For centuries, the ancient tradition, and classical mythology in particular, has been a common reference point for whole hosts of creators of culture, across many parts of the world, and with the new media and globalization only increasing its impact. Thus, in our research at this stage, we have decided to study how the authors of literary and audiovisual texts for youth make use of the ancient myths to support their young protagonists (and readers or viewers) in crucial moments of their existence, on their road into adulthood, and in those dark hours when it seems that life is about to shatter and fade away. However, if Hope is summoned in time, the crisis can be overcome and the protagonist grows stronger, with a powerful uplifting message for the public. [...] Owing to this, we get a chance to remain true to our ideas, to keep faith in our dreams, and, when the decisive moment comes, to choose not hatred but love, not darkness but light.

This volume is the fourth of its kind devoted to the analysis of the relations between language and different scientific disciplines from 1700 to 1900. Here, forty texts on biology and related fields as compiled in the Corpus of English life sciences texts (CELiST) constitute the basis for the fifteen studies describing scientific discourse on both methodological issues, the period and the status of the discipline itself as well as pilot studies. CELiST is accompanied by an updated version of the Corun?a Corpus Tool (CCT), a purpose-designed software. Both the tool and the corpus are freely accessible at the Repositorio Universidade Corun?a: CCT at http://hdl.handle.net/2183/21850 and CELiST at https://ruc.udc.es/dspace/handle/2183/25720 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.17979/spudc.9788497497848). The book is addressed to an international readership. It is of interest for university libraries as well as other academic institutions/societies and individual scholars specialised in corpus linguistics and historical linguistics all over the world"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLife sciences$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aLife sciences$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLife sciences literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLife sciences$xHistory 615 0$aLife sciences$xHistory 615 0$aLife sciences literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a410.188 702 $aRioboo$b Gonzalo Camin?a 702 $aLareo Marti?n$b Ine?s 702 $aMoskowich$b Isabel 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827051003321 996 $a"All families and genera"$93967623 997 $aUNINA
