An Introduction to Logic and Its Philosophy

Possible Worlds

Pluto has been known as a planet up until now. Now it is not known as a planet but as a dwarf ice moon. It has been a mystery, but soon that mystery will be solved. Something monstrously sinister that is too dark and evil had moved about on the planet’s surface. Once again, the ancient door had opened up, and it would close once it was time. The creature had left something behind so it could come back and destroy all life. Somehow, something—an artifact object—had been discovered, and the few were now ready to go where the artifacts wanted them to go. They needed to bring this object back and close the door and seal it before the end came. The team must go and enter into the doorgate and close it forever. Could they do this task, or would they fail?

Doorgate

Survival of the Times

Henry F. Diaz

The book examines potentially important factors that may have affected the Hadley and Walker Circulations and evaluates changes in the Hadley Circulation and the monsoons as simulated by coupled models of past climate conditions, and predicted future conditions under an enhanced greenhouse effect. This book is meant to serve as a fundamental reference work for current and future researchers, graduate students in the atmospheric sciences and geosciences, and climate specialists involved in interdisciplinary research.

The Hadley Circulation: Present, Past and Future

In this comprehensive study of Wittgenstein's modal theorizing, Bradley offers a radical reinterpretation of Wittgenstein's early thought and presents both an interpretive and a philosophical thesis. A unique feature of Bradley's analysis is his reliance on Wittgenstein's Notebooks, which he believes offer indispensable guidance to the interpretation of difficult passages in the Tractatus. Bradley then goes on to argue that Wittgenstein's account of modality--and the related notion of possible worlds--is in fact superior to any of the currently popular theories in this area. In this context, he examines and critiques the work of such figures as Adams, Carnap, Hintikka, Lewis, Rescher, and Stalnaker.

A Study of Wittgenstein's Modal Atomism

The Nature of All Being

Martin Beniston

This book provides a unique, in-depth view of past, present and potential future climatic change in mountain regions, and in particular on the mechanisms which are responsible for this change. Other books which focus on environmental change in mountains focus more generally on the impacts of this change on mountain systems, rather than on the regional features of climatic change itself. The book enters into a high level of detail concerning results of international investigations which involve specialists from numerous climate-related disciplines. The book can be used in an academic and research context, for advanced graduate and doctoral students, as well as researchers working in various domains of relevance to climatic change issues. The book also has relevance in the context of future activities of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in terms of providing up-to-date knowledge of fundamental mechanisms and consequences of climatic change in mountain regions.
