A South African Edition
by Carroll, Lewis / Bird, Megan

The ArtsApril 2024Hyde Park
by James Shirley
by Eugene Giddens
Hyde Park (1632) is one of the best-loved comedies of James Shirley, considered to be one of the most important Caroline dramatists. The play showcases strong female characters who excel at rebuking the outlandish courtship of various suitors. Shirley's comic setting, London's Hyde Park, offers ample opportunity for witty dialogue. This is the first critical edition of the play, including a wide-ranging introduction and extensive commentary and textual notes. Paying special attention to the culture of Caroline London and its stage, the volume unpicks Shirley's politics of courtship and consent while also underlining the play's dynamics of class and power. A detailed performance history traces productions from 1632, across the Restoration to the present day, including that of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1987. A textual history of the play's first quarto determines how it was printed and what relationship Hyde Park has to other texts by Shirley.

The ArtsMay 2022Hyde Park
by James Shirley
by Helen Ostovich, Eugene Giddens
Hyde Park (1632) is one of the best-loved comedies of James Shirley, considered to be one of the most important Caroline dramatists. The play showcases strong female characters who excel at rebuking the outlandish courtship of various suitors. Shirley's comic setting, London's Hyde Park, offers ample opportunity for witty dialogue and sport - including foot and horse races - across three love plots. This is the first critical edition of the play, including a wide-ranging introduction and extensive commentary and textual notes. Paying special attention to the culture of Caroline London and its stage, the Revels Plays edition unpicks Shirley's politics of courtship and consent while also underlining the play's dynamics of class and power. A detailed performance history traces productions from 1632, across the Restoration to the present day, including that of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1987. A textual history of the play's first quarto determines how it was printed and what relationship Hyde Park has to other texts by Shirley from the same publishers.

May 2015Gierige Institutionen
Soziologische Studien über totales Engagement
by Lewis A. Coser, Marianne Egger de Campo
Was haben die Eunuchen am Kaiserhof der Ming-Dynastie mit den kleinbürgerlichen Hausfrauen des 20. Jahrhunderts gemeinsam? Was zölibatäre Priester mit Trotzkisten? In allen Fällen handelt es sich um ein Individuum, das mit seiner unbedingten Treue und freiwilligen Selbstaufgabe die Macht einer Institution festigt. Lewis A. Cosers nun erstmals auf Deutsch vorliegender Klassiker über diese »gierigen Institutionen« verblüfft den Leser mit einer ebenso einfachen wie genialen Theorie über eine Spielart totalen Engagements, die nichts an Aktualität eingebüßt hat.

May 1991Intentionalität
Eine Abhandlung zur Philosophie des Geistes
by Harvey P. Gavagai, John R. Searle
Nach seinen sprachphilosophischen Arbeiten ('Sprechakte', stw 458; 'Ausdruck und Bedeutung', stw 349) hat John R. Searle mit 'Intentionalität' eine Untersuchung zu einem Kernstück der Philosophie des Geistes vorgelegt, die in einem engen thematischen Zusammenhang mit den früheren Arbeiten steht. Intentionalität ist nach Searles Auffassung die Basis sprachlicher Bedeutung. In seiner Theorie der Intentionalität geht es um die begrifflichen Eigenschaften intentionaler Zustände (auf die Frage nach ihrem ontologischen Status geht er ausführlicher ein in 'Geist, Hirn und Wissenschaft', stw 591). Zwei Aspekte stehen dabei im Vordergrund der Untersuchung: die Logik der Repräsentation und der Kausalität intentionaler Zustände. Doch Searle entwickelt in dieser Arbeit nicht nur eine Theorie der Intentionalität und des Zusammenhangs zwischen sprachlichem und geistigem Inhalt. In einem vornehmlich kritischen Teil setzt er sich ausführlich mit konkurrierenden Auffassungen aus dem Bereich der analytischen Philosophie auseinander, insbesondere mit derzeit sehr einflußreichen 'nicht-deskriptivistischen' Theorien des Bezugs, wie sie von S. Kripke, H. Putnam, K. Donnellan, T. Burge und D. Kaplan vertreten und angeregt wurden.

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2009Edwin Morgan
Inventions of modernity
by Colin Nicholson
Edwin Morgan is Scotland's major living poet, and Inventions of modernity was the first book-length study of his work. Since the 1940s Morgan's poetry has been carving out an alternative to the conventional evolutions from Modernism to Postmodernism, creating instead a substantial body of writing that ranges from the sublime to the hilarious. Instinctively at odds with the literary politics of the Pound-Eliot axis that remained influential deep into the twentieth century, Morgan develops instead a radical and libertarian poetics in an encyclopaedia of forms; from Anglo-Saxon metre through sonnet-sequences to concrete poems, and including gay poetry, science fiction verse and prize-winning translations into both English and Scots from numerous languages. This authoritative volume is of interest to students, teachers and academic researchers involved with strategies of reading, with cultural studies, with the politics of literary history and with gay and transgressive writing. ;

January 2021Practical R for Biologists
An Introduction
by Donald Quicke, Buntika A Butcher, Rachel Kruft Welton
R is a freely available, open-source statistical programming environment which provides powerful statistical analysis tools and graphics outputs. R is now used by a very wide range of people; biologists (the primary audience of this book), but also all other scientists and engineers, economists, market researchers and medical professionals. R users with expertise are constantly adding new associated packages, and the range already available is immense.This text works through a set of studies that collectively represent almost all the R operations that biology students need in order to analyse their own data. The material is designed to serve students from first year undergraduates through to those beginning post graduate levels. Chapters are organized around topics such as graphing, classical statistical tests, statistical modelling, mapping, and text parsing. Examples are based on real scientific studies, and each one covers the use of more R functions than those simply necessary to get a p-value or plot.The book walks the reader through the data analysis process, starting with very simple plots, and continuing through more complex analyses and programming. It shows how to deal with issues such as error messages that can be confronting for beginners, in order to set students up for a successful scientific career using R.Collectively the authors have a vast amount of teaching experience which they apply here to make the passage into R programming as gentle and easy as possible, whilst guiding the reader to tackle quite complicated programming.

Über die Grenze zwischen Wildnis und Zivilisation
by Hans Peter Duerr
Ein mittlerweile berühmt gewordenes Kultbuch. (Weltwoche) Hans Peter Duerr hat mit diesem Buch Maßstäbe gesetzt für ein Denken, das sich in Gegensatz zur abendländischen Tradition stellt. (Aurel Schmidt, Basler Magazin) Ein Buch, das westdeutsche Wissenschaftsgeschichte machte. (Die Presse) Duerrs Irrationalismus führt uns allerdings auch nur in die Sackgasse. (Rüdiger Schott in Grundfragen der Ethnologie) Könnte man von Duerr nicht lernen, eine Diskussion witzig, gebildet und menschenfreundlich, das heißt: wie unter Erwachsenen zu führen? (Hans Platschek, Die Zeit) Der Leser, der ein Sensorium für die augenzwinkernde Schalkhaftigkeit der Selbstironie besitzt, wird sich immer wieder erheitert finden. (Urs Bitterli) Duerr ist unpathetisch, geisterweit entfernt von aller Sektiererei, gar nicht rechthaberisch und will niemanden erlösen. (Stern) Ein Buch, das sehr kokett, manchmal eitel, zweifellos arrogant und daher sehr unterhaltsam ist. (Eckhard Nordhofen, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) Ein in gutem Deutsch spannend geschriebener Essay, nicht ohne Witz und allerlei Hinter sinn. (Adolf Holl, Profil) Provokante Frechheit. (Rhein- Neckar-Zeitung) Ein unordentliches, unorganisiertes, schludrig geschriebenes, mit brillanten Aphorismen gespicktes und oft sehr lustig in schnoddriger Subkultursprache verfaßtes, enorm eitles und doch wieder dank seiner Offenheit sehr versöhnliches Buch. (Ernest Borneman) Akademisch sattelfest, aphoristisch, bibliophil,zauntranszendent, jenseits vom Jargon. (Gerhard Marcel Martin)
