The contributors to this collection of essays offer a stimulating
and varied range of approaches to this developing area. The volume
includes discussions on the concept of education and such related
topics as indoctrination and the nature and scope of the theory of
education. Aspects of education including the field of moral
education, and issues which are reflected prominently in the
curricula of such subjects as Mathematics and Science in schools
and colleges are considered.
This guide to the use of surface analysis techniques, now in its second edition, has expanded to include more techniques, current applications and updated references. It outlines the application of surface analysis techniques to a broad range of studies in materials science and engineering. The book consists of three parts: an extensive introduction, a techniques section and a section on applications. Each chapter has been written by specialists in the field. This book is aimed at industrial scientists and engineers in R&D seeking a description of available techniques in a concise but informative style. It is invaluable as a comprehensive text for scientists and engineers attending training courses and workshops. The level and content of this book make it ideal as a course text for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in materials science, materials engineering, physics, chemistry and metallurgy.
First published in 1975, The Correspondence Theory of Truth
examines the simplest statements of empirical fact and establishes
what we can mean when we say that such statements are true. In
particular, the author has considered whether any or all of
beliefs, sentences, statements, or propositions are properly said
to be true or false. He proceeds to examine what we mean by the
term 'fact' and what possible relation between facts and beliefs
(or their linguistic embodiments) could be meant by the term
'correspondence'. The second part of the book is a critical survey
of important contemporary accounts of truth. The author examines
Tarski's semantic theory to see if it offers a satisfactory
reconstruction of the essence of the traditional notion of
correspondence, then J.L. Austin's recent and famous version of the
correspondence theory and some criticisms of it by Professor P. E.
Strawson. A final chapter summarizes the viable content of the
correspondence theory and suggests what problems about truth still
remain for discussion if the theory is accepted. This book will be
an essential read for students and scholars of Philosophy.

Education, like every other important branch of knowledge, has its
underlying philosophical problems. It is these problems and the
attempts to solve them which together make up the philosophy of
education. This book, first published in 1957, provides a simple
explanation and illustration of what philosophy can (and cannot) do
for educational thinking. This title will be of interest to
students of the philosophy of education.
This guide to the use of surface analysis techniques, now in its
second edition, has expanded to include more techniques, current
applications and updated references. It outlines the application of
surface analysis techniques to a broad range of studies in
materials science and engineering. The book consists of three
parts: an extensive introduction to the concepts of surface
structure and composition, a techniques section describing 19
techniques and a section on applications. This book is aimed at
industrial scientists and engineers in research and development.
The level and content of this book make it ideal as a course text
for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in materials
science, materials engineering, physics, chemistry and metallurgy.
