These essays have been written to honor W. W. Bledsoe, a scientist
who has contributed to such diverse fields as mathematics, systems
analysis, pattern recognition, biology, artificial intelligence,
and automated reasoning. The first essay provides a sketch of his
life, emphasizing his scientific contributions. The diversity of
the fields to which Bledsoe has contributed is reflected in the
range of the other essays, which are original scientific
contributions by some of his many friends and colleagues. Bledsoe
is a founding father of the field of automated reasoning, and a
majority of the essays are on that topic. These essays are
collected together here not only to acknowledge Bledsoe's manifold
and substantial scientific contributions but also to express our
appreciation for the great care and energy that he has devoted to
nurturing many of the scientists working in those scientific fields
he has helped found. Robert S. Boyer Austin February, 1991 ix

This volume provides a broad and comprehensive overview of current theory and research in the field of nonverbal behavior and details the major contemporary research areas within it. The contributions, written by prominent researchers in this area of study, consider nonverbal behavior from a broad perspective, focusing on the fundamental psychological processes that underlie the phenomenon. Several meanings of nonverbal behavior are employed throughout the volume and the contributors, whose work represents disparate research traditions and methodologies, consider biological and neuropsychological approaches, cognitive processes, gestures, facial expressions, and other symbolic behavior. The papers are united by a shared conviction that nonverbal behavior represents an important phenomenon with implications both for people's understanding of their own phenomenological and emotional worlds and for the nature of their social interactions with others.

The 100 Greatest Jews in Sports takes the greatest Jewish athletes
in all major sports from the past eleven decades and ranks them
against each other, using a limited scope and quantitative
criteria. Each decade has seen someone new emerge as the greatest
Jewish athlete, from boxer Abe Attell to baseballs' Sandy Koufax
and Ken Holtzman, to golf's Amy Alcott, to footballs' Harris
Barton. Sports profiled include baseball, basketball, hockey,
tennis, golf, auto racing, boxing, soccer, football, swimming, and
many others. Silverman takes a scholarly approach to ensure
reliability and validity of the statistics given. The author
identified the most common categories of statistics in which the
highest paid athletes in all sports had excelled, and he assigned
numeric values to reflect the performance categories. That provided
a proportional representation of the most important individual
accomplishments in sports. By applying those numbers to the records
of selected athletes, each was ranked against the other.
Additionally, the author asked selected experts of each sport to
perform the same ranking with no specific criteria, and the results
were the same. Filled with historic photographs of the athletes
profiled, and interspersed with interesting tidbits of each
athlete's personal life and career, this book is certain to be of
interest to the casual to serious sports enthusiast alike.
