Man's Search for Meaning
22
 
 
Man's Search for MeaningPsychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of those he treated in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory—known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaning")—holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful.

Task Analysis Methods for Instructional DesignThis book is designed to serve three purposes. The first purpose is to define task analysis. In the Part I of the book, we define a structure and a definition of the process. The definition includes a description of the functions of task analysis and the situational variable that affect its performance. In each chapter, we describe the purpose, background, assumptions, and methods fpr performing each kind of task analysis. We also provide examples of each kind of analysis. We evaluate each task analysis method by by describing applications from the literature, alonmg with relative advantages and disadvantgaes of each method.

Peripheries: Syntactic Edges and their Effects
10
 
 
Peripheries: Syntactic Edges and their Effects The purpose of this volume is to explore the question of whether the notion of periphery has any real theoretical bite. An important consensus emerging from the volume is that the edges of certain syntactic expressions appear to be the locus of the connection between phrase structure, prosody, and information structure. This volume contains 16 papers by researchers in this area.

The book:
-contains an extensive introduction setting out the research questions addressed and setting the contributions in an overall theoretical context,
-has a distinct comparative slant,
-brings together work from a range of theoretical perspectives, while maintaining a unity of purpose,
-could serve as the basis for a graduate course on peripheral positions,
-contains papers addressing:
the question of the fine-grainedness of syntactic representations,
the relevance of syntactic edges to locality and semantic interpretation,
the nature of the dependencies connecting peripheral elements to the syntactic core.
