Dinosaurs of Eastern Iberia
Written for the general reader, this book is both a colorful introduction to the history and study of dinosaurs and an eye-opening survey of dinosaur discoveries in Spain. At the time of the dinosaurs, Iberia was in the process of becoming a peninsula of Continental Europe and looked very different than it does today. Now an area only slightly larger than Vermont and New Hampshire, Eastern Iberia contains one of the richest fossil records of Mesozoic vertebrates in Europe. This record spans an 80-million-year period that includes key moments in Earth's history, such as the extinction events at the Jurassic-Cretaceous and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundaries. Dinosaurs of Eastern Iberia tells the story of Iberia's tumultuous geological history and presents a detailed synthesis of the region's dinosaur discoveries, with fact sheets and reconstructions of each species found there. This volume also describes the flora and fauna that made up the ancient ecosystems and explores the paleobiogeography of this dynamic region.

Decoding Reality
For a physicist, all the world is information. The Universe and its workings are the ebb and flow of information. We are all transient patterns of information, passing on the recipe for our basic forms to future generations using a four-letter digital code called DNA. In this engaging and mind-stretching account, Vlatko Vedral considers some of the deepest questions about the Universe and considers the implications of interpreting it in terms of information. He explains the nature of information, the idea of entropy, and the roots of this thinking in thermodynamics. He describes the bizarre effects of quantum behaviour -- effects such as 'entanglement', which Einstein called 'spooky action a...
Understanding the Discourse of Aging
There are a number of books and articles covering particular facets of the topic of aging, such as the image of the elderly in the media, cinema, TV series and commercials, and in literature, which of course provide useful background material and references. However, these studies on aging discourse predominantly focus on a single discipline. This book adds a fresh perspective, by addressing the communicative practices surrounding age, aging and the elderly from a multidisciplinary perspective. The volume addresses several issues related to the discourse on aging, from the problems related to definitions of age to the image of the elderly in literature, cinema, and mass media, and gendered issues surrounding the aging process.
Advances in Self-Organizing Maps, Learning Vector Quantization, Clustering and Data Visualization
This book gathers papers presented at the 13th International Workshop on Self-Organizing Maps, Learning Vector Quantization, Clustering and Data Visualization (WSOM+), which was held in Barcelona, Spain, from the 26th to the 28th of June 2019. Since being founded in 1997, the conference has showcased the state of the art in unsupervised machine learning methods related to the successful and widely used self-organizing map (SOM) method, and extending its scope to clustering and data visualization. In this installment of the AISC series, the reader will find theoretical research on SOM, LVQ and related methods, as well as numerous applications to problems in fields ranging from business and engineering to the life sciences. Given the scope of its coverage, the book will be of interest to machine learning researchers and practitioners in general and, more specifically, to those looking for the latest developments in unsupervised learning and data visualization.
Universal Health Coverage for Inclusive and Sustainable Development
The book synthesizes the experiences from Bangladesh, Brazil, France, Ethiopia, Ghana, Indonesia, Japan, Peru, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam in implementing policies to achieve and sustain Universal Health Coverage. The study focuses on three aspects of UHC reforms: political economy, health financing, and human resources for health.
