New Frontiers of State Constitutional Law - - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

New Frontiers of State Constitutional Law - - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

New Frontiers of State Constitutional Law: Dual Enforcement of Norms, edited by James A. Gardner and Jim Rossi, projects a new vision for state constitutional law through a collection of essays that reflect a shift in legal thinking about the relationship between national and subnational systems of constitutional law. This work charts a new course that gives voice to a recent, rising chorus of dissent among scholars and judges, namely that national and subnational systems of constitutional law cannot be adequately understood in isolation from one another. To the contrary, they are linked in a web of jurisprudential, social, and pragmatic connections structured by the American system of federalism. Here, multiple layers of constitutional law function together in a complex, interdependent process in which constitutional norms are developed, articulated, and enforced. The essays illuminate the role that state constitutions must play in any theory of federalism, and exemplify a fresh approach to state constitutionalism by discussing a range of issues, including recent debates regarding state constitutional protections for same-sex marriage. The entire work embraces the struggle between state and national power for dominance in American law and places both on equal ground. It contends that constitutional meaning in a federal system is never static and that it evolves over time. In addition to covering methods of judicial review, it discusses the handling of constitutional claims by courts at the state and national level and closely examines the way that courts and constitutions protect individual rights in a federal system.

Meeting God on the Cross - Arnfridur Gudmundsdottir - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Meeting God on the Cross - Arnfridur Gudmundsdottir - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The cross of Christ has proven to be no less of a ¨stumbling block¨ for Christians living in the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first, than it was in the first century, when the newly established community of friends and followers of Jesus Christ sought to define the foundation of their faith over against the critiques of their Jewish and Greek contemporaries. This book presents a theological reception of the contemporary feminist challenge to classical christology by means of an explicit feminist retrieval and reconstruction of a theology of the cross. Gudmundsdottir argues that a feminist theology of the cross serves a dual purpose in feminist christology: it discloses the patriarchal distortion of traditional christology, and can also reveal lost dimensions in the understanding of the person and work of Jesus Christ. Although Gudmundsdottir argues that feminist critique is an indispensable element of contemporary christology, she also claims that there is a redemptive message in the cross of Christ that is retrievable for women today. Despite its potential for abuse and indeed its well-documented history of misuse against women in the past, a theology of the cross proclaims Jesus as a divine co-sufferer who brings good news to the poor and oppressed, and as such can be a source of healing and empowerment for suffering women. The constructive task of this book is to show that a theology of the cross can indeed become a theology of hope today, offering women meaning and strength from a God who takes human form and enters redemptively into their situations of suffering.

Mental Representations - Allan Paivio - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Mental Representations - Allan Paivio - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

This work presents a systematic analysis of the psychological phenomena associated with the concept of mental representations--also referred to as cognitive or internal representations. A major restatement of a theory the author first developed in his 1971 book (Imagery and Verbal Processes), Mental Representation covers phenomena from the earlier period that remain relevant today but emphasizes cognitive problems and paradigms that have since emerged more fully. The author proposes that performance in memory and other cognitive tasks is mediated not only by linguistic processes but also by a distinct nonverbal imagery model of thought as well. He discusses the philosophy of science associated with the dual coding approach, emphasizing the advantages of empiricism in the study of cognitive phenomena and showing that the fundamentals of the theory have stood up well to empirical challenges over the years. An important contribution to the understanding of form and function of human knowledge, this book will be of interest to students and researchers in cognitive psychology, cognitive science, linguistics, and philosophy.

Locality and Logophoricity - A Theory of Exempt Anaphora - Bog af Isabelle (Associate Professor of Linguistics Charnavel - Paperback

Locality and Logophoricity - A Theory of Exempt Anaphora - Bog af Isabelle (Associate Professor of Linguistics Charnavel - Paperback

In many languages, reflexives like English herself exhibit a puzzling dual behavior: they must either obey structural constraints or perspective-related discourse constraints. Based on detailed examination of crosslinguistic data, this book proposes a unified solution to this syntax-semantics issue, which has consequences for the theories of binding and logophoricity.

Locality and Logophoricity - Isabelle Charnavel - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Locality and Logophoricity - Isabelle Charnavel - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Locality and Logophoricity investigates what the distribution of pronominal expressions in various languages can tell us about the structure of the human language faculty. The exploration of this question in the past fifty years has led to the development of a general theory of referential dependency, namely Binding Theory. This book focuses on Condition A of this theory, which concerns referentially dependent expressions such as English herself, French elle-même or Mandarin ziji. Specifically, it tackles an issue of apparent ambiguity presented by many of these reflexives across languages: in a large number of unrelated languages, we observe that the same reflexive form must obey either syntactic constraints or discourse constraints related to perspective. The specific aim of the book is to describe and explain this widespread dual behavior of reflexives. A detailed empirical investigation based mainly on systematically collected French, English, Icelandic, Mandarin, and Korean data leads the author to propose a unified solution to this issue. This proposal has consequences both for Binding Theory and for the theory of logophoricity, which addresses the impact of perspective on linguistic systems.

Treaty Interpretation, the Constitution and the Rule of Law - John Norton Moore - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Treaty Interpretation, the Constitution and the Rule of Law - John Norton Moore - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Treaty Interpretation illustrates a real world example of constitutional theory in practice. The separation of powers, as envisioned by our constitutional framers, has been a struggle of constant raging issues concerning war powers, treaty powers, information flow, and the control of intelligence. This book addresses crucial constitutional questions such as whether the United States should follow the normal international legal standard in treaty interpretation as rooted in the intent of the treaty parties, or follow a new ''dual'' standard of interpretation ostensibly rooted in the intent of the Senate.

CT Imaging - Alexander C. Mamourian - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

CT Imaging - Alexander C. Mamourian - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

CT imaging has become a mainstay of medical imaging. After 30 years this is a mature technology but the accumulation of innovations over the past decades have given it extraordinary capabilities and new applications continue to emerge. In this book Alex Mamourian uses early CT technology to explain the fundamentals of CT imaging and then builds on that base to explain how innovations such as slip-ring and multidetector arrays allow for rapid, high resolution imaging. This book covers complex applications such as CT cardiac imaging and dual-source dual-energy CT scanning as well as the pitfalls and artifacts that will be encountered in clinical practice. The book also includes chapters on the language of radiation dose and strategies for dose reduction that are essential for optimal CT imaging and patient safety.

Rationality and the Reflective Mind - Keith Stanovich - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Rationality and the Reflective Mind - Keith Stanovich - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

In Rationality and the Reflective Mind, Keith Stanovich attempts to resolve the Great Rationality Debate in cognitive science--the debate about how much irrationality to ascribe to human cognition. He shows how the insights of dual-process theory and evolutionary psychology can be combined to explain why humans are sometimes irrational even though they possess remarkably adaptive cognitive machinery. Stanovich argues that to fully characterize differences in rational thinking, we need to replace dual-process theories with tripartite models of cognition. Using a unique individual differences approach, he shows that the traditional second system (System 2) of dual-process theory must be further divided into the reflective mind and the algorithmic mind. Distinguishing them will allow us to better appreciate the significant differences in their key functions: The key function of the reflective mind is to detect the need to interrupt autonomous processing and to begin simulation activities, whereas that of the algorithmic mind is to sustain the processing of decoupled secondary representations in cognitive simulation. Stanovich then uses this algorithmic/reflective distinction to develop a taxonomy of cognitive errors made on tasks in the heuristics and biases literature. He presents the empirical data to show that the tendency to make these thinking errors is not highly related to intelligence. Using his tripartite model of cognition, Stanovich shows how, when both are properly defined, rationality is a more encompassing construct than intelligence, and that IQ tests fail to assess individual differences in rational thought. He then goes on to discuss the types of thinking processes that would be measured if rational thinking were to be assessed as IQ has been.
