	1	America Jean Baudrillard, Chris Turner Verso 0860919781 / 9780860919780 Paperback New 'Since de Toqueville French thinkers have been fascinated with America. But when it comes to mysterious paradoxes and lyrical complexity no French intellectual matches Jean Baudrillard in contemplating the New World... [He] has become a sharp-shooting Lone Ranger of the post-Marxist left. -- New York Times The collection of wild often hilarious postcards from his trip to America contains some of the year's most orignal and beautiful writing. -- New Statesman and Society ... occasionally provocative and almost always infuriating ... America is filled with perceptive almost poetic observations. -- Rolling Stone A mixture of crazy notions and dead-on insights America is a valuable (and voluable) picture of what Mr. Baudrillard calls 'the only remaining primitive society' -- ours. -- New York Times Book Review Price: 45.95 AUD

	2	Perfect Crime Jean Baudrillard Verso 1844672034 / 9781844672035 Paperback New In his newbook, perhaps the most cogent expression of his mature thought, JeanBaudrillard turns detective in order to investigate a crime which hehopes may yet be solved: the murder of reality. To solve the crimewould be to unravel the social and technological processes by whichreality has quite simply vanished under the deadly glare of media realtime. But Baudrillard is not merely intending to lamentthe disappearance of the real, an occurrence he recently described as the most important event of modern history, nor even to meditate uponthe paradoxes of reality and illusion, truth and its masks. The Perfect Crimeis also the work of a great moraliste: a penetrating examination ofvital aspects of the social, political and cultural life of the advanced democracies in the (very) late twentieth century. Wherecritics like McLuhan once exposed the alienating consequences of themedium, Baudrillard lays bare the depredatory effects of an oppressivetransparency on our social lives, of a relentless positivity on ourcritical faculties, and of a withering 'high definition' on our verysense of reality.
