Beschreibung

Metaphor Function explores the profound impact of metaphor, arguing it's not just a linguistic tool but a fundamental cognitive mechanism shaping our understanding of the world. The book reveals how metaphors influence thought processes, allowing us to grasp abstract concepts by relating them to concrete experiences. Interestingly, different cultures employ unique metaphorical systems, encoding their values and beliefs within language.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the cognitive theory of metaphor and its influence on reasoning. It then examines the cultural variability of metaphor, drawing on linguistic and ethnographic studies. Finally, it focuses on the application of metaphor in literary creation, demonstrating how authors use metaphorical language to evoke emotions and convey complex themes.

 
This interdisciplinary approach, connecting cognitive science, cultural studies, and communication studies, provides a holistic understanding of metaphor's multifaceted functions in meaning and communication. The book avoids overly technical jargon, making it accessible to a broad audience interested in Language Arts and Philosophy. By understanding conceptual metaphor, readers can enhance critical thinking skills and foster cultural understanding.

    How did Vladimir Putin galvanize the Russian people to back his genocidal war in Ukraine, and why are so many of them willing to embrace fascism? This vivid, on-the-ground narrative reveals how Russia's fascist generation came into being—and the dark future that awaits the country if that hold cannot be broken. 
     
     
     
    Wartime Russia is drowning in fascist symbols. Zealous patriots attack journalists, opposition activists, and anyone suspected of betraying the motherland. Russians are urged to join the cause by hordes of online trolls and sleek videos of angry young men bellowing patriotic slogans. State television terrifies viewers with trumped up tales of anti-Russian conspiracies and genocidal yearnings. Child soldiers proudly parade across Red Square. This is Russia in the 2020s: a land of performative rage and nationalist untruth, where play-acting, pretense, and broken promises are a way of life. But in a world where pretense has become the norm, a terrifying, apocalyptic mindset is seizing the Russians of tomorrow. 
     
     
     
    As enrapturing as it is terrifying, Z Generation reveals how Russia ended up where it is today, and where its young people are headed: a fascist generation more zealous, violent, and ideological than anything the country has seen before.

    Cities are fundamentally exercises in spatial organization—complex arrangements of human activity, physical infrastructure, and natural systems that collectively define how metropolitan regions function, evolve, and adapt. The geographic logic of urban environments—how different uses are distributed, how resources are allocated, and how communities develop within specific physical contexts—represents one of the most profound expressions of human social organization and values. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate domains of Urban Geography, Urban Land Use, and Community Development—examining how spatial patterns emerge, how they reflect deeper social and economic forces, and how they ultimately shape the lived experiences of urban inhabitants. 
    The narrative of urban spatial organization is far more than a technical study of land allocation; it encompasses the dynamic interactions between physical geography, economic systems, social forces, and political decisions that collectively determine the form and function of our cities. By examining the complex mechanisms that drive urban spatial development—from market dynamics and zoning regulations to community activism and cultural preferences—this book illuminates how cities represent physical manifestations of our collective choices, priorities, and power structures. Readers will journey through diverse urban landscapes—from the historic patterns of concentric development to the fragmented geographies of postindustrial cities and the emerging forms of sustainable urbanism—while exploring how community development initiatives seek to reshape urban spaces to better serve human needs.

    As the global population continues to urbanize at an unprecedented rate, the health challenges faced by city dwellers are becoming increasingly important. Over half of the world’s population now resides in urban areas, and this figure is expected to rise sharply in the coming decades. While cities offer a multitude of opportunities for economic, social, and cultural growth, they also pose unique risks to the health and well-being of their inhabitants. The concentration of people, industries, and infrastructure in urban spaces brings forth a complex array of health issues, from air and water pollution to mental health challenges and inadequate healthcare access. Understanding and addressing these issues is crucial for creating cities that foster not only economic prosperity but also the physical and mental well-being of their populations. 
    Urban health problems are often exacerbated by rapid and unplanned growth. In many cities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, the urbanization process is marked by overcrowded living conditions, poor sanitation, and a lack of adequate healthcare facilities. Urban air pollution, largely driven by traffic and industrial emissions, is a significant contributor to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, and premature deaths. Meanwhile, the noise and stress associated with city living have been linked to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. These environmental factors, combined with limited access to green spaces and recreational areas, create a challenging backdrop for promoting public health in cities. 
    In addition to environmental hazards, urban health is also shaped by social determinants. Disparities in healthcare access, education, income, and living conditions often result in health inequities, particularly among marginalized populations. The urban poor, for instance, are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases and lack proper healthcare resources.
