Logic and Computation: Interactive Proof with Cambridge Lcf

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Paulson, Lawrence C., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Logic and Computation is concerned with techniques for formal theorem-proving, with particular reference to Cambridge LCF (Logic for Computable Functions). Cambridge LCF is a computer program for reasoning about computation. It combines methods of mathematical logic with domain theory, the basis of the denotational approach to specifying the meaning of statements in a programming language. This book consists of two parts. Part I outlines the mathematical preliminaries: elementary logic and domain theory. They are explained at an intuitive level, giving references to more advanced reading. Part II provides enough detail to serve as a reference manual for Cambridge LCF. It will also be a useful guide for implementors of other programs based on the LCF approach.

Architecture for the Screen: A Critical Study of Set Design

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ramirez, Juan Antonio / Rammrez, Juan Antonio / Moffitt, John F., PUBLISHER: McFarland & Company, It is unlikely that you have ever found yourself trapped inside a burning skyscraper or entombed within an Egyptian pyramid. Nonetheless, you probably have some idea of these and many other places because of their portrayal on screen. The movies have overcome the constraints of time and place by bringing us images of diverse and otherwise unfamiliar settings. This work covers the many applications of art and architecture appearing in the movies produced in Hollywood from the very beginning until the fifties. The first chapters deal with the process of design, construction, physical characteristics and immediate functions of a wide variety of architectural sets. The remaining chapters examine the great number of styles shown in those movies and take the reader up to the final triumph of modernist architecture in the aftermath of the Second World War.

Universitas: The Social Restructuring of American

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Boudreau, Tom / Boudreau, Thomas E. / Carfora, John M., PUBLISHER: Praeger, Believing that current educational policies and practices in American institutions of higher learning contribute to an incoherent, disjunctive, and wasteful four-year experience for many undergraduates, the author provides a sense of new direction to aid in the restructuring and reform of undergraduate education in America. The primary question of the work is: How can the years of undergraduate education empower the student with the knowledge and integrated set of skills needed for a lifetime of learning and productive work? Boudreau focuses on the primary responsibility of all institutions of higher learning to provide a superior undergraduate education. All other functions of a university should be secondary to this commitment. Unfortunately, this basic premise seems lost today. This work argues that universities must undergo significant reform and renewal, especially at the undergraduate level, if they are to prepare students successfully for the future.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ross, Sara G., PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, Indigenous autonomy is a highly prevalent issue within contemporary Latin American society as indigenous groups and movements from countries across the region become increasingly vocal in their demand for autonomy. Autonomy in these cases is being sought out by indigenous groups as a means of attaining equality within the state while also gaining greater control over their cultures, economies and territories. The majority of demands for indigenous autonomy in Latin America have yet to be met satisfactorily and, as a result, the relatively successful establishment and maintenance of San BlAs Kuna territorial autonomy in Panama stands out. This book will examine the effectiveness and relevance of territorial autonomy within Latin America. Specifically, Kuna territorial autonomy will be considered with a focus on the particular strategies employed in its establishment and maintenance as well as how this successful territorial autonomy functions in practice.

Quest for Fruition Through Ngoma: Political Aspects of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: van Dijk, Rijk / Spierenburg, Marja / Reis, Ria, PUBLISHER: Ohio University Press, This study has arisen out of a fascination with the vibrant nature of African societies, their vitality, and particularly the way in which they seem to be able time and again to overcome tribulation and turmoil. In the southern African region, ngoma, an indigenous ritual of healing, dance, rhythm, and rhyme, is at the heart of the social effort of turning the tables for individuals and communities so that their well-being is restored. This volume investigates ngoma in its many culturally diverse manifestations. It seeks to explore how these manifestations are perceived, how they function in relation to the needs of individuals and communities, and how they maintain their key functions in the face of modern developments and institutions. The contributions included here transmit an appreciation of the social capability of African societies to turn misfortune, affliction, and repression into a valued experience of growth and fulfillment.

Self-Same Songs: Autobiographical Performances and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Porter, Roger J., PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, "Self-Same Songs" constitutes a major contribution to the growing literary study of autobiography. Using a range of authors, including Homer, Edward Gibbon, Benjamin Franklin, Somerset Maugham, Franz Kafka, and Eugene Delacroix, Roger J. Porter offers a broad-based examination of the autobiography and the varied techniques used by its practitioners over time. In a style that is both graceful and erudite, Porter focuses on the diverse motivations and rhetorical functions that the act of self-writing serves for particular writers. He reflects on the texts not only as an exploration of self-identity but also as the writers' attempts to modify the life in the act of writing about it. Then, stepping out of his critical role, Porter ends each chapter with an autobiographical discussion of his professional and personal engagement with the autobiographer under discussion, creating an intriguing and absorbing literary autobiography within the critical text.
