This Handbook offers a comprehensive examination of Gabriel García Márquez's life, oeuvre, and legacy, the first such work since his death in 2014. It incorporates ongoing critical approaches such as feminism, ecocriticism, Marxism, and ethnic studies, while elucidating key aspects of his work, such as his Caribbean-Colombian background; his use of magical realism, myth, and folklore; and his left-wing political views. Thirty-two wide-ranging chapters cover the bulk of the author's writings, giving special attention to the global influence of García Márquez.
El conquistador vasco Lope de Aguirre se rebeló en 1561 contra la Corona de España; fue el primero en desnaturalizarse de ella para fundar una monarquía independiente en la América hispánica. El libro reconstruye la recepción de esta historia en todos los géneros (crónicas, historiografía, literatura, teatro, cine, cómic, etc,) de los testigos oculares hasta el V Centenario, sobre todo en los países involucrados. Para cada lectura se establecieron los factores que condicionan la construcción y la instrumentalización del pasado, de manera que el libro se puede leer también como historia cultural de la América hispánica y de España.
This book presents cutting-edge research on innovative human systems integration and human–machine interaction, with an emphasis on artificial intelligence and automation, as well as computational modeling and simulation. It covers a wide range of applications in the areas of design, construction and operation of products, systems and services, and discusses the human factors in a wide range of settings. Gathering the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Intelligent Human Systems Integration (IHSI 2020), held on February 19–21, 2020, in Modena, Italy, the book’s goal is to advance the theory and applications of artificial cognitive systems and improve human-artificial systems collaboration. Special emphasis is placed on automotive design, autonomous vehicles and the applications of artificial intelligence. The book offers a timely survey and source of inspiration for human factors engineers, automotive engineers, IT developers and UX designers who are working to shape the future of automated intelligent systems.

La huella del exilio en la narrativa de Xavier Benguerel aporta un estudio completo de la influencia que la condición de exiliado en el país andino dejó en la narrativa del escritor de Barcelona. Un episodio personal, tras la derrota republicana en la Guerra Civil española, que marcó decididamente a una generación de escritores que tuvieron que dejar su residencia e instalarse en diversos países de acogida. En el caso de Benguerel, los nuevos espacios conocidos apenas estarán presentes en su obra narrativa, pero en los retratos psicológicos de sus personajes, tanto en los de textos escritos durante el exilio, como en las décadas posteriores, encontraremos una expresión de los sentimientos de desarraigo y de resignación frente a la nueva situación planteada. Por todo ello, este trabajo es una aportación sin duda fundamental para la valoración de la narrativa de nuestro país en el siglo XX, en su interacción con los hechos históricos que acontecieron.
The Alboran Sea represents a regional Mediterranean space where North and South worlds merges, creating a geopolitical region where marine resources and maritime activities should be managed from a national and international perspectives. It is widely known, that currently the planet is suffering a global change, and it is also affecting the Alboran Sea, its ecosystems and populations. An important first step to update a paramount vision on this region is to understand the climatic, geologic and oceanographic, including biochemical cycles, process which shapes the rich geodiversity, biodiversity, the productivity, and the sustainable use of the marine resources from Alboran Sea. The fisherie...
This edited book provides professionals in the field of English Language Teaching (ELT) with a situated and culturally-responsive account of diversity and inclusion in English language education, from primary to higher education and in a wide range of settings. The volume focuses on three overlapping areas: interculturality, special education needs, and gender. The chapters in each section seek to help readers reflect on the opportunities and challenges of diversity as a step towards inclusive practices, and raise awareness of critical topics across the curriculum and beyond by engaging in wider social issues. This book will be of interest to language teachers and teacher trainers, as well as scholars working in applied linguistics, higher education, intercultural studies, and related fields.
An introduction to a broad range of topics in deep learning, covering mathematical and conceptual background, deep learning techniques used in industry, and research perspectives. “Written by three experts in the field, Deep Learning is the only comprehensive book on the subject.” —Elon Musk, cochair of OpenAI; cofounder and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX Deep learning is a form of machine learning that enables computers to learn from experience and understand the world in terms of a hierarchy of concepts. Because the computer gathers knowledge from experience, there is no need for a human computer operator to formally specify all the knowledge that the computer needs. The hierarchy of concep...
