{"product_id":"poor-rogers-compendium-roger-barton-9781450513210","title":"Poor Roger's Compendium: Observations by a Master of Nothing","description":"Inspired by the writings of Benjamin Franklin and fueled by 62 years living in the world, \"Poor Roger's Compendium\" is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek short collection of truth bytes, short essays, and observations of various subjects. Its object is not to preach but to stimulate thinking and discussion on these subjects. Its thinking is based on two logical razors: Ockham's and Hanlon's (attr. to Robert Heinlein). William of Ockham was a 14th century English nominalist philospher and Robert Heinlein was a mid-20th century sci-fi writer. Although these razors are quite disparate, combined they are excellent tools for questioning the truth of an idea, concept, or behavior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Barton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1450513212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781450513210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.99w x 0.16d","brand":"Roger Barton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49162475274495,"sku":"9781450513210","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poor-rogers-compendium-roger-barton-9781450513210","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
