This is a great place to get a clear introduction to first-order modal logic. It elegantly straddles the line between philosophy and mathematics, without getting bogged down in the details of either (as much of the rest of the modal logic literature seems to). This book, along with Nerode and Shores "Logic for Applications"--which also focuses on tableaux proofs--really shaped my thinking about modal logic.

"This volume is a summary of who Free Will Baptists are and what we believe. It examines our heritage, our beliefs and our ministries. The first chapter gives a brief history of our denomination. Pinson outlines the work of Paul Palmer, Benjamin Laker, Benjamin Randall and other early leaders of our movement. He gives special attention to the connection between North Carolina Free Will Baptists and the English General Baptists. He explains how our beliefs and practices developed during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

"Chapter four addresses our doctrinal history. It examines three doctrinal statements which have greatly influenced what we believe today. They are 'A Declaration of Faith of English People Remaining at Amsterdam,' written by Thomas Helwys in 1611, 'The Standard Confession,' which was adopted by English General Baptists in 1660, and the 'Former Articles,' adopted by Free Will Baptists in 1812.

"Two chapters are devoted to a study of our beliefs today.Chapter two discusses our most important doctrinal beliefs: it emphasizes those doctrines which are distinctive to our movement. Chapter five contains the complete text of our Treatise. This chapter enables the reader to examine carefully our church covenant, our major doctrinal beliefs and some of our most important practices.

"The last section of the book analyzes some of our most important ministries. It summarizes the work of the National Association of Free Will Baptists in Sunday school, Home Missions, Foreign Missions and other areas. Some attention is given to state and local ministries. The final chatper discusses other denominations which have similar beliefs and practices.

"This is the kind of book we have long needed. It is a relatively brief and easy-to-read summary of who Free Will Baptists are, what we believe and what we do. This volume should be required reading for all pastors, missionaries, teachers and others who are involved in Free Will Baptist work on a full-time basis. It should also be required reading for new ministers being licensed or ordained. It should be read by Sunday school teachers, deacons and others involved in local Free Will Baptist churches. Many churches now have orientation programs for new members, and this book could be very useful in such programs. Knowing who we are and what we believe can only help us serve the Lord more effectively."-Thomas Marberry, CONTACT magazine

This book of jokes, riddles and cartoons is perfect for the child in the latter stages of elementary school, as the entries are very funny. I found myself smiling while I read them. Most of our society tends to look at science as serious business, which is true, but society also views scientists as asocial, humorless eggheads, which they are not. All of the scientists that I have known possessed a major segment of jokester, able to appreciate more than the occasional giggle.
These jokes are about science, and as such tend to make it appear less esoteric. That alone is a good thing, but the fact that you can get that and some good laughs makes this book one I strongly recommend for children.

This book has easy to understand diagrams that explain the ways the Earth's resources are distributed. Most importantly, it shows how we will be in serious trouble in the future if we do not change the lifestyles of all consumers.

Had they any value other than that of cue to the public to trigger immediate return on big investment in the publishing business, Geminga should have been on all the best-seller lists since its release.

I hated chemistry in Highschool and College. Later, when I needed to learn more about this subject this is the book I picked. Simply put, the best text on Chemistry I have ever seen, have read it twice and constantly refer to it!

This book was created mostly by the people who survived the Expulsion. Much material gathered in this book has never been made public in America.It is must reading for survivors and their children, at the least.

This is an excellent high interest book for older children with reading problems. I used this book with my RSP students and they loved it! The pictures are spectacular. The children enjoyed learning about the different kinds of bears at a reading level they could handle.

This book is very good for readers with interests in animals andworking on reading. Actually I liked it!!

This book is a great help when writing program notes - my only reservation is that the movements for each work are not listed.
