"Masters Of Spanish Comic Book Art is a celebration of the great artists who revolutionized American horror comics in the 1970s with their work on Warren's Vampirella, Creepy, and Eerie horror comics. This first-ever comprehensive history of Spanish comic books and Spanish comic artists reveals their extraordinary success -- not just in Spain and America, but around the world. Their global influence has been little known until this celebration of their contributions. Containing artwork from over 80 artists, this in-depth retrospective includes profiles of such legends as Esteban Maroto, Sanjulian, Jose Gonzalez, Jordi Bernet, Enrich, Victor De La Fuente, Jose Ortiz and Luis Garcia Mozos. With 500 illustrations, over half scanned directly from the original artwork, Masters Of Spanish Comic Book Art honors the "Golden Generation" whose artwork inspired the imagination of comic book lovers everywhere."--
Global Perspectives for the Conservation and Management of Open-Air Rock Art Sites responds to the growth in known rock art sites across the globe and addresses the need to investigate natural and human-originated threats to them as well as propose solutions to mitigate resulting deterioration. Bringing together perspectives of international research teams from across five continents, the chapters in this book are divided into four discrete parts that best reflect the worldwide scenarios where conservation and management of open-air rock art sites unfolds: 1) ethics, community and collaborative approaches; 2) methodological tools to support assessment and monitoring; 3) scientific examinatio...
La Societat d’Estudis Econòmics és un exemple més de l’activitat dels intel·lectuals catalans durant el període noucentista. El seu objectiu principal era divulgar la ciència econòmica entre els sectors empresarials i polítics espanyols. L’aplicació científica dels mètodes econòmics havia de garantir la prosperitat econòmica d’Espanya i afavorir el seu status com a potència econòmica europea.
This open access book provides an overview of the recent advances in representation learning theory, algorithms and applications for natural language processing (NLP). It is divided into three parts. Part I presents the representation learning techniques for multiple language entries, including words, phrases, sentences and documents. Part II then introduces the representation techniques for those objects that are closely related to NLP, including entity-based world knowledge, sememe-based linguistic knowledge, networks, and cross-modal entries. Lastly, Part III provides open resource tools for representation learning techniques, and discusses the remaining challenges and future research directions. The theories and algorithms of representation learning presented can also benefit other related domains such as machine learning, social network analysis, semantic Web, information retrieval, data mining and computational biology. This book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, researchers, lecturers, and industrial engineers, as well as anyone interested in representation learning and natural language processing.

How safe are our children in the care of a stranger? How much do we know about the people we work with? How far would we go to protect ourselves? A town that's haunted by an incident at the nearby Scouts centre. Regular swimming lessons come to a halt when a swimming instructor is accused of inappropriately touching a child during a lesson and the dangers of Facebook creep to the surface. When history appears to repeat itself what can we do but expect the worst. Put on your water-wings, listen to the evidence and decide for yourself... This publication is the English translation for the UK première of the play held at Park Theatre, London.
Aquest manuscrit és un esborrany on es registraven, abans de passar-se a net al llibre de la cort del justícia, els clams, és a dir, les demandes, denúncies, querelles o reclamacions judicials, que es presentaven davant aquest magistrat local. També s'hi anotaven les declaracions de testimonis, certs documents de compra-venda i altres diligències que documenten la vida quotidiana d'una vila de colonització com l'Alcoi del segle XIII. Malgrat el seu aspecte fragmentari i desorganitzat, l'antiguitat i les informacions que proporciona el document el converteixen en una font excepcional per conèixer la societat valenciana a l'endemà mateix de la conquesta de Jaume I. El text està escrit en romanç -català i aragonès- i en llatí, sense que cap criteri determine l'ús d'una o altra llengua, fins i tot amb interferències en un mateix escrivà.
