As for the dark and dangerous places, I have found a few, but obviously have to dig deeper. And I believe in copyrights, I really do, but when no one's willing to sell me the book on the up and up anyway and I already have a DTB copy as it is, I find my ethics get a little wobbly. |

Thought I would mention this course I found on iTunes U: Critical Reasoning for Beginners from Oxford University. It's an analysis of the structure of logical arguments that we all use in everyday life. I find it fascinating, though a bit hard to follow: it's a recording from a live course, and there are exchanges between the teacher and the students but unfortunately you can't hear what the students say, so it's a bit frustrating, but still very interesting.
I just noticed that the website has videos, whereas iTunes U only has audio, plus a pdf file of the slides. Maybe it's easier to follow with the video... |

History of Philosophy fans might also like to check out the "History of Philosophy - No Gaps" at http://www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/humanit...oppodcast.html .
It's a very clear and concise series of talks, in depth but not too technical. Peter Adamson, the speaker, is actually doing a complete series starting with the earliest Greek Philosophers and going on from there. There is also another series put out by Oxford University called "General Philosophy". These are both available on ITunes. Interesting that a lot of these programs rate highly - could ebook distributors please note that a lot of us actually like some serious content. (And we'd also like it in EPUB, not just PDF.) |

Apologies if this has been mentioned in the previous 63 pages ....
For fans of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, there is a sort of "sequel" (or at least follow up book):Zen and Now: On the Trail of Robert Pirsig and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I listened to it as an audiobook, for the travel narrative aspect, although I never read Pirsig's book. |

However, Pirsig himself actually has a "sequel" of sorts himself, called Lila: An Enquiry Into Morals (<---wikipedia linky). Again, thank-you for reminding me about the On The Trail book. Cheers, Marc |
