Rob Costello, a fishmonger, must be hearing things, because he swears a fish is speaking to him. Furthermore, it’s speaking Yiddish—and Rob doesn’t even speak Yiddish. Oy vey! Although Mr. Lipshitz, Rob’s boss, is skeptical at first, he eventually hears the fish speak, too. “It sounds like my aunt Louise!” he says. When the mysterious fish seeks refuge back in the fish barrel and Rob and Mr. Lipshitz try to find him again, it looks as though they might have to set their entire catch free. After all, a Yiddish fish doesn’t come around every day. The Yiddish Fish is a silly picture book for the whole family. Author/illustrator Santiago Cohen’s colorfully drawn scenes are captivating and add a bit of magic to this true-life–inspired story. Children are sure to love reading and speculating about this modern-day miracle. The Yiddish Fish will definitely get people talking—and maybe even a fish or two!

In this innovative approach to the practice of social science, Charles Ragin explores the use of fuzzy sets to bridge the divide between quantitative and qualitative methods. Paradoxically, the fuzzy set is a powerful tool because it replaces an unwieldy, "fuzzy" instrument—the variable, which establishes only the positions of cases relative to each other, with a precise one—degree of membership in a well-defined set. Ragin argues that fuzzy sets allow a far richer dialogue between ideas and evidence in social research than previously possible. They let quantitative researchers abandon "homogenizing assumptions" about cases and causes, they extend diversity-oriented research strategies, and they provide a powerful connection between theory and data analysis. Most important, fuzzy sets can be carefully tailored to fit evolving theoretical concepts, sharpening quantitative tools with in-depth knowledge gained through qualitative, case-oriented inquiry. This book will revolutionize research methods not only in sociology, political science, and anthropology but in any field of inquiry dealing with complex patterns of causation.

At once philosophy, art, literature and mythology, this graphic novel is truly a labour of love. It is based on a tale by Stefan Zweig, which was read to Santiago as a child by his father. Retelling it 30 years later in a self-published book of pictures and text, it conflates naivete, sophistication, an ineffable sweetness, a sly humour and a colourul palette with no little touch of Santiago''s native Mexico.
