It is widely believed in philosophy of science that nobody can claim that any verdict of science is forced upon us by the effects of a physical world upon our sense organs and instruments. The Quine-Duhem problem supposedly allows us to resist any conclusion. Views on language aside, Quine is supposed to have shown this decisively. But it is just false. In many scientific examples, there is simply no room to doubt that a particular hypothesis is responsible for a refutation or established by the observations. Fault Tracing shows how to play independently established hypotheses against each other to determine whether an arbitrary hypothesis needs to be altered in the light of (apparently) refuting evidence. It analyses real examples from natural science, as well as simpler cases. It argues that, when scientific theories have a structure that prevents them from using this method, the theory looks wrong, and is subject to serious criticism. This is a new, and potentially far-reaching, theory of empirical justification.

Happy Anniversary N64! It's been twenty years since every kid growing up in the 90s lost their mind when they received an N64. Whether it was for your birthday, on Christmas morning or your bar mitzvah, the Nintendo 64 changed your life. The folks at ScrewAttack are no exception. To them, the 64 continues to be one of the greatest inventions known to man. With that kind of importance, it only made sense to relaunch the Video Game Vault series with the N64 leading the way. Following in the vein of their hit series "Video Game Vault," ScrewAttack's debut book takes a look at one of the most important systems in history. The ScrewAttack team covers their favorite games for Nintendo's iconic console while providing quirky personal stories that these games helped create. From the traditional fan-favorites, to the games everyone loved to hate, the Vault is back and it has it all.
