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

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
