Aristotle's Modal Logic, first published in 1995, presents an interpretation of Aristotle's logic by arguing that a proper understanding of the system depends on an appreciation of its connection to the metaphysics. Richard Patterson develops three striking theses in the book. First, there is a fundamental connection between Aristotle's logic of possibility and necessity, and his metaphysics, and that this connection extends far beyond the widely recognised tie to scientific demonstration and relates to the more basic distinction between the essential and accidental properties of a subject. Second, Aristotle's views on modal logic depend in very significant ways on his metaphysics without entailing any sacrifice in rigour. Third, once one has grasped the nature of the relationship, one can understand better certain genuine difficulties in the system of logic and appreciate its strengths in terms of the purposes for which it was created.

ELECTRONIC CINEMATOGRAPHY, Achieving Photographic Control over the Video Image is newly back in print for the first time in years. This pioneering book was ahead of its time. This is the book that caused a new generation of filmmakers to think of creating digital cinema and video in creative and cinematic terms. A very popular Cinema Industry reference book and college text book, this book went through several re-printings. ELECTRONIC CINEMATOGRAPHY went out of print when its original publisher left the publishing business. It, never the less, enjoyed vigorous used book sales, commanding high prices and sales volumes as a used collector's book. ELECTRONIC CINEMATOGRAPHY, Achieving Photographic Control over the Video Image is a book that uniquely demystifies video and reveals its real creative potential. Harry Mathias, who has worked successfully in both film and digital cinema, approaches digital cinema cinematography from the point of view of the cinematographer, rather than that of the video engineer. This book shows you how video theory can be applied to creative ends. They relate the image characteristics of video to those of film and demonstrate how those characteristics can be applied to tell dramatic visual stories. ELECTRONIC CINEMATOGRAPHY is filled withe exciting ideas and practical knowledge that, for the first time, provide the hows and whys of realizing both the filmic and special electronic potentials of video equipment. The book requires no previous electronic experience. Included in its detailed tone reproduction in a video image... determining exposure indexes for video cameras... lighting for video... and dealing with the limitations of digital image quality. The future demands a new analysis of the visual techniques that will be required by the improved picture quality of high-definition video and its application to dramatic cinema subjects. This book takes you toward that goal, and teaches you the necessary skills."

Separating mythology from actual events in the life of Butch Cassidy has been made extremely difficult by the many stories told about him by family members, acquaintances, and writers after his presumed death in a Bolivian village. In an exhaustive search of reminiscences, newspapers, and books, Richard Patterson has written the definitive biography of the outlaw whose legend is rivaled only by that of Billy the Kid.

Born to a devout Mormon family in Utah, Robert Leroy Parker demonstrated early on the acquisitiveness and restlessness that would lead him into a criminal life. As a teenager, he was arrested for stealing a saddle. In this same period, he met Mike Cassidy, a cowhand skilled in using a running iron to change livestock brands. Eventually Parker drifted into Telluride, where he met Tom McCarty and Matt Warner. McCarty taught them how to rob banks and trains, laying out for Parker a career path that would lead him to a new name -- Butch Cassidy -- and eventually force him from the country.

Patterson has followed every lead to provide a vivid account of Cassidy's life and has scrutinized the stories of men who claimed to be Butch. Butch Cassidy brings together diverse anecdotes, providing both a wonderful tool for researchers and a lively read.

This celebratory Festschrift dedicated to Charles Kahn comprises some 23 articles by friends, former students and colleagues, many of whom first presented their papers at the international "Presocratics and Plato" Symposium in his honor (European Cultural Center of Delphi, Greece, 3-7 June, 2009). The conference was organized and sponsored by the HYELE Institute for Comparative Studies, Parmenides Publishing, and Starcom AG, with endorsements from the International Plato Society, and the Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, University of Pennsylvania. While Kahn's work reaches far beyond the Presocratics and Plato, it is in these subject areas that the distinction of his scholarship has come to be regarded as virtually unrivaled. The articles contributed to this volume are by some of the most renowned scholars working on these topics today, their breadth and depth bearing witness to his profound impact and influence on the discipline of Ancient Greek Philosophy.
Charles Kahn taught Classics and Philosophy at Columbia University from 1957 to 1965, and has since been teaching in the Philosophy Department of the University of Pennsylvania. He spent a year as Visiting Professor at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, and had additional Visiting Fellowships at Balliol College, Oxford and Clare Hall, Cambridge, and a term as Visiting Professor at Harvard. He is the recipient of several prestigious research grants, from the American Council of Learned Societies (1963/64 and 1984/85), the National Endowment for the Humanities (1974/75 and 1990/91), and the Guggenheim Foundation (1979/80). In 2000 he was elected Fellow of the National Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is the author of "Anaximander and the Origins of Greek Cosmology, The Verb "Be" in Ancient Greek, The Art and Thought of Heraclitus, Plato and the Socratic Dialogue, Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans, and Essays on Being." His latest book, "Plato and the Post-Socratic Dialogue," is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press.
