The Power of Entrepreneurs

Politics and Economy in Contemporary Spain

By: Mercedes Cabrera,Fernando del Rey

Although Spain is an important member of the EU, relatively little is known about its economy and its interrelationship with political forces. This book, the first of its kind, offers a long-term view and analyzes this ever-changing relationship throughout the 20th century with its various upheavals such as the crisis of the democratic republic and the civil war in the 1930s, the long General Franco dictatorship from the 1940s until the 1970s and the subsequent transition to democracy. From the detailed studies of individual cases, specific companies as well as entrepreneurial organizations, a very diverse picture emerges, contradicting widespread simplistic interpretations of politico-economic linkages, which demonstrates both the pluralism of the economic interests as well as the complexity of their relationship to the political class.

The Classification of Stars

By: Carlos Jaschek,Mercedes Jaschek

The classification of stars into their various types is one of the fundamental areas of astronomy. This book is a comprehensive handbook on the tools, methods and results of stellar taxonomy. Although this subject is firmly rooted in classical astronomy, vast improvements in observational techniques have transformed the subject and greatly broadened the wavelength regions available for study. The first six chapters describe modern methods of spectroscopic and photometric classification. The remaining nine chapters describe particular families of stars, progressing from the hottest to the coolest. Within each category a description is given of the normal type and all the peculiar stars. Throughout the emphasis is on the phenomenology of classification, rather than the underlying astrophysics. Both authors have devoted themselves to developing the international centre for stellar data at Strasbourg, which uniquely qualifies them to write this definitive handbook for professional astronomers.

Judges

By: Mercedes L. García Bachmann

A woman called blessed for killing a Canaanite general; another called "Mother in Israel" for leading troops into war; several other mothers absent when their children need them; a judge, Deborah, with a proper name and a recognized place for public counseling; a single woman, Delilah, who seduces and conquers Samson. The book of Judges features an outstanding number of women, named and unnamed, in family roles and also active in society, mostly objects of violent dealings between men. This volume looks not only at women in their traditional roles (daughter, wife, mother) but also at how society at large deals with women (and with men) in war, in strife, and sometimes in peace.

Subject Stages

Marriage, Theatre and the Law in Early Modern Spain

By: María Mercedes Carrión

Subject Stages argues that the discourses and practices of marital legislation, litigation, and theatrics informed each other in early modern Spain in ways that still have a critical bearing on contemporary events in Spain, such as the legalization of divorce in 1978 and of same-sex marriage in 2005.

The Quest for Certainty in Early Modern Europe

From Inquisition to Inquiry, 1550–1700

By: Barbara Fuchs,Mercedes García-Arenal

This interdisciplinary collection explores how the early modern pursuit of knowledge in very different spheres – from Inquisitional investigations to biblical polemics to popular healing – was conditioned by a shared desire for certainty, and how epistemological crises produced by the religious upheavals of early modern Europe were also linked to the development of new scientific methods. Questions of representation became newly fraught as the production of knowledge increasingly challenged established orthodoxies. The volume focuses on the social and institutional dimensions of inquiry in light of political and cultural challenges, while also foregrounding the Hispanic world, which has often been left out of histories of scepticism and modernity. Featuring essays by historians and literary scholars from Europe and the United States, The Quest for Certainty in Early Modern Europe reconstructs the complexity of early modern epistemological debates across the disciplines, in a variety of cultural, social, and intellectual locales.

Secretos y cenizas

Una historia de amor ante el peligro de una guerra que pudo cambiar el destino de América.

By: Mercedes Santos

1738, Carina de Ulloa recibe la carta que cambiará su vida. Su padre, un marino de la Armada Real destinado al Virreinato de Nueva Granada, le pide que se reúna con él en Cartagena de Indias. La esperan una fortuna en cacaotales y un aristócrata venido a menos con quien casarse. Pero al desembarcar le informan que su padre fue asesinado y su prometido se casó con otra. Pronto Carina descubrirá los turbios negocios de su padre, el contrabando generalizado, el clima de guerra que se vive en todo el Caribe entre España e Inglaterra, la existencia de una hermanastra mulata perseguida por la Inquisición y los pasquines difamatorios que la han puesto en ridículo antes de llegar a la ciudad. Su camino se cruzará con el de Diego de Veranz, un malcriado aristócrata desterrado de la ciudad acusado de un crimen, que tras su fachada de bonvivant trabaja en secreto para la Corona. Oculto tras el disfraz de letrado, ayudará a la mujer a la que él mismo convirtió en el hazmerreír de toda Cartagena. Ambos buscan venganza, pero serán arrollados por un elemento imprevisto: la pasión.Las plantaciones de cacao, las misas negras en las ciénagas, el poder de la Inquisición y el lujo de la corte virreinal, el pirateo en Jamaica y Tortuga, el asalto inglés a Portobello y el ataque inglés a Cartagena -el mayor en la historia naval hasta el de Normandía doscientos años después-, son el escenario de esta heroica novela de amor.

Goya’s Graphic Imagination

By: Mark McDonald,Mercedes Cerón-Peña,Francisco J. R. Chaparro,Jesusa Vega

This book presents the first focused investigation of Francisco Goya's (1746–1828) graphic output. Spanning six decades, Goya’s works on paper reflect the transformation and turmoil of the Enlightenment, the Inquisition, and Spain's years of constitutional government. Two essays, a detailed chronology, and more than 100 featured artworks illuminate the remarkable breadth and power of Goya's drawings and prints, situating the artist within his historical moment. The selected pieces document the various phases and qualities of Goya's graphic work—from his early etchings after Velázquez through print series such as the Caprichos and The Disasters of War to his late lithographs, The Bulls of Bordeaux, and including albums of drawings that reveal the artist’s nightmares, dreams, and visions.

The Behavior of Chemical Elements in Stars

By: Carlos Jaschek,Mercedes Jaschek

Despite more than one century of observational stellar spectroscopy, the resulting data are not available in an easily accessible format. The necessity of such basic information is greater than ever, because new wavelength regions (ultraviolet, infrared) are now accessible and because modern receivers can only analyze short stretches of spectra, so that a careful pre-selection of strategic elements is mandatory. This book presents a summary of our knowledge of the behavior of all chemical elements identified in stars, based on observations rather than on their interpretations. Whenever possible the behavior is described quantitatively, with the help of equivalent widths in different types of stars, or different ionization stages, for both absorption and emission features. It will be essential to the spectroscopist when confronted with questions like the following: . What is the behavior of europium in metallic line stars or in S-type stars? Are the neutral lines of this element visible, are they strengthened or weakened with regard to normal dwarfs? A huge amount of data has been gathered by experts in the field and presented in a way that will be invaluable to professional astrophysicists, cosmochemists and their students.

Multiscale Forecasting Models

By: Lida Mercedes Barba Maggi

This book presents two new decomposition methods to decompose a time series in intrinsic components of low and high frequencies. The methods are based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) of a Hankel matrix (HSVD). The proposed decomposition is used to improve the accuracy of linear and nonlinear auto-regressive models. Linear Auto-regressive models (AR, ARMA and ARIMA) and Auto-regressive Neural Networks (ANNs) have been found insufficient because of the highly complicated nature of some time series. Hybrid models are a recent solution to deal with non-stationary processes which combine pre-processing techniques with conventional forecasters, some pre-processing techniques broadly implemented are Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) and Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT). Although the flexibility of SSA and SWT allows their usage in a wide range of forecast problems, there is a lack of standard methods to select their parameters. The proposed decomposition HSVD and Multilevel SVD are described in detail through time series coming from the transport and fishery sectors. Further, for comparison purposes, it is evaluated the forecast accuracy reached by SSA and SWT, both jointly with AR-based models and ANNs.
