Being Lived by My Life A Sort of Autobiography

Being Lived by My Life A Sort of Autobiography

Originally published in 1957 this book was a new departure in autobiographies. It is both enlightening and entertaining. There is a happy blending of narrative reflection and occasional extracts from case histories which gives it a delightfully human character. But it is more than this. It is a story of the profound inward adventure of an exceptionally inquiring mind. From childhood to professional maturity it proceeds through economic difficulties love and tribulation to science and general medical practice. It tells how Dr Berg became so convinced of the psychogenesis of human suffering that with great courage he gave up his practice and personal security to search for the causes in mental conflict. The story proceeds through specialisation in psychiatry to analytical training and analytic practice building up in the later chapters to a description of the troubled mind in all its manifestations and of the medical analyst’s daily work. There is a new explanation of the psychology of love with the inclusion of personal as well as professional experiences. Here as throughout conclusions have an astonishing difference from orthodox or familiar speculation and this is because they are based strictly on knowledge professional and personal. The style is natural lively and lucid. Here is an opportunity to combine learning with entertainment for Dr Berg has an extraordinary flair for presenting difficult things attractively without sacrifice of scientific essentials. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1957. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication. | Being Lived by My Life A Sort of Autobiography

The Grammar of Chinese Characters Productive Knowledge of Formal Patterns in an Orthographic System

The Grammar of Chinese Characters Productive Knowledge of Formal Patterns in an Orthographic System

Anybody who reads or writes Chinese characters knows that they obey a grammar of sorts: though numerous they are built out of a much smaller set of constituents often interpretable in meaning or pronunciation that are themselves built out of an even smaller set of strokes. This book goes far beyond these basic facts to show that Chinese characters truly have a productive and psychologically real lexical grammar of the same sort seen in spoken and signed languages with non-trivial analogs of morphology (the combination of potentially interpretable constituents) phonology (formal regularities without implications for interpretation) and phonetics (articulatory and perceptual constraints). Evidence comes from a wide variety of sources from quantitative corpus analyses to experiments on character reading writing and learning. The grammatical approach helps capture how character constituents combine as they do how strokes systematically vary in different environments how character form evolved from ancient times to the modern simplified system and how readers and writers are able to process or learn even entirely novel characters. This book not only provides tools for exploring the full richness of Chinese orthography but also offers new ways of thinking about the most fundamental question in linguistic theory: what is grammar? | The Grammar of Chinese Characters Productive Knowledge of Formal Patterns in an Orthographic System

Building a People-Oriented Security Community the ASEAN way

Building a People-Oriented Security Community the ASEAN way

ASEAN has declared its intention to create a security community in Southeast Asia that is people-orientated. This book evaluates ASEAN’s progress and in doing so examines three matters of concern. The book firstly looks at the importance of constitutive norms to the workings of security communities by identifying ASEAN’s constitutive norms and the extent to which they act as a help of hindrance in establishing a security community. It then moves on to how ASEAN has interpreted people-orientated as empowering civil society organisations to be community stakeholders. The book discusses the uncertainty between how ASEAN envisages their role and the role they themselves expect to have. Civil society actors are seeking to influence what sort of community evolves and their ability to interact with the state elite is evaluated to determine what interpretation of people-oriented is likely to emerge. Thirdly in order to make progress ASEAN has sought to achieve cooperation among its member states in functional areas. The book examines this interest in functional cooperation through case studies on human rights HIV/AIDS and disaster management. By discussing the notion of ASEAN being people-orientated and how it engages with ‘the people’ the book provides important insights into what type of community ASEAN in building as well as furthering our understanding on security communities more broadly. | Building a People-Oriented Security Community the ASEAN way

Understanding Medieval Liturgy Essays in Interpretation

Understanding Medieval Liturgy Essays in Interpretation

This book provides an introduction to current work and new directions in the study of medieval liturgy. It focuses primarily on so-called occasional rituals such as burial church consecration exorcism and excommunication rather than on the Mass and Office. Recent research on such rites challenges many established ideas especially about the extent to which they differed from place to place and over time and how the surviving evidence should be interpreted. These essays are designed to offer guidance about current thinking especially for those who are new to the subject want to know more about it or wish to conduct research on liturgical topics. Bringing together scholars working in different disciplines (history literature architectural history musicology and theology) time periods (from the ninth to the fifteenth centuries) and intellectual traditions this collection demonstrates the great potential that liturgical evidence offers for understanding many aspects of the Middle Ages. It includes essays that discuss the practicalities of researching liturgical rituals; show through case studies the problems caused by over-reliance on modern editions; explore the range of sources for particular ceremonies and the sort of questions which can be asked of them; and go beyond the rites themselves to investigate how liturgy was practised and understood in the medieval period. | Understanding Medieval Liturgy Essays in Interpretation
