A powerful, unified approach to mathematical and computational modeling in science and engineering Mathematical and computational modeling makes it possible to predict the behavior of a broad range of systems across a broad range of disciplines. This text guides students and professionals through the axiomatic approach, a powerful method that will enable them to easily master the principle types of mathematical and computational models used in engineering and science. Readers will discover that this axiomatic approach not only enables them to systematically construct effective models, it also enables them to apply these models to any macroscopic physical system. Mathematical Modeling in Science and Engineering focuses on models in which the processes to be modeled are expressed as systems of partial differential equations. It begins with an introductory discussion of the axiomatic formulation of basic models, setting the foundation for further topics such as: Mechanics of classical and non-classical continuous systems Solute transport by a free fluid Flow of a fluid in a porous medium Multiphase systems Enhanced oil recovery Fluid mechanics Throughout the text, diagrams are provided to help readers visualize and better understand complex mathematical concepts. A set of exercises at the end of each chapter enables readers to put their new modeling skills into practice. There is also a bibliography in each chapter to facilitate further investigation of individual topics. Mathematical Modeling in Science and Engineering is ideal for both students and professionals across the many disciplines of science and engineering that depend on mathematical and computational modeling to predict and understand complex systems.

This collection of essays is designed to shed light on the issues of imperialism and the transitions to socialism. Written by eighteen contributors, from twelve countries and three continents, it is organized into two main parts. The first section delves into the theoretical aspects, the analysis of which is key for understanding the subject under consideration. The second part of the volume is focused on the examination of practical experiences of socialist transition, more or less advanced and with varying degrees of success, in China, Vietnam, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Brazil. Imperialism and Transitions to Socialism argues that countries wanting to embark on a socialist transition is not only a response to a spirit of justice, but also an answer to the call of reason: it is a question of survival for humanity, and for life. Socialism is not just a word, it is a struggle. It is not an end, but a transition process, long and difficult, that can take many paths towards the liberation of labour from the domination of capital. It is socialism, a society of solidarity, which walks with history.

Jazz piano no es un libro para aprender a tocar el piano, sino que está destinado a ampliar y mejorar las técnicas de improvisación, explicadas sobre un teclado.El objetivo fundamental de esta obra es dar una visión distinta del concepto de ‘acorde’ en el entorno musical que denominamos jazz, término que abarca muchos tipos de música. Así, más que pensar en acordes, esta obra propone que pensemos en escalas. Se podría decir que los acordes son simplemente un concepto teórico, lo real son las escalas.Finalmente, este libro brinda al músico la manera de liberarse de algunas inercias que, a veces, nos tienen atenazados y nos impiden profundizar y disfrutar del jazz y la improvisación.

The beautifully illustrated and authoritative biography of Frida Kahlo 'Frida will hold its place as the first comprehensive biography of this most visceral of artists' Observer 'Mesmerizing' Time Frida is the story of one of the twentieth century’s most extraordinary women, the painter Frida Kahlo. Born near Mexico City, she grew up during the turbulent days of the Mexican Revolution and, at eighteen, was the victim of an accident that left her crippled and unable to bear children. To salvage what she could from her unhappy situation, Kahlo had to learn to keep still – so she began to paint. Kahlo’s unique talent was to make her one of the century’s most enduring artists. But her remarkable paintings were only one element of a rich and dramatic life. Frida is also the story of her tempestuous marriage to the muralist Diego Rivera, her love affairs with numerous, diverse men such as Isamu Noguchi and Leon Trotsky, her involvement with the Communist Party, her absorption in Mexican folklore and culture, and of the inspiration behind her unforgettable art.

Es habitual seguir a la víctima a partir de evidencias estandarizadas, documentadas convencionalmente desde registros psicológicos, sociológicos o normativos. Es, sin embargo, menos frecuente ir a darle encuentro, o perseguir su silueta distintiva, entre la moderna imaginería virtual, los poemarios tradicionales, la Ópera, el Cine, la Historia criminal, la Narrativa o la Tragedia: es esa, precisamente la singular substancia alojada en estas páginas. A este género de abordajes, unimos el análisis desde planteamientos dogmáticos que valoran el rol penal de la cultura, los enfoques criminológico-visuales o narrativos, así como igualmente, el descifrado de códigos sub-culturales victimógenos. El resultado -en ello confíamos- es una panorámica o fresco victimológico-cultural en su más amplio e integrador sentido, donde las expresiones estilizadas de la victimización, verdadera estética social de una víctima puesta al reflejo de la cultura, dan al victimólogo pautas valiosas para comprender,
