Anselm's proof, which was never the "ontological argument" attributed to him, emerges as engaging with current philosophical issues concerning existence and scientific explanation. Because every observable thing has a beginning, it can be deduced that there is always in reality something than which a greater cannot be thought, which exists necessarily. It follows that its non-existence is inconceivable. Anselm then proves that this is the God in whom he believes, who alone so truly exists that He could not be thought not to exist.

"This book addresses the contemporary disillusion with truth, manifest in sceptical relativism.

A review article on books by: Christopher H. Achen, Interpreting and Using Regression ([all Newbury Park, Calif: Sage] 1982); Michael S. Lewis-Beck, Applied Regression: An Introduction (1980); William D. Berry & Stanley Feldman, Multiple Regression in Practice (1985); James Jaccard, Robert Turrisi, & Choi K. Wan, Interaction Effects in Multiple Regression (1990); Eun Sol Lee, Ronald N. Forthofer, & Ronald J. Lorimor, Analyzing Complex Survey Data (1989); & Larry J. Schroeder, David L. Sjoquist, & Paula E. Stephan, Understanding Regression Analysis: An Introductory Guide (1986 [see listings in IRPS No. 59]). A common critique of all these texts, which range from introductory to advanced topics, is their brief & cryptic nature, lack of examples, & lack of explanatory power. The book by Aldrich & Nelson, however, does provide excellent background on logistic regression models. 6 References. L. Baker
