The strong development in research on grammatical number in recent
years has created a need for a unified perspective. The different
frameworks, the ramifications of the theoretical questions, and the
diversity of phenomena across typological systems, make this a
significant challenge. This book addresses the challenge with a
series of in-depth analyses of number across a typologically
diverse sample, unified by a common set of descriptive and analytic
questions from a semantic, morphological, syntactic, and discourse
perspective. Each case study is devoted to a single language, or in
a few cases to a language group. They are written by specialists
who can rely on first-hand data or on material of difficult access,
and can place the phenomena in the context of the respective
system. The studies are preceded and concluded by critical
overviews which frame the discussion and identify the main results
and open questions. With specialist chapters breaking new ground,
this book will help number specialists relate their results to
other theoretical and empirical domains, and it will provide a
reliable guide to all linguists and other researchers interested in
number.
Of the many Cold War radio DJs who broadcast to the USSR, Seva
Novgorodsev must be near the top of the list. A masterful BBC
presenter, Seva was considered a sage of rock ‘n’ roll. His
programs introduced forbidden western popular music and culture
into the USSR, rendering him an “enemy voice†and ideological
saboteur to the Central Committee of the Communist Party. Despite
KGB threats and constant media pillorying, Seva remained on the air
for 38 years, acquiring millions of listeners all across the
breadth of the USSR and beyond. He became a cult phenomenon,
dismantling the Soviet way of life in the hearts and minds of
youth. This is the story of Russia’s first and best-known DJ.

New and enlarged edition. Transpersonal Psychology concerns the
study of those states, processes, and events in which people
experience a deeper sense of who they are, or a greater sense of
connectedness to nature, other people, or the spiritual dimension.
Michael Daniels PhD taught the subject to postgraduate level for
more than 30 years and this book brings together the fruits of his
research. It will be of special interest to students, teachers, and
practitioners, while its accessible style will appeal to all
seeking greater understanding of this fascinating and challenging
field. This revised and enlarged edition incorporates new material
from the author's later writings and presentations. It also
addresses important developments in transpersonal theory and
research that have occurred in recent years, bringing a fresh
perspective on contemporary issues and debates.
Transpersonal Psychology concerns the study of those states and
processes in which people experience a deeper sense of who they
are, or a greater sense of connectedness with others, with nature,
or the spiritual dimension. Pioneered by respected researchers such
as Jung, Maslow and Tart, it has nonetheless struggled to find
recognition among mainstream scientists. Now that is starting to
change. Dr. Michael Daniels teaches the subject as part of a
broadly-based psychology curriculum, and this book brings together
the fruits of his studies over recent years. It will be of special
value to students, and its accessible style will appeal also to all
who are interested in the spiritual dimension of human experience.
The book includes a detailed 38-page glossary of terms and detailed
indexes.
Following on from the 2017 House 1 project, a public architectural
intervention in Zurich, ALICE's teaching programme and the All
About Space series enter the realm of urban and suburban space. The
series' latest volume Beyond the Object: The Imagination of Space
proposes an alternative idea and cultural history of architecture
that is derived from the notion of spatial design rather than that
of technical objects and constructions. Thus current topics like
urban planning, the correlation of public and private spaces,
social and economic development are wrapped up into more general
questions: What are our common and scientific understandings of
space and spatial correlations and how can they apply to
contemporary architectural practice and education? The underlying
narrative of Beyond the Object: The Imagination of Space is loosely
tied to the exemplary urban context of Zurich. Yet it addresses the
topic with decidedly global scope. And like the previous books The
Invention of Space and House 1 Catalogue, the new volume combines
fact with fiction to broaden the view upon future scenarios.
