D. Cohen – författare

In this book, Derek Cohen studies the relationship of Shakespearean drama to the Western culture of violence. He argues that violence is an inherent feature and form of patriarchy and that its production and control is one of the dominant motives of the political system. Shakespeare''s plays supply examples of the way in which the patriarchy of his plays - and hence, perhaps, of modern Western culture - absorbs, naturalizes, and legitimizes violence in its attempts to maintain political control over its subjects.

This book is an attempt to explore Shakespearean drama from the vantage point of the oppressed, invisible, and silent individuals and collectivities constructed in the plays. It examines the ideological apparatuses which produce and naturalise oppression and the political structures through which that oppression is sustained. Derek Cohen is concerned to demonstrate the many ways in which political and personal life, always interdependent, intersect. contradict, and disrupt one another often in the interests of and to the advantage of the dominant social ideology.

Computer games are big business - tens of billions of dollars are spent annually by the worldwide video games market. The cost of producing video games has ballooned to beyond $20 million dollars in many cases, and team sizes are quickly growing past 100 team members. At the center of this storm is the producer - one person who transforms the money, the hours spent by the team, and the latest technology into a work of art that millions of people will call fun. This book will dig deeply into the role of the producer and expose secrets of game production that stand the test of time: how to build a great team, how to plan a major game development project, and how to pull the development team toward the vision of a great game.

In light of the ongoing war against terrorism, can the United States maintain its dedication to protecting civil liberties without compromising security? At stake is nothing less than the survival of ideas associated with the modern period of political philosophy: the freedom of conscience, the inviolable rights of the individual to privacy, the constitutionally limited state, as well as the more recent refinement of late modern liberalism, multiculturalism. Contributors evaluate the need to reassess the nation's public policies, institutions, as well as its very identity. The struggle to persist as an open society in the age of terrorism will be the defining test of democracy in the Twenty-first-century.

Sleep and dreaming are manifestations in higher organisms of a fundamental ''circadian rhythm'' of inactivity-activity. During the past thirty years, research has provided a great deal of new information about the phenomenom and phenomenology of sleep, and the relationship between sleep and wakefulness. This book aims to describe, organise and interpret some of this new knowledge in order to stimulate a greater appreciation of the role of sleep and dreaming in human adaptation. The study of sleep and dreaming provides a very special perspective on human functioning. It stands in direct contrast to more traditional paradigms utilised in psychology that place the locus of explanation of human behaviour in the ''external environment''

Ce dicionnaire donne à chaque sémitisant, ne fût-il initié qu'à un seul des idiomes sémitiques, et même au linguiste non sémitisant, la possibilité sans recherches comparatives préliminaires de replacer tout mot d'une langue particulière dans l'ensemble du lexique sémitique, et de déterminer les relations formelles et sémantiques qu'il peut avoir avec ceux qui lui sont apparentés dans les autres langues.Chaque racine comme entrée est suivie, dans une première partie, des formes, transcrites et traduites, qui la représentent dans chaque langue. L'ordre dans lequel elles se succèdent est, sauf exceptions justifiées, celui-ci: akkadien, ougaritique, amorite, phénico-punique, hébreu, moabite, araméen (dialectes anciens et modernes), arabe (langue littéraire et dialectes), sudarabique (épigraphique et moderne), éthiopien (guèze, tigré, tigrigna, amharique, argobba, gafat, harari, gouragué). Le classement des sens, qui n'a d'autre but que la clarté de la présentation, n'implique aucune prise de position sur les problèmes étymologiques.Dans la mesure où des données de nature étymologique ou historique sont discutées, c'est dans la deuxième partie de chaque article qu'elles sont introduites. C'est là aussi que sont fournies les références bibliographiques. C'est enfin dans une troisièmes partie éventuelle que sont traités les rapprochements nombreux avec les autres branches du chamito-sémitique.

This volume offers a critical evaluation of seven major paradigms in psychiatry that have made significant contributions to our current under­ standing of human behavior and psychiatric disorder. It was stimulated by a meeting held in November, 1978. We met at Salishan Lodge, Oregon, to discuss some of the theoretical orientations in behavioral sciences which serve as a base for contemporary psychopathology. Each major paradigm is represented by both an advocate as well as a critic. Advocates of a position had each agreed to be criticized by an individual who may not have been particularly sympathetic to the paradigm being presented. Furthermore, the entire group of participants had ample time for discussion with both the proponent and the critic. The papers in this volume were completed following that meeting, and each author has had the benefit of the criticism and discussion. The editors believe that the unusual array of talented scientists and clinicians have made an important contribution to clinical science by elaborating their positions in the face of open discussion and are proud to be part of this body of work. We wish to thank each of the participants for helping to sustain a very high level of critical scholarly discourse, which provided the right ethos for probing some of the major conceptual models of psychopathology.
