Oxfam bookshop preston in this groundbreaking book, michael tomasello presents a comprehensive usage-based theory of language acquisitionbut these extra processes, tomasello argues, are completely unnecessary-important to save a theory but not to explain the phenomenondrawing together a vast body of empirical research in cognitive science, linguistics, and developmental psychology, tomasello demonstrates that we don't need a self-contained "language instinct" to explain how children learn languageall theories of language acquisition assume these fundamental skills of intention-reading and pattern-findingtomasello argues that the essence of language is its symbolic dimension, which rests on the uniquely human ability to comprehend intentionconstructing a language offers a compellingly argued, psychologically sound new vision for the study of language acquisitiongrammar emerges as the speakers of a language create linguistic constructions out of recurring sequences of symbols; children pick up these patterns in the buzz of words they hear around themfor all its empirical weaknesses, chomskian generative grammar has ruled the linguistic world for forty yearssome formal linguistic theories posit a second set of acquisition processes to connect somehow with an innate universal grammarsee oxfam website for delivery information read moretheir linguistic ability is interwoven with other cognitive abilities

Makdisi argues that sectarianism represented a deliberate mobilization of religious identities for political and social purposeshis study challenges those who have viewed sectarian violence as an islamic response to westernization or simply as a product of social and economic inequities among religious groupsthe religious violence of the nineteenth century, which culminated in sectarian mobilizations and massacres in , was a complex, multilayered, subaltern expression of modernization, he says, not a primordial reaction to itthe ottoman reform movement launched in and the growing european presence in the middle east contributed to the disintegration of the traditional lebanese social order based on a hierarchy that bridged religious differencesmakdisi's book is important to our understanding of lebanese society today, but it also makes a significant contribution to the discussion of the importance of religious discourse in the formation and dissolution of social and national identities in the modern world condition good, some minor warping to front cover as can be seen in digital imagemakdisi highlights how european colonialism and orientalism, with their emphasis on christian salvation and islamic despotism, and ottoman and local nationalisms each created and used narratives of sectarianism as foils to their own visions of modernity and to their own projects of colonial, imperial, and national developmentsee oxfam website for delivery information read moreoxfam bookshop knutsford focusing on ottoman lebanon, ussama makdisi shows how sectarianism was a manifestation of modernity that transcended the physical boundaries of a particular country

" french philosopher of science michel serres states that girard's theory provides a darwinian theory of culture because it "proposes a dynamic, shows an evolution and gives a universal explanationoxfam books & music lancaster from his groundbreaking violence and the sacred and things hidden since the foundation of the world, rené girard's mimetic theory is presented as elucidating "the origins of cultureequally, girard's theory is presented as having the potential to become for the human and social sciences something akin to the integrating framework that present-day biological science owes to darwin-something compatible with it and complementary to it in accounting for the still remarkably little understood phenomenon of human emergencethe contributors provide major evidence in favor of girard's hypothesisjoining disciplinary worlds, this book aims to explore this ambitious claim, invoking viewpoints as diverse as evolutionary culture theory, cultural anthropology, archaeology, cognitive psychology, ethology, and philosophy" this major claim has, however, remained underscrutinized by scholars working on girard's theory, and it is mostly overlooked within the natural and social sciences" he posits that archaic religion (or "the sacred"), particularly in its dynamics of sacrifice and ritual, is a neglected and major key to unlocking the enigma of "how we became humansee oxfam website for delivery information read more

In the end of time, the british theoretical physicist julian barbour describes the coming revolution in our understanding of the world: a quantum theory of the universe that brings together einstein's general theory of relativity, which denies the existence of a unique time, and quantum mechanics, which demands onealthough the laws of physics create a powerful impression that time is flowing, in fact there are only timeless 'nows'finally, in a lucid and eloquent epilogue, the author speculates on the philosophical implications of his theory: does free will exist? is time travel possible? how did the universe begin? where is heaven? does the denial of time make life meaningless? written with exceptional clarity and elegance, this profound and original work presents a dazzlingly powerful argument that all will be able to follow, but no-one with an interest in the workings of the universe will be able to ignoreoxfam bookshop cheltenham time is an illusionbarbour believes that only the most radical of ideas can resolve the conflict between these two theories: that there is, quite literally, no time at allthe heart of the book is the author's lucid description of how a world of stillness can appear to be teeming with motion: in this timeless world where all possible instants coexist, complex mathematical rules of quantum mechanics bind together a special selection of these instants in a coherent order that consciousness perceives as the flow of timeunifying thinking that has never been brought together before in a book for the general reader, barbour reveals the true architecture of the universe and demonstrates how physics is coming up sharp against the extraordinary possibility that the sense of time passing emerges from a universe that is timelessthis is the first full-length account of the crisis in our understanding that has enveloped quantum cosmologysee oxfam website for delivery information read more
