Research in critical discours

Overview: STRESS STYLES It is late afternoon on the last Friday of the month. At the bank, the lines of customers waiting to deposit their paychecks or to withdraw money for the weekend have stretched practically to the front doors.

Overview: Licensing, Censorship and Authorship in Early Modern England examines in detail both how the practice of censorship shaped writing in the Shakespearean period, and how our sense of that censorship continues to shape modern understandings of what was written. Separate chapters trace the development of licensing in the theatre, and the response of the actors and dramatists to it. There are detailed examinations of how censorship affects our reading of four major playwrights: Marlowe, Shakespeare, Jonson and Middleton, and of how the control of printed books compared with that of the st

Overview: ‘The criterion of true beauty‘ , wrote Fulke Greville, 1st Baron of Burke, ‘is that it increases on examination; if false, that it lessens. There is therefore something in true beauty that corresponds with right reason, and it is not the mere creation of fantasy.‘ The authors of this compact volume have increased the beauty of an area that is commonly and rightly ac­ knowledged to be one of the loveliest parts of the Great Lakes. They have done this by integrating the historical, industrial, and cultural influences on ‘Lake Manitoulin‘ in sixteen manuscripts. It is enigmatic that Lak

Overview: Zahlreiche Aufgaben mit Lösungen.Klare Orientierung und schneller Zugriff.Einzigartig in Bezug auf Anwendungen innerhalb der Mathematik und Physik.Includes supplementary material: ."Die lineare Funktionalanalysis ist ein weitgehend kanonisiertes Teilgebiet der Mathematik, das in seiner Synthese von Algebra, Topologie und Analysis von großem ästhetischem Reiz ist.

Overview: .Lowering the Cost of Emission Reduction. by Dr MichaelRidley investigates a novel way to reduce the cost of carbon dioxideand sulphur dioxide emission reduction. This book asks whetherallowing countries to substitute emission reduction undertaken abroadin lieu of emission reduction at home will reduce the cost of emissionreduction and allow more rapid and acute falls in pollution. .Analysing US Department of Energy data on US emission reductionprojects undertaken in Eastern Europe and Central America, this bookexplains differences in the cost of emission reduction by method andby co

Overview: In diesem dritten Teil der mathematischen Physik habe ich versucht, die Quantenmechanik axiomatisch aufzubauen und zu relevanten Anwendungen zu gelangen. In der axiomatischen Literatur gewinnt man manchmal den Eindruck, es gehe vornehmlich darum, durch veredelnde Abstraktionsprozesse die Physik von allen irdischen Schlacken zu befreien und sie dementsprechend dem ein­ fachen Verstand zu entrücken. Hier wird jedoch das Ziel verfolgt, konkrete Resultate zu liefern, die sich mit experimentellen Tatsachen vergleichen lassen. Alles andere ist nur als Hilfsmittel zu betrachten und nach pra
