Widely praised as a founder of modern semiotics and of the
pragmatist tradition in philosophy, Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914)
spent over forty years developing a philosophical system that
addresses the fundamental problems of Western metaphysics,
epistemology, and value theory. Although never formally completed,
what emerges from Peirce's writings is a distinctive system that,
through an innovative semiotic or theory of signs and cognition,
combines a thoroughgoing form of empiricism with a robustly realist
metaphysics that emphasizes the mind-independence of laws and other
universals. Peirce's Empiricism: Its Roots and Its Originality
explains this marriage of empiricism with realism by tracing the
roots of Peirce's thought in the history of Western philosophy,
with particular attention paid to his predecessors in the
empiricist and the common sense traditions. By purging modern
empiricism of its nominalistic metaphysics and its Cartesian
assumptions about mind and knowledge, and by combining it with
insights from sources as diverse as Duns Scotus and Charles Darwin,
Peirce reinvents the idea that all our knowledge depends on sense
perception while reaffirming the place of philosophy as a
foundational field of inquiry. In Peirce's Empiricism, Aaron Bruce
Wilson defends an interpretation of Peirce's philosophical work as
forming a systematic whole, and develops the connections between
Peirce, Reid, and the British empiricists. Wilson provides focused
analyses of Peirce's accounts of experience, habit, perception,
semeiosis, truth, and ultimate ends. This book will be of great
value to students and scholars with interests in Peirce, American
philosophy more broadly, modern philosophy, and semiotics.

History Of The Malaria Epidemic In Brazil From The Mosquito
Invader.
This report presents results from the independent evaluation of a
field operational test using a fleet of heavy trucks outfitted with
a prototype integrated crash warning system. This effort was
conducted as part of the U.S. DOT's Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety
Systems (IVBSS) program. The system tested included rear-end,
lane-change/merge, and lane departure crash warning functions. The
goals of the evaluation were to assess safety impact and driver
acceptance, and to characterize the prototype system's warning
capabilities. Eighteen volunteer drivers from a commercial fleet
operated the 10 equipped heavy trucks, accumulating 600,000 miles
over a 10-month period. The test period consisted of 2 months of
baseline driving, when the system was disabled, and an 8-month
treatment period, when the system was enabled and warnings were
presented to the drivers. Comparisons were made between baseline
driving and the treatment period to determine the effect of system
use on driver behavior and performance.

The two most recent presidential elections exposed a deep and
expanding polarization of the American public. Unfortunately, the
two major political parties aren't helping to resolve this
conflict. In fact, they created the conflict and are perpetuating
it. There is no serious debate within the political parties on the
four moral issues that are the basis of this Culture War. They have
been transformed into articles of faith. Committed Democrats will
be for abortion, gun control, separation of church and state and
gay marriage. Their Republican counterparts will be against all of
them. Disarming the Culture War makes the case that a majority of
Americans are not satisfied with the positions the political
parties offer on these issues. A 'silent majority of Americans are
against abortion and gay marriage but are in favor of gun control
and the separation of church and state. This Culture War is a
divisive stalemate with serious long-term consequences, and
citizens who have been silent for far too long have an obligation
to speak up now. dialogue that is necessary if we are to find our
way beyond this Culture War.
