This book tackles a hitherto neglected topic by presenting Ireland as very much a part of the Black Atlantic world. It shows how slaves and sugar produced economic and political change in Eighteenth-century Ireland and discusses the role of Irish emigrants in slave societies in the Caribbean and North America.

Learn how to develop your reasoning skills and how to write well-reasoned proofs

Learning to Reason shows you how to use the basic elements of mathematical language to develop highly sophisticated, logical reasoning skills. You’ll get clear, concise, easy-to-follow instructions on the process of writing proofs, including the necessary reasoning techniques and syntax for constructing well-written arguments. Through in-depth coverage of logic, sets, and relations, Learning to Reason offers a meaningful, integrated view of modern mathematics, cuts through confusing terms and ideas, and provides a much-needed bridge to advanced work in mathematics as well as computer science. Original, inspiring, and designed for maximum comprehension, this remarkable book:

• Clearly explains how to write compound sentences in equivalent forms and use them in valid arguments
• Presents simple techniques on how to structure your thinking and writing to form well-reasoned proofs
• Reinforces these techniques through a survey of sets—the building blocks of mathematics
• Examines the fundamental types of relations, which is "where the action is" in mathematics
• Provides relevant examples and class-tested exercises designed to maximize the learning experience
• Includes a mind-building game/exercise space at www.wiley.com/products/subject/mathematics/

This book chronicles the life journey of a devout steward of God. It is an intimate and honest self portrait of how God has had a hand in her life decisions; that is, from the tragic death of her father at a very young age to the beautiful birth of her triplet grandchildren. However, even more importantly, it affirms how God has a hand in each of our lives. All we have to do is listen, be still and be willing to get off the roller coaster of self-destruction with our busy and hectic lives. Have you ever lost trust in God, especially when there is a crisis or major change in your life, such as death, losing your job or divorce? Have you ever questioned if God is real? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this book merits your time and attention. It is a short but powerful book which helps you to identify the enemies of your soul and shows you how to conquer these enemies, such as doubt, fear, or obsessive worrying; that is, with insightful step-by-step instructions. This book was written to be inspirational and if it helps one person, the author maintains that it will have served its purpose.
