சென்னை 'ஆனந்தபோதினி'மாதப்பதிப்பிலும், காரைக்குடி 'குமரன்' வாரப்பதிப்பிலும் பத்தாண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பு நான் எழுதியிருந்த இலக்கியக் கட்டுரைகளில் இருபத்திரண்டைத் தொகுத்து 'ஆனந்தக்குமரன்'என்னும் பெயரால் வெளியிட்டுள்ளேன். கட்டுரைகளில் பழமையும் புதுமையும் விரவியிருத்தலால் பழமை பாராட்டுவோர்க்கும் புதுமை பார்ப்போர்க்கும் இந்நூல் ஏற்புடையதாகும் என்றெண்ணுகிறேன். 'ஆனந்தக்குமரனை'ஆர்வமுற எடுத்து அச்சிட்டுதவிய காஞ்சி 'தமிழ்க்கலை'ஆசிரியரும் என் நண்பரும் ஆகிய வித்வான் அ. மு. பரமசிவானந்தர்க்கும் அச்சகத்தார்க்கும் எனது மனமார்ந்த நன்றி உரியதாகும். இயற்கைவளஞ் சான்ற மலைகள் எந்நாட்டு மாந்தர்க்கும் இன்பம் விளைப்பனவாம். தமிழ்நாட்டில் அடுக்கடுக்காக ஓங்கி உயர்ந்த குன்றுகளையும், அவற்றினின்று பொங்கி வழிந்து இறங்கிய அருவி களையும் கண்டு களிப்புற்ற பண்டைத் தமிழ் மக்கள், ஆண்டு இறை நலம் சிறந்து இலங்கக் கண்டார்கள். இத்தகைய தெய்வமணம் கமழும் மலைகளுள் தமிழ் முனிவன் வாழும் பொதியமலை தலைசிறந்ததாகும். மஞ்சுலாவும் அம்மலை முடியில் விளங்கும் வெண்மதியின் தண்ணொளியும், அம்மலைச்சாரலி லமைந்த நறும் பூம்பொழில்களில் தவழ்ந்து திரியும் தென்றலின் இனிமையும், கருமலையினின்று இழியும் வெள்ளருவியின் வனப்பும் மாந்தர் கண்ணையும் கருத்தையும் ஒருங்கே கவர்வனவாம்.

During his term as President of APA-LS/Division 41, James Ogloff organized a comprehensive program of research reviews in the area of the law and psychology. Taking Psychology and Law into the Twenty-First Century is the product of that program. In these pages top scholars contribute chapters covering a wide range of topics including jurisprudence, competency, children, forensic risk assessment, eyewitness testimony, jurors and juries, lawsuits, and civil law. Also included is an introductory chapter by the editor. The result is a unique and comprehensive treatment of the issues at the confluence of these disciplines.
Data fusion or information fusion are names which have been primarily assigned to military-oriented problems. In military applications, typical data fusion problems are: multisensor, multitarget detection, object identification, tracking, threat assessment, mission assessment and mission planning, among many others. However, it is clear that the basic underlying concepts underlying such fusion procedures can often be used in nonmilitary applications as well. The purpose of this book is twofold: First, to point out present gaps in the way data fusion problems are conceptually treated. Second, to address this issue by exhibiting mathematical tools which treat combination of evidence in the presence of uncertainty in a more systematic and comprehensive way. These techniques are based essentially on two novel ideas relating to probability theory: the newly developed fields of random set theory and conditional and relational event algebra. This volume is intended to be both an update on research progress on data fusion and an introduction to potentially powerful new techniques: fuzzy logic, random set theory, and conditional and relational event algebra. Audience: This volume can be used as a reference book for researchers and practitioners in data fusion or expert systems theory, or for graduate students as text for a research seminar or graduate level course.
This book compares two competing theories of human nature: the more traditional theory espoused in different forms by centuries of western philosophy and the newer, Darwinian model. In the traditional view, the human being is a hybrid being, with a lower, animal nature and a higher, rational or “spiritual” component. The competing Darwinian account does away with the idea of a higher nature and attempts to provide a complete reduction of human nature to the evolutionary goals of survival and reproduction. Whitley Kaufman presents the case that the traditional conception, regardless of one's religious views or other beliefs, provides a superior account of human nature and culture. We are animals, but we are also rational animals. Kaufman explores the most fundamental philosophical questions as they relate to this debate over human nature—for example: Is free will an illusion? Is morality a product of evolution, with no objective basis? Is reason merely a tool for promoting reproductive success? Is art an adaptation for attracting mates? Is there any higher meaning or purpose to human life? Human Nature and the Limits of Darwinism aims to assess the competing views of human nature and present a clear account of the issues on this most pressing of questions. It engages in a close analysis of the numerous recent attempts to explain all human aims in terms of Darwinian processes and presents the arguments in support of the traditional conception of human nature.
H.R.P. Dickson had the good fortune to spend many years among the Badawin, living and travelling with them as one of them in their own tents.

The Arab of the Desert is truly a wealth of information, informed by personal insight and anecdotes.
