Thousands of sightings have been made at this Scottish Loch over the centuries and are still being made today. But can they all be genuine? If as some believe, Loch Ness harbours a species of unknown creatures then why haven't they been found and catalogued? In this sophisticated day and age where satellites in space can read the print of a newspaper held by a man in the street we still don't know what secrets are held in this deep Scottish loch.

Sir Peter Scott, internationally renowned naturalist and president of the World Wildlife Fund, was convinced that the Monster existed. So were senior scientists at London's Natural History Museum and Chicago University; they lost their jobs because they refused to renounce their belief in the creature.

Drawing extensively on new material, Gareth Williams takes a wholly original look at what really happened in Loch Ness. A Monstrous Commotion tells the story as never before: a gripping saga populated by colourful characters who do extraordinary things in pursuit of one of evolution's wildest cards.

The New Psychometrics
Author: Paul Kline
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 131772464X
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Many psychological factors are little more than statistical descriptions of particular sets of data and have no real significance. Paul Kline uses his long and extensive knowledge of psychological measurement to argue that truly scientific forms of measurement could be developed to create a new psychometrics. This would transform the basis of psychology and change it from a social science to a pure science.

The Afterloch
Author: Spinnaker Weddington
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1493116398
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 709
Book Description
The Afterloch is the second narrative collection of the Unleash The Loch series. Primarily mental philosophy, it establishes a narrative which exists mostly in the minds of those who are stuck in situations without knowing what has happened. Cursed or blessed with unconsciousness and a lack of being able to immediately remember and reflect upon where they have been and what has happened to them, very little communication and incidence ensues and they all end up somewhat trapped in the philosophical mentalities they are snagged into by being void of any connection to any true fictional reality. If no-thing much is happening, all they can really do is 'think' and 'think' they do; but much of their inner lives is philosophy, religion, and social -judicial histrionicism. Essentially nothing is really happening in terms of conversation and incidence. But what unravels is how even when seemingly nothing is happening, so much can be happening inside peoples' minds. Moreover something is happening in terms of their contexts. More a concourse of philosophy and thinking than any true narrative entertainment, what unravels stands in difference to the consistent fictional element of the earlier book and predicates a somewhat sinister expos on the problems of living a life in the mind. At bottom if fiction is not happening, philosophy is. And if such is in somewhat uncomfortable situations, fanaticism is bred.

Hegel
Author: Michael Inwood
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 135156403X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 620
Book Description
In this clear, critical examination of the ideas of one of the greatest and most influential of modern philosophers, M.J. Inwood makes Hegel's arguments fully accessible. He considers Hegel's system as a whole and examines the wide range of problems that it was designed to solve - metaphysical, epistemological theological and political. He concentrates especially on the logical and metaphysical ideas which underpin the system and which supply the key to understanding much of what is obscure in Hegel's thought. Throughout the book, M.J Inwood reconstructs Hegel's thought by arguing with him. He examines Hegel's arguments and restates his views precisely and clearly. He also conveys the impressive unity of Hegel's system and its links with the thought of such philosophers as Aristotle, Spinoza and Kant.

The Nature of Explanation
Author: Peter Achinstein
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198020767
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Offering a new approach to scientific explanation, this book focuses initially on the explaining act itself. From that act, a "product" emerges: an explanation. To understand what that product is, as well as how it can be evaluated in the sciences, reference must be made to the concept of the explaining act. Following an account of the explaining act, its product, and the evaluation of explanations, the theory is brought to bear on these issues: Why have the standard models of scientific explanation been unsuccessful, and can there be a model of the type sought? What is causal explanation, and must explanation in the sciences be causal? What is a functional explanation? The "illocutionary" theory of explanation developed at the outset is used in discussing these issues, and contrasting philosophical viewpoints are assessed.
