Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
It was Celtic missionaries from Ireland who converted the heathen
English in the AD sixth century and at the time Ireland was known
as center of learning. Well after AD 700, if a monk in Europe could
read and write both Latin and Greek, he was most probably of Irish
provenance. But by 820, the Celtic Church had practically ceased to
exist. Set against the age of the Viking terror, Hammeraxe traces
the story of the wronged younger son of a Viking chieftain and his
spirited Moorish wife. How she taught him to war with both bow and
horse in the Moorish fashion. It tells the story of how he became a
chieftain in his own right. How a chance friendship on an island
near France led to the violent Viking invasion of Ireland. Why a
captive Irish monk betrayed his country and became a Norse
chieftain. How the power of the five kings was broken and why the
Celtic Church was destroyed. A sweeping tale of flames, terror,
betrayal, and love, Hammeraxe tells the story of the Viking
invasion of Ireland in the ninth century and how it affected life
in Ireland permanently.
For the first time Truth: A Contemporary Reader brings together
essays that have shaped two aspects of a fundamental philosophical
topic: the nature of truth and the value of truth. Featuring 22
essays, this up-to-date reader includes seminal work by leading
figures in contemporary analytic philosophy. It charts the
development of the central 'grand proposals' about the nature of
truth, and subsequently how their influence gradually diminished in
face of new theories developed in the 20th and 21st-centuries. The
reader also demonstrates how truth is often taken to be valuable in
various ways, in particular as the norm of correctness for belief
and assertion, and the relationship between truth and other
epistemic values. With introductory overviews to each group of
related papers complemented by guides to further reading, this
reader introduces the central debates, familiarizes students with
the most important work in the field and covers pivotal theories of
truth including: - correspondence theories - coherentism,
pragmatism, verificationism - deflationary, primitivist, and
pluralist theories Moreover, by showing how thoughts about truth
and value bear heavily on one another, Truth: A Contemporary Reader
provides new opportunities for understanding and advancing the link
between these central topics. This is an essential collection for
anyone studying or working in metaphysics, epistemology, and the
philosophy of language today.

"An exciting story that] shines light on the inner workings of
the fledgling Google and on the personalities of its
founders."--"The Daily Beast"
In its infancy, Google embraced extremes--endless days fueled by
unlimited free food, nonstop data-based debates, and blood-letting
hockey games. The company's fresh-from-grad-school leaders sought
more than old notions of success; they wanted to make all the
information in the world available to everyone--instantly. Google,
like the Big Bang, was a singularity--an explosive release of raw
intelligence and unequaled creative energy--and while others have
described what Google accomplished, no one has explained how it
felt to be a part of it. Until now.
As employee number 59, Douglas Edwards was a key part of Google's
earliest days. Experience the unnerving mix of camaraderie and
competition as Larry Page and Sergey Brin create a famously
nonhierarchical structure, fight against conventional wisdom, and
race to implement myriad new features while coolly burying broken
ideas. "I'm Feeling Lucky "captures the self-created culture of the
world's most transformative corporation and offers unique access to
the emotions experienced by those who virtually overnight built one
of the world's best-known brands.
"Edwards does an excellent job of telling his story with a fun,
outsider-insider voice. The writing is sharp."--"Boston
Globe"
"An affectionate, compulsively readable recounting of the early
years of Google."--"Publishers Weekly"
