Representing and Intervening: Introductory Topics in the Philosophy of Natural Science by Ian Hacking, ISBN 0521282462
This is a lively and clearly written introduction to the philosophy of natural science, organized around the central theme of scientific realism. It has two parts. 'Representing' deals with the different philosophical accounts of scientific objectivity and the reality of scientific entities. The views of Kuhn, Feyerabend, Lakatos, Putnam, van Fraassen, and others, are all considered. 'Intervening' presents the first sustained treatment of experimental science for many years and uses it to give a new direction to debates about realism. Hacking illustrates how experimentation often has a life independent of theory. He argues that although the philosophical problems of scientific realism can not be resolved when put in terms of theory alone, a sound philosophy of experiment provides compelling grounds for a realistic attitude. A great many scientific examples are described in both parts of the book, which also includes lucid expositions of recent high energy physics and a remarkable chapter on the microscope in cell biology.

Nerve and Muscle by David J. Aidley, ISBN 0521805848
An understanding of the physiology and function of nerve and muscle is fundamental to our knowledge of how the human body and the bodies of other animals function. In the third edition of this highly readable and concise introductory textbook, the authors begin with a discussion of the nature of nerve impulses as electrical events. They go on to consider communication between nerve cells via synaptic transmission, and finally discuss the nature of muscular contraction, relating muscle cellular structure to contractile function. This is a subject that continues to generate exciting discoveries and this edition includes new material that reflects this, including some of the experimental evidence. The reader will find up-to-date detail of the molecular structure of ion channels and the molecular basis of muscular contraction. Nerve and Muscle is essential reading for all students taking university courses in neurobiology, physiology, cell biology, and preclinical medicine.

Time and the Literary by Karen Newman, ISBN 0415939607
The immediacy of information technology has supposedly annihilated time and the literary. Email, cell phones, satellite broadcasting seem to have ended the long-standing tradition of encoding our experience of time through writing. Paul de Man's seminal essay "Literary History and Literary Modernity" and newly commissioned essays on everything from the human genome to grammatical tenses argue, however, that the literary constantly reconstructs our understanding of time. From eleventh-century France or a science-fiction future, "Time and the" "Literary" shows how these two concepts have been and will continue to influence each other.

Classic Strategies for Finding Investment Gems, Updated to Address the Realities of Today's Markets
Legendary investment pioneer Benjamin Graham called it his "margin of safety." Warren Buffett used its principles to make millions for patient investors, and amass one of the largest personal investment fortunes in history. It is value investing, and its simple principles of success have allowed investors for nearly a century to buy companies whose stocks were underpriced, then reap the rewards as those companies' true value was recognized and rewarded by the marketplace.
First published in 1989, "Value Investing Today has since become a staple of modern value investing. Now in its revised and updated third edition to reflect today's broad advances in behavioral finance, technology, communications, and productivity, let it provide you with: New chapters on the psychology of investing and the investor-driven focus on corporate governance Updated information on why value investing continues...
