Richard Arthur’s Natural Deduction offers a fresh and engaging introduction to the study of logic. Written in lively, accessible prose, Arthur blends modern “informal logic” techniques with classical natural deduction methods, making complex concepts surprisingly approachable.

In Ghost from the Grand Banks, Arthur C. Clarke spins a riveting tale of ambition, technology, and tragedy set around the centennial of the Titanic’s sinking. In a near-future 2012, two competing salvage corporations embark on daring missions to raise the Titanic’s two halves from the ocean floor. As they race against time, they contend with unexpected obstacles—politics, environmental forces, and even mysterious discoveries such as a preserved corpse in a sealed cabin. Clarke blends speculative science, ethical dilemmas, and the lingering ghost of human hubris to ask whether resurrecting the past is a noble act—or a dangerous one.

This Penguin Classics edition gathers two of Dostoyevsky’s most psychologically penetrating novellas. In Notes from Underground, an unnamed narrator, alienated and deeply self-critical, retreats into bitter isolation, railing against society’s pressures and the illusion of rational order. In The Double, a stifled government clerk encounters a man who looks just like him, or perhaps embodies his darker self, probing the thin line between identity, madness, and reality. Ronald Wilks’s translation, aided by Robert Louis Jackson’s introduction, illuminates Dostoyevsky’s themes of alienation, identity, and existential tension with clarity and literary care. — Quick view Add to Cart

Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego is one of Sigmund Freud’s most influential explorations of the human psyche in social contexts, extending his psychoanalytic insights into the realm of groups and collective behavior. In this seminal work Freud probes how individuals’ identities and conscious control are transformed when they become part of a group, addressing the emotional bonds and instinctual forces—what he terms “libidinal ties”—that bind collective entities such as churches, armies, and crowds. By tracing group dynamics to underlying psychological processes like identification, suggestion, and the “herd instinct,” Freud reveals the profound tension between personal autonomy and the instinctive pull of collective life, offering a foundational text in both psychoanalytic theory and social psychology. — Quick view Add to Cart
