It is by now commonplace that analytic epistemology has moved beyond its oftlamented obsession of safeguarding the analysis of knowledge from Gettier cases. One outflow of post-Gettier epistemology is the scrutiny of the social dimensions of knowing and believing. There are lively debates about testimony, assertion, disagreement, group knowledge, collective practices of inquiry, epistemic divis...

martingale convergence theorem (for square integrable martingales) and the optional stopping theorem are proved here, with many examples. The remaining four chapters are on more general random processes; here we have stationary processes, diffusions, renewal theory and queueing theory. My feeling is that these chapters are less successful than the earlier ones. For one thing, there are already ...

Resistance, plainly spoken, refers to the problems encountered by patients when they attempt to address and master feelings and experiences that had been previously avoided or diminished. It has been central to psychoanalytic and dynamic accounts of treatment for well over a century, both as a means of gauging how the process of treatment is proceeding and as a target of treatment in its own ri...

In 1999, Richard Gordon, at that time Professor of Radiology at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, published a two-volume work under the ambitious title The Hierarchical Genome and Differentiation Waves: Novel Unification of Development, Genetics and Evolution. Eighteen years later, Gordon and his wife and former colleague Natalie present the differentiation waves theory to a broader public....

ducing a very admirable text-book on general medicine there is not the slighest doubt. The book consists of two moderate-sized volumes in royal octavo, and is in every way admirably printed and got up, in the way we have become accustomed to associate with the books published by Mr. Young J. Pentland. A difficulty lies, however, in classifying the volumes. It has no pretensions to be a System l...

in 1921 within the New York School of Social Work. The Bureau served the triple purpose of providing a clinic for the treatment of nervous or difficult children, a research unit for investigation into problems of normal and abnormal psychology, and a field for the practical training of social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists. The Bureau was maintained in its virginal form for five and o...

Book reviews are a most relevant service to the reader community, a platform to promote the invaluable contributions of the book authors to the readers, and last but not least an opportunity for the reviewer to learn more about the currently available literature and the current state of a research field. Over time the book reviews will complement the growing knowledge base supporting database r...

COMMUNICATIONSTO THE EDITOR 551 arteriovenous oxygen content difference (C[a-v]02) equals 3; and the fractional concentration of oxygen in the inspired gas (F1o2) equals 0.40. From the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, the arterial oxygen saturation equals 0.90. Since C(a-v)O, equals 3, the venous oxygen saturation (Sv02) equals 0.75 approximately. Using these figures, the QS/QT equals 0.502. T...
