A Life in Linguistics
Alexandra Cornilescu is an internationally renowned linguist, whose pioneering ideas have been influential in developing generative grammar in Romania, Europe and beyond. The weightiness of her contributions to the field is matched only by her talent for disseminating them. Ever since 1970, when she started teaching at the University of Bucharest, she has continuously played a tireless and inspirational role in the creation of several generations of linguists, which the academic world has come to admiringly refer to as The Bucharest School. As the initiator of the AICED conference, held annually in the English Department at the University of Bucharest, she has turned it into one of the leading platforms of generative linguistics in Europe. She has published extensively on Romanian and English linguistics and is also the founder and past editor of the journal Bucharest Working Papers in Linguistics. On the occasion of her 75th birthday, her friends, students and colleagues celebrate Alexandra Cornilescu’s work with this collection of essays on various topics of current theoretical interest.

The Crystal series darkens in this restless dance through AI, game theory, and truly alien minds.

The Legend of Pedra: The Search for "That Green Boy" - Parte 1
O sucesso da coluna "pedrástica" N-Blast Responde deu origem à HQ The Legend of Pedra, onde a personagem Pedra, paródia de The Legend of Zelda se aventura por Hyrule (com várias participações e easter eggs de outros personagens Nintendo).

Até que, um dia, o espírito maligno - selado no passado pelos sábios e pelo herói lendário - encontrou uma forma de se libertar. Corrompendo o coração de pessoas fracas, o inimigo convenceu estes a darem suas vidas para quebrar o selo sagrado que o m...
The Lost Cinema of Mexico
The Lost Cinema of Mexico is the first volume to challenge the dismissal of Mexican filmmaking during the 1960s through 1980s, an era long considered a low-budget departure from the artistic quality and international acclaim of the nation’s earlier Golden Age. This pivotal collection examines the critical implications of discovering, uncovering, and recovering forgotten or ignored films. This largely unexamined era of film reveals shifts in Mexican culture, economics, and societal norms as state-sponsored revolutionary nationalism faltered. During this time, movies were widely embraced by the public as a way to make sense of the rapidly changing realities and values connected to Mexico’s...
