Summary

In the anthology 'Linotype Mechanism,' readers are presented with a rich tapestry of perspectives on a pivotal technology in the history of printing and publishing. This collection traverses a broad spectrum of literary styles, from technical analysis and historical overview to personal reflections and speculative essays, underscoring the multifaceted impact of the linotype machine on both the industry and culture at large. The volume shines in its ability to weave together these diverse narratives into a cohesive exploration of the mechanism's legacy and future potential, offering invaluable insights without overly focusing on any single contributor. The contributing authors, Raymond Means and Alvin Garfield Swank, bring to the collection a remarkable depth of knowledge and experience. Their backgrounds, one deeply rooted in the technical and engineering aspects of printing machines, and the other in the historical and cultural ramifications of publishing technologies, together manifest a comprehensive examination of the linotype's significance. Through this anthology, they align themselves with both the historical evolution and the ongoing dialogue surrounding technological advancements in the literary world, presenting a unified yet varied exploration of the theme. 'Readers interested in the confluence of technology, history, and literature will find 'Linotype Mechanism' an essential addition to their shelves.

    **The fully revised edition of Rupert Sheldrake's controversial science classic, from the author of the bestselling Dogs That Know When Their Owners are Coming Home, celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2021!**
    
    After chemists crystallised a new chemical for the first time, it became easier and easier to crystallise in laboratories all over the world. After rats at Harvard first escaped from a new kind of water maze, successive generations learned quicker and quicker. Then rats in Melbourne, Australia learned yet faster. Rats with no trained ancestors shared in this improvement.
    
    Rupert Sheldrake sees these processes as examples of morphic resonance. Past forms and activities of organisms, he argues, influence organisms in the present through direct connections across time and space.Individual plants and animals both draw upon and contribute to the collective memory of their species.
    
    Sheldrake, now Director of the Perrott-Warwick Project supported by Trinity College, Cambridge, reinterprets the regularities of nature as being more like habits than immutable laws. Described as 'the best candidate for burning there has been for many years' by Nature on first publication, this updated edition will raise hackles and inspire curiosity in equal measure.

    What Is First Order Logic
     
    First-order logic is a collection of formal systems that are utilized in the fields of mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science. Other names for first-order logic include predicate logic, quantificational logic, and first-order predicate calculus. In first-order logic, quantified variables take precedence over non-logical objects, and the use of sentences that contain variables is permitted. As a result, rather than making assertions like "Socrates is a man," one can make statements of the form "there exists x such that x is Socrates and x is a man," where "there exists" is a quantifier and "x" is a variable. This is in contrast to propositional logic, which does not make use of quantifiers or relations; propositional logic serves as the basis for first-order logic in this sense.
