Sommario/riassunto

This book surveys the psycholinguistic dimensions of lexical access to the mental lexicon in Japanese, and attempts to synthesize the diversity of Japanese psycholinguistic research into the nature of written word processing in Japanese. Ten chapters focus on the nature of such psycholinguistic inquiry and its history, the structural origins of the Japanese script types and their relative frequencies, lexical access studies in kanji, the hiragana and katakana syllabaries, romaji, and mixed text processing, laterality preferences in kana/kanji processing and their implications for scientific di

Domestic life and human origins (to 5000 BCE) -- The birth of the gods: family in the emergence of religions and cosmologies -- Ruling families: kinship at the dawn of politics (ca. 3000 BCE to 1450 CE) -- Family dynamics in a global frame (1400-1750) -- Families in global markets (1600-1850) -- Families in revolutionary times (1750-1920) -- Powers of life and death: families in the era of state population management (1880 to the present).

Sommario/riassunto

People have always lived in families, but what that means has varied dramatically across time and cultures. The family is not a ""natural"" phenomenon but an institution with a dynamic history stretching 10,000 years into the past. Mary Jo Maynes and Ann Waltner tell the story of this fundamental unit from the beginnings of domestication and human settlement. They consider the codification of rules governing marriage in societies around the ancient world, the changing conceptions of family wrought by the heightened pace of colonialism and globalization in the modern world, and how state polici

Sommario/riassunto

This book presents the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Static Analysis, SAS '97, held in Paris, France, in September 1997. The 23 revised papers were selected from 61 high-quality submissions on the basis of at least three reviews. Also included are one system demonstration, three posters, and six invited contributions by leading scientists. The papers are organized in topical sections on procedural languages, logic programming, concurrency, and termination.
