Description:
What is really happening when something happens?

In the second in a new series of accessible, commute-length books of original thought, Slavoj Zizek, one of the world's greatest living philosophers, examines the new and highly-contested concept of Event.

An Event can be an occurrence that shatters ordinary life, a radical political rupture, the emergence of a religious belief, the rise of a new art form, or an intense experience such as falling in love. After an event, nothing remains the same even if there are no obvious large changes.

Taking us on a trip which stops at different definitions of Event, Zizek addresses fundamental questions such as- How much are we agents of our own fates? Which conditions must be met for us to perceive something as really existing? In a world that's constantly changing, is anything new really happening?

Drawing on references from Plato to arthouse cinema, the Big Bang to Buddhism, Event is a journey into philosophy at its most exciting and elementary.

One year old loved the animal sounds
Format: Board book
It only took a few moments for our grandchild to figure out this book. He had a big grin on his face listening to the realistic sounds.

Dead batteries
Format: Board book
The book itself is nice but it came with dead batteries. Now I have to buy and replace the batteries before I can give it as a gift to a toddler who loves pushing the buttons. If not for that, would have given it 5 stars. But the inconvenience of finding the batteries in the first place when I shouldn’t have to is extremely annoying.
