Mark My Words: Profiles of Punctuation in Modern Literature
Why are Emily Dickinson and Henry James drawn habitually to dashes? What makes James Baldwin such a fan of commas, which William Carlos Williams tends to ignore? And why do that odd couple, the novelist Virginia Woolf and the short story specialist Andre Dubus II, both embrace semicolons, while E. E. Cummings and Nikki Giovanni forego punctuation entirely?

Cause and effect, conditionals, explanations. essays on logic as the art of reasoning well (2011)

The text of each essay presents a story, the main line of development of the ideas, while the footnotes and appendices place the research within a larger scholarly context.

The topic of this volume is the evaluation of reasoning about cause and effect, reasoning using conditionals, and reasoning that involves explanations.
