A drop of the hard stuff for the holidays? Brain workout for the beach? Try
the paperback of Robert Audi’s Epistemology: A Contemporary Introduction to the
Theory of Knowledge. Even the title makes you feel that little bit more of an
intellectual—understanding the slippery concepts in the science wars seems
within reach. Good introduction to how we know what we know. Published by
Routledge, £12.99, ISBN 0415130433.
