The Epistemology of Keith Lehrer
This book is an extensive, self-contained, up-to-date study of Lehrer's epistemological work. Covering all major aspects, it contains original contributions by some of the most distinguished specialists in the field, outgoing from the latest, significantly revised version of Lehrer's theory. All basic ideas are explained in an introductory chapter. Lehrer's extensive replies in a final chapter give unique access to his current epistemological thinking.
Verse with Prose from Petronius to Dante
Verse with Prose distinguishes for the first time some of the most significant uses of mixed forms. Dronke looks at the way prose and verse elements function in satirical works, beginning in the third century B.C. with Menippus. He examines allegorical techniques in the mixed form, giving especially rewarding attention to Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy. His lucid analysis encompasses a feast of medieval sagas and romances, ranging from Iceland to Italy, including vernacular works by Marguerite Porete in France and Mechthild in Germany. A number of the medieval Latin texts presented have remained virtually unknown, but emerge here as narratives with unusual and at times brilliant literary qualities.

The Second World War involved most of the countries of the world and left so many millions dead and maimed, disorganised and devastated through personal and communal loss.

Using their memoirs and diaries, the vitality of their endeavours is reasserted, their successes and failures, victories and indecencies are re-examined, and their magnanimity and the general triumph of the human spirit are celebrated.
The Honors Class
This eminently readable book focuses on the people of mathematics and draws the reader into their fascinating world. In a monumental address, given to the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris in 1900, David Hilbert, perhaps the most respected mathematician of his time, developed a blueprint for mathematical research in the new century.
The 115th New York in the Civil War
The 115th New York began as part of the largest surrender of U.S. troops before World War II and ended as part of the largest successful amphibious landings of U.S. troops before World War II. In between, its odyssey through the American Civil War is unique among Union regiments. Not only did it fight mainly in theaters and battles unknown to all but the most seriously well informed, but it endured mass arrest and a conspiracy of its own officers against its commander. In earning distinction as one of “Fox’s Fighting 300” Union regiments, the 115th fought in campaigns along the Southern coast, joined briefly in the famous combat between Grant and Lee in Virginia, fought alongside Afric...
