Begging the Question: Circular Reasoning as a Tactic of Argumentation (Contributions in Philosophy)
Douglas N. Walton

Greenwood Press, 1991

This book offers a new theory of begging the question as an informal fallacy, within a pragmatic framework of reasoned dialogue as a normative theory of critical argumentation. The fallacy of begging the question is analyzed as a systematic tactic to evade fulfillment of a legitimate burden of proof by the proponent of an argument. The technique uses a circular structure of argument to block the further progress of dialogue and, in particular, ...

New approach but worth getting the hang of!
Love this book! Tried the ground beef mix and all the recipes for Week One so far, and they're all winners. My husband is still raving about the Peaches and Cream Stuffed Pork Chops! It took about 5-6 hours to cook one week's worth the first time, but I think I'll get faster after I get the hang of marathon cooking. Since I still do "regular" cooking some nights, one week's worth of Joni's ...

"Begging for Change" summarizes Robert Egger looking back on his experiences (first running successful night clubs, then a non-profit kitchen and training program) and offering his critique of the $800 billion non-profit world in general. A key Egger point is that non-profits need to ask: "Are you ...

Dekok and the Begging Death (Dekok Mystery Series)

A. C. Baantjer, H. G. Smittenaar

Intercontinental Publishing, 1999

Amsterdam=criminal? Lucky for us!
Since I recently moved to Amsterdam and I always loved to read criminal stories, Baantjer still stands on number one of my booklist. Witty, without useless points or statements that make the story unclear, it's easy and entertaining to read. His stories always give you the feeling "it may have happened like that". Yet the police work is not that realistic of course (but hey, on which series or ...

Begging as a Way of Life
Alexander Kwesi Kassah

Despite frantic efforts by the various governments of Ghana to stop begging in Accra, there is a never-ending tendency of poor people, including people with mobility difficulties, to parade the principal streets of the city begging for money. While begging may be attributed to a great extent to poverty, it seems also that the ways in which disabled people justify begging is responsible for its sustenance. This book provides an understanding of ...

How to Have Him Begging for More

Anna Maxted

Thorsons, 1999

Self-help for laughs
Before she penned Getting Over It and Running In Heels, Anna Maxtet wrote How to Have Him Begging for More. With a touch of ironic humor, Maxtet gives us a guide to turning your man into a love slave. Sensuous garments, dirty talk and tantric sex are among the things one must do to keep him wanting more. Maxtet's humor makes it a bit difficult to take this book seriously. However, it is much more ...

Holger Weiss

This study focuses on the conditions of poverty and the debate among Muslims in Ghana, a West African country with a substantial—but largely economically and politically marginalized—Muslim population. Most of this population views poverty is a situation for “ordinary” poor people who seek to make marginal gains in income to avoid ever-threatening destitution and social disintegration. Most of these “ordinary” poor people, especially ...
