Thirty-seven chapters, written by leading literary critics from across the world, describe the latest thinking about twentieth-century war poetry. The book maps both the uniqueness of each war and the continuities between poets of different wars, while the interconnections between the literatures of war and peacetime, and between combatant and civilian poets, are fully considered. The focus is on Britain and Ireland, but links are drawn with the poetry of the United States and
continental Europe. The Oxford Handbook feeds a growing interest in war poetry and offers, in toto, a definitive survey of the terrain. It is intended for a broad audience, made up of specialists and also graduates and undergraduates, and is an essential resource for both scholars of particular poets and for those interested in wider debates about modern poetry. This scholarly and readable assessment of the field will provide an important point of reference for decades to come.
Mark Wilson presents a highly original and broad-ranging
investigation of the way we get to grips with the world conceptually,
and the way that philosophical problems commonly arise from this. He
combines traditional philosophical concerns about human conceptual
thinking with illuminating data
derived from a large variety of
fields including physics and applied mathematics, cognitive psychology,
and linguistics. Wandering Significance offers abundant new insights
and perspectives for philosophers of language, mind, and science, and
will also reward the interest of psychologists,
linguists, and anyone curious about the mysterious ways in which useful language obtains its practical applicability.
The Economist is an English-language weekly news and international affairs publication owned by "The Economist Newspaper Ltd" and edited in London. It has been in continuous publication since James Wilson established it in September 1843. As of 2006, its average circulation topped one million copies a week, about half of which are sold in North America.Consequently it is often seen as a transatlantic (as opposed to solely British) news source.
Mathematical Methods in Linquistics is far more about mathematical methods than about linguistics, although in many places linquistics is used as a source of examples. Instead it covers such mathematical topics as sets (including infinite sets), relations, a good deal of mathematical logic, automata (up to turing machines), the lambda calculus, lattices and more. This would be an excellent book for an advanced undergraduate or graduate student in either mathematics or computer science to use either as a review text, or as a study guide for further investigation.
