Reading Minds: The Study of English in the Age of Cognitive Science
Reading Minds: The Study of English in the Age of Cognitive Science (Hardcover)
By Mark Turner

Review & Description

The great adventure of modern cognitive science, the discovery of the human mind, will fundamentally revise our concept of what it means to be human. Drawing together the classical conception of the language arts, the Renaissance sense of scientific discovery, and the modern study of the mind, Mark Turner offers a vision of the central role that language and the arts of language can play in that adventure.

Circumstellar Media in Late Stages of Stellar Evolution (Proceedings of the 34th Herstmonceux Conference, Held in Cambridge, July 12-16, 1993) (Hardcover)
By R. E. S. Clegg

Review & Description

The papers contained in this volume arise from the 34th Herstmonceux conference, held in Cambridge, U.K., which addressed in particular the behavior of matter surrounding stars in the later stages of evolution. Highlights include the latest observational results that show how various types of stellar ejecta differ in shape, and a unified view of the physical processes involved; as well as the latest results on the media around Supernovae 1987a and 1993j. Other topics include late stages of evolution of low and high mass stars; physics of stellar winds; morphology of nebulae around stars; binary stars and bipolar nebulae; collimated flows and condensations; novae and supernovae revealing previous ejecta; and supernovae occurring in dense media. This timely volume will serve both as an excellent introduction for graduate students and a reference for researchers who want to keep abreast of developments in the field. Read more

Philosophy in Practice: An Introduction to the Main Questions (Paperback)

Philosophy in Practice: An Introduction to the Main Questions
Philosophy in Practice: An Introduction to the Main Questions (Paperback)
By Adam Morton

Review & Description

Philosophy in Practice is a completely new kind of introductory philosophy textbook, focusing on philosophy as an activity, rather than as a doctrine. At its heart is a stimulating sequence of exercises, activities and examples which lead the student directly into philosophical thinking and arguing.

The book is divided into three parts, concentrating on issues of reason, experience, and reality. Each is covered in a way that makes clear both the key connections between metaphysics, epistemology and ethics, and the main trends in the history of philosophy. It provides the ideal general introduction to philosophy. Read more

By Barry D. Smith

Review & Description

Psychology: Science & Understanding is the first Introductory Psychology textbook that provides full in-depth coverage of the biological factors in behavior without sacrificing environmental factors. As part of this biological and evolutionary emphasis neurophysiology is covered, with relevant figures, in every chapter of the book. Scholarly, up to date coverage of current research, theory and applications is presented in the context of classic ideas and well established bodies of evidence. In addition, the book has a clear emphasis on the future of psychology as a discipline. Every chapter contains a 21st Century box that extrapolates on existing scientific theory and research to allow for a reasonable projection of likely future research and application in that area. Barry Smith's Psychology: Science & Understanding is a winning combination of scientific rigor, engaging and clear explanation, and up to date research that will set a new standard for introductory psychology textbooks.

Barry Smith's Psychology: Science & Understanding sets the new standard in the balance of biology and environment for students of Introductory Psychology. Smith brings the true science of psychology to the introductory course for the first time and does so in a way that students will understand and be inspired.
