Paradoxes from A to Z,Second EditionParadoxes from A to Z,Second Edition

This updated second edition is the essential guide to paradoxes and takes the reader on a lively tour of puzzles that have taxed thinkers from Zeno to Galileo and Lewis Carroll to Bertrand Russell. Michael Clark uncovers an array of conundrums, such as Achilles and the Tortoise, Theseus' Ship and the Prisoners' Dilemma, taking in subjects as diverse as knowledge, ethics, science, art and politics.
Clark discusses each paradox in non-technical terms, considering its significance and looking at likely solutions. Including a full glossary, Paradoxes from A to Z is a refreshing alternative to traditional philosophical introductions.

In the earlier volumes of this survey of the historical transformations of those imagined forms that I am calling the "masks" of God, through which men everywhere have sought to relate themselves to the wonder of existence, the myths and rites of the Primitive, Oriental, and Early Occidental worlds could be discussed in terms of grandiose unitary stages. For in the history of our still youthful species, a profound respect for inherited forms has generally suppressed innovation.

The Firearms DictionaryThe Firearms Dictionary

Primarily designed for the shooter, hunter, firearms hobbyist, The Firearms Dictionary offers a single source of reference or many of the terms that are either hard to understand or which have never been completely explained in any of the popular texts. The Firearms Dictionary differs from the usual dictionary in that it goes beyond the mere defining of a term or word. Wherever possible the textual matter, as well as the photographs and the drawings, further explain the term itself and its relationship with other terms of our gun language.
