This book review discusses "Translation and Intercultural Awareness, English vs. Greek" by Maria Sidiropoulou. The book focuses on intercultural awareness in translation practice between English and Greek, using pragmatics to categorize phenomena and shifts in translation. It explores topics such as translation shifts in different genres, deixis and discourse connectivity, speech acts, and the transfer of implicatures. The book also addresses methodological issues in translation research and emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of translation. It provides discussion questions, keys, and a list of references for further study. Overall, the review praises the book for its comprehensive approach to raising intercultural awareness and advancing competence in translation. [Extracted from the article]

At the centre of this practice, and of Ferguson's compelling argument, is the preservation of what he calls I living soil i - the ground as a site of "active physical, chemical, and biological processes" (p. 57). Architecture critic Alexandra Lange writes of I A Pattern Language i by Christopher Alexander, Sara Ishikawa and Murray Silverstein (with Max Jacobson, Ingrid Fiksdahl-King and Shlomo Angel), that it is not a book "about architecture, but about how specific design choices can help us build better relationships" (Lange, [10]). Ferguson convincingly argues that construction design does not merely translate or implement the concepts, commitments, or intents identified during previous design phases, but rather extends and refocuses the design process itself, unlocking new horizons of action and possibility.

I enjoyed reading both parts, as a vision scientist with a bit of experience in playing music, but especially part 2 on scientific studies on music that are quite tempting to try myself one day. I am less sure for the music scientists, but it would be good for them to see what sort of things vision scientists are up to, which hopefully could lead to more collaborations across these fields in the near future.

Der Klappentext verspricht zu Recht, dass das Buch vor allem Ansatzpunkte für die weitere endogene Entwicklung von Städten im globalen Süden aufzeigt, in Städten, die vor allem wachsende Ungleichheiten und ökologische Krisen zu bewältigen haben, aber eigene Wege gehen und sich von den Paradigmen des Städtebaus im Westen weniger beeinflussen lassen. Die I bricolage city i ist eine Stadt, die ihre Form der unermüdlichen Kreativität ihrer Bewohner verdankt und die Megacity region ist die Stadtregion, die sich ungebremst weit ins Hinterland einer Stadt ausdehnt. Er geht dabei davon aus, dass sich die räumliche Entwicklung mit wachsender Einkommensentwicklung verändert, vor allem aber, dass mit wachsender wirtschaftlicher Entwicklung die Abhängigkeit des globalen Südens vom Westen abnimmt.

Throwing new light on Kepler's contribution to optics: A. Mark Smith: From sight to light. The master narrative suggests that optics became disassociated from sight and presents Kepler as a game changer. If we admit that Kepler revolutionized optics, we run up against an interesting historical conundrum. [Extracted from the article]

Although some perception metaphors are quite widespread across languages, it is crucial to remember that perception metaphors vary in terms of their distribution, their motivation (sensorimotor experience is shared but culture differs), and the verbal and multimodal resources encoding perception metaphors. In "Synaesthetic metaphors are neither synaesthetic nor metaphorical", Winter argues that "synaesthetic metaphors" are neither synesthetic nor metaphorical, in that "synaesthesia" mentioned in the neuropsychological literature has little connection with these metaphors, and moreover, many "synaesthetic metaphors" involve mappings between highly similar and integrated perceptual modalities.

The article offers poetry criticism of the poem "vibrieren in dem wir" by Ann-Kathrin Ast. It delves into the sensory aspects, themes, and unique perspective presented in the poem, highlighting the poet's emphasis on senses other than sight and its portrayal of the connection between the mother and the child. It also explores how the poem challenges the dominance of visual perception in contemporary society and suggests alternative ways of experiencing and understanding the world.

Interlacing children's and adults' experiences of their daily living environments in India and the UK with research and contemporary discourse on the environment, climate change and childhood, this book makes a valuable addition to geographies of children, young people and families. Researchers working with children, young people and families, those interested in unpicking climate change discourses, in environmental education and in conducting international research will value a relatively detailed insight into study methodology - more than can be afforded in a research paper. The authors make clear their censures of over-simplified portrayals of children as "our future" or as "the next generation" found within climate change policy, and we are reminded that, whilst these framings seem to take children seriously, powerful and complex generational practices set by parents and other adults are at play.

Castelhano, Monica S., & Williams, Carrick C. (2021). In this context, Castelhano and Williams', I Elements of Scene Perception i , published as part of the Cambridge Elements series, provides a highly accessible and comprehensive overview of decades of research into scene perception. Castelhano and Williams discuss how the rules that filmmakers and editors have developed, such as cutting across action, are often intended to mask changes across scenes or increase change blindness.

We investigated whether children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) have a deficit in recognising familiar faces. Children with ASD were given a forced choice familiar face recognition task with three conditions: full faces, inner face parts and outer face parts. Control groups were children with developmental delay (DD) and typically developing (TD) children. Children with ASD and children with DD recognised slightly fewer faces than did TD children, but there was no ASD-specific deficit. All groups displayed the same pattern of face part superiority: full-face superiority over inner face, and inner face superiority over outer face. Therefore, the pattern of familiar face recognition by children with ASD was similar to the pattern found in other children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Kuhn, Gustav Experiencing the Impossible: The Science of Magic. Kuhn's book makes it very clear and tangible that the systematic study of magic is more than just a clever public-relations trick and can actually advance the cognitive science in significant ways. After reading the broad and interesting overview of cognitive science provided by Kuhn's book on the science of magic, I am left with a sense of a very interesting Gestalt switch of figure and ground.
