We commonly believe that communication is successful when a hearer grasps what a speaker means. But Abe can assert “Sam is tall” without having any definite intention about how tall one must be to count as “tall,” and Bertha can understand his assertion without grasping such an intention. What exactly has been communicated in such a case? John MacFarlane argues that standard models of meaning and communication cannot answer this question. To answer it, he proposes, we need to see vague talk as not purely factual but in part expressive of linguistic plans. In this book, he gives a novel expressivist account of vagueness and explores its implications for semantics, pragmatics, thought, and disagreement.

The importance of continuous research into Seismic Design for Engineering Plant can never be underestimated. Earthquake disaster prevention is a fascinating area requiring ingenious solutions to its unique problems. The benefits of sharing information from developments in this field are also of vital importance. This new book describes and assesses the seismic requirements for different types of structures. In focussing on nuclear chemical plants critical guidance is given on design and cost-effective methods. Bringing together valuable experience from a wide range of disciplines, this important volume covers an informative selection of topics. Contents include: Introduction to Seismic DesignExpected accelerations and ways to minimize interaction between structural and mechanical componentsThe practical aspects of designing and assessing mechanical handling equipment for seismic eventsNuclear safety requirements for travelling cranesOverview of vessel seismic designSeismic qualification of existing pipework in UK nuclear power plantsConstruction of a three-dimensional, large-scale shaking table land development of core technology The contributors to this book are experts in their field whether they are from the nuclear, academic, governmental, or engineering consultant sectors. Their experienced and informed contributions will highlight and explore the most recent developments and challenges facing this highly relevant field of mechanical engineering.

From its creation in 1910, the Royal Canadian Navy was marked by political debate over the countrys need for a naval service. The Seabound Coast, Volume I of a three-volume official history of the RCN, traces the story of the navys first three decades, from its beginnings as Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Lauriers tinpot navy of two obsolescent British cruisers to the force of six modern destroyers and four minesweepers with which it began the Second World War. The previously published Volume II of this history, Part 1, No Higher Purpose, and Part 2, A Blue Water Navy, has already told the story of the RCN during the 19391945 conflict. Based on extensive archival research, The Seabound Coast recounts the acrimonious debates that eventually led to the RCNs establishment in 1910, its tenuous existence following the Laurier governments sudden replacement by that of Robert Borden one year later, and the navys struggles during the First World War when it was forced to defend Canadian waters with only a handful of resources.From the effects of the devastating Halifax explosion in December 1917 to the U-boat campaign off Canadas East Coast in 1918, the volume examines how the RCNs task was made more difficult by the often inconsistent advice Ottawa received from the British Admiralty in London. In its final section, this important and well-illustrated history relates the RCNs experience during the interwar years when anti-war sentiment and an economic depression threatened the services very survival.

La cration de la Marine royale du Canada (MRC) en 1910 et ses premires annes dexistence ont t marques par un dbat politique quant la ncessit dun service naval au Canada. Du littoral la mer, le premier dune srie de trois volumes relatant lhistoire officielle de la MRC, retrace les trois premires dcennies de la Marine, de ses dbuts comme marine de pacotille tablie par le Premier ministre sir Wilfrid Laurier et constitue de deux croiseurs britanniques obsoltes jusqu son entre dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale, en tant que force compose de six destroyers modernes et de quatre dragueurs de mines. Lhistoire de la MRC au cours du conflit de 19391945 a dj t raconte dans la partie 1, Rien de plus noble, et la partie 2, Parmi les puissances navales, du volume II de la srie, publi prcdemment.Fond sur des recherches archivistiques approfondies, louvrage Du littoral la mer relate les pres dbats qui ont finalement men ltablissement de la MRC en 1910, son existence prcaire aprs le remplacement soudain du gouvernement de Laurier par celui de Robert Borden un an plus tard, ainsi que les difficults de la Marine au cours de la Premire Guerre mondiale lorsquelle a d dfendre les eaux canadiennes avec trs peu de ressources. Des consquences dsastreuses de la terrible explosion survenue Halifax en dcembre 1917 jusqu la campagne mene par les sous-marins allemands au large de la cte Est du Canada en 1918, le volume I examine dans quelle mesure les conseils souvent incohrents quOttawa recevait de lAmiraut britannique, Londres, ont compliqu la tche de la MRC. La dernire section de cet important ouvrage historique bien illustr traite de lexprience de la MRC pendant lentre-deux-guerres, alors que le sentiment antiguerre et une dpression conomique menaaient sa survie mme.
Nautical historian John M. MacFarlane shares a carefully curated collection of 2,100 histories of the sternwheelers and sidewheelers that served in waters of the Pacific and Arctic watersheds of western North America. He has assembled detailed accounts in an easy-to-read, easy-to-access book that will please the casual reader as well as the most dedicated nautical historian. These magnificent vessels are most often associated with the waters of the Mississippi River. But they were also an integral part of the development of the west, contributing to their own demise with the construction of railways and roads that made them obsolete. So quickly did they disappear that they have become largely forgotten. The romance associated with these vessels is a throwback to an era which is remembered with nostalgia. This encyclopedic work is both a reference and a glimpse into river and lake travel in the era of steam.
