How to Lie with Statistics
by Darrell Huff Irving GeisA 1954 classic that continues to dispel false beliefs and inform the statistically naive. Huff's direct and witty style exposes how advertisers, government and the media mislead their audiences through the misuse of statistics. Huff then explains how the reader can see through the smoke and mirrors to get to the real meaning-- if any-- of what is presented. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
How to Live Forever: Science Fiction and Philosophy
by Stephen R ClarkImmortality is a subject which has long been explored and imagined by science fiction writers. In his intriguing new study, Stephen R.L.Clark argues that the genre of science fiction writing allows investigation of philosophical questions about immortality without the constraints of academic philosophy. He reveals how fantasy accounts of issues such as resurrection, disembodied survival, reincarnation and devices or drugs for preserving life can be used as an important resource for philosophical inquiry and examines how a society of immortals might function through a reading of the vampire myth. How to Live Forever is a compelling study which introduces students and professional philosophers to the possibilities of using science fiction in their work. It includes extensive suggestions for further reading, both fictional and philosophical, and examines the work of such major science fiction authors as Arthur C. Clarke, Frank Herbert, Larry Niven, William Gibson, and Colin Wilson.
How to Lose a Best Friend
by Jordan K. CasomarThis &“important and necessary book for our time&” (Amber Smith, New York Times bestselling author of The Way I Used to Be) confronts the myth of the friendzone as a boy in love with his best friend feels he&’s owed a chance at romance—and she&’s the only one in their lives who disagrees.For as long as anyone can remember, Zeke Ladoja and Imogen Parker have been best friends. Their classmates, their parents, and even the school custodian think that they&’re meant to be together. And that&’s exactly what Zeke wants: for Gen to be his girlfriend. Now that she&’s about to be sixteen (and allowed to date), Zeke is finally going to tell her how he feels—in front of everyone at her birthday party. Imogen loves Zeke with all her heart, but only as a friend. The pressure to be with Zeke has sometimes been overwhelming, but up to this point, she&’s been able to manage it. Then she falls for the new boy, Trevor Cook, and she knows the news will devastate Zeke. The last thing she wants to do is hurt her best friend, but she also resents the fact that no one seems to care about what she wants. The night of Gen&’s party, everything goes wrong. There&’s backlash, most of it directed at Gen, and Zeke feels emboldened. He isn&’t about to give up on his feelings, and he&’ll do whatever it takes to prove that she made the wrong choice…even if it means destroying their friendship. But Gen isn&’t about to give up on fighting for herself and the freedom to love the boy she wants, not the boy she&’s expected to be with.
