The Culture of Criticism and the Criticism of Culture

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gunn, Giles B., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, Giles Gunn's important new work is at once a provocative defense of the kind of moral reflection once associated in America with the writings of Lionel Trilling and Edmund Wilson and an acknowledgement that this pragmatic legacy must be reevaluated in the light of challenges posed by structuralist and post-structuralist theory. Including detailed discussions of such thinkers as Kenneth Burke, Clifford Geertz, Mikhail Bakhtin, Richard Rorty, Trilling, and Wilson, Gunn challenges the assumptions of modern criticism with a revised interpretation of pragmatism and its critical legacy. Part critical analysis, part philosophical argument, part literary and cultural history, this work is a carefully delineated vision of what criticism actively engaged in its society can accomplish.

Class and Social Development: A New Theory of the Middle

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Johnson, Dale L., PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), The essays in this volume expound a new theoretical perspective on the formation and function of the middle class. Drawing on currents within Marxism, particularly Marxist structuralism, the essays first re-examine the basic tenets of class structure theory, then develop their own approach and methodology. This approach is then applied to the study of the North American intermediate class. Why is it sometimes liberal and progressive, sometimes a social basis for right-wing reaction?...specialists in Marxist class theory will find it covers most recent developments in analysis and is constructively self-critical.' -- "Reviewing Sociology, Vol 3, Issue

Quantum Mechanics of Fundamental Systems: The Quest for

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Henneaux, Marc / Zanelli, Jorge, PUBLISHER: Springer, This is a collection of contributed papers by former collaborators and colleagues of Claudio Bunster (formerly Teitelboim). The topics include General Relativity, Quantum Gravity, String Theory; from historical reviews to current research; from mathematical structures underlying the fundamental interactions, to cosmological scenarios describing the universe at its birth. Each contribution covers a topic in a self-contained manner, including all the references and illustrations to make it easy to read separately. The volume covers a number of important topics in theoretical physics of the last 30 years. Many of the seeds of string theory like supergravity, the AdS/CFT correspondence, p-form fields, electric-magnetic dualities, were discovered first in the context of gravitation by Bunster and his collaborators. This volume is rooted in this tradition and makes it an interesting source for theoretical physicists engaged in current research.

Direct Methods in the Theory of Elliptic Equations

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Necas, Jindrich / Tronel, Gerard / Kufner, Alois, PUBLISHER: Springer, Necas's famous book Direct methods in the theory of elliptic equations has become standard reference material on the mathematical theory of linear elliptic equations and systems, and also on the related function spaces framework. It provides a concise and self-contained introduction to the modern theory of partial differential equations, the theory of weak solutions and related topics. It is recommended to scientists working in the field of partial differential equations, postgraduate and graduate students, and applied mathematicians. The first chapter is devoted to directs methods, introduction to the Sobolev spaces, weak solution, Lax-Milgram theorem, Galerkin metods and spectral theory. The second chapter deals with the basic properties of Sobolev spaces (imbeddings, traces, compact imbeddings, fractional spaces).The third chapter contains existence and uniqueness theorems for problems, including the Fredholm alternative and systems of equations with variable coefficients. The next chapter describes regularity properties of weak solutions. Chapter 5 deals with applications of Rellich's inequality and Chapter 6 introduces the Sobolev spaces with weights. Finally the last chapter studies regularity of solutions and their dependence on coefficients and also on irregular domains.

The Electrical Properties of Disordered Metals

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dugdale, J. S. / Clarke, D. R. / Suresh, S., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The theory of metallic conduction has, until recently, been confined to crystalline metals with atoms in regular arrays. The discovery of solid amorphous alloys led to an explosion of measurements of their electronic properties, and the emergence of a range of interesting low temperature phenomena. The book describes in physical terms the theory of the electrical conductivity, Hall coefficient, magnetoresistance and thermopower of disordered metals and alloys. The author begins by showing how conventional Boltzmann theory can be extended and modified when the mean free path of the conduction electrons becomes comparable with their wavelength and interionic separation. Dugdale explores the consequences of this and tests the theory by applying it to experimental data on metallic glasses. Designed as a self-contained review, the book will appeal to nonspecialist physicists, metallurgists and chemists with an interest in disordered metals.
