods and critical reasoning at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. It is also an insightful reference for anyone who would like to explore a cross-cultural approach to the topic of logic.
