The second half of the book goes into the details of fuzzy logic and set theory while maintaining the easy style and excellent examples of the previous sections. This book, while intended as a textbook, is quite readable for those who just wish to have better knowledge of fuzzy logic. I suspect that many of the Aristotelian-based classical logicians will be hard-pressed to surpass Klir's clear explanations for their home turf.
Klir delves into the philosophical basis for the existence of fuzzy logic and I feel he does an excellent job. Haack should really read this again and then reconsider her grand statement that "I believe truth does not come in degrees" with some of the open-mindedness evidenced by Klir.
Highly recommended.

All the regular ingredients of the previous stories are here: Political wrangling, personal intrigue, a love story, and of course--a murder.
Cadfael once more is a treasure trove of wisdom. Some of his lines here are classic. Cadfael is a very noble, very humane, world-weary protagonist. Ellis Peter has truly created a detective for the ages in him.
In "St. Peter's Fair" Cadfael is up against one heck of a baffling case. He and Hugh Berengar (my favorite secondary character) team up to try and solve the murder of a visiting merchant. I have no desire to give the ending away. I will only say that "St. Peter's Fair" has the added bonus of a chase scene.
"St. Peter's Fair" is a worthy entry in this series. The more I read of Ellis Peters, the greater my respect for her becomes. I recommend this book highly.

Thus it is that merchants arriving from distant towns for the fair find themselves suddenly embroiled in a dispute between town and cloister - and embroiled rather too deeply for comfort as the town's youth escalate the situation out of hand. And so it is that Shrewsbury (and therefore Brother Cadfael, of course) suddenly finds itself with the mystery of another murder (and various other nefarious goings-on) to solve.
With her characteristic meticulous attention to period detail, Ellis Peters weaves an intricate web of deceit and intrigue into this far from obvious murder mystery. As usual, she balances the political manoeuvrings of the principal parties with the playing out of a separate romantic sub-plot. This serves to keep the reader (and, in this case, Cadfael too) guessing almost up to the very end as to the real drama running through the story and, of course, to the identity of the villain of the piece. Indeed, the reader is well into the nail-biting conclusion to the story before realising fully what has been going on.
Peters' writing style ensures that this book is as enjoyable as Brother Cadfael books ever are. Fans of the mediaeval sleuth may be somewhat disappointed to find that he actually has very little to do here beyond collating the pieces of others' findings but this does not really detract from the tale over all. If the Cadfael books are new to you, I would really recommend reading the first two volumes before any others to truly get the most from them. On the other hand, if you are not interested in reading the whole series but simply want an evocative tale of mediaeval England, then you need look no further than this.

This is an excellent book if you are interested in Ross, St. George, Sackler or AUC. The review on Guadalajara is all right, but all of the others are very marginal. They do provide contact information so that they can be reached for further information, however. The information on what to look for in a school, financial aid, and getting into a US residency is great. I have to say, however, that I have read 95% of this information on the internet many times. This is therefore a good book for someone begining to look into foreign medical school that hasn't yet decided on a school. You will find more detailed information in any medical school information packet than in this book.

Specifics given, about different Presidents, aid in increasing the interest for the reader. Taft having a special tub built for the White House is one such tidbit of trivia that increases interest in learning about the Presidency. The main idea of how to become President is shown in a convoluted way through describing different Presidents' histories and campaigns. This does not diminish the author's ability to bring a complicated issue of becoming and being President from being marvelous
