Professional and scientific information pesented in aasy understandable way and at the same time connected and linked to similar topics and terms. This ist the philosophy we are trying to put into practice with this comprehensive dictionary and encyclopedia.
So let's see some sample pages of our dictionary:
Urban Anthropology -
Urban (from Latin urbs, city) anthropology emerged as a sub-discipline during the 1960s in order to concentrate on issues to do with people living in or moving to urban environments. There were two factors that led to the formation of urban anthropology. One concerned the need to shake off the myth, both in popular and anthropological imagination, that anthropology is solely about the study of small, isolated and ‘primitive’ communities. The other focused on the need to consider people everywhere, particularly when the transition from rural to urban forms of society (urbanization) was becoming... Urban Anthropology
Figurative Art -
Figurative art, also known as representational art, is the mirror image of abstract art. That is, it portrays figures or objects as they might appear in nature: the objective correlative is something real rather than (as in abstract art) a pattern, geometrical shape or other intellectual construct. Whatever distortions or fantasies the artist builds into the representation, this real correlative keeps it representational. Thus, even the most angular Cubist statues (such as those of Lipchitz), even the most diagrammatic of folk-art religious paintings, so long as they depict real things or are based on what we can see in real life, are figurative. Folk art often shows, in simple forms, both extremes of the figurative approach. On the one hand are faithful portrayals of people, animals, plants... Figurative Art
Virtues And Vices -
To the philosopher, a virtue is an ethically desirable character trait, such as honesty, courage, generosity or kindness. A vice is an ethically undesirable character trait, such as cruelty, cowardice or selfishness. To have a virtue is not to follow or apply any kind of rule. A generous person will constantly ponder what generosity requires, but will simply behave in a generous manner. Indeed, if someone gives money away because he or she thinks that this is what generous people do, the action is not done out of generosity. A truly generous person simply sees someone who needs something and feels inclined to satisfy this need, if possible. In general, the virtuous person is someone who has certain emotional reactions to various situations, reactions which lead him or her to behave in a virtuous fashion. An ethical system based on the cultivation of virtue can be contrasted with a system of deontological ethics. In deontology it is a set of... Virtues And Vices
On this occasion we would like to refer to internet ressources that are not related to us, but provide profound information. Population density explained in a different way. Random walk as abasic scientific concept which appears in different sciences. And finally a media ressource to cover the present media science hype.
