Epistemology Critical reasoning texts 16 Nov 2009 Have any of my readers either taught or been taught from a good critical reasoning text? If so, can you name it and recount the pros and cons of that text? I’m preparing a subject. Thanks Read More
Administrative Wilkins in Spanish (or Portuguese) 3 Aug 2008 It is an odd thing seeing one’s words in another language. Joao Carlos at Chí Vó, Non Pó has translated my TREE article into Portuguese (I think). Without my permission, though, and probably not the editor’s.

Evolution Edis on Islamic creationism 21 Feb 2008 One of the more curious episodes in recent cultural history is the adoption, word for word, by Islamists particularly in Turkey of the American Christian fundamentalist antievolution schtick.

Not so far as I have heard. Why don’t you contact them and ask (it will make more sense than if I do it).

Oh the huge manatee! Louis
Actually I ordered a copy just after donating a smallish amount to this blog. The site said the book would be available in fall, and I imagined it would just show up in the mail sometime late 2009.

I actually haven’t checked yet if my order is still active.
