Literature & Literary StudiesAugust 2018Adapting Frankenstein
The monster's eternal lives in popular culture
by Dennis R. Cutchins, Dennis R. Perry
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is one of the most popular novels in western literature. It has been adapted and re-assembled in countless forms, from Hammer Horror films to young-adult books and bandes dessinées. Beginning with the idea of the 'Frankenstein Complex', this edited collection provides a series of creative readings that explore the elaborate intertextual networks that make up the novel's remarkable afterlife. It broadens the scope of research on Frankenstein while deepening our understanding of a text that, 200 years after its original publication, continues to intrigue and terrify us in new and unexpected ways.

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.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 1998The debate on the English Revolution
by R Richardson, Roger Richardson
The debate on the English Revolution is firmly established as an essential guide to the literature in its field and appears here in a much revised third edition. Three new chapters are included on twentieth-century historians' treatments of social complexities, politics, political culture and revisionism, and on the Revolution's unstoppable reverberations. All the other chapters have been amended and recast to take account of recent publications. The book provides a searching re-examination of why the English Revolution remains such a provocatively controversial subject and analyses the different ways in which historians over the last three centuries have tried to explain its causes, course and consequences. Claredon, Hume, Macaulay, Gardiner, Tawney, Hill, and the present-day revisionists are given extended treatment, while discussion of the work of numerous other historians is integrated into a coherent, informative readable survey. ;

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.

October 1984Schach von Wuthenow
Erzählung aus der Zeit des Regiments Gensdarmes
by Theodor Fontane, Benno Wiese
In »Schach von Wuthenow«, zwischen 1879 und 1882 entstanden, nimmt Fontane ein für Preußen wichtiges historisches Ereignis des Jahres 1806, die Schlacht bei Jena, und ein scheinbar privates Ereignis aus dem Jahr 1815 zum Anlaß, das psychologische Porträt eines preußischen Elite-Offiziers zu liefern. In dieser Erzählung verschränken sich historisches und gesellschaftliches Erzählen. Schach von Wuthenow, aus altem preußischen Adel stammend und Offizier im Elite-Regiment Gensdarmes, begeht unmittelbar nach der Hochzeit mit Victoire von Carayon Selbstmord. Er weigert sich, aus Gründen der honnêteté, eine Scheinehe mit ihr einzugehen, zu deren Abschluß er sich durch königliches Wort gezwungen sah, nachdem bekannt geworden war, daß er ein Verhältnis mit Victoire gehabt hatte. Aus »Furcht vor dem Ridikülen«, der schöne Schach und die blatternarbige Victoire, ist er in den Tod gegangen. »So fällt denn mit Schachs Selbstmord das grelle Licht der Zeitkritik auf das Preußen zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts, seine falschen Ehrbegriffe …« »Benno von Wiese«
