Inchon: the battle that saved South KoreaOperation Chromite, the American-led amphibious landing at the port of Inchon [Incheon] in September 1950, is arguably the most famous battle of the Korean War. Often hailed as a masterstroke on the part of its creator, General Douglas MacArthur, its consequences were vast. Seoul was liberated by the end of the month, the invasion of South Korea by North Korea rapidly reversed, and the stage set for an advance toward the Yalu River by United Nations and South Korean forces that would lead to Chinese intervention and a whole new war. The Inchon-Seoul campaign is also noteworthy for the way in which participating states and commanders developed different and sometimes irreconcilable accounts of what had transpired and conclusions as to its ultimate meaning. This volume chronicles the origins and course of the battle itself, and then examine its cultural afterlife-first through press coverage, then through published memoirs, in official histories, on the big screen, and finally via sites of commemoration-down to the present in the United States and the two Koreas. The overarching aim of Inchon is to explore how complimentary or competing narratives at both the national and individual level developed over a timespan of more than seven decades.

The aim of this volume is to open up reflection on the nature of vulnerability, the responsibilities owed to the vulnerable, who bears these responsibilities, and how they are best fulfilled. In canvassing responses to these questions, the contributors engage with a range of ethical traditions and with issues in contemporary political philosophy and bioethics. Some essays in the volume explore the connections between vulnerability, autonomy, dignity, and justice. Other essays engage with a feminist ethics of care to articulate the relationship between vulnerability, dependence, and care. These theoretical approaches are complemented by detailed examination of vulnerability in specific contexts, including disability; responsibilities to children; intergenerational justice; and care of the elderly. The essays thus address fundamental questions concerning our moral duties to each other as individuals and as citizens. Contributing significantly to the development of an ethics of vulnerability, this volume opens up promising avenues for future research in feminist philosophy, moral and political philosophy, and bioethics.

Detektyw Pat Mackienzie często przyjmuje nietypowe zlecenia. Tym razem do nowojorskiego biura zgłasza się zamożna starsza pani. Klientka prosi o pomoc w ustaleniu tożsamości młodej kobiety, która podaje się za jej wnuczkę. Sprawa, choć na pozór wydaje się prosta, będzie wymagać sprytu i logicznego myślenia. Na szczęście Mackenzie może liczyć na swoją nieocenioną sekretarkę. Pomoc okaże się przydatna, zwłaszcza że życiu detektywa zagraża groźny zbieg.Marian Piotr Rawinis znany też jako Peter Janees to polski poeta, powieściopisarz, scenarzysta i dziennikarz.
