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 phenomenonsome formal linguistic theories posit a second set of acquisition processes to connect somehow with an innate universal grammarsee oxfam website for delivery information read moreconstructing 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 themtomasello argues that the essence of language is its symbolic dimension, which rests on the uniquely human ability to comprehend intentiontheir linguistic ability is interwoven with other cognitive abilitiesdrawing 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 languagefor all its empirical weaknesses, chomskian generative grammar has ruled the linguistic world for forty yearsall theories of language acquisition assume these fundamental skills of intention-reading and pattern-finding

" 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 explanation" this major claim has, however, remained underscrutinized by scholars working on girard's theory, and it is mostly overlooked within the natural and social sciencesoxfam 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 hypothesissee oxfam website for delivery information read more" 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 humanjoining 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

Oxfam bookshop preston for more than three decades john searle has been developing and elaborating a unified theory of language and mindthough the developing theory has been presented in a steady stream of books and articles over the last thirty years, two items stand out as major landmarks: the publication of speech acts in and of intentionality insee oxfam website for delivery information read morejohn searle and his critics proceeds from an analysis of the importance and influence of these two works to an overall assessment of searle's impact in the philosophy of language, of mind, of social explanation, and of reference and intentionalityboth of these seminal books offer structural theories: that is, they analyze the items within their domains (speech acts and mental states) as having a structure which allows for variation along a number of parameterssome annotations in ink, but this book is otherwise as newwhat has emerged is an impressive and detailed account of intentionality embracing both mental states and linguistic behavioureach of the chapters has been newly commissioned from a leading scholar in the relevant field and each section concludes with a summary and response from searle himself

He applies the rules of evolution in nature to the evolution of science, arguing that the same kinds of forces responsible for shaping the rise and demise of species also act on the development of scientific ideasbowler, archives of natural history "i have been doing philosophy of science now for twenty-five years, and whilst i would never have claimed that i knew everything, i felt that i had a really good handle on the nature of science, again and again, hull was able to show me just how incomplete my understanding wasit contains excellent short histories of evolutionary biology and of systematics (the science of classifying living things); an important and original account of modern systematic controversy; a counter-attack against the philosophical critics of evolutionary philosophy; social-psychological evidence, collected by hull himself, to show that science does have the character demanded by his philosophy; and a philosophical analysis of evolution which is general enough to apply to both biological and historical change"-natalie angier, new york times book review"by far the most professional and thorough case in favour of an evolutionary philosophy of science ever to have been madeoxfam books & music crouch end "legend is overdue for replacement, and an adequate replacement must attend to the process of science as carefully as hull has donemoreover, science as a process is one of the most compulsively readable books that i have ever encounteredhull takes an unusual approach to his subjectbecause of hull's deep concern with the ways in which research is actually done, science as a process begins an important project in the study of science"-philip kitcher, nature "in science as a process, david hull argues that the tension between cooperation and competition is exactly what makes science so successful"-mark ridley, times literary supplement"hull is primarily interested in how social interactions within the scientific community can help or hinder the process by which new theories and techniques get acceptedi share his vision of a serious account of the social and intellectual dynamics of science that will avoid both the rosy blur of legend and the facile charms of relativism"-michael ruse, biology and philosophy see oxfam website for delivery information read morethe claim that science is a process for selecting out the best new ideas is not a new one, but hull tells us exactly how scientists go about it, and he is prepared to accept that at least to some extent, the social activities of the scientists promoting a new idea can affect its chances of being acceptedit is one of a distinguished series of books, which hull himself edits

This book will present this theory in a systematic accountthe major successes achieved since the late s in the development of the theory of separated flows at high reynolds numbers are in many ways associated with the use of asymptotic methodsthere have been many papers devoted to different problems in the asymptotic theory of separated flows and we can confidently speak of the appearance of a very productive direction in the development of theoretical hydrodynamicssee oxfam website for delivery information read moreoxfam bookshop preston boundary-layer separation from a rigid body surface is one of the fundamental problems of classical and modern fluid dynamicsthe book will serve as a useful introduction to the theory, and will draw attention to the possibilities that application of the asymptotic approach providesthe most fruitful of these has proved to be the method of matched asymptotic expansions, which has been widely used in mechanics and mathematical physics

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 oneoxfam bookshop cheltenham time is an illusionsee oxfam website for delivery information read morebarbour believes that only the most radical of ideas can resolve the conflict between these two theories: that there is, quite literally, no time at allthis is the first full-length account of the crisis in our understanding that has enveloped quantum cosmologyunifying 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 timelessthe 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 timefinally, 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 ignorealthough the laws of physics create a powerful impression that time is flowing, in fact there are only timeless 'nows'
