A Dictionary for Dreamers (Paperback): Tom Chetwynd A Dictionary for Dreamers (Paperback)
Tom Chetwynd
R1,047 Discovery Miles 10 470 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Originally published in Great Britain in 1972 and distilled from the collective wisdom of the great interpreters of dreams - Freud, Jung, Adler, Stekel and Gutheil, among others - this comprehensive key to the baffling language of dream symbolism is a thought-provoking and invaluable guide to the uncharted country of the mind. Tom Chetwynd has isolated for the first time the rich meanings of over 500 archetypal symbols from the indiscriminate mass of dream material, and rated the likelihoods of the various possible interpretation in each case. Here are the essential clues to understanding the ingeniously disguised, life-enriching, often urgent messages to be found in dreams.

How did a single genre of text have the power to standardise the English language across time and region, rival the Bible in notions of authority, and challenge our understanding of objectivity, prescription, and description? Since the first monolingual dictionary appeared in 1604, the genre has sparked evolution, innovation, devotion, plagiarism, and controversy. This comprehensive volume presents an overview of essential issues pertaining to dictionary style and content and a fresh narrative of the development of English dictionaries throughout the centuries. Essays on the regional and global nature of English lexicography (dictionary making) explore its power in standardising varieties of English and defining nations seeking independence from the British Empire: from Canada to the Caribbean. Leading scholars and lexicographers historically contextualise an array of dictionaries and pose urgent theoretical and methodological questions relating to their role as tools of standardisation, prestige, power, education, literacy, and national identity.

There is no single Asian language. But plenty of vogue words from this booming continent are entering English. Did you know there is a flower named after former dictator Kim Jong-il? The Chinese have a word shengnu, literally leftover for the new phenomenon of unmarried women over thirty. Can you tell your jeepney from your jilbab, or yakuza from the yellowshirts? These are just some of the hundreds of words that illuminate little corners of life and culture in a pan-Asian selection of keywords from the zeitgeist."

Historical Dictionary of Medical Ethics (Hardcover): Laurence B. McCullough Historical Dictionary of Medical Ethics (Hardcover)
Laurence B. McCullough
R2,671 Discovery Miles 26 710 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Medical ethics is the disciplined study of medical morality, with two goals: critically appraising current medical morality and identifying how it should be improved. Medical morality has three components. Physicians, patients, communities, and policy makers have beliefs about what is good and bad character, and right and wrong behavior, in patient care, biomedical research, medical education, and health policy. On the basis of these beliefs, physicians, patients, communities, and policy makers make judgments about how physicians ought to conduct themselves in patient care, research, education, and the formation and implementation of health policy. They then act on their judgments. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Medical Ethics contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1,000 cross-referenced entries on ethical reasoning and its key components; medical ethics, professional medical ethics, and bioethics; and topics in clinical ethics, research ethics, and healthcare policy ethics. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about medical ethics.

In his concise Introduction, Eric Steinberg explores the conditions that led Hume to write the Enquiry and the work's important relationship to Book I of Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature .

Die Ekonomiese en Bedryfswoordeboek bestryk die terrein van sowel die makro- en mikro-ekonomie as die bedryfslewe. Dit bevat die belangrikste en mees gebruikte terme van die bedryfsekonomie in al sy onderdele, soos bemarking, produksie, finansiering en kosteberekening, asook die belangrikste en mees gebruikte tegniese en vakterme uit die mielie- en veebedryf, goudmynbou, die bou- en staalbedryf, die tekstielbedryf en ander bedryfstakke uit die nywerheid. Die versekeringswese en die groot- en kleinhandel uit die dienstesektor word ook gedek. Daarby is 'n verskeidenheid terme uit verwante vakgebiede ingesluit, soos vakwoorde uit die wiskunde, die statistiek, die handelsreg en die rekenaarkunde.Bylaes met afkortings, sinoniemgroepe en 'n waardevolle gids tot die gebruik van Afrikaanse en Engelse terme verhoog die waarde van die woordeboek. Since the publication of the first edition of the Economics Dictionary in 1976 many developments have resulted in the observation that this work required thorough revision. Several of the Afrikaans terms showed little viability, many terms were missing from both the English and Afrikaans texts, strong growth in the economic literature and that of related sciences, together with developments in the business world, called for Afrikaans terms, while the publication of a number of Afrikaans texts offered a valuable source of new terminology. This major new dictionary is a thoroughly revised and greatly enlarged edition of the Economics Dictionary of 1976. With English as source language the number of headwords more than doubled - from 40 000 to nearly 100 000.
