John R. Taylor Ordine dei libri (cronologico)
John Taylor è un professore di fisica il cui lavoro si addentra negli intricati regni della teoria dello scattering quantistico e dei principi fondamentali della meccanica quantica. Possiede un notevole talento nel distillare idee scientifiche complesse in una prosa accessibile e coinvolgente, rendendo i suoi contributi significativi sia per il pubblico accademico che per quello generale. La sua dedizione si estende anche alla promozione della curiosità scientifica, in particolare attraverso i suoi sforzi di divulgazione che mirano ad accendere una passione per la fisica nelle generazioni più giovani.
Linguistic Categorization

This book provides a readable and clearly articulated introduction to an important area in the broader field of Cognitive Linguistics. Taking as its starting point the categorization of colour it explores the far reaching implications of Eleanor Rosch's seminal work on prototype categorization extending it's application of prototype theory from lexical semantics to the study of morphology, syntax, and phonology. First published in 1989 the third edition of this populat text has been fully revised and updated to include recent developments in Cognitive Linguistics. It introduces basic issues in the study of word meaning, and demonstrates the viability of the prototype approach to the study of phonology, syntax and acquistion. The new edition expands the treatment of polysemy, meaning relatedness, idioms and grammatical constructions The book presupposes no prior knowledge of linguistics and will therefore be particulary suited to undergraduate courses.

This best-selling text by John Taylor, now released in its second edition, introduces the study of uncertainties to lower division science students. Assuming no prior knowledge, the author introduces error analysis through the use of familiar examples ranging from carpentry to well-known historic experiments. Pertinent worked examples, simple exercises throughout the text, and numerous chapter-ending problems combine to make the book ideal for use in physics, chemistry, and engineering lab courses. The first edition of this book has been translated into six languages.
