Account of the Martyrs in the Provinces of La Florida

By: Luis Jerónimo de Oré

Few English-speaking readers are familiar with the life or the writings of the sixteenth-century Franciscan chronicler Luis Jerónimo de Oré, particularly his neglected Relación, about the early Spanish presence in territories now part of the United States. His account of La Florida—an area that in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries included present-day Florida as well as territory north to Virginia and west into Kansas—reflects the desire of the Spanish Crown and various religious orders to explore and to establish a presence in the region. This edition of Luis Jerónimo de Oré’s work presents readers with a new introduction and an annotated translation that place the text in the broader context of international politics. The narrative develops our understanding of the early Spanish presence in the continental United States while documenting frontier life and the contacts with Native Americans in the South and along the Eastern Seaboard.

Remote Sensing Image Processing

By: Gustavo Camps-Valls,Devis Tuia,Luis Gómez-Chova,Sandra Jiménez,Jesus Malo

Earth observation is the field of science concerned with the problem of monitoring and modeling the processes on the Earth surface and their interaction with the atmosphere. The Earth is continuously monitored with advanced optical and radar sensors. The images are analyzed and processed to deliver useful products to individual users, agencies and public administrations. To deal with these problems, remote sensing image processing is nowadays a mature research area, and the techniques developed in the field allow many real-life applications with great societal value. For instance, urban monitoring, fire detection or flood prediction can have a great impact on economical and environmental issues. To attain such objectives, the remote sensing community has turned into a multidisciplinary field of science that embraces physics, signal theory, computer science, electronics and communications. From a machine learning and signal/image processing point of view, all the applications are tackled under specific formalisms, such as classification and clustering, regression and function approximation, data coding, restoration and enhancement, source unmixing, data fusion or feature selection and extraction. This book covers some of the fields in a comprehensive way. Table of Contents: Remote Sensing from Earth Observation Satellites / The Statistics of Remote Sensing Images / Remote Sensing Feature Selection and Extraction / Classification / Spectral Mixture Analysis / Estimation of Physical Parameters

El libro está organizado en nueve capítulos. En los capítulos iniciales, se presenta el AC como una disciplina y método analítico para el estudio del habla y otras formas de conducta humana en la interacción social, se hace un breve recuento histórico del desarrollo de la perspectiva analítico-conversacional y se introduce a los lectores al sistema de transcripción usado en el AC. Los capítulos siguientes están dedicados a explorar cuatro dominios claves en la organización de la conversación espontánea: la toma de turnos, las secuencias de acciones, la preferencia y la enmienda, destacando la importancia de prácticas del diseño de turno en cada dominio. Seguidamente, se discute la conexión entre organizaciones y prácticas del habla en interacción y contextos sociales e identidades de los participantes en conversación. El libro concluye ofreciendo una serie de sugerencias para la investigación analítico-conversacional en español y señalando su relevancia para la indagación de la interacción en contextos legales, políticos, médicos, tecnológicos, entre otros. Cada capítulo incluye ejemplos tomados de conversaciones auténticas en distintas variedades de español, cuyos audios pueden ser consultados directamente en línea. Con el fin de revisar y profundizar lo aprendido, cada capítulo ofrece un apartado final con preguntas, actividades y lecturas adicionales. Como apéndices al libro, se ofrecen, además, un glosario de términos bidireccional español–inglés y un sumario con las convenciones de transcripción más usadas.

The Atlantic World and the Manila Galleons

Circulation, Market, and Consumption of Asian Goods in the Spanish Empire, 1565–1650

By: José Luis Gasch-Tomás

Studies of the trade between the Atlantic World and Asia during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries typically focus on the exchanges between Atlantic European countries – especially Portugal, the Netherlands and England – and Asia across the Cape route. In The Atlantic World and the Manila Galleons. Circulation, Market, and Consumption of Asian Goods in the Spanish Empire, 1565-1650, José L. Gasch-Tomás offers a new approach to understanding the connections between the Atlantic World and Asia. By drawing attention to the trans-Pacific trade between the Americas and the Philippines, the re-exportation of Asian goods from New Spain to Castile, and the consumption of Chinese silk, Chinese porcelain and Japanese furnishings in New Spain and Seville, this book discloses how New Spanish cities and elites were main components of the spread of taste for Asian goods in the Spanish Empire. This book reveals how New Spanish family and commercial networks channelled the market formation of Asian goods in the Atlantic World around 1600.
