Since the publication of the first edition in 2004, advances in mobile devices, positioning sensors, WiFi fingerprinting, and wireless communications, among others, have paved the way for developing new and advanced location-based services (LBSs). This second edition provides up-to-date information on LBSs, including WiFi fingerprinting, mobile computing, geospatial clouds, geospatial data mining, location privacy, and location-based social networking.

Bach The position of Johann Sebastian Bach as one of a numerous family of musicians is unique. Of no other composer can it be said that his forefathers, contemporary relations, and descendants were all musicians, and not only musicians, but holders of very important offices as such. All his biographers have therefore given some account of his family antecedents before proceeding to the history of his life; and I have found myself obliged to follow the same course. In other respects I have adopted the plan made use of by the older biographers, of keeping the account of his life distinct from that of his compositions.

Drawing extensively on primary sources, this study in three parts provides a detailed biography, examines the most prominent aspects of Falla's character as they pertained to his relationships with other composers and his own music, and sheds light on his creative process as a composer through examination of many of his works with reference to original scores and correspondence, many of which are published here for the first time. A chronological photo section rounds out this offering of great significance for music teachers and students as well as those with an interest in Spanish culture.
L’auteur cherche à comprendre l’importance énigmatique prise dans sa vie par le prénom Matthieu. Celui-ci a été présent tout au long de son histoire, sans jamais s’accrocher à une relation ou des événements de premier plan : insistant mais insaisissable, ne cessant de resurgir après des éclipses, comme un cours d’eau souterrain ou un indice dans une intrigue dont on ignore la clé. L’enquête conduit le livre à s’attarder devant les grandes toiles consacrées à saint Matthieu par Caravage, à traverser l’immense Passion selon saint Matthieu de Bach, à méditer sur L’Évangile selon saint Matthieu de Pasolini, puis à laisser vibrer les résonances du récit biblique, avant de revenir, comme sur le dessin d’un fer à cheval, vers Pasolini, puis Bach, puis à nouveau Caravage. Le tracé de cette piste donne forme à un essai insolite, où la quête autobiographique se nourrit de pensées esthétiques et théologiques, qu’en retour elle éclaire d’un jour inattendu.
