This book provides a systematic study of three foundational issues in the semantics of natural language that have been relatively neglected in the past few decades.
focuses on the formal characterization of intensions, the nature of an adequate type system for natural language semantics, and the formal power of the semantic representation language
proposes a theory that offers a promising framework for developing a computational semantic system sufficiently expressive to capture the properties of natural language meaning while remaining computationally...

As globalization continues to gather momentum, the contact between business people from other countries is becoming more and more frequent. The more national boundaries a company crosses, the greater the scope for misunderstanding and conflict. To succeed internationally, it is essential to be able to break the barriers of culture, language and set patterns of thinking. The second edition of Bridging the Culture Gap is a distillation of many years' work and is based on the real-life business situations of the authors' international clients. Readers will learn how to interpret a...

Justice Reinvestment is a major movement in criminal justice reform in the US and is attracting lots of interest in the UK from both sides of the political spectrum. It is an approach to addressing the penal crisis that looks in detail at the causes of offending that result in offenders ending up in custody. In particular, it examines the factors that result in a disproportionate number of offenders coming from certain communities and neighbourhoods and looks to develop more holistic approaches to reducing offending and re-offending that address the totality of an offender career.

The sun has wiped out nearly all technology in the largest coronal mass ejection in history. In its wake comes the zombie apocalypse. The dead have risen, and they are hungry. Yet there are greater threats than the walking dead. The deathless have returned, slumbering in the same Arks that carried the werewolves into the present. If they are not stopped they will build a massive necropolis in the remains of San Francisco, and the entire continent will pay the price. Only the few werewolves created before the apocalypse stand between humanity and annihilation. Yet they are outnumbered and...
