Cumbia somos
De la movida sonidera mexicana a la cumbia villera argentina, de la psicodélica chicha peruana al sonido ancestral colombiano, la cumbia es un bien cultural que une e identifica a Latinoamérica. Este libro, producto del trabajo colaborativo con la Red de Periodistas Musicales de Iberoamérica, propone un repaso por las historias de músicos y bandas icónicas, desde los inicios de este género musical hasta las vanguardias más recientes. Cumbia somos recupera las peculiaridades geográficas y sociales que inciden en cada una de las aproximaciones y apropiaciones de ese lenguaje tropical expansivo y honra la multiplicidad de sonidos emanados del género: de artistas, como Totó La Mamposina, Los Ángeles Azules, Los Mirlos, Los Palmeras, Celso Piña, Yeison Landero, Gilda o Polibio Mayorga, de sellos emblemáticos, como Discos Fuentes, Codiscos y de colectivos, como Zizek, Los Pirañas y Sonido Gallo Negro. La cumbia es una banda sonora transgeneracional y multicultural, un patrimonio musical y bailable de la humanidad. ¡Que viva la cumbia y se baile por siempre!
Sabor peruano
La revisión que hace esta obra de un siglo de música es notable e inédita. Emprendida en complicidad con un grupo de periodistas, investigadores y músicos, nos lleva de viaje por las raíces y los frutos de la prolífica música peruana. Veintiún crónicas y ensayos nos introducen en este universo sonoro que, al igual que la gastronomía de Perú, posee una exquisita y fascinante diversidad que merece ser escuchada fuera de las fronteras de esta milenaria y maravillosa tierra. La travesía a la que nos invita Sabor peruano está poblada tanto de personajes históricos como de nuevas promesas musicales que continúan renovando su tradición con orgullo y pasión. Un recorrido exhaustivo y riguroso que traza un mapa sonoro e incluye una serie de playlists para acompañar la lectura de sus páginas musicales.

The Monfort Plan
The Monfort Plan is a five-year, forward looking plan to eradicate extreme poverty from the developing world, and details how microfinance has made a difference to developing countries. This book proposes a new institution based in the developing world with the potential to provide a basic, free, and universal service in the areas of water, sanitation, healthcare, and education to the extreme poor worldwide. The provision will be subject to a certain degree of conditionality in areas ranging from corruption to legal environment. The new institution will be established in a new international territory based within a specific country in Subsaharan Africa and will emerge in 2015. In The Monfort...
Partitional Clustering via Nonsmooth Optimization
This book describes optimization models of clustering problems and clustering algorithms based on optimization techniques, including their implementation, evaluation, and applications. The book gives a comprehensive and detailed description of optimization approaches for solving clustering problems; the authors' emphasis on clustering algorithms is based on deterministic methods of optimization. The book also includes results on real-time clustering algorithms based on optimization techniques, addresses implementation issues of these clustering algorithms, and discusses new challenges arising from big data. The book is ideal for anyone teaching or learning clustering algorithms. It provides an accessible introduction to the field and it is well suited for practitioners already familiar with the basics of optimization.
Primate Communities
Comprehensive and unique volume exploring the differences and similarities between primate communities worldwide.
Introduction to Stochastic Programming
This rapidly developing field encompasses many disciplines including operations research, mathematics, and probability. Conversely, it is being applied in a wide variety of subjects ranging from agriculture to financial planning and from industrial engineering to computer networks. This textbook provides a first course in stochastic programming suitable for students with a basic knowledge of linear programming, elementary analysis, and probability. The authors present a broad overview of the main themes and methods of the subject, thus helping students develop an intuition for how to model uncertainty into mathematical problems, what uncertainty changes bring to the decision process, and what techniques help to manage uncertainty in solving the problems. The early chapters introduce some worked examples of stochastic programming, demonstrate how a stochastic model is formally built, develop the properties of stochastic programs and the basic solution techniques used to solve them. The book then goes on to cover approximation and sampling techniques and is rounded off by an in-depth case study. A well-paced and wide-ranging introduction to this subject.
Recent Advances in Optimization and its Applications in Engineering
Mathematical optimization encompasses both a rich and rapidly evolving body of fundamental theory, and a variety of exciting applications in science and engineering. The present book contains a careful selection of articles on recent advances in optimization theory, numerical methods, and their applications in engineering. It features in particular new methods and applications in the fields of optimal control, PDE-constrained optimization, nonlinear optimization, and convex optimization. The authors of this volume took part in the 14th Belgian-French-German Conference on Optimization (BFG09) organized in Leuven, Belgium, on September 14-18, 2009. The volume contains a selection of reviewed articles contributed by the conference speakers as well as three survey articles by plenary speakers and two papers authored by the winners of the best talk and best poster prizes awarded at BFG09. Researchers and graduate students in applied mathematics, computer science, and many branches of engineering will find in this book an interesting and useful collection of recent ideas on the methods and applications of optimization.
Yma Sumac [exotica vocalist]
Yma Sumac: Exotica World Music Vocalist The next Musician Snapshots book in the 'Music You Should Hear Series' is a profile of singer Yma Sumac. With a four-octave range, Peruvian vocalist Yma (pronounced EE-ma) Sumac shocked and captivated 1950s America and became a household name around the world. Her first few albums included loose interpretations of South American melodies with Afro-Cuban rhythms and Western-style instrumentation, making her albums avant garde yet accessible, and cementing her status as the queen of the new musical genre of “exotica.” Not only did her extremely wide octave range make audiences stop in their tracks (for reference, most people have a singing range of around 2-3 octaves), but her fearless vocal experimentation was a stark contrast to the sweet crooners like Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby who were the top sellers in 1950, the year her first album was released. She was soon featured on Broadway, cast in movies alongside stars such as Charlton Heston, and performing sold-out shows from Las Vegas to New York.
