The Handbook of Contemporary Syntactic TheoryThe Hanbook of Contemporary Syntactic Theory

This Handbook provides a comprehensive view of the current issues in contemporary syntactic theory.

Written by an international assembly of leading specialists in the field, the 23 original articles in this Handbook serve as a comprehensive and useful reference for various areas of grammar. The chapters include analyses of non-configurational languages, a crosslinguistic comparison of important grammatical features that interface with semantics, discussions from the perspective of learnability theory, a discussion of thematic relations, and comparisons of derivational and representational approaches to grammar.

These cutting-edge articles, combined with the editors' informative introduction and an extensive bibliography, grant readers the greatest access to the field of natural language syntax today.

The Desk Encyclopedia of Microbiology (2004)
1152 pages
Derived from the "Encyclopedia of Microbiology", this edition contains about 25 per cent of the articles that originally appeared in that work. The articles selected have been chosen to offer the broadesppeal to microbiologists in all fields, and for their currency. The result is a volume where the coverage is extensive but not overly long in specific details. Topics fall into all major headings of the Encyclopedia, but greatest emphasis is placed on genetics, physiology, metabolism and gene expression, infectious diseases and pathogenesis and applied microbiology. Additionally, hot topics such as biofilms and quorum sensing have been included.
