Saturn: Black Iron Prison is a poetic meditation on the vision of Philip K. Dick and some of the major themes at the heart of his works: the difficult nature of reality or being able to grasp or even prove it, humanity versus simulacra, the plastic nature of time, his strangely beautiful notion that truth will be imprinted on discarded things rather than within the pages of official texts, paranoia and mental illness, alternate realities, implanted memories, advertising and commerce as control, etc. The italicized titles of these 269 poems are all phrases taken directly from the novels and stories of PKD as well as his Exegesis.

LOGIC: THE ESSENTIALS concentrates on the fundaments of introductory logic. Practical in orientation and content, Essentials is loaded with class-tested, proven practice exercises. This new text is based on the classic and bestselling textbook, A Concise Introduction to Logic, and nearly all of the exercises in the correlative chapters, so central to the effectiveness of that text, have been retained to ensure more than enough practice for students to master the central concepts. The book focuses largely on deductive logic, but it contains sufficient treatment of induction to provide a solid footing for informal fallacies. The result is a contemporary approach--more focused, more practical, less theoretical--built on a tradition of precise, elegant, and clear presentation of the subject matter of logic, both formal and informal.

The dictionary lists each character from Pynchon's fiction up through his most recent novel, including the most likely etymology of each name. In addition, the thorough introduction examines Pynchon's character names as a part of his greater literary strategy, establishing a set of categories through which most of the names may be understood.
