Geometries Of Nature, Living Systems And Human Cognition: New Interactions Of Mathematics With Natural Sciences And Humanities
Author: Luciano BoiPublisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814479454
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
The collection of papers forming this volume is intended to provide a deeper study of some mathematical and physical subjects which are at the core of recent developments in the natural and living sciences. The book explores some far-reaching interfaces where mathematics, theoretical physics, and natural sciences seem to interact profoundly. The main goal is to show that an accomplished movement of geometrisation has enabled the discovery of a great variety of amazing structures and behaviors in physical reality and in living matter. The diverse group of expert mathematicians, physicists and natural scientists present numerous new results and original ideas, methods and techniques. Both academic and interdisciplinary, the book investigates a number of important connections between mathematics, theoretical physics and natural sciences including biology.

Book Description
Richard Sakwa's Russian Politics and Society is the most comprehensive study of Russia's post-communist political development. It has, since its first publication in 1993, become an indispensable guide for all those who need to know about the current political scene in Russia, about the country's political stability and about the future of democracy under its post-communist leadership. For this second edition, Richard Sakwa has updated the text throughout and restructured its presentation so as to emphasize the ongoing struggle for stability in Russia over the last five years. This edition includes the full text of the constitution of 1993; new material on recent elections, the new parliament (State Duma and Federation Council), the development of the presidency and an evaluation of the country's political evolution during the 1990s; up-to-date details on the development of a federal system and on local government; and a thoroughly updated bibliography.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Cet ouvrage propose une méthode opérationnelle pour analyser une communication visuelle, principalement le packaging. Cette méthode, dénommée SEMIO-PACK©, permet de décoder les signes du packaging et d'établir son positionnement dans les moindres détails. Ses piliers méthodologiques sont empruntés aux discplines que sont la sémiotique, l'histoire de l'art, la communication et les sciences cognitives. Avant de présenter l'application de cette méthode à de nombreux packagings (couvrant une cinquantaine de catégories de produits grande consommation), l'ouvrage présente les fondements de la sémiotique puis les processus cognitifs et symboliques impliqués dans la perception visuelle. Cette méthode se révèle un outil indispensable pour optimiser les processus d'analyse et de création du packaging. Clés et codes du packaging s'adresse aux professionnels, étudiants et chercheurs dans les domaines du marketing, du design, de la communication et de la sémiotique ainsi qu'à toute personne curieuse de maîtriser les rouages de la communication visuelle.

Collection Thinking
Author: Jason CamlotPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000625710
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Collection Thinking is a volume of essays that thinks across and beyond critical frameworks from library, archival, and museum studies to understand the meaning of "collection" as an entity and as an act. It offers new models for understanding how collections have been imagined and defined, assembled, created, and used as cultural phenomena. Featuring over 70 illustrations and 21 original chapters that explore cases from a wide range of fields, including library and archival studies, literary studies, art history, media studies, sound studies, folklore studies, game studies, and education, Collection Thinking builds on the important scholarly works produced on the topic of the archive over the past two decades and contributes to ongoing debates on the historical status of memory institutions. The volume illustrates how the concept of "collection" bridges these institutional and structural categories, and generates discussions of cultural activities involving artifactual arrangement, preservation, curation, and circulation in both the private and the public spheres. Edited and introduced collaboratively by three senior scholars with expertise in the fields of literature, art history, archives, and museums, Collection Thinking is designed to stimulate interdisciplinary reflection and conversation. This book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners interested in how we organize materials for research across disciplines of the humanities and social sciences. With case studies that range from collecting Barbie dolls to medieval embroideries, and with contributions from practitioners on record collecting, the creation of sub-culture archives, and collection as artistic practice, this volume will appeal to anyone who has ever wondered about why and how collections are made.
