The rain fell softly on the day that she was to be married...Sometimes the longing for the old untouched days at Rutherford would return to her; the innocence of it all, the feeling that England would never change...

The philosophy of Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) is very important at every stage of the history of modern American thought. It informs William James's evolutionary metaphysics, John Dewey's theory of logic, W.V.O. Quine's naturalism, and Richard Rorty's notion of the Linguistic Turn. Similarly, many Continental philosophers, like Jurgen Habermas, Karl-Otto Apel, Jacques Derrida, and Umberto Eco, have developed Peirce's semiotic logic as central to their own philosophical views. Yet until now there has been a yawning gap in the literature on what is arguably the most essential idea in...

Violet Rose is the first book in The Rose Trilogy, which is set on the East End of Long Island in a resort town on the East End. The palpable animosity between summer visitor and local resident is vividly depicted.

The ocean itself is a metaphor for the love/hate turbulence in the lives of the characters. They encounter danger and lust. Malevolent storms beset them, both in tempests of weather and anguish of heart as the encroaching sea sweeps across their world.

Compelling intrigue and characters join Elizabeth, a New York City widow in her 60s, in "There's a Small Hotel," and its sequel, "Secrets of a Small Hotel." She returns to the small Hotel Marcel, in this, the third of the series. A new, five-star hotel, The Majestic, has been built directly next to the two-star Hotel Marcel, and an intense rivalry between the two explodes.

A Qatari sheikh, member of the conglomerate that owns The Majestic, arrives with entourage, including his beautiful daughter who is determined to shed her burka. She does so, much to the outrage of her father, who...
