This book provides the first comprehensive comparison of the Aircraft Maintenance Program (AMP) requirements of the two most widely known aviation regulators: the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It offers an in-depth examination of the elements of an AMP, explaining the aircraft accident investigations and events that have originated and modelled the current rules. By introducing the Triangle of Airworthiness model (Reliability, Quality and Safety), the book enables easier understanding of the processes by which an aircraft and its components are deemed to be in a safe condition for operation from a cost-effective and optimization perspective. The book compares the best practices used by top airlines and compiles a series of tools and techniques to improve the standards of the AMP. Aircraft maintenance engineers, students in the field of aerospace engineering, and airlines staff, as well as researchers more widely interested in safety, quality, and reliability will benefit from reading this book
Magicians, necromancers and astrologers are assiduous characters in the European golden age theatre. This book deals with dramatic characters who act as physiognomists or palm readers in the fictional world and analyses the fictionalisation of physiognomic lore as a practice of divination in early modern Romance theatre from Pietro Aretino and Giordano Bruno to Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca and Thomas Corneille.
By reading the works of Miguel de Cervantes through the history of emotion, this book defies a series of long-standing commonplaces about the author's writing and the Mediterranean region at large.
Written for both researchers and advanced students, this Handbook provides a state-of-the-art survey of the field of Spanish linguistics. Balancing different theoretical perspectives among expert scholars, it provides an in-depth examination of all sub-fields of research in Hispanic linguistics, with a focus on recent advances.

Se cumplen ahora cuatrocientos años de la mayor revolución en el teatro popular desde los antiguos griegos. Félix Lope de Vega Carpio (1562-1635), a quien Cervantes calificara de «monstruo de naturaleza » y hoy, con castiza familiaridad, todos llamamos Lope, se encargó de que las comedias se convirtieran en el mayor divertimento popular y en la más excelsa manifestación artística. En aquella sociedad estamental del siglo XVII, el hijo de un bordador estaba abocado -condenado, podríamos decir- a desempeñar el oficio que su padre u otro de la misma consideración social. Sin embargo, Lope de Vega encontró un camino inédito para ganar dinero y fama: sus versos. Por primera vez en l...
The study of letter writing is at the heart of the historical-sociolinguistic enterprise. Private letters, in particular, offer an unprecedented view on language history. This book presents an in-depth study of the language of letters focussing on a unique collection of Dutch private letters from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, which comprises letters from the lower, middle and upper ranks, written by men as well as women. The book discusses the key issues of formulaic language and the degree of orality of private letters, it questions the importance of letter-writing manuals, and reveals remarkable patterns of social, regional and gender variation in a wide range of linguistic features. Arguing for writing experience as an important factor in historical linguistics generally, the book offers numerous new perspectives on the history of Dutch. The monograph is of interest to a wide readership, ranging from scholars of historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, Germanic linguistics, sociology and social history to (advanced) graduate and postgraduate students in courses on language variation and change.

No es necesario destacar las dificultades que entraña el estudio del sistema verbal del español, dadas las múltiples variables que se entrecruzan en él y la extensa bibliografía en torno al mismo. Este trabajo parte de conceptos actuales que han resultado más esclarecedores en este campo, como son los de temporalidad lingüística, perspectiva temporal, planos verbales actual e inactual, etc., y asimismo de ciertos planteamientos pragmáticos como el valor narrativo principal o secundario, el valor descriptivo, y otros aspectos de presuposición, cortesía, etc. Por otra parte, no se han pasado por alto ciertas diferencias entre el uso normativo del español peninsular y del español de América, como sucede en la oposición canté/he cantado.
