This book sets the foundations of Newton's alchemy in their historical context in Restoration England. It is shown that alchemical modes of thought were quite strong in many of those who provided the dynamism for the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century and that these modes of thought had important relationships with general movements for reform in the same period.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures, FOSSACS 2003, held in Warsaw, Poland in April 2003.

Among the topics covered are algebraic models; automata and language theory; behavioral equivalences; categorical models; computation processes over discrete and continuous data; computation structures; logics of programs; models of concurrent, reactive, distributed, and mobile systems; process algebras and calculi; semantics of programming languages; software specification and refinement; transition systems; and type systems and type theory.

Ten Years of Translation documents the proceedings of the Fourth Congress of the International Federation of Translators (Fédération Internationale des Traducteurs—FIT) held in Dubrovnik in 1963. This compilation discusses the diversification and development of the translating profession that focuses on the types of translation practiced, great variety of circumstances under which the translation is carried out, and vast number of auxiliary services and aids closely related to the translation proper. This book includes the descriptions of literary, technical, and scientific translations; linguistic aspects of translation; FIT committee reports; progress reports by FIT member societies; and charter of the translator. This publication is beneficial to professional translators, as well as students and researchers conducting work on linguistics.
