A definitive reference for resolving the dilemma of application
testing and debugging--one of the biggest time commitments in a
programmer's daily routine--this book rescues readers from
substandard application testing practices. It commences with
several chapters that provide an overview the debugger's basic
features, then covers common debugging scenarios.
Most Perl programmers know about the Perl debugger--the nifty
little built-in utility that you can use to fully debug any
programs that you write. Inside the interactive debugger
environment, you're prompted for commands that let you examine your
source code, set breakpoints, dump out function call stacks, change
values of variables, and much more. It's so convenient that some
programmers run it just to test out Perl constructs as they create
a program. But although it's on their radar, not many Perl
programmers take the time to master the debugger. That's where the
"Perl Debugger Pocket Reference" comes in.
This little book provides a quick and convenient path to mastery
of the Perl debugger and its commands. Written by a core member of
the Perl debugger development team, it's an ideal quick reference
to debugger commands, as well as a detailed tutorial on how to get
started. The "Perl Debugger Pocket Reference" provides complete
coverage in a conveniently small package.
Maybe you write code so clean you never have to look at it
twice. Or perhaps you'd rather focus your energies on writing clean
code, rather than learning about the debugger. But if you need to
learn about the Perl debugger in a hurry, the "Perl Debugger Pocket
Reference" is the book you'll want to have close by. And you can
always keep a copy on hand to share with programmers who need it
more than you do.
O'Reilly's Pocket References have become a favorite among
programmers everywhere. By providing a wealth of important details
in a concise, well-organized format, these handy books deliver just
what you need to complete the task at hand. When you've reached a
sticking point in your work and need to get to asolution quickly,
the new "Perl Debugger Pocket Reference" will get you back on the
right track.
Ancients and moderns alike have constructed arguments and assessed
theories on the basis of common sense and intuitive judgments. Yet,
despite the important role intuitions play in philosophy, there has
been little reflection on fundamental questions concerning the sort
of data intuitions provide, how they are supposed to lead us to the
truth, and why we should treat them as important. In addition,
recent psychological research seems to pose serious challenges to
traditional intuition-driven philosophical inquiry. Rethinking
Intuition brings together a distinguished group of philosophers and
psychologists to discuss these important issues. Students and
scholars in both fields will find this book to be of great value.
Reading these arcane poems will resurrect any interest that has
been buried Allow your creativity to stretch elastically and
explore exotic places that eagerly wait for your exigent arrival.
Climb this gravitational mountain without a credulous promise to
return to what you consider reality Guaranteed to inspire your

The World Naked Bike Ride is a global protest against oil
dependency and urban pollution, promoting greater cycling safety on
our roads, and encouraging body freedom for everyone. This book
visually describes the environmental awareness event that is the
WNBR, the history of how it started, the people who take part, and
the motivations behind this very public and urgent demonstration.
Including 250 photographs and images. Written and compiled by

Naked hiking is an exciting and healthy activity which can be
enjoyed by everybody, male or female, of any age, almost anywhere.
Perhaps you've wondered whether you could to it too, and if so how,
or where might you begin? Or maybe you are an experienced naked
hiker already, and feel like stretching your wings a little further
by reading about other people's naked adventures in the great
outdoors. Many people may be surprised to discover that hiking
naked in public spaces is fully legal and actively supported in
many countries all around the world. It is also an activity which
is practiced by a large number of people in many different
locations, from gently meandering around sunny lakesides, to easy
rambling across rolling countryside, to the very tops of rocky
alpine peaks. This book brings together some of the best writers on
the subject, experts in their field, to share their intimate
knowledge of naked hiking with you. Included are naked hiking
reports, fully illustrated with pictures, from Nicole Wunram
(author of "Nacktwandern"), Stephen Gough (the Naked Rambler), Olle
Strand (author of "Sol, halsa, gladje"), Richard Foley (author of
"Active Nudists"), Stuart Pitsiligo (author of "Naturist, Red in
Tooth and Claw"), and many others. Including over 80 full colour

To what degree should we rely on our own resources and methods to
form opinions about important matters? To what degree should we
depend on various authorities, such as a recognized expert or a
social tradition? In this provocative account of intellectual trust
and authority, Richard Foley argues that it can be reasonable to
have intellectual trust in oneself even though it is not possible
to provide a defence of the reliability of one's faculties, methods
and opinions that does not beg the question. Moreover, he shows how
this account of intellectual self-trust can be used to understand
the degree to which it is reasonable to rely on alternative
authorities. This book will be of interest to advanced students and
professionals working in the fields of philosophy and the social
sciences as well as anyone looking for a unified account of the
issues at the centre of intellectual trust.

In his widely influential two-volume work, Warrant: The Current
Debate and Warrant and Proper Function, Alvin Plantinga argued that
warrant is that which explains the difference between knowledge and
true belief. Plantinga not only developed his own account of
warrant but also mapped the terrain of epistemology. Motivated by
Plantinga's work, fourteen prominent philosophers have written new
essays investigating Plantingian warrant and its contribution to
contemporary epistemology. The resulting collection, representing a
broad array of views, not only gives readers a critical perspective
on Plantinga's landmark work, but also provides in one volume a
clear statement of the variety of approaches to the nature of
warrant within contemporary epistemology, and to the connections
between epistemology and metaphysics. Positions covered include
internalism and externalism, reliabilism, coherentism and
foundationalism, virtue theories, and defensibility theories. Alvin
Plantinga responds to the essays in his own contribution.
Gambling on God brings together a superb collection of new and
classic essays that provide the first sustained analysis of
Pascal's Wager and the idea of an infinite utility as well as the
first in-depth look at moral objections to the Wager.
In this book Foley offers a major new theory of rationality. His aim is to escape the `doldrums of Descartes' by lowering the standard for what is rational from his impossibly demanding level of certainty. Foley takes a belief's being rational as a matter of its seeming from some perspective to be objectively likely to be true. This makes for an attractive mix of subjective and objective components in his concept of rationality. The subjective component makes rationality attainable; the objective component preserves the discipline of external constraint.
