Abstract

Have you heard about the irritable husband who, seeking to improve his marriage, was told by a doctor to take a calming 10-mile walk each evening, and call back after a month? "Things are fine, I'm very relaxed," the man reported the next month, "but I'm 300 miles from home." Assumptions, suppositions, and theories are necessary to do science or to "do" life but, as this story points out, they can be misleading when made unthinkingly (as they often are). In I Think, Therefore I Laugh John Paulos makes use of a great variety of jokes and stories in providing a profound and witty account of some of the most basic riddles of modern analytic philosophy. The Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein once remarked that "a good and serious philosophical work could be written that would consist entirely of jokes"- one understands the philosophical point only if one gets the joke. Paulos contends that humor and philosophy resonate at an even deeper level (both evince a strong penchant for debunking, for example), and proves his contention through parables, puzzles, and paradoxes dealing with topics ranging from scientific induction to the distinction between intentional and causal explanations. He engages Groucho Marx and Bertrand Russell in a spirited dialogue that flows from their mutual concern with self-reference and their tendency toward skepticism and anarchist feelings. And, he links Wittgenstein himself with Lewis Carroll, both having been preoccupied with nonsense, logical confusion, and language puzzles. To enjoy I Think, Therefore I Laugh requires no advanced knowledge of philosophy, but a hearty appreciation for wit and humor is a must. This informal but brilliant book is not only a lucid introduction to some of philosophy's most perplexing problems, but a thoroughly amusing and entertaining show as well. The dialogue between Groucho Marx and Bertrand Russell is itself worth the price of admission

Abstract: The task facing the designers of information retrieval (IR) systems can be stated very simply: to produce the right kind of system with the right components at the right price. In practice, however, this task is greatly hindered by a lack of understanding and communication between the different groups of specialists working on different parts of the system - a problem exacerbated by the fact that each group uses a different jargon, so preventing the exchange of ideas and expertise. There is thus a need for a comprehensive, unified overview of practical computer-based retrieval, and this book provides one. It describes the various parts and their alternative forms, the relationships between them and how these affect the working of the system as a whole. Topics covered include: user, software, knowledge representation, expert systems, database management systems, hardware, user interfaces.

Abstract

Originally published in 1979 as a title in the Outlines of Modern Librarianship' series this new edition has been expanded and updated in the light of recent developments in this rapidly developing field of librarianship, with particular reference to automation. As a consequence, this edition is substantially more than an outline of the subject. The authors take the reader through a comprehensive exposition of cataloguing - the definitions, arrangement and role of the catalogue: the history of its development; standardization and AACR2; the subject approach via pre-and post-coordinate indexing; analysis; filing rules and methods; the physical forms of the catalogue; the use of the computer in cataloguing; the role of networks; the management of cataloguing; and the relevance of book indexing. There is a detailed index, as well as a list of abbreviations and acronyms and a glossary of terms.
