After a year's successful operation, the European DENIS project is now a scientific reality and its close cousin 2MASS (USA) is about to come into operation. The observational and data reduction processes of both DENIS and 2MASS are fully described in this volume. Already the impact of DENIS is making itself felt in the astronomical community in areas of research as diverse as cosmology, the evolution of galaxies, the interstellar medium, the search for brown dwarfs, and stellar structure and evolution. The first routine results from DENIS and the preliminary results from the 2MASS prototype camera are discussed and compared with other surveys across the wavelength spectrum, both space- and ground-based, including the Digitized Sky Survey, ISO and ROSAT.

The aim of this Special Issue lies in expanding contemporary discussions on Japanese Cinema and its transnational aspects by applying new critical methodologies and stances and in revealing the contradictions inherent in the way the old paradigm of 'National Cinema' has traditionally been articulated. In order to do so, this publication highlights the limitations of assessing Japanese film as a cinematic phenomenon confined to its national borders. Throughout this issue, the concept of transnationality is not confined to a single definition and is instead used as an analytical framework which allow authors to surpass narrow perspectives that neglect the complex nature of Japanese film in ter...
La comunicación es hoy en día un elemento clave para cualquier empresa y de ella depende, en gran medida, el éxito o fracaso de la misma. En este terreno, la publicidad juega un papel fundamental, ya que es ella la que difunde los valores de marca, las bondades de los productos y servicios que anuncia y, en definitiva, aquellos conceptos con los que se quiere que el consumidor asocie la marca. ¿Qué papel juega la sostenibilidad en todo esto? La sostenibilidad es uno de esos valores fundamentales e imprescindibles hoy en día para cualquier empresa y eso se debe trasladar a todas las acciones de comunicación y publicidad que ésta lleve a cabo, es decir, que debe formar parte de su estrategia de Responsabilidad Social Corporativa. De ahí el nacimiento de este libro en torno a este concepto, el de la sostenibilidad, como elemento clave en el mapa de valores empresariales y también en el crecimiento y éxito de cualquier empresa.
Victoria, un réquiem para María narra dos historias separadas en el tiempo y enlazadas por la fuerza de la música. Por un lado, seguimos las peripecias de la vida de Gabriel, un joven cantante que ingresa en uno de los coros más importantes de Europa y que se encuentra en medio de un difícil triángulo amoroso; por otro, asistimos al transcurso de los últimos años de vida del genial compositor Tomás Luis de Victoria, así como a la génesis de su obra magna: el Officium Defunctorum para la emperatriz María.
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
For many, a map is nothing more than a tool used to determine the location or distribution of something—a country, a city, or a natural resource. But maps reveal much more: to really read a map means to examine what it shows and what it doesn’t, and to ask who made it, why, and for whom. The contributors to this new volume ask these sorts of questions about maps of Latin America, and in doing so illuminate the ways cartography has helped to shape this region from the Rio Grande to Patagonia. In Mapping Latin America,Jordana Dym and Karl Offen bring together scholars from a wide range of disciplines to examine and interpret more than five centuries of Latin American maps.Individual chapte...
