This new book is based upon clinical practice, teaching research and scholarly work undertaken over a period of 10 years. The leading author wrote a doctoral dissertation on much of the material described in this book, but until now it has only been published in scholarly articles within refereed journals. Gerald Monk and John Winslade have jointly published three textbooks, including Narrative therapy in practice: The archaeology of hope (Jossey-Bass), Narrative counseling in the schools (Corwin Press), and Narrative mediation (Jossey-Bass) and numerous other publications. Gerald Monk and Stacey Sinclair have jointly published two book chapters and three articles in widely disseminated referred journals.
In this fresh list, Stephen James O'Meara presents 109 new objects for stargazers to observe. The Secret Deep list contains many exceptional objects, including a planetary nebula whose last thermal pulse produced a circumstellar shell similar to the one expected in the final days of our Sun's life; a piece of the only supernova remnant known visible to the unaided eye; the flattest galaxy known; the largest edge-on galaxy in the heavens; the brightest quasar; and the companion star to one of the first black hole candidates ever discovered. Each object is accompanied by beautiful photographs and sketches, original finder charts, visual histories and up-to-date astrophysical information to enrich the observing experience. Featuring galaxies, clusters and nebulae not covered in other Deep-Sky Companions books, this is a wonderful addition to the series and an essential guide for any deep-sky observer.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the Third Latin American Conference on High Performance Computing, CARLA 2016, held in Mexico City, Mexico, in August/September 2016. The 30 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 70 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: HPC Infrastructure and Applications; Parallel Algorithms and Applications; HPC Applications and Simulations.
Adaptive optics is a field which is coming into its own with new discoveries occurring almost daily both in astronomy and in applications of AO in applied fields. In an adaptive optics system, the output from a wavefront sensor is used to calculate corrections that actively remove distortions from an image. The applications of adaptive optics in vision science have received considerable impetus from the knowledge developed by astronomers about how to correct images using AO technology. It is expected that developments in adaptive optics will radically change the face of astronomy in the 21st century. These systems will largely overcome the main limitation of ground-based telescopes, namely t...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Supercomputing, ISUM 2019, held in Monterrey, Mexico, in March 2019.

The papers are organized in topical sections on HPC architecture, networks, system software, algorithmic techniques, modeling and system tools, clouds, distributed computing, big data, data analytics, visualization and storage, applications for science and engineering, and emer- ging technologies.
Inspired by the real mothers and grandmothers who spoke out against Argentina’s military dictatorship, The Disappeared is an award-winning debut about identity, family secrets, and those who endured decades of hardship to expose the truth. In 1976 Buenos Aires, Lorena Ledesma is a housewife with dangerous secrets living under Argentina’s rising military dictatorship. When she and her husband are torn from their home by the paramilitary in the middle of the night, their two-year-old son is left behind with Lorena’s mother, Esme. There’s never any record of the arrest. Desperate to locate Lorena, Esme joins an underground group of mothers who are investigating the disappearances of the...
Las discusiones en torno al dinamismo de tierras sugieren la necesidad de un cambio en enfoque para examinar con mayor detenimiento los efectos, las consecuencias y las influencias que sobre el territorio y sus habitantes tienen las dinámicas de concentración y acaparamiento de tierras. Independientemente de la escala, la forma de posesión y o adquisición, el origen de los capitales y las personas involucradas o los orígenes del fenómeno, lo sobresaliente debe ser el cambio, el trastoque o el control territorial. Este libro aborda dichas dinámicas con la rigurosidad de una investigación académica.
