Review Argumentations Theorie: Scholastische Forschungen Zu Den Logischen Und Semantischen Regeln Korrekten Folgerns (Studien Und Texte Zur Geistesgeschichte ... Zur Geistesgeschichte Des Mittelalters) / Brill Academic Publishers:Dialectic as the doctrine/art of disputing for and against a given thesis held a central position at the medieval schools and universities. The intensive examination of medieval manuscript sources in recent years has revealed the fertility and subtlety of scholastic thinking and its relevance to the modern study of logic and the philosophy of language. The contributions to this volume focus on a series of questions which were central to scholastic logic, the questions concerning the validity of argumentation and proof. The 35 papers range from examinations of basic questions of syntax and semantics and of the theory of inference through presentations of the rules which define logical consistency, to treatments on the use of logic in the natural sciences, in practical discourse and in theology. The papers provide a survey of the current state of research in both its historical and systematic aspects. The parallel English and German introductions link the individual papers to give an introduction to the scholastic theory of argumentation, which should also be comprehensible to non-specialists.

Review The Texas Rangers: Notes from the Architectural Underground / The MIT Press:Introduction by Charles W. Moore Between 1951 and 1957, a group of young men came to teach at the University of Texas School of Architecture in Austin. These "Texas Rangers," as they later came to be called - Bernhard Hoesli, Colin Rowe, John Hejduk, Robert Slutzky, Lee Hodgden, John Shaw, and Werner Seligmann, among others - created an unprecedented teaching program that challenged the important pedagogies of the time, and that contained in large part the origins and explanations for a postmodern revolution in architecture. Ten years in the making, Alexander Caragonne's lively, fully illustrated story documents one of the most significant chapter in the history of postwar American architectural education. Challenging the anti-intellectual tendencies both of the pragmatic, regionalist American tradition and of the modernist pedagogy inspired by the Bauhaus, the new curriculum proposed that a workable, useful body of architectural theory could be derived from an ongoing critique of significant buildings and projects across history and cultures. Visualization and organization of architectural space was emphasized over the shaping of mass, along with the recognition and development of the architectural idea. Gestalt psychological concepts for evaluating and describing architectural form and space were encouraged, and the value of historical precedent in the design process recognized. Caragonne pulls together the disparate strands of a program - a critique of a mainstream architectural culture and education - that has for many years remained a kind of dimly perceived underground. Figuring largely in his account are the mythical figure of Colin Rowe and Bernhard Hoesli, whose collaboration provided the intellectual basis of the new curriculum. Caragonne, who witnessed the events as an undergraduate in the School of Architecture, describes Rowe's background and his reintroduction of architectural history into the design studio. [+]He also provides a detailed analysis of the teaching program and its subsequent influence on architectural education and thought.

Review Monograph of Living Chitons / Brill Academic Publishers:Chitons form a peculiar and highly interesting class of molluscs, known with certainty to exist since the Ordovician, and widespread in all world seas, with great concentrations along the west coast of North America and in Australia, to depths from 0 to over 7,000m. During the past decades taxonomists all over the world have much contributed to our knowledge of the chitons and their synonymy. The book series "Monographs of Living Chitons", aimed, after a careful study of the type material, to systematically describe and illustrate every known - or hitherto unknown - species. The 5 volumes, published since 1985 have now been collected on this CD-ROM, and will thus provide a wealth of information, including illustrations and maps about the worldwide distribution, of known species. Details of all 5 published volumes can be found on www. brill. nl. Easy navigation and full search features are ensured through hyperlinks in the text, figures, maps and (cumulative) index. This CD-ROM is, therefore, very useful for anyone interested in malacology.

Review The Literary Coptic Manuscripts in the A.S. Pushkin State Fine Arts Museum in Moscow (Supplements to Vigiliae Christianae, Vol 18) (Supplements to Vigiliae Christianae, Vol 18) / Brill Academic Publishers:This volume contains the first complete publication of the collection of Coptic literary manuscripts now in the A. S. Pushkin Fine Arts Museum, Moscow. The collection formed in 1870-1908 by Vladimir Golenischev is of great value since it covers almost the entire field of early Christian literature in Egypt and substantially aids to fill up serious lacunae in many well-known literary works, to say nothing of the texts hitherto unknown. Important is also the fact that Coptica Golenischeviana largely derives from the library of St. Shenoute's monastery at Sohag, this virtual National Library of Christian Egypt, the source of the riches of the museums and libraries of Paris, Vienna, Berlin etc.

Review Uniform Approximations by Trigonometric Polynomials / Walter de Gruyter:The theory of approximation of functions is one of the central branches in mathematical analysis and has been developed over a number of decades. This monograph deals with a series of problems related to one of the directions of the theory, namely, the approximation of periodic functions by trigonometric polynomials generated by linear methods of summation of Fourier series. More specificly, the following linear methods are investigated: classical methods of Fourier, Fejer, Riesz, and Roginski. For these methods the so-called Kolmogorov-Nikol'skii problem is considered, which consists of finding exact and asymptotically exact qualities for the upper bounds of deviations of polynomials generated by given linear methods on given classes of 2-periodic functions. Much attention is also given to the multidimensional case.
