Overview: This is the first book of its kind to consider at length Coleridge‘s relationship to his near contemporary, Friedrich Schiller. Contrary to received opinion, the author shows that Schiller‘s notion of ‘aesthetic education‘ was indeed valuable to Coleridge at an early stage in his career and that it helped to shape much of his work - from his theory of imagination and his notion of the clerisy to his views on women and his account of historical change. Combining close readings with historical research, this book challenges readers to rethink the radical potential of idealist aesthetic

A comprehensive review of the literature is combined with the auth

Overview: .An up-to-date collection of tutorial papers on the latest advances in the deposition and growth of thin films for micro and nano technologies. The emphasis is on fundamental aspects, principles and applications of deposition techniques used for the fabrication of micro and nano devices. The deposition of thin films is described, emphasising the gas phase and surface chemistry and its effects on the growth rates and properties of films. Gas-phase phenomena, surface chemistry, growth mechanisms and the modelling of deposition processes are thoroughly described and discussed to provide

Overview: Provides incisive interdisciplinary analyses of important, highly interrelated phenomena.Contributors offer a wide range of perspectives and in some cases draw on personal anecdotes and experience.TraDrawing on cultural studies scholar Kuan-Hsing Chen‘s threefold notion of decolonization, deimperialization, and de-cold-war, this book provides analyses of the interrelated issues concerning the relationship between Christianity and the United States‘ imperialist militarism in the Asia Pacific. Contributors explore the effects of US imperialist militarism on the formation of Asian and A

Overview: Replacement systems, such as term rewriting systems, tree manipulat­ ing systems, and graph grammars, have been used in Computer Science in the context of theorem proving, program optimization, abstract data types, algebraic simplification, and symbolic comput­ ation. Replacement systems for strings arose about seventy years earlier in the area of combinatory logic and group theory. The most natural and appropriate formalism for dealing with string rewriting is the notion of a semi-Thue system and this monograph treats its central aspects. The reduction relation is here defined first

Overview: Explores crucial questions related to the fading myth of representative democracy.Adopts a conceptual framework that incorporates a body of evidence to critically evaluate both forms of democracy.Focu.This book is explicitly modernist at a time when many scholars have either forgotten the emancipatory promise of the Enlightenment or railed against it in the name of postmodernism. The book, broadly, adopts a hybrid epistemology that utilises the critical insights of Geisteswissenschaften Tradition (Weberian ‘Ideal-Type Analysis’) and the Habermas (1988) notions of the ‘public sphere’

Overview: Within the last ten years, the interest of historians and philosophers of science in the epistemological writings of the Polish medical microbiologist Ludwik Fleck (1896-1961), who had up to then been almost completely unknown, has advanced with great strides. His main writings on epistemological questions were published in the mid-1930‘s, but they remained almost unnoticed. Today, however, one may rightly call Fleck a ‘classical‘ figure both of episte­ mology and of the historical sociology of science, one whose works are comparable with Popper‘s Logic of Scientific Discovery or Mer
