Scientific Field Models and Literary Strategies in the Twentieth Century
Language: English
Release Date: March 15, 2018
From the central concept of the field—which depicts the world as a mutually interactive whole, with each part connected to every other part by an underlying field— have come models as diverse as quantum mathematics and Saussure’s theory of language. In The Cosmic Web, N. Katherine Hayles seeks...
A Journey Around the Different Scales Involved in the Description of Matter and Complex Systems
A Brief Overview with Special Emphasis on Kinetic Theory Approaches
