Historical Materialism
This classic volume contains Nikolai Bukharin's 1928 treatise, "Historical Materialism". Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin (1888-1938) was a Russian revolutionary, politician, and author. Bukharin was an important Bolshevik revolutionary, and spent six years with Lenin and Trotsky in exile. He wrote prolifically on the subject of revolutionary theory. This book will appeal to those with an interest in the Russian Revolution, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "The Practical Importance of the Social Sciences", "Cause and Purpose in the Social Sciences (Causation and Teleology", "Determinism and Indeterminism (Necessity and Free Will)", "Dialectic Materialism", "Society", "The Equilibrium Between Society and Nature", "The Equilibrium Between the Elements of Society", etc. Many classic books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive.

The Marx-Engels Reader
This new anthology brings together the essential writings of Marx and Engels—those works necessary for an introduction to Marxist thought and ideology. The volume is so arranged as to show both the chronological and the thematic development of the two great thinkers. Selections range in coverage from history, society, and economics to politics, philosophy, and the strategy and tactics of social revolution. Each selection is introduced by Professor Tucker and, where possible, is presented in its entirety. Part I presents the writings of the young Marx, the works that have aroused so much interest and caused so much debate in the past decade. Part II includes works critical of capitalism and, for the first time in an anthology, substantial portions of Marx's most important work, Capital. In Part III are the works that outline the program, strategy, and tactics of the revolutionary movement. Part IV includes those writings critical of society and politics in the nineteenth century, not only European but also Asian and Russian as well. The concluding section, Part V, presents the later writings of Engels, in which Marxism was popularized and systematized for the benefit of the masses. The Marx-Engels Reader contains an interpretive general introduction that traces and analyzes the development of Marxist philosophy; a chronology of major events in the lives of Marx and Engels; a bibliographic note; and an index. The editor, Robert C. Tucker, is a professor of politics and director of Russian studies at Princeton University. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University and has also taught at Indiana University. Among his many publications are Philosophy and Myth in Karl Marx; The Soviet Political Mind, Revised Edition (Norton); and The Marxian Revolutionary Idea (Norton).
Homo Ludens
An essential reference for all game designers, this 1938 classic is “a fascinating account of ‘man the player’ and the contribution of play to civilization” (Harper’s). In this classic evaluation of play that has become a “must-read” for those in game design, Dutch philosopher Johan Huizinga defines play as the central activity in flourishing societies. Like civilization, play requires structure and participants willing to create within limits. Starting with Plato, Huizinga traces the contribution of Homo Ludens, or “man the player” through Medieval Times, the Renaissance, and into our modern civilization. Huizinga defines play against a rich theoretical background, using cross-cultural examples from the humanities, business, and politics. Homo Ludens defines play for generations to come.
