"Standard Languages and Language Standards: Greek, Past and Present" is a collection of essays with a distinctive focus and an unusual range.

What began as a simple letter--a mid-career architect’s comments to a young writer--turned into a 32-year correspondence, by turns amusing, inflamed, and conciliatory. Frank Lloyd Wright and Lewis Mumford, two pivotal figures in 20th-century American architecture and urbanism, were both passionate writers, keenly aware of world events. Their 150 letters from 1926--1958 covered a wide range of topics, including Wright’s position in the history of American architecture and contemporary practice, their friends and rivals, the invention and spread of the International Style, and pol

These essays, by some of the finest analysts and writers in the Lacanian psychoanalytic world in Paris today, carefully lay out the background and development of Lacan’s thought. In Part I, Jacques-Alain Miller spells out the philosophical and psychiatric origins of Lacan’s work in great detail. In Parts II, III, and IV, Colette Soler, Eric Laur
