Paul Tempest Energy economics is, in national policy, a vital point of inter­ section where Government, industry, finance, research and many other interests meet.

This reviewer recommends the publication as a corre...

Thanks to author Smith we have here a high, wide and impressive, if not particularly definitive, demonstration that pragmatism was and still is the golden pinnacle of American philosophy. The author's survey, which regrettably eliminates the complementary work of British humanist Schiller, the operational theory of physicist Bridgman and the prediction theory of Justice Holmes, amply elaborates on and soundly elucidates the work of the four ma...

In this groundbreaking study, Susan Handelman examines the theological roots of the modern science of interpretation. She defines current structures of thought and patterns of organizing reality, clearly distinguishes them from previously reigning Hellenic modes of abstract thought, and connects them with important elements of the Rabbinic interpretive tradition.

Foner, probably America's most prolific and perceptive writer on Afro-American history, has produced a biting, massive, sometimes even encyclopedic, narrative of black life and culture after 1820. . . . Foner concludes that oppression was [the slaves'] lot but resistance was their legacy. In so doing, he rejects recent arguments that plantation slavery operated as a paternalistic system or that radical abolitionists were visionaries. A book of...

THE REAL THING by Isaac Asimov Back in 1939, when I was still a teenager, I began to write (and publish) a series of stories about robots which, for the first time in science fiction, were pictured as having been deliberately engineered to do their job safely. They were not intended to be creaky Gothic menaces, nor outlets for mawkish sentiment. They were simply well-designed machines. Beginning in 1942, I crystallized this notion in what I ca...
