A Historical Introduction to the Philosophy of Mind is designed both to provide a selection of core readings on the subject and to make those readings accessible by providing commentaries to guide the reader through initially intimidating material. Each commentary explains technical concepts and provides background on obscure arguments as they arise, setting them in the historical and intellectual milieu from which they emerged. The readings concentrate on providing the student with a solid grounding in the theories of representative figures of the major philosophical movements, from Plato and Aristotle to important recent figures such as Fodor and Dennett. A glossary of key terms is also included.

Flanagan's Flight is the sequel to Peter Cavalier's debut novel, Bank Street. Jerry Flanagan takes us on a nostalgic, humorous and, at times, poignant romp through the 1980s. Some of the pivotal characters from Bank Street return and we are introduced to a new cast of colorful individuals who influence Jerry's life and career. Jerry and Maria are newlyweds in 1978 and are adjusting to married life when the decade of the 1970s closes and gives way to the wild rollercoaster ride of the 1980s. We follow Jerry and Maria as they try to balance work and grad school, switch jobs, and grapple with the angst of buying a home and starting a family. Jerry, having moved to a big-city global bank, initially encounters difficulty adjusting to the changing reality of the banking industry of the 1980s, but eventually settles into a role better suited for himself. His traveling audit assignment ultimately leads him to uncovering the misdeeds of a rogue banker. He encounters turbulence at work and on the home front, and experiences a few close calls during his extensive travels around the country.

By heeding God's call to build an ark, Noah saved a small band of people and animals from extinction. After the great flood, God promised that he'd never again destroy the earth and sealed the covenant with a rainbow. In the biblical story, Noah accepts the covenant in silence. In this retelling of the story, Noah speaks back, promising that humans will not destroy the earth either. But today, the earth's biosphere is in crisis. There is an urgent need for humans to avert a climate catastrophe. Can we renew that covenant to never again destroy the world and reunite the nations of the earth to build an ark for today?
