The Extent of the Literal: Metaphor, Polysemy and Theories of Concepts

2003 y.
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
Description: Book Description The Extent of the Literal develops a strikingly new approach to metaphor and polysemy in their relation to the conceptual structure. In a straightforward narrative style, the author argues for a reconsideration of standard assumptions concerning the notion of literal meaning and its relation to conceptual structure. She draws on neurophysiological and psychological experimental data in support of a view in which polysemy belongs to the level of words but not to the level of concepts, and thus challenges some seminal work on metaphor and polysemy within cognitive linguistics, lexical semantics and analytical philosophy.

The External Dimension of the Euro Area: Assessing the Linkages

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Although still relatively closed, the euro area economy is nevertheless subject to a broad range of economic impacts originating from outside its borders. This book aims to improve our understanding of how, and to what extent, such external developments affect the euro area. Using a broad range of methodologies and techniques, the chapters analyse the various channels that connect the euro area to its external environment, most notably trade, capital flows and other international macroeconomic linkages. The result is that the interaction between the euro area and its ‘external dimension’ is shown to be more complex and extensive than had previously been thought. With contributions from both academics and professionals, this volume will be an invaluable source of information for researchers and policy-makers concerned with the interaction between regional European integration and globalization.

The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things: Fourteen Natural Steps to Health and Happiness

2007 y.
Publisher: Three Rivers Press
Description: Every day modern medicine announces the arrival of yet another `wonder drug` or `miracle procedure` to a world increasingly wary of expensive high-tech cures. Drugs, transplants, and surgery don`t work for 90 percent of our aches and pains and, while we are grateful for life-saving developments, we know that most come with risks that we ignore at our peril. Long hailed as one of the founding fathers of mind-body medicine, Larry Dossey directs our attention to simple sources of healing that have been available for centuries-treasures often hidden in plain sight-from the power of optimism and of tears to speed recovery to the surprising usefulness of dirt and bugs in curing disease and infection to the benefits of doing nothing. Exploring the medical research that validates these simple remedies, Dossey encourages us to align ourselves with the wisdom of nature and allow true healing to take place. `The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things` can transform our… [detailed...]

The Eye Club

Publisher: —
Description: Book Description`The Eye Club,` unofficially founded around 1975, was the nickname given to the loose conglomeration of individuals who found themselves among the first new collectors of photography. Operating purely on instinct and the love of seeing, these few dozen people (including Sam Wagstaff, Andre Jammes and other now-legendary collectors) shared a distaste for established pantheons and veered instead toward the lesser-known, the anonymous, the outre or any photograph emanating sparks of electricity. Photography was their perfect vehicle and they were startled to find themselves in so much unchartered territory.~The nearly 100 surprising pictures in The Eye Club have been assembled in a similar spirit of adventure. Photography persistsas an unruly medium, and this book is comprised of an unruly group of photographs, brought together in the open-eyed spirit of the Eye Club to mark the 25th anniversary of San Francisco`s esteemed Fraenkel Gallery.

England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in a Wordsworth poem and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense. All this is business as usual for Thursday Next, renowned Special Operative in literary detection. But when someone begins kidnapping characters from works of literature and plucks Jane Eyre from the pages of Bronte`s novel, Thursday is faced with the challenge of her career. Fforde`s ingenious fantasy-enhanced by a Web site that re-creates the world of the novel--unites intrigue with English literature in a delightfully witty mix. [detailed...]

So how did this ordinary family manage to overcome a lifetime of weight problems to achieve such remarkable results? They did it together following the F.A.S.T.
