Publisher Description

Invented terms for categories in our field of interest When a new category or class or concept comes into being, those who want to write or talk about it have a choice: they can invent a new word for it, suitably created and defined to match the novelty being referred to, or they can use an existing word, trying as best they can to make clear the novel element or revised meaning.
