Originally published in 1941. Professor Ushenko treats of current
problems in technical Logic, involving Symbolic Logic to a marked
extent. He deprecates the tendency, in influential quarters, to
regard Logic as a branch of Mathematics and advances the
intuitionalist theory of Logic. This involves criticism of Carnap,
Russell,Wittgenstein, Broad and Whitehead, with additional
discussions on Kant and Hegel. The author believes that the union
of Philosophy and Logic is a natural one, and that an exclusively
mathematical treatment cannot give an adequate account of Logic. A
fundamental characteristic of Logic is comprehensiveness, which
brings out the affinity between logic and philosophy, for to be
comprehensive is the aim of philosophical ambition.

This book celebrates one of Oxford's most distinctive areas, close
to the city centre. Previously a slum of workers' cottages, plenty
of pubs, and even some brothels, today it is vibrant and
developing. Jericho was Oxford's first planned suburb, given
particular distinctiveness by its canalside location, and was
thoroughly working class until the latter 20th century. Yet it was
also the cradle of the Pre-Raphaelites, source of the very first
copies of Alice in Wonderland, the catalyst for Inspector Morse, a
nursery of the Oxford music scene, and the literary inspiration for
authors such as Thomas Hardy, R. D. Blackmore, John Betjeman, and
Sir Philip Pullman. This book is a visual celebration with new
pictures, paintings, and illustrations, plus an accessible guide to
the history of Greater Jericho and a nod to its bright future as a
centre for culture.
At the turn of the twentieth century, thousands of Italian
immigrants left their home country for the United States and,
particularly, New York City. A small minority of the immigrants
were members of a criminal syndicate that largely victimized fellow
immigrants. The most common crime was a type of extortion known as
"Black Hand." The methods of extortion were particularly violent,
and included kidnapping, arson, and murder. The New York Police
Department, unable to speak the language and unaware of the
traditions of the immigrants, was virtually helpless in dealing
with them. In 1904, Italian-American Lt. Detective Joseph Petrosino
formed a group of Italian detectives to deal exclusively with the
extortion crimes and the criminal underworld of Italian society in
New York which had become known in the American press as "The Black
Hand Society." This book tells the story of The Italian Squad from
its inception, through Petrisnio's death, to the squad's expansion
into Queens and Brooklyn.
