Myth, Meaning, and Antifragile Individualism
Jordan Peterson has attracted a high level of attention. Controversies may bring people into contact with Peterson's work, but ideas are arguably what keep them there. Focusing on those ideas, this book explores Peterson's answers to perennial questions. What is common to all humans, regardless of their background? Is complete knowledge ever possible? What would constitute a meaningful life? Why have humans evolved the capacity for intelligence? Should one treat others as individuals or as members of a group? Is a single person powerless in the face of evil? What is the relation between speech, thought, and action? Why have religious myths and narratives figured so prominently in human histo...
A Grammar of Neo-Aramaic
Being direct descendants of the Aramaic spoken by the Jews in antiquity, the still spoken Jewish Neo-Aramaic dialects of Kurdistan deserve special and vivid interest. Geoffrey Khan’s A Grammar of Neo-Aramaic is a unique record of one of these dialects, now on the verge of extinction. This volume, the result of extensive fieldwork, contains a description of the dialect spoken by the Jews from the region of Arbel (Iraqi Kurdistan), together with a transcription of recorded texts and a glossary. The grammar consists of sections on phonology, morphology and syntax, preceded by an introductory chapter examining the position of this dialect in relation to the other known Neo-Aramaic dialects. The transcribed texts record folktales and accounts of customs, traditions and experiences of the Jews of Kurdistan.
A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History
More than a simple expository history, A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History sketches the outlines of a renewed materialist philosophy of history in the tradition of Fernand Braudel, Gilles Deleuze, and F lix Guattari, while also engaging the critical new understanding of material processes derived from the sciences of dynamics.Following in the wake of his groundbreaking War in the Age of Intelligent Machines, Manuel De Landa presents a radical synthesis of historical development over the last one thousand years. More than a simple expository history, A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History sketches the outlines of a renewed materialist philosophy of history in the tradition of Fernand Braudel...
Dicționarul Luceafărului eminescian
Dicționarul Luceafărului eminescian este prima lucrare de lexicografie consacrată unei singure opere poetice românești, şi anume unui «arhi-text» (text poetic integral, concept și realizare în premieră absolută), constituit din formă definitivă, versiuni și variante. Încercările bruionare nu reprezintă distilatul limbaj poetic eminescian, purtând girul autorului prin publicarea în timpul vieții, ci limbajul poetului Mihai Eminescu, așa cum o arată manuscrisele, în încercarea de a i da forma ideală; numeroase versuri nu numai că se ridica la valoarea celor din antume, ci adesea o covârșesc. Aceste versiuni și variante nefinisate conțin un lexic deosebit de bogat și interesant. Dicționarul încearcă prezentarea creației poetice din perspectiva lexicului, opțiunile individualității creatoare față de mijloacele oferite de limbă; totodată, cu limitele inerente, este o tentativă de incursiune într-un anume univers imaginar, construit prin limbajul poetic.
Information Design
Information Design provides citizens, business and government with a means of presenting and interacting with complex information. It embraces applications from wayfinding and map reading to forms design; from website and screen layout to instruction. Done well it can communicate across languages and cultures, convey complicated instructions, even change behaviours. Information Design offers an authoritative guide to this important multidisciplinary subject. The book weaves design theory and methods with case studies of professional practice from leading information designers across the world. The heavily illustrated text is rigorous yet readable and offers a single, must-have, reference to anyone interested in information design or any of its related disciplines such as interaction design and information architecture, information graphics, document design, universal design, service design, map-making and wayfinding.
