The book was planned and written as a single, sustained argument. But earlier versions of a few parts of it have appeared separately. The object of this book is both to establish the existence of the paradoxes, and also to describe a non-Pascalian concept of probability in terms of which one can analyse the structure of forensic proof without giving rise to such typical signs of theoretical misfit. Neither the complementational principle for negation nor the multiplicative principle for conjunction applies to the central core of any forensic proof in the Anglo-American legal system. There are four parts included in this book. Accordingly, these parts have been written in such a way that they may be read in different orders by different kinds of reader.

Probable Cause is a mystery novel with a suspenseful and twisting plot based upon an actual airline crash. Authoritatively written by a pilot, the story immediately establishes a serious moral dilemma for the principal character, an airline pilot that is a woman. It is the story of Captain Anne Ryan, an airline pilot in command of Coastal Airlines flight 193, a DC-9 that inexplicably crashes upon takeoff, killing 47 passengers and nearly herself. Was it an accident? A lengthy investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) concludes that the cause of the crash was pilot error. Later evidence shows that Captain Ryan was under the influence of drugs at the time of the crash, and she is indicted for felony manslaughter. Crippled from grievous injuries suffered in the crash and guilt-ridden with the burden of 47 lives lost at her hands, she must prove her innocence of all charges or face a prison term. She believes that she's been set up, that the aircraft had been tampered with in a manner that leaves no trace, and that someone wanted her dead. But who? Why? The crash is the second fatal tragedy in a month plaguing the ailing airline, and the circumstances are remarkably similar. The first crash had claimed the lives of all aboard, including her friend, Captain Ray Thompson, and pilot error was cited as the cause of his crash as well. Yet had it not been for a last-minute switch of flight crews, at her request, Anne Ryan would have been in command of that flight.Was it also an accident? The notoriety of the two crashes causes financially stricken Coastal Airlines to at last succumb to a bargain-basement takeover engineered by its chief rival, TransCon Airlines. Anne Ryan's crash had tipped the balance, and the financial rewards accrue to TransCon's chief executive officer, Warner Edelbrock, Anne Ryan's former lover. But still more damning evidence surfaces, further frustrating Anne Ryan's frantic efforts to clear herself. The Securities and Exc

Officer Ray Weiss is a cop's son, a cop's grandson. All he's ever wanted is to follow in their footsteps. But when he finds out what the senior officers in Chicago's District 20 have in store for him and the other rookies as "initiation" into their brotherhood, he has to make a choice. Ray's senior partner, Jack Fiore, asks him to break into a jewelry store and steal a few pieces. It's just a little fun---especially because they're set up to be the first cops on-scene to "discover" the crime. No one gets hurt, and everybody's happy: Fiore gets the jewelry, Ray gets to be one of the boys, and the store owner gets his insurance money. Ray doesn't want to do it, but Fiore leaves him no alternative. . . .    It all goes wrong when Ray breaks into the store and finds a corpse instead of his promised reward.  Coincidence, or was that part of the setup, payback for being a reluctant rookie?  And it doesn't end there, because Detective Sloane Pearson is on the case, and if Ray doesn't help her look for the killer, she might discover him. Probable Cause is another gripping read from Theresa Schwegel, the Edgar Award--winning author of Officer Down, whose portrayal of cop culture is as authentic as it comes.

Alice Hoffman’s most magical novel to date—three generations of extraordinary women are driven to unite in crisis and discover the rewards of reconciliation and love. Women of the Sparrow family have unusual gifts. Elinor can detect falsehood. Her daughter, Jenny, can see people’s dreams when they sleep. Granddaughter Stella has a mental window on the future—a future that she might not want to see. In The Probable Future this vivid and intriguing cast of characters confronts a haunting past—and a very current murder—against the evocative backdrop of small-town New England. By turns chilling and enchanting, The Probable Future chronicles the Sparrows’s legacy as young Stella struggles to cope with her disturbing clairvoyance. Her potential to ruin or redeem becomes unbearable when one of her premonitions puts her father in jail, wrongly accused of homicide. Yet this ordeal also leads Stella to the grandmother she was forbidden to meet and to a historic family home full of talismans from her ancestors. Poignant, arresting, unsettling, The Probable Future showcases the lavish literary gifts that have made Alice Hoffman one of America’s most treasured writers.

Probable Cause for Vengeance 1.11

In this important and pioneering book Frederick Newmeyer seeks to explain the variety of languages. He combines the leading ideas of the functionalist and formalist approaches to linguistic typology, advocating principles of Universal Grammar to explain why some language types are impossible, and functional principles to explain why some grammatical features are more common than others.

In Algebra of Probable Inference, Richard T. Cox develops and demonstrates that probability theory is the only theory of inductive inference that abides by logical consistency. Cox does so through a functional derivation of probability theory as the unique extension of Boolean Algebra thereby establishing, for the first time, the legitimacy of probability theory as formalized by Laplace in the 18th century. Perhaps the most significant consequence of Cox's work is that probability represents a subjective degree of plausible belief relative to a particular system but is a theory that applies universally and objectively across any system making inferences based on an incomplete state of knowledge. Cox goes well beyond this amazing conceptual advancement, however, and begins to formulate a theory of logical questions through his consideration of systems of assertions—a theory that he more fully developed some years later. Although Cox's contributions to probability are acknowledged and have recently gained worldwide recognition, the significance of his work regarding logical questions is virtually unknown. The contributions of Richard Cox to logic and inductive reasoning may eventually be seen to be the most significant since Aristotle.
