Описание: This Book Is Aimed At Graduate Students And Researchers In Physics And Mathematics Who Seek To Understand The Basics Of Supersymmetry From A Mathematical Point Of View. It Provides A Bridge Between The Physical And Mathematical Approaches To The Superworld. The Physicist Who Is Devoted To Learning The Basics Of Supergeometry Can Find A Friendly Approach Here, Since Only The Concepts That Are Strictly Necessary Are Introduced. On The Other Hand, The Mathematician Who Wants To Learn From Physics Will Find That All The Mathematical Assumptions Are Firmly Rooted In Physical Concepts. This May Open Up A Channel Of Communication Between The Two Communities Working On Different Aspects Of Supersymmetry. Starting From Special Relativity And Minkowski Space, The Idea Of Conformal Space And Superspace Is Built Step By Step In A Mathematically Rigorous Way, And Always Connecting With The Ideas And Notation Used In Physics. While The Book Is Mainly Devoted To These Important Physical Examples Of Superspaces, It Can Also Be Used As An Introduction To The Field Of Supergeometry, Where A Reader Can Ease Into The Subject Without Being Overwhelmed With The Technical Difficulties.

Описание: Paul Elbourne defends the Fregean view that definite descriptions (`the table`, `the King of France`) refer to individuals, and offers a new and radical account of the semantics of pronouns. He draws on a wide range of work, from Frege, Peano, and Russell to the latest findings in linguistics, philosophy of language, and psycholinguistics.
Описание: This book analyses parental anxieties about their children’s healthcare issues in urban China, engaging with wider theoretical debates about modernity, risk and anxiety. It examines the broader social, cultural and historical contexts of parental anxiety by analysing a series of socio-economic changes and population policy changes in post-reform China that contextualise parental experiences. Drawing on Wilkinson’s (2001) conceptualisation linking individual’s risk consciousness to anxiety, this book analyses the situated risk experiences of parents’ and grandparents’, looking particularly into their engagement with various types of media. It studies the representations of health issues and health-related risks in a parenting magazine, popular newspapers, commercial advertising and new media, as well as parents’ and grandparents’ engagement with and response to these media representations. By investigating ‘a culture of anxiety’ among parents and grandparents in contemporary China, this book seeks to add to the scholarship of contemporary parenthood in a non- Western context.

Описание: This book offers a new perspective on the role played by colonial descriptions and translation of Caribbean plants in representations of Caribbean culture. Through thorough examination of Caribbean phytonyms in lexicography, colonization, history, songs and translation studies, the authors argue that the Westernisation of vernacular phytonyms, while systematizing the nomenclature, blurred and erased the cultural tradition of Caribbean plants and medicinal herbs. Means of transmission and preservation of this oral culture was in the plantation songs and herb vendor songs. Musical creativity is a powerful form of resistance, as in the case of Reggae music and the rise of Rastafarians, and Bob Marley’s ‘untranslatable’ lyrics. This book will be of interest to scholars of Caribbean studies and to linguists interested in pushing the current Eurocentric boundaries of translation studies.
