Particularly in the humanities and social sciences, festschrifts are a popular forum for discussion. The IJBF provides quick and easy general access to these important resources for scholars and students. The festschrifts are located in state and regional libraries and their bibliographic details are recorded. Since 1983, more than 639,000 articles from more than 29,500 festschrifts, published between 1977 and 2010, have been catalogued.
Hyperborder
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.
Inherit the Dust from the Four Winds of Revilla
Rich in period analysis, here is fascinating historical perspective covering 250 years of existence primarily of a 1750 Spanish settlement originally called Villa del Seor San Ignacio de Loyola de Revilla and now known as "Guerrero Viejo." Although many books cover the genealogical aspects of families that originated in this city, the historical contributions of the early pioneers, their descendents, and the controversy related to land grants, called Porciones -- awarded by the King of Spain -- have, for the most part, remained in the background. This, then, is the principal objective of this book. The book provides summaries on the evolution, history, wars, and problems of Mexico. Using som...
From the Republic of the Rio Grande
The Republic of the Rio Grande had a brief and tenuous existence (1838–1840) before most of it was reabsorbed by Mexico and the remainder annexed by the United States, yet this region that straddles the Rio Grande has retained its distinctive cultural identity to the present day. Born on one side of the Rio Grande and raised on the other, Beatriz de la Garza is a product of this region. Her birthplace and its people are the subjects of this work, which fuses family memoir and borderlands history. From the Republic of the Rio Grande brings new insights and information to the study of transnational cultures by drawing from family papers supplemented by other original sources, local chronicle...
Living with Buildings
'A remarkable book; surprisingly gripping and often very moving ... at once disorientating and illuminating.' - Robert Macfarlane We shape ourselves, and are shaped in return, by the walls that contain us. Buildings affect how we sleep, work, socialise and even breathe. They can isolate and endanger us but they can also heal us. We project our hopes and fears onto buildings, while they absorb our histories. In Living With Buildings, Iain Sinclair embarks on a series of expeditions - through London, Marseille, Mexico and the Outer Hebrides. A father and his daughter, who has a rare syndrome, visit the estate where they once lived. Developers clink champagne glasses as residents are 'decanted' from their homes. A box sculpted from whalebone, thought to contain healing properties, is returned to its origins with unexpected consequences. Part investigation, part travelogue, Living With Buildings brings the spaces we inhabit to life as never before.
Suspensão Laboral - Ausência Temporária da Prestação de Trabalho
A «suspensão laboral» surge enquanto termo neutro que procura abarcar os factos que inviabilizam transitoriamente o trabalhador de realizar a actividade contratada com o empregador e aos quais é afecta qualificação suspensiva. A presente análise assinala a natureza transversal do fenómeno suspensivo - para lá da esfera laboral -, colocando a descoberto a essencialidade que reveste a natureza duradoura e relacional do contrato de trabalho para a cabal compreensão do instituto: entre nós, a suspensão laboral convoca originalmente temáticas várias, enquadradas de modo disperso na sistemática do Código Civil - impossibilidade, (in)cumprimento, mora do devedor, mora do credor e exceptio non adimpleti contractus. A obra inclui uma delimitação precisa dos principais conceitos operativos do fenómeno: impossibilidade, imputação e natureza temporária, dando resposta às inúmeras interrogações que a operacionalidade do instituto tem suscitado.
Intuitionistic and Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Enhancements in Neural and Optimization Algorithms: Theory and Applications
This book describes the latest advances in fuzzy logic, neural networks, and optimization algorithms, as well as their hybrid intelligent combinations, and their applications in the areas such as intelligent control, robotics, pattern recognition, medical diagnosis, time series prediction, and optimization. The topic is highly relevant as most current intelligent systems and devices use some form of intelligent feature to enhance their performance. The book also presents new and advanced models and algorithms of type-2 fuzzy logic and intuitionistic fuzzy systems, which are of great interest to researchers in these areas. Further, it proposes novel, nature-inspired optimization algorithms and innovative neural models. Featuring contributions on theoretical aspects as well as applications, the book appeals to a wide audience.
