In what ways can the present seek to rectify such historical wrongs, even while recognizing that they lie beyond repair? Irreparable Evil explores the legacy of slavery and its moral and political implications, offering a nuanced intervention into debates over reparations.   David Scott reconsiders the story of New World slavery in a series of interconnected essays that focus on Jamaica and the Anglophone Caribbean. Slavery, he emphasizes, involved not only scarcely imaginable brutality on a mass scale but also the irreversible devastation of the ways of life and cultural worlds from which enslaved people were uprooted. Colonial extraction shaped modern capitalism; plantation slavery enriched colonial metropoles and simultaneously impoverished their peripheries. To account for this atrocity, Scott examines moral and reparatory modes of history and criticism, probing different conceptions of evil. He reflects on the paradoxes of seeking redress for the specific moral evil of slavery, criticizing the limitations of liberal rights-based arguments for reparations that pursue reconciliation with the past. Instead, this book argues, in making the urgent demand for reparations, we must acknowledge the fundamental irreparability of a wrong of such magnitude.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56227646538101,"sku":"9780231213059","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780231213059_5f4a707b-aee4-4226-bac1-c3088669a6dd.jpg?v=1786012699"},{"product_id":"9781032484686","title":"Intelligence, Sapience and Learning","description":"\u003cp\u003eExamining the idea of intelligence in its diverse sociological and philosophical formations, \u003ci\u003eIntelligence,\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSapience and Learning\u003c\/i\u003e explores the multiple and often complex meanings associated with the concept of intelligence, and its relationships with learning, curriculum and sapience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295889666421,"sku":"9781032484686","price":171.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781032484686_c7f2c49c-b26c-4d77-9045-984ced2d807b.jpg?v=1786016839"},{"product_id":"9781471885679","title":"Edexcel A-level Chemistry Student Guide: Practical Chemistry","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExam Board: Edexcel\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLevel: A-level\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubject: Chemistry\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFirst Teaching: September 2015\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFirst Exam: June 2016\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnsure your students get to grips with the core practicals and develop the skills needed to succeed with an in-depth assessment-driven approach that builds and reinforces understanding; clear summaries of practical work with sample questions and answers help to improve exam technique in order to achieve higher grades.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by experienced teacher and author David Scott, this Student Guide for practical Chemistry:\u003cbr\u003e- Help students easily identify what they need to know with a concise summary of required practical work examined in the A-level specifications.\u003cbr\u003e- Consolidate understanding of practical work, methodology, mathematical and other skills out of the laboratory with exam tips and knowledge check questions, with answers in the back of the book.\u003cbr\u003e- Provide plenty of opportunities for students to improve exam technique with sample answers, examiners tips and exam-style questions. \u003cbr\u003e- Offer support beyond the Student books with coverage of methodologies and generic practical skills not focused on in the textbooks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56301059998069,"sku":"9781471885679","price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781471885679_3c6c227c-c3df-4e4e-968f-99c8634dfe01.jpg?v=1786020917"},{"product_id":"9781780371047","title":"Beyond the Drift","description":"\u003cp\u003eDavid Scott won the National Poetry Competition in 1978, and this new title draws on all the books he has published since then, from 'A Quiet Gathering' (1984) and 'Playing for England' (1989), to 'Selected Poems' (1998) and 'Piecing Together' (2005), with the addition of a whole collection of new poems.
