Book Description
For over thirty years Heloise's column "Hints from Heloise" has been an American institution, read by millions daily. In All-New Hints from Heloise, her first new household-hints book in almost a decade, Heloise has created an indispensable home reference guide that focuses specifically on today's changing life-styles. The operative word today is convenience--getting what has to be done accomplished in the limited time available. You will still find an abundance of the time-tested household hints from Heloise so many have come to expect, from removing spots and stains to caring for household plants and fixing squeaky floors. In addition, you will also find scores of hints on using and maintaining household appliances that simply didn't exist in most homes a decade ago. Organized by subject, and cross-referenced with a comprehensive index, All-New Hints from Heloise provides up-to-date advice on everything from home care inside and outside to travel, entertainment, children, pets, and more. This is the first household self-help book to take readers beyond the traditional concerns of the past and help prepare them to overcome the hurdles of the '90s.

Book Description
A Wittgensteinian Way with Paradoxes examines how some of the classic philosophical paradoxes that have so puzzled philosophers over the centuries can be dissolved. Read argues that paradoxes such as the Sorites, Russell’s Paradox and the paradoxes of time travel do not, in fact, need to be solved. Rather, using a resolute Wittgensteinian ‘therapeutic’ method, the book explores how virtually all apparent philosophical paradoxes can be diagnosed and dissolved through examining their conditions of arising; to loosen their grip and therapeutically liberate those philosophers suffering from them (including oneself). The book contrasts such paradoxes with real, ‘lived paradoxes’: paradoxes that are genuinely experienced outside of the philosopher’s study, in everyday life. Thus Read explores instances of lived paradox (such as paradoxes of self-hatred and of denial of other humans’ humanity) and the harm they can cause, psychically, morally or politically. These lived paradoxes, he argues, sometimes cannot be dissolved using a Wittgensteinian treatment. Moreover, in some cases they do not need to be: for some, such as the paradoxical practices of Zen Buddhism (and indeed of Wittgenstein himself), can in fact be beneficial. The book shows how, once philosophers’ paradoxes have been exorcized, real lived paradoxes can be given their due.
