This major international history project succeeded because of the goodwill, commitment, and collaborative endeavor of a team of researchers drawn not only from different countries but also from different disciplines. Its immediate product is a recently published book, HISCO: Historical International Standard Classification of Occupations (van Leeuwen, Maas, and Miles 2002). The authors describe...

Conformal profiles in theHilhorst – van Leeuwen model

We study the critical energy and magnetization profiles for the Ising quantum chain with a marginal extended surface perturbation of the form A/y, y being the distance from the surface (Hilhorst-van Leeuwen model). For weak local couplings, A < Ac, the model displays a continuous surface transition with A-dependent exponents, whereas, for A > Ac, there is surface order at the bulk critical poin...

Review : The SAGE Handbook of Quantitative Methodology

for the Handbook of Pragmatics, Horn & Ward (eds

1. Context, Semantics, and Pragmatics The linguistic subfields of semantics and pragmatics are both concerned with the study of meaning. We might say that semantics studies what Grice (1967) called the TIMELESS MEANING of a linguistic expression φ —the basic meanings of the words in φ composed as a function of the syntactic structure of φ. Formal semantics, especially since the seminal work of ...

Ibo van de Poel and David E. Goldberg (eds): Philosophy and Engineering. An Emerging Agenda

Since Philosophy and Engineering. An Emerging Agenda arrived over the mail, I have picked it up numerous times with the intention to finally read a substantial part of it and form myself an opinion about it. But what makes this somewhat difficult, is that Philosophy and Engineering is not so much an edited volume, but a conference proceedings in book-shape. It is the tangible outcome of the ‘Wo...
