Overview: Attribute grammars have shown themselves to be a usefulformalism for specifying the syntax and the static semanticsof programming languages.They are also useful forimplementing syntax-directed editors, compilers, translatorwriting systems and compiler generators, and any applicationthat has a strong syntactic base. However, no textbooks areavailable that cover the entire field.To redress this imbalance, anInternational Summer School onAttribute Grammars, Applications and Systems was held inPrague, Czechoslovakia in June 1991. The course aimed atteaching the state of the art in attrib

Overview: This book is multi- and interdisciplinary in both scope and content. It draws upon philosophy, the neurosciences, psychology, computer science, and engineering in efforts to resolve fundamental issues about the nature of immediate awareness. Approximately the first half of the book is addressed to historical approaches to the question whether or not there is such a thing as immediate awareness, and if so, what it might be. This involves reviewing arguments that one way or another have been offered as answers to the question or ways of avoiding it. It also includes detailed discussion

Overview: Dissects and unpacks the meaning of ‘adventure‘ in today‘s society and contains chapters on risk taking and social identity.Takes a much more practical approach than other texts, and contains pedagogi.This undergraduate textbook provides a broad overview of the ways in which ‘adventurous practices’ influence, and are influenced by, the world around them. The concept of adventure is one that is too often tackled within subject silos of philosophy, education, tourism, or leisure. While much of the analysis is strong, there is little cross-pollination between disciplines. .Adventure & S

Overview: Nitrates have been for many years the cornerstone of cardiovascular therapy for various indications. Not only have nitrates stood the test of time for treatment of chronic stable angina pectoris, but the indications for them have markedly ex­ panded. They now include all forms of angina pectoris and myocardial ischemia, congestive heart failure and hypertensive emergencies. The beneficial effects of nitrates in all these conditions result from their vasodilatory properties, but it is still unclear whether the central or peripheral effects predominate in the thera­ peutic mechanism.
