Since she first gave voice to the struggles of a generation of women with "Up the Sandbox", Anne Roiphe has been a unique chronicler of how we live in relationships and in families. In this text, Roiphe offers a defence of married life from the perspective of a wife and mother who survived the 1950s, the sexual revolution and the women’s movement. Drawing upon a range of examples from history, literature and popular culture - ranging from Jane Austen’s Emma to Bill and Hillary Clinton - as well as her own two marriages, Roiphe looks at the state of wedded union from an emotional as

In Error, Nicholas Rescher presents a fresh analysis of the occurrence, causality, and consequences of error in human thought, action, and evaluation. Rescher maintains that error-avoidance and truth-achievement are distinct but equally important factors for rational inquiry, and that error is inherent in the human cognitive process (to err is human). He defines three main categories of error: cognitive (failure to realize truths); practical (failure related to the objective of an action); and axiological (failure in evaluation), and articulates the factors that contribute to each. His discuss

This collection of essays by prominent Canadian political scientists and philosophers examines why the Charlottetown Accord failed to resolve Canada’s constitutional problems and explains the design and fate of the Accord as reflected in the theories and political forces that framed it. Canada’s fifth effort at "mega-constitutional politics" was a period of popular discussion and leadership negotiation, that ran from the defeat in 1990 of the Meech Lake Accord through to the Charlottetown Accord and the referendum of 26 October 1992. "Constitutional Predicament" explores the refere

The Kurdish Predicament in Iraq is a political analysis of events in Iraq since 1992, based on the author’s extensive travels in Kurdistan and interviews with Kurds who participated in the government.

Gunter provides an objective analysis, with the hope that it will lead to a better understanding of both the continuing tragedy in Iraqi Kurdis
