This book defines the fundamentals of Roman comedy by examining its literary and comic technique as well as its stagecraft and music, and then traces the genre's influence through the centuries. Roman comedy has served as a model for writers as well as artists ranging from Shakespeare to Molire and from Martin Luther to Cole Porter. Just as the Middle Ages spawned Christianised versions of Terence's comedies, in which harlots find God rather than a husband and young men become martyrs rather than never-do-well lovers, the twentieth century has also given us its take on Roman comedy with Stephen Sondheim's A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and numerous modern versions of Plautus' Amphitryon.Editorial ReviewsReview 'This companion fulfills its function in exhibiting an exceptional level of scholarly engagement in its examination of the 'world', 'fabric', 'sociology', and 'reception' of Roman Comedy ... well-balanced mixture of specialized studies and sophisticated surveys is both stimulating and encourages scholars and students alike to investigate and critique the plays themselves.' Cassandra Tran, Bryn Mawr Classical ReviewBook Description Provides a comprehensive critical engagement with Roman comedy and its reception presented by leading international scholars in accessible and up-to-date chapters.About the Author Martin T.

Far and away the best narrative summary of western architecture in existence ... it stands out as an intellectual triumph' SIR JOHN SUMMERSON. This is the first history of Western architecture to take account of the change of mood which has occurred in the architectural scene since the 1970s. Previous views of architectural history have seen the past 200 years as a gradual but inevitable progress towards the endless plateau of the modern movement. The removal of those certainties has had important repercussions on our interpretation of the development of architecture from the eighteenth century onwards. David Watkin's approach is to see architectural history as a living continuity rather than as a museum of neatly labelled styles. He emphasises the validity and vitality of the classical language of architecture which links, for instance, the work of Ictinus in 5th-century Athens with that of McKim, Mead and White in 20th-century New York. His authoritative, highly illustrated survey provides a fresh perspective on an important subject. David Watkin is a Fellow of Peterhouse, Cambridge, and a university lecturer in the history of art. He has published several books and is a leading authority on Classicism and its revivals in architecture. ., Laurence King, 1992, 3, ISBN: 9781107011366Cambridge University Press, 09 June 2014Hardcover, 510 pagesOver the past thirty years, a new systemic conception of life has emerged at the forefront of science. New emphasis has been given to complexity, networks, and patterns of organisation, leading to a novel kind of 'systemic' thinking. This volume integrates the ideas, models, and theories underlying the systems view of life into a single coherent framework. Taking a broad sweep through history and across scientific disciplines, the authors examine the appearance of key concepts such as autopoiesis, dissipative structures, social networks, and a systemic understanding of evolution. The implications of the systems view of life for health care, management, and our global ecological and economic crises are also discussed. Written primarily for undergraduates, it is also essential reading for graduate students and researchers interested in understanding the new systemic conception of life and its implications for a broad range of professions - from economics and politics to medicine, psychology and law.Editorial ReviewsReview "Partly an enjoyable survey of exciting new developments in systems biology, valuable to any student of biology or science, and partly a bold blueprint for how we might preserve our future on Earth." New Scientist"A magisterial study of the scientific basis for an integrated worldview grounded in the wholeness that generations of one-eyed reductionists could not see. The authors succeed brilliantly!" David W. Orr, Oberlin College"... gives us a sound synthesis of the best science and theory on the connectedness of all living things, the dynamics of emergence and self-organization as conceived by Francisco Varela. This volume offers a profound framework for understanding our place on the planet, for better or worse. And if we apply the insights offered by Capra and Luisi, it will be for the better ... should be required reading for today's young, tomorrow's leaders, and anyone who cares about life on this planet." Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence and Ecological Intelligence"What is life? What is a human being? How can new discoveries about nature and ourselves keep us from becoming the first self-endangered species? Capra and Luisi's dazzling synthesis explains how moving beyond mechanistic, linear, reductionist habits is revealing startling new answers to perennial questions of philosophy and practice. Sir Francis Bacon's goal of 'the enlargement of the bounds of Human Empire, to the effecting of all things possible' has put humanity in serious trouble. But today, rebuilding our thinking, language, and actions around Darwin, not Descartes, and around modern biology, not outmoded physics, creates rich new options. Driven by the co-evolution of business with civil society, these can build a fairer, healthier, cooler, safer world. The Systems View of Life is a lucid, wide-ranging guide to living maturely, kindly, and durably with each other and with other beings on the only home we have." Amory B. Lovins, Rocky Mountain Institute"... this book feels like a Rosetta stone for me, unlocking connections and roots of a panoply of different ideas and concepts. It starts walking us through the history of science - and how scientific models influenced most aspect of cultures ... This book pulls the big changes together and integrates them, across disciplines into a glorious big picture, for each field ... As I was reading the portion of the book covering the history of systems thinking ... I realized that I was suddenly feeling very excited, like I was in a movie, sitting on the edge of my seat ... This is what a great writer and a great book are supposed to do ... It has had a huge impact on my way of thinking about so many things. It doesn't matter what your area of work or interest is. This book is essential reading to face the future with eyes wide open." Rob Kall, OpEdNews.com"... a valuable overview of the discipline." Stephen Lewis, The Biologist'What a fine, erudite, synoptic, lovely book!' Stuart Kauffman, University of Pennsylvania and the Institute for Systems Biology, SeattleBook Description The first volume to integrate life's biological, cognitive, social, and ecological dimensions into a single, coherent framework.About the Author Fritjof Capra is a founding director of the Center for Ecoliteracy in Berkeley, California, and serves on the faculty of Schumacher College, Devon. He is a physicist and systems theorist, and has been engaged in a systematic examination of the philosophical and social implications of contemporary science for the past 35 years.Pier Luigi Luisi is Professor in Biochemistry at the University of Rome 3. He started his career at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ) where he became full professor in Chemistry and initiated the interdisciplinary Cortona Weeks.

This introduction to the descriptive and historical linguistics of the Papuan languages of New Guinea provide an accessible account of one of the richest and most diverse linguistic situations in the world. The Papuan languages number over 700 (or 20 per cent of the world's total) in more than sixty language families. Less than a quarter of the individual languages have yet been adequately documented, and in this sense William Foley's book might be considered premature. However, in the search for language universals and generalisations in linguistic typology, it would be foolhardy to neglect the information that is available. In this respect alone, the present volume, systematically organised on mainly typology principles, is particularly timely and useful. In addition, the processes of linguistic diffusion are present in New Guinea to an extent probably paralleled elsewhere on the globe. The Papuan Languages of New Guinea will be of interest not only to general and comparative linguists and to typologists, but also to sociolinguists and anthropologists for the information it provides on the social dynamics of language content., Cambridge University Press, 1986, 3<

Hinweis: Inhaltsverzeichnis siehe Photographien. Wikipedia über den Verfasser: William Auguste Foley (* 21. April 1949 in den USA) ist ein in Australien lehrender Hochschullehrer für Linguistik an der Universität Sydney. Foley gilt als ein führender Vertreter im Bereich der Beschreibung der Sprachen im Pazifischen Ozean. Er ist Mitbegründer der Role and Reference Grammar und gilt als Experte der Sprachen Papua-Neuguineas. Foley studierte in den 1970er Jahren an der Universität von Kalifornien, Berkeley, Linguistik bei Charles J. Fillmore, Larry M. Hyman und Alton L. Becker und erwarb dort 1976 sein Ph. D. mit einer syntaktischen Untersuchung zu den austronesischen Sprachen. Nach dem Studium lehrte er von 1976 bis 1988 als Professor an der Australian National University in Canberra und ist seit 1988 Professor für Linguistik an der Universität Sydney. Foley entwarf mit Robert D. Van Valin, Jr. eine neuartige Theorie. Die Syntax war in ihr nicht mehr wie in einigen anderen Theorien autonom. Vielmehr waren die Semantik und Pragmatik zentrale Bereiche zur Analyse der Satzstruktur. Da es zentral um die semantische Rollenstruktur ging und da auch die pragmatische Ebene, die früher „reference“ genannt wurde, eine Rolle spielte, hieß die neue Theorie Role and Reference Grammar, was frei übersetzt so viel wie „Semantische-Kasusrollen- und pragmatische Grammatik“ bedeutet. Die früheste Veröffentlichung zur Role and Reference Grammar ist ein gemeinsam mit Van Valin verfasster Aufsatz aus dem Jahre 1977. Eine erste große theoretische Grundlegung bildete das Buch Functional syntax and universal grammar, das Foley 1984 ebenfalls zusammen mit Robert D. Van Valin, Jr. schrieb. Diese Theorie wurde in den folgenden Jahren zu einer der bekanntesten Grammatiktheorien, was einerseits an dem funktionalen, Semantik und Pragmatik bei die Satzanalyse berücksichtigenden Ansatz lag, andererseits an der typologischen Adäquatheit in einer Zeit lag, wo funktional-typologische Untersuchungen stetig zunahmen. Diese Adäquatheit bedeutete, dass möglichst viele, im Idealfall: alle Sprachen mit der Theorie beschreibbar sein sollten. Foley zog sich jedoch aus diesem Bereich ganz zurück und wandte sich verstärkt der Sprachbeschreibung zu. Foley befasste sich im Laufe der 1980er Jahre weiter mit Sprachen wie denen auf den austronesischen Inseln. Von 1977 bis 1978 war er in einem längeren Forschungsaufenthalt auf Papua-Neuguinea und verbrachte in einem Zeitraum von 20 Jahren viele 2–3 Monate dauernde Forschungsaufenthalte auf Inseln des Pazifik: den Inseln Papua-Neuguineas, auf der ein Fünftel aller Sprachen der Welt gesprochen wird, und den Inseln Austronesiens, wo Foley drei Sprachen untersuchte. Zu diesen Sprachen veröffentlichte er in den Jahren 1986 und 1991 zwei Werke, von denen das erste bei „Cambridge Language Surveys“ erschien und einen Überblick über die Sprachen Papua-Neuguineas gibt.
