Arguing that good legal reasoning remains the best device by which we can ensure that judicial impartiality, the rule of law, and social trust and peace are preserved, Thomas F. Burke and Lief H. Carter present an accessible and lively text that analyzes the politics of the judicial process. Looking at the larger social and institutional contexts that affect the rule of law - including religious beliefs and media coverage of the courts - Reason in Law uses cases ripped from the headlines to illustrate its theory in real-world practice.

John Dewey is celebrated for his work in the philosophy of education and acknowledged as a leading proponent of American pragmatism. His philosophy of logic, on the other hand, is largely unheard of. In Dewey's New Logic, Burke analyzes portions of the debate between Dewey and Bertrand Russell that followed the 1938 publication of Dewey's Logic: The Theory of Inquiry. Burke shows how Russell misunderstood crucial aspects of Dewey's philosophy of logic that are centrally relevant to contemporary developments in philosophy and cognitive science. Burke explores ways that logic today has progressed beyond Russell and is approaching Dewey's broader perspective. "No scholar, thus far, has offered such a sophisticated and detailed version of central themes and contentions in Dewey's Logic. This is a pathbreaking study." --John J. McDermott, editor of The Philosophy of John Dewey "I know of no better analysis of the conflict between Russell and Dewey on the nature of logic and its objectives. Burke's work is controversial in the best sense: it questions established views and opens up new vistas." --Sidney Ratner, Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University

With the environment now at the top of the political agenda, industry's precarious relationship with nature has never been more open to scrutiny. John Elkington, co-author of the bestselling "Green Consumer Guide", and Tom Burke, Director of Green Alliance, argue that although many people regard industry and technology as environmental vandals, it is only by harnessing their commercial energies that we can protect our fragile planet. But it must be the right industry and the right technology. "The Green Capitalist" shows how major international companies are seeing a concern for the environment lead to improved commercial performance. The book concludes with ten steps that all businesses can take to turn environmental problems into profits. John Elkington has visited 300 companies worldwide as an authority on environmental strategies for business. Tom Burke was a member of the UK National Committee for European Year of the Environment and served on the Environment Panel of Industry Year 1986.
