A COMPANION TO CHOMSKYWidely considered to be one of the most important public intellectuals of our time, Noam Chomsky has revolutionized modern linguistics. His thought has had a profound impact upon the philosophy of language, mind, and science, as well as the interdisciplinary field of cognitive science which his work helped to establish. Now, in this new Companion dedicated to his substantial body of work and the range of its influence, an international assembly of prominent linguists, philosophers, and cognitive scientists reflect upon the interdisciplinary reach of Chomsky's intellectual contributions.Balancing theoretical rigor with accessibility to the non-specialist, the Companion is organized into eight sections--including the historical development of Chomsky's theories and the current state of the art, comparison with rival usage-based approaches, and the relation of his generative approach to work on linguistic processing, acquisition, semantics, pragmatics, and philosophy of language. Later chapters address Chomsky's rationalist critique of behaviorism and related empiricist approaches to psychology, as well as his insistence upon a "Galilean" methodology in cognitive science. Following a brief discussion of the relation of his work in linguistics to his work on political issues, the book concludes with an essay written by Chomsky himself, reflecting on the history and character of his work in his own words.A significant contribution to the study of Chomsky's thought, A Companion to Chomsky is an indispensable resource for philosophers, linguists, psychologists, advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and general readers with interest in Noam Chomsky's intellectual legacy as one of the great thinkers of the twentieth century.

Auf internationaler Ebene, so seitens politischer Entscheidungsträger, Klinikern und Ärzten, Graduierten und Laien, wächst das Interesse an der Bindungstheorie. Dennoch werden die Publikationen führender Forscher und auch wichtige theoretische und empirische Abhandlungen häufig kaum gelesen oder verstanden. Grundsatztexte sind nicht direkt zugänglich. Die Theorie wird häufig missverstanden, auch von Praktikern in ihrer täglichen Arbeit. Hinzu kommt, dass die Bindungstheorie mitunter falsch angewandt wird. Zurückzuführen ist dies teilweise auf den Umstand, dass Grundsatztexte in Zeitschriften erscheinen, die nicht frei zugänglich ist, oder in Büchern veröffentlicht werden, die Klinikern und interessierten Lesern nicht präsent oder die zu teuer sind. Dieses Buch soll zum einen prägnant und zugänglich sein, zum anderen die Bindungstheorie auf interessante Weise, aktuell und mit all ihren Facetten präsentieren. Es enthält Nachdrucke sorgfältig ausgewählter Buchkapitel und Zeitungsartikel sowie bislang unveröffentlichtes Material des Begründers der Bindungstheorie.

TRANSCATHETER MITRAL VALVE THERAPIES An essential survey of the advancing field of transcatheter mitral valve repair and replacementMinimally invasive transcatheter therapies have revolutionized the treatment of structural heart disease. Greatly improving outcomes for higher-risk patients, transcatheter aortic valve replacement is now established as a safe and effective alternative to invasive surgery. The mitral valve, however, poses further challenges.
