Preaching to the Corpse: An Advice Column Mystery
The most fun in the book, I thought, came from the bitterness of the search. One church lady denounces a female candidate, at one point, because she believes the job should go to a man. "We just aren't built the same way," she explains. A man, meanwhile, is hostile to a candidate he suspects is gay.
After several fun twists and turns, the book ends in an improbable, but exciting, way that makes Preaching to the Corpse, all in all, a very fun ride.
The Inner Game of Chess: How to Calculate and WinEvery player has heard the saying, "Chess is 99 percent tactics." It isn't. It's 99 percent calculation. But until now there has never been a book devoted entirely to this most mysterious and essential chess technique.
This book examines both the technical and practical aspects of how to think ahead -- the selection of candidate moves, the evaluation of end positions, finding the proper move order, and the like.
The focus of this book is on structural representations, in particular their hierarchicalness and their branching direction, and structure sensitivity is argued to be highly variable both within and across languages and consequently an unlikely candidate for a defining property of human language.
