Lo que necesitas saber antes de viajar a Australia
by Calvin HornetDisfrutemos un poco del atractivo del país. Más de 20,000 millas de costa virgen, una serie de ciudades basadas en el ingenio y la intriga, la fauna endémica saltando por todas partes ... Aquí es donde se encuentra el monolito más grande del mundo, es el arrecife más largo, la selva más antigua, la cultura y una definición completamente nueva de desierto deshabitado. Con Australia, nunca hay un debate sobre si quieres ir. Es difícil encontrar un alma en el planeta que no esté inspirada por el pensamiento de esta inmensa nación isleña. La pregunta es más sobre cómo transformar Australia de la fantasía a la realidad. Primero son los aspectos prácticos. Simplemente volar por el país lleva cinco horas, nada más que paisaje chamuscado debajo de las puntas de las alas. Incluso en la siempre popular costa este, puede conducir durante horas sin ver nada más que las plantaciones de azúcar y el extraño canguro. El segundo es el costo. La transformación de Australia de una zona rural accidentada a una nación sofisticada no conoce fronteras, y el aumento de los costos tienen muchos visitantes que sobreviven con el vino en caja y los sándwiches de mermelada.

Locative Social Media
by Leighton EvansLocative Social Media offers a critical analysis of the effect of using locative social media on the perceptions and phenomenal experience of lived in spaces and places. It includes a comprehensive overview of the historical development of traditional mapping and global positioning technology to smartphone-based application services that incorporate social networking features as a series of modes of understanding place. Drawing on users accounts of the location-based social network Foursquare, a digital post-phenomenology of place is developed to explain how place is mediated in the digital age. This draws upon both the phenomenology of Martin Heidegger and post-phenomenology to encompass the materiality and computationality of the smartphone. The functioning and surfacing of place by the device and application, along with the orientation of the user, allows for a particular experiencing of place when using locative social media termed attunement, in contrast to an instrumentalistconception of place.

Specifically, the first three studies focus on relating semantics, while the following ones discuss fundamental issues related to hyper-intensional semantics or develop hyper-intensional frameworks to address issues in modal, epistemic, deontic and action logic. Authors in this volume present original results on logical systems but also extend beyond this by offering philosophical considerations on the topic as well. This volume will appeal to students and researchers in the field of logic.
Logic, Probability, and Presumptions in Legal Reasoning: A Collection Of Essays By Philosophers And Legal Scholars: Logic, Probability, And Presumptions In Legal Reasoning (Philosophy of Legal Reasoning: A Collection of Essays by Philosophers and Legal Scholars #No. 1)
by Scott BrewerAt least since plato and Aristotle, thinkers have pondered the relationship between philosophical arguments and the "sophistical" arguments offered by the Sophists -- who were the first professional lawyers. Judges wield substantial political power, and the justifications they offer for their decisions are a vital means by which citizens can assess the legitimacy of how that power is exercised. However, to evaluate judicial justifications requires close attention to the method of reasoning behind decisions. This new collection illuminates and explains the political and moral importance in justifying the exercise of judicial power.

Logical Form: Between Logic and Natural Language (Synthese Library #393)
by Andrea IaconaLogical form has always been a prime concern for philosophers belonging to the analytic tradition. For at least one century, the study of logical form has been widely adopted as a method of investigation, relying on its capacity to reveal the structure of thoughts or the constitution of facts. This book focuses on the very idea of logical form, which is directly relevant to any principled reflection on that method. Its central thesis is that there is no such thing as a correct answer to the question of what is logical form: two significantly different notions of logical form are needed to fulfill two major theoretical roles that pertain respectively to logic and to semantics. This thesis has a negative and a positive side. The negative side is that a deeply rooted presumption about logical form turns out to be overly optimistic: there is no unique notion of logical form that can play both roles. The positive side is that the distinction between two notions of logical form, once properly spelled out, sheds light on some fundamental issues concerning the relation between logic and language.

Lolita - The Story of a Cover Girl
by Yuri Leving John BertramWhat should Lolita look like? The question has dogged book-cover designers since 1955, when Lolita was first published in a plain green wrapper. The heroine of Vladimir Nabokov's classic novel has often been shown as a teenage seductress in heart-shaped glasses--a deceptive image that misreads the book but has seeped deep into our cultural life, from fashion to film. Lolita - The Story of a Cover Girl: Vladimir Nabokov's Novel in Art and Design reconsiders the cover of Lolita. Eighty renowned graphic designers and illustrators (including Paula Scher, Jessica Hische, Jessica Helfand, and Peter Mendelsund) offer their own takes on the book's jacket, while graphic-design critics and Nabokov scholars survey more than half a century of Lolita covers. You'll also find thoughtful essays from such design luminaries as Mary Gaitskill, Debbie Millman, Michael Bierut, Peter Mendelsund, Jessica Helfand, Alice Twemlow, Johanna Drucker, Leland de la Durantaye, Ellen Pifer, and Stephen Blackwell. Through the lenses of design and literature, Lolita - The Story of a Cover Girl tells the strange design history of one of the most important novels of the 20th century--and offers a new way for thinking visually about difficult books. You'll never look at Lolita the same way again.
