Aces and Eights
Author: Ralph Estes
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1493049631
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Our images of the big names and places of the Old West often come from the tales of gunfights and violence that were sensationalized by dime novels and yellow journalism in the 19th century and the myths that came from those stories live on today. But in reality many of these fabled characters of the Wild West were gamblers first and gunfighters second— more invested in poker than in the momentary fury of the shootout. Aces and Eights tells story of the role of poker in the lives of these legends, and offers a portrait of the places where they lived and frequently died. This book offers both the “facts” of these lives and the true tales of the game and the gamblers—and the entertaining “tall tales” that have survived to this day.

Book Description
Jake Leggs is in Phoenix when he answers a misdirected text message. Before he knows it, his curious nature gets him knee deep in a murder-for-hire scheme. A woman wants to kill her husband. When he finds out why, he tends to agree with her. It gets worse. Not only is the husband a gun runner, he’s tied in with the Mexican drug cartels, among others. He’s not your run-of-the-mill bad boy. Another problem was that Jake’s girlfriend/lawyer was going to have issues about his participation in this matter. When the rich, aggrieved potential client presented him with an obscene amount of money, he overlooked his reservations and took the case. He had no intention of killing the guy. Maybe he could just neutralize him. Jake had no idea how many other people wanted to do more than just neutralize anybody who had anything to do with this deal, especially powerful government entities on both sides of the border.

Reasoning About Knowledge
Author: Ronald Fagin
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 9780262562003
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
Reasoning about knowledge—particularly the knowledge of agents who reason about the world and each other's knowledge—was once the exclusive province of philosophers and puzzle solvers. More recently, this type of reasoning has been shown to play a key role in a surprising number of contexts, from understanding conversations to the analysis of distributed computer algorithms. Reasoning About Knowledge is the first book to provide a general discussion of approaches to reasoning about knowledge and its applications to distributed systems, artificial intelligence, and game theory. It brings eight years of work by the authors into a cohesive framework for understanding and analyzing reasoning about knowledge that is intuitive, mathematically well founded, useful in practice, and widely applicable. The book is almost completely self-contained and should be accessible to readers in a variety of disciplines, including computer science, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy, cognitive science, and game theory. Each chapter includes exercises and bibliographic notes.
