"classical falacies developed by students of logic"

Guides to Straight Thinking, With 13 Common Fallacies.

Chase, Stuart

Early in 1941, the famed British Eighth Army was on the route to victory in North Africa. Just a few months later, this same army was on the verge of total defeat, as the Germans had won victory after victory and were threatening to overrun Egypt and the Middle East.Here is the classic biography of the man who masterminded this great turnabout, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, commander of the German Afrika Korps. The man who burned Hitler's order to execute British raiders and who gave Allied prisoners the same food and medical treatment as his German troops. The tough general who personally conducted reconnaissance under fire in an open car while his tank commanders hid in armored turrets.The author of this book, Brigadier General Desmond Young, fought against Rommel in North Africa, was captured by him, and after his release at the end of the war visited Rommel's family and talked with many of his fellow officers. Thus, he is able to tell us about intrigues that went on in the German High Command during the war, he is able to give a blow-by-blow description of such decisive battles as Tobruk and El Alamein, and he is able to give personal anecdotes about Rommel and to sort out the facts from the legends that have sprung up around this extraordinary general.

Historical Fiction

Here is an important book that puts forth an operational theory of creativity, extracted from numerous tape recorded group experiments in vivo, i.e, as they happened, which gave new insight into the underlying psychological factors at work in the formation of new, workable ideas. As the book states, Synectics theory holds the following hypotheses : 1.Creative efficiency can be markedly increased if we understand the psychological process by which they operate ; 2. in creative process the emotional component is more important than the intellectual, the irrational more important than the rational ; 3. it is these emotional, irrational elements which can and must be understood in order to increase the probability of success in a problem-solving situation. The theory as I take it has been validated in numerous companies throughout the world. If you're someone who wants to look away from traditional design methodologies and involve a little purpose driven psychology in your company's process of solutions creation, do read this book. --Ronald George, Amazon review

"getting students to work motivated"

Education for What is Real

Kelley, Earl C.

This book is an attempt to relate the complicated data of linguistic science to the equally complicated purposes of the course in English for college freshmen. It tries to do more than that: the intent is to give practical advice on matters of concern to the freshman English course, whether these are touchable by the rigorous procedures of linguistic science or not, and many of them are not. But throughout the book the point of view is single, and it is that of linguistic science.
