Description:
This book provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the
work of Willard van Orman Quine, the most important and influential
American philosopher of the post-war period. An understanding of
Quine's work is essential for anyone who wishes to follow
contemporary debates in the philosophy of language, the philosophy
of mind and metaphysics.
Hookway traces the development of Quine's work from his early
criticisms of logical positivism and empiricism to his more recent
theories about mind and meaning. He gives particular attention to
Quine's controversial arguments concerning the indeterminacy of
translation, comparing Quine's views with those of Davidson, Putnam
and others. Hookway concludes by offering a critical appraisal of
Quine's approach and of some of his fundamental philosophical
commitments.
This lucid and balanced study will be essential reading for
students of philosophy. It will also be invaluable for students in
the social sciences and other disciplines who are looking for a
clear introduction to Quine's ideas.

Great wrist rest. Smooth finish, good looks, and ideal wrist angle.
This wrist rest sets you up for pretty optimal, level height to prevent future wrist problems. I went with the nice reddish/brown color as it matches my brown wood Edifier speakers and other brown accessories very nicely. Nice matte finish that avoids showing finger prints and skin oils. The color is perfect, not too red or too brown.
Keep in mind if your keyboard is angled in the front it will leave a bit of a gap, however it is unnoticeable to me. Also, make sure your arm rests of your chair can come high enough to meet the half inch or so thick wrist rest. My arm rests are a bit low for the time being so some extra pressure is put on my arm behind the wrist when resting on the chair supports.

Not for me
Color: Golden Oak, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest
It's tough to review something like this that functions perfectly, but just wasn't the right fit. The Glorious wrist rest for the keyboard is perfect and exactly what I wanted/needed, but the mouse rest caused hand and wrist pain. I swapped it out for a squishy alternative and that worked much better. I have a theory it might have been due to the relatively low height of my ektecity gaming mouse relative to the mouse rest. My keyboard is a higher height and that may be why the wood keyboard rest works so much better.

Well-crafted book rest for desk
Color: Black Walnut, Color: Black Walnut
I love this perfectly-sized and shaped board! I wanted something to tilt my daily planner up so it was easier to see and write on throughout the day. Book stands just don't work for my use. This tucks under my computer, so it frees space to work (see photo). The wood, the soft edges, and its finish are well crafted and beautiful. The pads on the bottom keep it from sliding on my desk. I'm thinking about buying another for my home in a spot where I read every morning.

It's a chunk of wood! Perfect.
Color: Black Walnut
It's a chunk of wood! Finish is great, height is great, looks great. Easy to clean unlike foam ones.
I did get one that was warped but the replacement was fine. Just check that it's actually flat when you get it

Decent product. Fits perfectly for 61/64 keys. Just slightly short for 68.
The finish seems fine for the piece I received. Didn't get any splinters or rough edges. Treated it with mineral oil overnight, it now touches and smells great. Just slightly too short for 68 layout but really can't complain for the price. Wish they offer more width options for TKL and full size as well.
