Описание: DESCRIPTION OF BOOK
The book represents a unique contribution and appeal to the society at large. It touches on the very important practical aspects of logic, especially how logic could be properly and wisely used to avoid or prevent conflicts in inter-human relations, in the social setting.
The author believes that it would be very difficult to find a comparable book of such a practical nature on logic. He has been a keen student and observer of logic and logical reasoning for a long time. He has encountered much problems and frustration with the use of logic in relation to his interaction and dealings with his fellow-beings. The ideas in the book have been culled from his own personal experiences, his own research and study, and considerable amount of time devoted to thinking about logic and logical reasoning.
The ideas in the book represent some of the most important and deepest thoughts of the author and are expected to make the reader realize things he has not known before. It should be a mind-expanding adventure for him.
The most important thing is that the book offers some tip on how to improve one's powers of logical reasoning. It is a treatise on logic and logical reasoning. It provides the answers to such important questions as: What is logic? What is the proper way of logical reasoning? How could harmony and peace in society be achieved through the proper utilization of logic?
The author thinks that thanks to his trained or acquired ability in using logic he has finally found the solution to a very important technical problem, in fact the most important problem in the field, which had been reviewed and approved by field experts and has just been published in an international research journal.
The title had received some publicity from the press.

Описание:
In this thought-provoking new edition of their highly regarded text, authors Cornelius M. Kerwin and Scott R. Furlong help you grasp the dynamics of today's American politics by showing you how rulemaking remains an elemental part of our government system. Rulemaking, Fifth Edition, brings concepts to life with the inclusion of new data, a fresh analysis of interest group participation, and new coverage of the Trump administration's actions from executive orders and key personnel to agencies' responses to changes. An invaluable and accessible guide to an intensely political process, this much-anticipated edition contains the most current scholarship on a crucial yet understudied subject.
New to the Fifth Edition
New scholarship from the past five to six years provides you with the latest research and analysis in rulemaking. Updated information on the Obama administration and the beginning of the Trump Administration puts rulemaking in context and demonstrates how different administrations use this tool. New tables and charts reflect the most recent data available to better illustrate the trends and patterns of rulemaking.
Описание: DESCRIPTION OF BOOKThe world today is a deeply troubled world. Conflicts, wars, violence, terrorism and what-not are the order of the day. People are apparently smarter but the way they lead their lives or conduct their affairs seems to contradict this. Does being smarter also means being smarter at causing troubles?This book not only points out the foibles and foolishness of human beings in general but offers constructive solutions as well. There are also Confucian teachings in the book to guide the guideless and lost human souls who seem hell-bent on making a nuisance and fool of themselves. The book may ridicule and belittle human beings but this is done tastefully, humorously and entertainingly so that we human beings can enjoy laughing at ourselves, feel silly about our antics and actions, change for the better so that even the animals who may have a sense of humor may stop laughing at or despising us. Society may be clamoring for more scientists, engineers, doctors and other skilled professionals to provide solutions to its everyday problems. But the social problems, the problems involving human inter-action, are still plentiful and appear to be getting more complex and intractable. Our political leaders also seem quite powerless in allaying or eliminating them. The author thinks that if this state of affair is allowed to go on uncontrollably, indefinitely, life is going to be more and more difficult and not that worth living. He hopes that the world would be blessed with world peace, harmony and happiness. As a fellow human being, he feels compelled to persuade or coerce his fellow beings to be less self-centered, more considerate, more empathetic, more cooperative and more peace-loving. He feels that there should be more social reformers to write articles and books about our social problems, proposing solutions at the same time, to give talks about all this, and to lead a movement towards a really harmonious, peaceful, cooperative and humane society. As the author has jokingly decried in the third chapter of this book that men are becoming more and more like animals and animals are becoming more and more like men, man hopefully could become less and less like animals so that animals have no chance to be like him at all.As is also stated in the book, some men are so cruel and wild that their associates might be better off living in the real jungle with wild animals. Even if a man were not cruel or wild, he could be self-centered, conceited, superstitious, avaricious, hot tempered, snobbish, duplicitous, in short, having some character defects. Who could imagine that such innocent babes born into this world could have developed into such monstrosities?It is indeed high time for society to pool its effort and resources to seriously tackle all these societal problems head-on.
