Dreamcrafting

Autor: Paul Levesque , Art Mcneil

Número de Páginas: 313

Many people set out to achieve a dream-starting a business or learning to play the piano or publishing a book-but they don't succeed, and the dream fizzles away. In many cases, these people have lots of skills and expertise, such as deep knowledge of the business or career they are interested in, so why don't they succeed? Paul Levesque and Art McNeil have discovered that making a dream come true requires cultivating skills of a higher order-macroskills-that inevitably spell the difference between success and failure no matter what the specifics of a person's dreams are. These are the skills Dreamcrafting outlines in detail.

Selected Mathematical Works

Autor: Lewis Carroll

Número de Páginas: 360

In "Selected Mathematical Works," Lewis Carroll, known predominantly for his whimsical narratives, unveils his profound insights into the realm of mathematics through a unique blend of clarity and creativity. The collection showcases Carroll's ability to intertwine logical reasoning with playful language, reflecting his dual passion for mathematics and literature. Ranging from his famous work on symbolic logic to his explorations of mathematical puzzles, the text exemplifies the Victorian fascination with both calculation and philosophical inquiry, inviting readers to ponder the nature of infinity, the mysteries of combinatorics, and the foundations of logic itself. Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was not only a renowned author but also a mathematician and logician. His educational background at Oxford, where he studied mathematics and later became a lecturer, profoundly influenced his writing. The juxtaposition of his scholarly pursuits with his literary creativity is vividly demonstrated in this collection; it reflects his belief in the importance of playful thinking as an essential tool in understanding complex mathematical concepts.

Vagueness in Context

Autor: Stewart Shapiro

Número de Páginas: 241

Stewart Shapiro's aim in Vagueness in Context is to develop both a philosophical and a formal, model-theoretic account of the meaning, function, and logic of vague terms in an idealized version of a natural language like English. It is a commonplace that the extensions of vague terms vary with such contextual factors as the comparison class and paradigm cases. A person can be tall with respect to male accountants and not tall (even short) with respect to professionalbasketball players. The main feature of Shapiro's account is that the extensions (and anti-extensions) of vague terms also vary in the course of a conversation, even after the external contextual features, such as the comparison class, are fixed. A central thesis is that in some cases, a competent speaker ofthe language can go either way in the borderline area of a vague predicate without sinning against the meaning of the words and the non-linguistic facts. Shapiro calls this open texture, borrowing the term from Friedrich Waismann.The formal model theory has a similar structure to the supervaluationist approach, employing the notion of a sharpening of a base interpretation. In line with the philosophical account,...

Lewis Carroll

Autor: Edward Wakeling

Número de Páginas: 400

Bestselling author, pioneering photographer, mathematical don and writer of nonsense verse, Lewis Carroll remains a source of continuing fascination. Though many have sought to understand this complex man he remains for many an enigma. Now leading international authority, Edward Wakeling, offers his unique appraisal of the man born Charles Dodgson but whom the world knows best as Lewis Carroll, author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. This new biography of Carroll presents a fresh appraisal based upon his social circle. Contrary to the claims of many previous authors, Carroll's circle was not child centred: his correspondence was enormous, numbering almost 100,000 items at the time of his death, and included royalty and many of the leading artists, illustrators, publishers, academics, musicians and composers of the Victorian era. Edward Wakeling draws upon his personal database of nearly 6,000 letters, mostly never before published, to fill the gaps left by earlier biographies and resolve some of the key myths that surround Lewis Carroll, such as his friendships with children and his drug-taking. Meticulously researched and based upon a lifetime's...
