A concise investigation into most of the major schools of modern LITERARY THEORY.
The Routledge Companion of Critical Theory is an indispensable aid for anyone approaching this exciting field of study for the first time. By exploring ideas from a diverse range of disciplines "theory" encourages us to develop a deeper understanding of how we approach the written word. This book defines what is generically referred to as "critical theory," and guides readers through some of the most complex and fundamental concepts in the field, ranging from Historicism to Postmodernism, from Psychoanalytic Criticism to Race and Postcoloniality.
Although almost a decade has passed since the second edition of this work was published, this encyclopedia's reputation as a high-quality scholarly work has not diminished. Guided by an advisory board comprising leading researchers (including eight Nobel laureates), editor in chief Meyers (Ramtech, Inc.) used a peer review process that produced over 780 articles written by experts. The coverage in this third edition has expanded to include molecular biology, biochemistry, and biotechnology.
Over the past twenty years J. A. Cuddon's Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory has become firmly established as a classic work of reference. Now in its fourth edition, complete with many new entries and insights, it remains the most comprehensive and accessible work of its kind and constitutes essential reading for students, teachers and general readers alike.
This study deals with syntactic structure both in the board sense(as opposed to semantics)and the narrow sense(as opposed to phonemics and morphology). It forms part of an attempt to construct a formalized general theory of linguistic structure and to explore the foundations of such a theory.
Famous scientist's real quotes.
Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist. He is best
known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass–energy
equivalence, E = mc2. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics
"for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his
discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."
Einstein's many contributions to physics include his special theory of
relativity, which reconciled mechanics with electromagnetism, and his
general theory of relativity, which extended the principle of
relativity to non-uniform motion, creating a new theory of gravitation.
His other contributions include relativistic cosmology, capillary
action, critical opalescence, classical problems of statistical
mechanics and their application to quantum theory, an explanation of
the Brownian movement of molecules, atomic transition probabilities,
the quantum theory of a monatomic gas, thermal properties of light with
low radiation density (which laid the foundation for the photon
theory), a theory of radiation including stimulated emission, the
conception of a unified field theory, and the geometrization of physics.
