Insolubility? -- Further Reading -- Bibliography -- IndexThis is a concise introduction to current philosophical debates about truth. Combining philosophical and technical material, the book is organized around, but not limited to, the view known as deflationism. In clear language, Burgess and Burgess cover a wide range of issues, including the nature of truth, the status of truth-value gaps, the relationship between truth and meaning, relativism and pluralism about truth, and semantic paradoxes from Alfred Tarski to Saul Kripke and beyond. The book provides a rich picture of contemporary philosophical theorizing about truth, one that will be essential reading for philosophy students as well as philosophers specializing in other areas.Princeton foundations of contemporary philosophy.TruthElectronic books.Alfred Tarski.Aristotle.Davidsonianism.Dummettianism.Frank P.

Yet, in order to meet the demands of large-scale construction projects, sand mining is stripping beaches and dunes, destroying environments, and exploiting labor in the process. The authors of Vanishing Sands track the devastating impact of legal and illegal sand mining over the past twenty years, ranging from Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean to South America and the eastern United States. They show how sand mining has reached crisis levels: beach, dune, and river ecosystems are in danger of being lost forever, while organized crime groups use deadly force to protect their illegal mining operations. Calling for immediate and widespread resistance to sand mining, the authors demonstrate that its cessation is paramount for saving beaches, dunes, and associated environments, plus lives and tourism economies everywhere."--Provided by publisher.Sand and gravel mines and miningEnvironmental aspectsCoastsEnvironmental aspectsSea levelEnvironmental aspectsBeachesEnvironmental aspectsSeashore ecologyMines and mineral resourcesEnvironmental aspectsSand and gravel mines and miningEnvironmental aspects.CoastsEnvironmental aspects.Sea levelEnvironmental aspects.BeachesEnvironmental aspects.Seashore ecology.Mines and mineral resourcesEnvironmental aspects.577.69/9Pilkey Orrin H.1934-1099586Longo Norma J.1943-Neal William J.Rangel-Buitrago NelsonPilkey Keith C.1965-Hayes Hannah L.NcDNcDBOOK9910747001203321Vanishing sands3570018UNINA
