I really enjoyed this Fiona mystery. Adler's fearless Irish girl detective may not be PC -- let's face it, she's a borderline
alcoholic who lets her job get in her way of her love life -- but she's pretty real. The whodunit is a good one, with a lot
of action that tosses the suspicions back and forth. Another good thing: this book has a cast of other strong female characters.
You can pretty well guess who the "violet-eyed moviestar wife of Virginia politician" is modeled after; this is the author's
signature light touch of humor that leavens a pretty horrible murder that has racist repercussions later on.

Review Date: 2003-10-01
This is one of the kindest, most avuncular logic books I have ever seen. Every page is evidence of the author's warmth toward
his students and his dedication to conveying logic to them in a way that respects them as mature persons. His thorough mastery
of the subject and its philosophy is another feature that distinguishes this book from the mountain of logic texts written
by inexperienced assistant professors and by persons for whom logic is a mere sideline, not a professional specialty as it
is with Goldfarb, an accomplished and respected logician who has been teaching this material for over twenty years. No logic
book I know of conveys kind warmth toward the readers or deeply modest non-dogmatic competence in the field more than Goldfarb's
2003 DEDUCTIVE LOGIC. The usual scientistic hocus-pocus, formalistic pedantry and breezy dogmatism are nowhere to be found
in this book. Its examples are chosen to appeal to the intelligent humanities student, not merely to the mathematical science
or computer engineering student. They are carefully and tastefully crafted to avoid irrelevant linguistic complexities, both
logical and sociological.
The author took over responsibility for Harvard's legendary introductory logic course Philosophy 140 in 1979 when W. V. Quine retired. A form of Quine's distinctive, if not idiosyncratic, philosophy and organization of logic has been meticulously and creatively implemented. Accordingly, but perhaps to the surprise of readers not familiar with the Quinean approach, deduction in the sense of step-by-step inferring of conclusions implied by given premises is substantially deferred until Section 33 of the books 44 Sections. The 44 sections averaging six pages in length are unequally divided into four Parts titled respectively: Truth-functional Logic, Monadic Quantification Theory, Polyadic Quantification Theory, and Identity and Names. The material in this book has been thoroughly classroom-tested. Most first-edition logic texts are loaded with errors that are exasperating to students and instructors alike. My reading has turned only one (non-exasperating) error: on pages 18, 69, and 289 the space in Augustus De Morgan's last name is omitted. Despite an honest effort to detect further errors typographical and otherwise the reviewer, to his amazement, has found none.
If a college instructor wants to present a Quinean form of modern first-order logic with identity and names but without functions in a competent, accurate and thoughtful way while avoiding patronizing spoon-feeding, this might be the best text. No other book I know comes close. On the other hand, if an instructor wants to convey the sometimes agonizing rough-and-tumble of contemporary or historical philosophy of logic, or the astounding struggles, dead-ends, missed opportunities, lapses in objectivity and embarrassing errors, even inconsistencies, involved in the historical development of currently accepted versions of the science painfully born in Ancient Athens, this book is not even a candidate. The words `Aristotle', `Boole', `contradiction', `epistemic', `ontic', `paradox', proof', `speech-act', `Tarski' and `tautology' do not occur in the index. There is no bibliography of readings in history and philosophy of logic and no list of current journals in the field. From the study of this excellent text, some students might infer that logic is a fascinating, rewarding and useful science that is virtually complete and uncontroversial. But they might also get the impression that it has no past and no future, that it will persist eternally in its present perfect form, and that it is an island of peaceful rationality. Logic may seem to lift the mind's eye toward the Platonic Form of Reason.

I confess I've never seen the published version of Goldfarb's Deductive Logic, but I've held on for more than a decade to
his class notes, and that's saying something, given my aversion to accumulating schtuff. The "modern classic" review on this
page makes the book sound just like the notes. If so, the review is right on. It's hard to make such a dry subject interersting,
to avoid a pedantic tone, to give a cumulative impression (rather than a brute dictum) that the study of logic follows naturally
from the universal human duty to think clearly (and maybe even from the more basic duty to live well). Goldfarb manages to
do all of this. Read his book.

My book is about a girl named Annah Perry. At the age of fourteen, life isn't easy for her. She realizes that when she and
her family get seperated from each other. It all started when the day came when she was going to be fourteen. She had
a great birthday party with all her friends and family. She got a lot of gifts which she really liked. As the day grew, she
enjoyed it more and more. After a couple of days Annah's father came home from work sad and he looked much more older. He
even came home earlier than usual. Mr. Perry didn't say a word and headed straight for the den. Mrs. Perry followed him.

This book was absolutely wonderful. It is set up in a workbook style so that you are doing more than just reading it; you
are thinking and praying as you go. It really helped me get in tune with God. I also recommend it for anyone not very familiar
with the Bible or interested in learning more. It has been a wonderful resource for me! I encourage you to try it if you
haven't already.

Not only is this book the ftsss (see above) but it actually has a lot of useful information. I learned a lot about climbing
(aid techniques, history, choice of beverage) from reading it. The cartoons are the best part, but many readers will also
appreciate the author's well-aimed (but funny) criticism of the elitist, pompous hypocrites who are way too common in the
rock climbing world.

I got this book after reading Roper's 'Camp 4.' Warren 'Batso' Harding seemed like such a interesting character and he is.
Originally written as a sort of introduction to climbing techniques guide, this book is now a interesting autobiography/history.
If you were interested in the Robbins/Harding dichotomy of 'Camp 4,' you'll be interested in Harding's side of the story and
its just so damn funny.

I featured this book in my 4th grade class's unit on "How We Came to California." It was the best book that told about the
journey of many families to the Golden State during the Dust Bowl Days because it included why they left, how they came and
the struggle once they got here. To make it even more special, my grandmother came to read it to the students because she
lived in CA during this time and helped the people who came to her town from Oaklahoma and Kansas. Having an elder read it
to the kids was the most memorable thing to many of the kids who simply did not know about this period of their family's history.

This is a charming, wonderful collection of comix and interviews. I was loosely familiar with some of artists, but each section
was a revelation. Especially appealing to me was the *range* of work -- from finely commercial to somewhat primitive. You
sense a diverse world full of surprise and life -- who could ask for anything more?

Detailed interviews of many lesbian comics authors with excerpts of their work. Sometimes hilarous, sometimes sad, sometimes
resonating strongly in strange places, Dyke Strippers is wonderful, and worth it almost only for the wild cover done by Diane
DiMassa, authoress of Hothead Paisan, Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist.

Laughter helps give you perspective and anyone going through a divorce can use all the perspective (and all the laughs) she

Eat Drink and Remarry is a hilarious little book of very amusing quotes and cartoons. A variety of female authors have contributed
to the text. There is something for every woman no matter how unique the divorce situation. I found myself laughing outloud
in an airport. This book is worth a chuckle every time you visit it. It is a must read for every woman experiencing this life
altering experience. Also, makes a neat gift for therapists, lawyers and accountants. Kriss Ann Loughman
