El hilo que teje la vida
El hilo que teje la vida es un libro en el que Juan Luis Mejía Arango reúne y complementa sus trabajos e investigaciones en torno a la cultura en Antioquia; ese gran tema que ha ocupado -y en el que ha ocupado- su curiosidad e intereses durante décadas. En ocho grandes capítulos, el autor abarca desde la Antioquia minera de los siglos XVII y XVIII, hasta la industrializada de la primera mitad del XX, pasando desde luego por la convulsionada y cambiante del XIX. En ese recorrido extenso, que es tanto en tiempo como en espacio, Juan Luis Mejía nos muestra de qué manera la economía, la política, las disputas y los cambios en el paisaje han labrado nuestra identidad. Distintas formas de arte y manifestaciones culturales antioqueñas aparecen en este libro, acompañadas por los protagonistas y, además, salpicadas de anécdotas. El hilo que teje la vida es sin duda una obra rica en fuentes e investigación, pero es también un nuevo episodio en la conversación interminable que este autor ha sostenido con sus lectores.

How to Love a Country
A timely and moving collection from the renowned inaugural poet on issues facing our country and people—immigration, gun violence, racism, LGBTQ issues, and more. Through an oracular yet intimate and accessible voice, Richard Blanco addresses the complexities and contradictions of our nationhood and the unresolved sociopolitical matters that affect us all. Blanco digs deep into the very marrow of our nation through poems that interrogate our past and present, grieve our injustices, and note our flaws, but also remember to celebrate our ideals and cling to our hopes. Charged with the utopian idea that no single narrative is more important than another, this book asserts that America could a...

Alluvial Fans
Alluvial fans are important sedimentary environments. They trap sediment delivered from mountain source areas, and exert an important control on the delivery of sediment to downstream environments, to axial drainages and to sedimentary basins. They preserve a sensitive record of environmental change within the mountain source areas. Alluvial fan geomorphology and sedimentology reflect not only drainage basin size and geology, but change in response to tectonic, climatic and base-level controls. One of the challenges facing alluvial fan research is to resolve how these gross controls are reflected in alluvial fan dynamics and to apply the results of studies of modern fan processes and Quatern...
Progress in Pattern Recognition, Image Analysis, Computer Vision, and Applications
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 21st Iberoamerican Congress on Pattern Recognition, CIARP 2016, held in Lima, Peru, in November 2016. The 69 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 131 submissions. The papers feature research results in the areas of pattern recognition, biometrics, image processing, computer vision, speech recognition, and remote sensing. They constitute theoretical as well as applied contributions in many fields related to the main topics of the conference.
The Evolution and Fossil Record of Parasitism
This two-volume edited book highlights and reviews the potential of the fossil record to calibrate the origin and evolution of parasitism, and the techniques to understand the development of parasite-host associations and their relationships with environmental and ecological changes. The book deploys a broad and comprehensive approach, aimed at understanding the origins and developments of various parasite groups, in order to provide a wider evolutionary picture of parasitism as part of biodiversity. This is in contrast to most contributions by parasitologists in the literature that focus on circular lines of evidence, such as extrapolating from current host associations or distributions, to...
