The book focuses in particular on the ways the logics of these metaphors inform sovereignty's conceptualization as a "body of power." Each chapter is organized around a key tropological operation performed on that "body," from the analogical relations...

This open access book presents a thorough look at tortuosity and microstructure effects in porous materials. The book delivers a comprehensive review of the subject, summarizing all key results in the field with respect to the underlying theories, empirical data available in the literature, modern methodologies and calculation approaches, and quantitative relationships between microscopic and macroscopic properties. It thoroughly discusses up to 20 different types of tortuosity and introduces a new classification scheme and nomenclature based on direct geometric tortuosities, indirect...

Der zweite Band der philosophischen Korrespondenz zeigt Leibniz wahrend seiner Tatigkeit in Hannover und Wolfenbuttel, unterbrochen durch die mehrjahrige Reise nach Suddeutschland und Italien (1687 1690).

Wichtige metaphysische Diskussionen werden ebenfalls im Briefwechsel mit...
