If you have more than one computer in your home, you should have a net- work. I used to consider that statement an opinion, but it’s so logical that I now think of it as a fact of nature. Nobody has ever presented a convincing (to me) argument that supports keeping multiple computers isolated from each other. Using and managing multiple computers is easier if you create a network. You don’…

Credit is part science, part art, and part gut-feel. The trick is to get the right mix.While there is no one absolute right way to handle the credit, collections, and accounts receivable functions, there are a few that are totally and irrefutably wrong. It is the mission of this book to identify both for the reader. For the last eight plus years, I have been lucky enough to spend my days …

This is a historical essay, not an encyclopedia: it expresses one person’s view of cognitive science as a whole. It’s driven by my conviction that cognitive science today—and, for that matter, tomorrow—can’t be properly understood without a historical perspective. In that sense, then, my account describes the field as it is now. It does this in a second sense too, for it features va…
