Many of the problems of philosophy are of such broad relevance to human concerns, and so complex in their ramifications, that they are in one form or another perennially present. In the course of time, they yield to philosophical study and may be reexamined by each age in the light of its broader scientific knowledge and deepened ethical and religious experience. Thus, one who approaches the study of philosophy in the hope of understanding the best of what it affords will look for both fundamental interpretations and contemporary achievements. Written by a group of distinguished philosophers, the Foundations of Philosophy Series aims to exhibit some of the main problems in the various fields of philosophy as they stand at the present stage of philosophical inquiry.

Is it accurate? Absolutely I was there.""--John Aquilino, former Director, NRA Public Education""Ricochet is right on target. Feldman's behind-the-scenes memoir vividly describes America's firearms debate and struggle to win in extraordinary detail. I thoroughly enjoyed it.""--John W.

Elm is more than just a cutting-edge programming language, it's a chance to upgrade the way you think about building web applications. Once you get comfortable with Elm's refreshingly different approach to application development, you'll be working with a clean syntax, dependable libraries, and a delightful compiler that essentially eliminates runtime exceptions. Elm compiles to JavaScript, so your code runs in any browser, and Elm's best-in-class rendering speed will knock your socks off. Let's get started! Elm in Action teaches you how to build well-designed, highly performant web applications using the Elm language. As you read, you'll follow an application called Photo Groove that will show you how to structure your application's domain and behaviour, how to maintain a pleasantly modular architecture, and how to deliver a quality product using the Elm language. Along the way, you'll learn how to interact smoothly with browser functionality, servers, and JavaScript libraries, as well and picking up a few tricks for building fluid, intuitive user experiences. If you're new to functional programming, you'll also gain a practical understanding of techniques that will make you a better developer no matter what you're writing! Written for readers comfortable with web application development in JavaScript. No experience with Elm or functional programming required.
