E-book Masterpieces of the J. Paul Getty Museum : European Sculpture

I forget who first jokingly defined sculpture as something you bump into when you step back to look at a painting.

There are undoubtedly many reasons for this. We are a society geared to experiencing things on a flat plane rather than in …

Versace posed and provoked the basic issues of fashion's role. Versace tantalized us with vulgarity.

E-book Intro to Logic

The ancient Greeks loved to hang around on the stoa, sip some wine, and debate. But at the end of the day, they wanted to sit back and decide who had won the argument.

Thus began the formal study of logic. Many other areas of …

E-book The Pilgrim's Progess

In all my reading of Bunyan, what has gripped me most is his sufering and how he responded to it—what it made of him, and what it might make of us.

I come to John Bunyan with a growing sense that sufering is a normal, useful, essential, and God-ordained element in Christian life and ministry—not only for the sake of weanin…

E-book Working-Class Literature(s) : Historical and International Perspectives

E-book Reinforcement Learning : An Introduction

The idea that we learn by interacting with our environment is probably the first to occur to us when we think about the nature of learning.

Exercising this connection produces a wealth of information about cause and effect, about the consequence…
