After a decade working as an ad copywriter, Rushdie had a breakthrough with the publication of his second book, Midnight's Children. The book received critical acclaim and was awarded the Booker Prize in 1981. His latest novel, The Enchantress of Florence, about a bewitching Moghul princess and her Florentine exploits with such historical characters as Machiavelli, is due out this June - City Arts and Lectures Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie is an Indian-British novelist and essayist. He first achieved fame with his second novel, Midnight's Children (1981), which won the Booker Prize.Much of his early fiction is set at least partly on the Indian subcontinent. His style is often classified as magical realism, while a dominant theme of his work is the story of the many connections, disruptions, and migrations between the Eastern and Western worlds. His fourth novel, The Satanic Verses (1988), led to protests from Muslims in several countries, some of which were violent. Faced with death threats and a fatwā (religious edict) issued by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, then Supreme Leader of Iran, which called for him to be killed, he spent nearly a decade largely underground, appearing in public only sporadically. In June 2007, Rushdie was appointed a Knight Bachelor for services to literature. In 2007, he began a five-year term as distinguished writer in residence at Emory University.

Waterloo ... is that like Watergate?

According to Lawrence Keeley, 90-95% of known societies engage in war . Why? What compels homo sapiens to kill each other? Why do we fight? Part one will describe two hypotheses. War is Rational: Sun Tzu argued that political struggles would eventually lead to armed conflict. Clausewitz took this one step further by saying that war is a mere continuation of policy by other means . Machiavelli completed this entire line of thought by saying that war was the most efficient means of attaining any political goal. War is Inevitable: Hobbes argued that humans are inherently violent. Raymond Dart and Robert Ardrey found a scientific basis for this by claiming that homo sapiens became the dominant humanoid through their martial prowess (and we have kept this prowess ever since). Another group of philosophers believe that war can be attributed to the reckless aggression caused by testosterone in males.

Diane invites listeners to join the discussion of this classic treatise on leadership and power.

What makes a leader?  For centuries, philosophers have debated the essential qualities of a leader (the differences in what a culture values in it s leaders is often a good indication of the values of said culture).  When looking at Harry Potter, what are the qualities that J.K. Rowling seems to show as making a good leader?  How do the characters in leadership roles respond to the power and authority they are given?  In this podcast, we discuss all these issues.  Many thanks to Greg from Toronto for joining us for this discussion. Referenced in our discussion is the book Forty Ways to Look at Winston Chuchhill: A Breif Account of a Long Life.
