These are family memories, the record of Jane Austen's life shaped and limited by the loyalties, reserve, and affection of nieces and nephews recovering in old age the outlines of the young aunt they had each known. They still remembered the shape of her bonnet and the tone of her voice, and their first-hand accounts bring her vividly before us. Their declared partiality also raises fascinating issues concerning biographical truth, and the terms in which all biography functions.

David Hume's Enquiry concerning Human Understanding is the
definitive statement of the greatest philosopher in the English
language. His arguments in support of reasoning from experience, and
against the "sophistry and illusion"of religiously inspired
philosophical fantasies, caused controversy in the eighteenth century and are strikingly relevant today, when faith and science continue to clash.
The Enquiry considers the origin and processes of human thought,
reaching the stark conclusion that we can have no ultimate
understanding of the physical world, or indeed our own minds. In either
sphere we must depend on instinctive learning from experience,
recognizing our animal nature and the limits of reason. Hume's calm
and open-minded skepticism thus aims to provide a new basis for
science, liberating us from the "superstition" of false metaphysics and relegion. His Enquiry remains one of the best introductions to the study of philosophy, and his edition places it in its historical
and philosophical context.
The narrator of Cat's Cradle purports to be engaged in compiling a responsibly factual account of what certain interested Americans were doing at the precise moment the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Through correspondence with the three children of the late Felix Hoenikker, Nobel Prize winner and so-called ''father of the atomic bomb,'' he evolves a portrait of the man in relation to his family and the community.
