Описание: This CTR-Special is on one of the most exciting topics in the neurosciences, the regulation of axonal growth during development and in the injured nervous system by attraction and repulsion. The implications of this topic extend far beyond developmental neurobiology into the fields of applied medicine, clinical neurology and related disciplines.
Описание: Via a number of articles, this book presents a survey and a set of projects in computational lexical semantics. Topics include verb semantic classifications, relations between syntax and semantics, Wordnet for verbs, multilinguism, lexical knowledge bases and lexical acquisition.

Описание: After identifying early conflicts between churches and baseball in the late-nineteenth century, Price examines the appropriation of baseball by the House of David, an early twentieth-century millennial Protestant community in southern Michigan. Turning then from historical intersections between baseball and religion, two chapters focus on the ways that baseball reflects religious myths. First, the omphalos myth about the origin and ordering of the world is reflected in the rituals and rules of the game. Then the myth of curses is explored in the culture of superstition that underlies the game. At the heart of the book is a sustained argument about how baseball functions as an American civil religion, affirming and sanctifying American identity, especially during periods of national crises such as wars and terrorist attacks.Building on this analysis of baseball as an American civil religion, two chapters draw upon novels by W. P. Kinsella and David James Duncan to explore the sacramental potential of baseball and to align baseball with apocalyptic possibilities. The final chapter serves as a full confession, interpreting baseball affiliation stories as conversion narratives. In various ways Rounding the Bases charts new territory in the literature about baseball and religion.Unlike previous works (such as The Faith of Fifty Million) that merely assert that baseball, as the national pastime, is an American civil religion, or others (such as And God Said, “Play Ball”) that draw parallels between the Bible and baseball, this book develops a sustained sociological argument for the conclusion that baseball is “a distinct denomination of American civil religion.”

Описание: Demonstrates that communities inside Roman military bases included a range of families and support personnel, and of non-combat activities, widely assumed to have been located in civilian settlements outside the walls. Spatial analyses of artefact distribution patterns present fresh perspectives on the socio-spatial organisation of these establishments.
Описание: The peace time stationing for collective security purposes of large numbers of military personnel of one country in the territory of an- other country constitutes one of the most significant developments of postwar international relations.
Описание: Amy Austin Holmes argues that the relationship between US military presence in foreign countries and the non-US citizens under its security umbrella is inherently contradictory. She suggests that while the host population may be fully enfranchised citizens of their own government, they are at the same time disenfranchised vis-a-vis the US presence.
