Your brain will go into a tizzy solving these twisted, perplexing logic puzzles! But untangling them will challenge your mind, expand your knowledge, and develop your powers of deduction and reasoning. Success begins with a process of trial and error: examine the propositions, and logically test one against the other. Some will cancel each other out. Others point to additional information that helps you arrive at the correct answer. Give the six sections a shot: each one contains a different type of puzzle, starts with the simplest, and becomes increasingly intricate. Here's just a sample of what you'll find! By looking at the five statements, figure out in which subject Prince Tal excelled, and in which he did especially well: 1. If he excelled in chivalry, he did especially well in horsemanship. 2. If he excelled in horsemanship, he did especially well in fencing. 3. If he did especially well in horsemanship, he excelled in fencing. 4. If he excelled in fencing, he did especially well in chivalry. 5. If he did especially well in chivalry, he excelled in horsemanship. The answer is number two. Can you figure out why? 96 pages, 5 3/8 x 8 1/4.

That's because it's one man--Grover Cleveland--who was reelected after skipping a term. And that's just an easy warm-up!

We live in an age that is witnessing a growing interest in narrative studies, cognitive neuroscientific tools, mind studies and artificial intelligence hypotheses. This book therefore aims to expand the exegesis of Carroll's "Alice" books, aligning them with the current intellectual environment. The theoretical force of this volume lies in the successful encounter between a great book (and all its polysemous ramifications) and a new interpretative point of view, powerful enough to provide a new original contribution, but well grounded enough not to distort the text itself. Moreover, this book is one of the first to offer a complete, thorough analysis of one single text through the theoretical lens of cognitive narratology, and not just as a series of brief examples embedded within a more general discussion. It emphasises in a more direct, effective way the actual novelty and usefulness of the dialogue established between narrative theory and the cognitive sciences. It links specific concepts elaborated in the theory of cognitive narratology with the analysis of the "Alice" books, helping in this way to discuss, question and extend the concepts themselves, opening up new interpretations and practical methods.
