Introduction by Bill Crider and cover art by Ron Lesser.

ONE WAS A KILLER: A TOUGH KID--with a record of violence. The headlines screamed for a fast conviction. THE LEADER of a vicious gang. What had he wanted from Ann Avery the night of her death? A DOPE ADDICT--She looked too frail to kill anyone. A HIGH LIVER--on a teacher's salary. Where did he get the big money? A JEALOUS HUSBAND--Did he really love his wife? A LUSH--Blackmail was her only chance for more whiskey. A RELUCTANT WITNESS--Why did he hide a piece of explosive evidence which might clear another suspect? These were the people psychoanalyst Gray set out to question about the murder of Ann Avery, knowing as he searched that one or more among them would also be killed

In these essays, the author attacks the central problems in the philosophy of science from the viewpoint of a working scientist who relates the philosophical questions to methodological issues that have arisen in his own research. The essays deal with six main topics: the validation of hypotheses, the logic of causal ordering and its relation to the definability and identifiability of theoretical terms, the logic of imperatives and decisions, the structure of complex systems, the theory of scientific discovery, and the axiomization of scientific theories. He treats these topics in a unified way by employing the analytic tools of model theory and by putting the discovery of theories, rather than their testing, at the center of the stage. Questions surrounding the axiomization of theories are examined in the light of real examples (Newtonian mechanics and Ohm's law) rather than simplified, hypothetical ones. Formalisms are not avoided, but they are always used as a means and not as ends in themselves.--

Many books, both popular and scholarly, have examined racism in the United States, but this unique volume is the first to examine the existence of anti-racism in the first two hundred years of U.S. history. Herbert Aptheker challenges the view that racism was universally accepted by whites. His book thoroughly debunks the myth that white people never cared about the plight of African-Americans until just before the outbreak of the Civil War. Covering the period from the 1600s through the 1860s, Aptheker begins with a short introduction and a questioning of racism's pervasiveness, taking examples of anti-racism from the literature. He then devotes sections to sexual relations, racism and anti-racism, to joint struggles to reject racism, and to a discussion of Gregoire, Banneker, and Jeffersonianism. Next he considers inferiority as viewed by poets, preachers, and teachers and by entrepreneuers, seamen, and cowboys. After a consideration of the Quakers, he turns his attention to the American and French revolutions and racism and to the Republic's early years and racism. Aptheker then devotes several sections to Abolitionism and concludes the work with the the Crisis Decade, the Civil War, Emancipation, and anti-racism. This book by a well-known scholar in the field will be of interest to all concerned with U.S. history and African American history.

This book obviously does not set out a complete record of the Nixon scandals or of the Nixon career. It doesn't even include all the cartoons about Nixon or relating to him--which probably number more than those Block did on almost any other public figure (good or bad), including such long-in-the-limelight persons as Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin. It does include a large number of the Nixon cartoons, along with dates of some incidents, and comments and recollections about their subject--a political career which in some way has affected all of us.

Contributing Authors Include William Kneale, W. V. Quine, Alfred Tarski, Bertrand Russell, And Many Others.

Kealey, consists of four broad sections: The Colonial World, 1600-1763; Independence and the New Nation, 1763-1815; The Beginnings of a New Society, 1815-1843; The New Society and the Changing Old Society, 1843-1876.

This collection of readings focuses on these objectives: to acquaint the reader with historians whose writings in American social history directly or indirectly explore critical intersections of culture and society; to supplement in basic ways the traditional political emphasis in American history courses; to illustrate how different methods of historical inquiry have been used by historians to spotlight important but often neglected aspects of the American past. It also focuses on ALL the ethnic and racial groups in America as well as on the varied social classes. The editors emphasize the structure of American Society, how it has changed, and how those changes were experienced and interpreted by Americans of varied social classes.

In the course of an impressive career as a writer, Herbert Gold has demonstrated many gifts, among them his talent for making high drama of ordinary events, ordinary people. — Chicago Tribune Book World Herbert Gold gives his stories a wry, bright air of wonder – he is a born storyteller. — New York Times One of the most gifted writers in America. — Detroit News The intriguing new story from prizewinning author Herbert Gold, his twentieth novel in more than six decades, takes us on a journey of lost souls seeking attachment, revenge and redemption at the edge of San Francisco Bay. When impoverished court translator Dan Kasdan lets lawyer and con artist Ferd Conway suck him into a shady property deal in Haiti, he’s unprepared for the life-changing complications that follow. First, an unknown daughter has just turned up at Dan’s door in the Tenderloin, nineteen years after a forgotten encounter in the Summer of Love. She, her half-employed husband and their disabled baby son need his care, attention and cash. All this just as Dan’s swollen prostate is confronting him with his own mortality. It’s bad enough when his cohort manipulates Dan into a love affair with Petal, a young woman his daughter’s age. But when Ferd starts pursuing Dan’s daughter as lover and would-be father figure, Ferd’s sleazy disloyalty changes Dan forever. If a psychopath really can fall in love, it had better not be with the wrong person. That could lead to murder among old friends.
