This book reclaims logic as a branch of philosophy, offering a self-contained and complete introduction to the three traditional systems of classical logic (term, sentence, and predicate logic) and the philosophical issues that surround those systems. The exposition is lucid, clear, and engaging. Practical methods are favored over the traditional, and creative approaches over the merely mechanical. The author’s guiding principle is to introduce classical logic in an intellectually honest way, and not to shy away from difficulties and controversies where they arise. Relevant philosophical issues, such as the relation between the meaning and the referent of a proper name, logical versus metaphysical possibility, and the conceptual content of an expression, are discussed throughout. In this way, the book is not only an introduction to the three main systems of classical logic, but also an introduction to the philosophy of classical logic.

Introduction to Global Plate Tectonics II is the second of a five part series covering the subject of plate tectonics, paleogeography, and the drifting and build out of continents. Each book was designed as a picture guide containing many images extracted from scientific journals written by research professors on the subject matter. Text content was written to help explain technical terms, converting the terms into a more understandable language for those interested in learning about geological sciences but have not yet mastered the terminology or definitions. Images were redrawn by adding color and texture to highlight key events explained by the text. Part II covers the development of the North American basement continuing through to present day with a peek into the future arrangement of the continents. Chapters on Alaska, the Appalachian Mountains, Western US, Mexico, and South American geologic histories are included in this part.
Books I, II, and III are presented as a picture guide series intended to introduce
the reader to a basic understanding of global plate tectonics, and the processes
by which the continents were formed. In Book I, the topics of basic plate tectonics
