Irrealidades es una historia de amor contempor nea, que tiene lugar en el noroeste de M xico; en una regi n donde la violencia, la corrupci n y la industria ilegal de las drogas habr an tomado el control de las instituciones y del ritmo de vida de los ciudadanos. La novela data de un hombre joven llamado Luis Emilio, quien apenas ha llegando de una misi n religiosa entre pueblos ind genas; se enamora de una chica hermosa de nombre Yamila, la cual posee f sicamente los atributos que los hombres poderosos buscan. La pareja es exigida a demostrar que es capaz de soportar la maldad en su m xima expresi n para proteger su amor. La magia de la meta-ficci n inserta al lector de Irrealidades en situaciones absurdamente reales. Pues entre el amor, el erotismo, la maldad y los secretos de la vida de los personajes, la realidad va tomando forma; describiendo con un alto grado de certeza el mundo latino, donde el ser humano ama, sufre y vive. La trama expone al lector la manera de experimentar el amor hasta sus l mites, si es que el amor los tuviera. Irrealidades promete una aventura llena de sorpresas, en donde la apat a y la maldad entre la sociedad convierten una ficci n como sta en invisible, pero existente. El lector se adentrar en las casi setecientas p ginas de la obra: llorar , gozar y no sabr si sufrir o re r al enfrenarse a la agitada vida de Luis Emilio. Sin embargo, entender que tanto la historia de ste, como la propia, apenas tomar an forma.

Memoirs of Bernardo Vega: A Contribution to the History of the Puerto Rican Community in New York
When Bernardo Vega arrived in New York from Puerto Rico in 1916, he was at the forefront of a migrant stream that was soon to become a flood. His memoirs-perceptive, lively, and politically aware-provide us with a unique and often humorous firsthand account of the life of an immigrant, as well as of the concerns and activities of the Puerto Rican community in New York in the period between the wars. A true worker-intellectual, a cigar-maker by trade, Bernardo Vega tells about the difficulties faced by the new immigrants, about their growing involvement in political parties, labor organizations, and socialist movements, and about their vibrant cultural life. He includes the recollections of his uncle, which offer a rare glimpse of Puerto Rican life in New York in the late nineteenth century, during the Cuban and Puerto Rican wars of independence against Spain. Thus the memoirs are not only absorbing reading, but an important contribution to the history of the Puerto Rican community in New York, and to the literature on immigration, ethnic relations, and urban history.
The Old and New… A Narrative on the History of the Society for Experimental Mechanics
The field of Experimental Mechanics has evolved substantially over the past 100 years. In the early years, the field was primarily comprised of applied physicists, civil engineers, railroad engineers, and mechanical engineers. The field defined itself by those who invented, developed, and refined experimental tools and techniques, based on the latest technologies available, to better understand the fundamental mechanics of materials and structures used to design many aspects of our everyday life. What the early experimental mechanician measured, observed, and evaluated were things like stress, strain, fracture, and fatigue, to name a few, which remain fundamental to the field today. This book guides you through a chronology of the formation of the Society for Experimental Mechanics, and its ensuing evolution. The Society was founded in 1935 by a very small group of individuals that understood the value of creating a common forum for people working in the field of Applied Mechanics of Solids, where extensive theoretical developments needed the input of experimental validation. A community of individuals who—through research, applications, sharp discussion of ideas—could fulfill the needs of a nation rapidly evolving in the technological field. The founders defined, influenced, and grew the field of what we now call Experimental Mechanics. Written as a narrative, the author describes, based on input from numerous individuals and personal experiences, the evolution of the New England Photoelasticity Conference to what we know today as the Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM). The narrative is the author's perspective that invites members of the Society to contribute to the story by adding names of individuals, institutions, and technologies that have defined the Society over the past 75 years. Many of the key individuals who greatly influenced the advancement of the field of Experimental Mechanics are mentioned. These individuals are, in many ways, the founders of the field who have written textbooks, brought their teaching leadership and experiences to the classroom, worked on the Apollo project, and invented testing, evaluation, and measurement equipment that have shaped the fields of engineering. SEM's international membership is highly represented by those in academia, as you will read, although there has always been a powerful balance and contribution from industry and research organizations across the globe. The role of the experimental mechanician is defined, in many ways, through the individual legacies shared in the following pages….legacies that define the past and create the foundation for what is now and what is to come.

We all understand that knowledge shapes the fate of business and the growth of nations, but few of us are aware of the principles that govern its motion. The Infinite Alphabet unravels the laws describing the growth and diffusion of knowledge by taking you from a failed attempt to build a city of knowledge in Ecuador to the growth of China’s innovation economy. Through dozens of stories, you will learn why aircraft manufacturers in Italy began manufacturing scooters after the Second World War and how migrants like Samuel Slater shaped the industrial fabric of the United States.Knowledge is the secret to the wealth of nations. But to understand it, we must accept that it is not a single thing, but an ever-growing tapestry of unique ideas, experiences and received wisdom. An Infinite Alphabet that we are only beginning to fathom.César A. Hidalgo, a world-renowned scholar for his work on economic complexity, will walk you through the “three laws” and the many principles that govern how knowledge grows, moves, and decays. By the end of this journey, you will understand why knowledge grows exponentially in the electronics industry and what mechanisms govern its diffusion across geographic borders, social networks, and professional boundaries.Together these principles will teach you how knowledge shapes the world.
How Humans Judge Machines

How Humans Judge Machines

How people judge humans and machines differently, in scenarios involving natural disasters, labor displacement, policing, privacy, algorithmic bias, and more.How would you feel about losing your job to a machine? How about a tsunami alert system that fails? Would you react differently to acts of discrimination depending on whether they were carried out by a machine or by a human? What about public surveillance? How Humans Judge Machines compares people's reactions to actions performed by humans and machines. Using data collected in dozens of experiments, this book reveals the biases that permeate human-machine interactions. Are there conditions in which we judge machines unfairly? Is our judgment of machines affected by the moral dimensions of a scenario? Is our judgment of machine correlated with demographic factors such as education or gender? Cesar Hidalgo and colleagues use hard science to take on these pressing technological questions. Using randomized experiments, they create revealing counterfactuals and build statistical models to explain how people judge artificial intelligence and whether they do it fairly. Through original research, How Humans Judge Machines bring us one step closer tounderstanding the ethical consequences of AI.

En 1943 se film la pel cula Distinto amanecer, basada en la obra teatral La vida conyugal, de Max Aub. A partir de entonces, el escritor trabajar en la industria cinematogr fica mexicana, que experimentaba un notable desarrollo, una verdadera " poca de oro", y ser para l una de sus principales fuentes de ingresos con las que subsistir en su vida de exiliado republicano. Las tensiones resultantes de la primera relaci n con esa industria tendr n consecuencias sobre su posterior inserci n en el mbito cultural del pa s de refugio. Revisar esas tensiones ayuda a comprender los primeros tiempos de Aub en M xico tanto como a vislumbrar rasgos del mundo intelectual en el que desenvolvi su trabajo. La pel cula, en fin, permite hilar una compleja red de nexos entre la pol tica, la industria cultural y la esfera art stica, para mostrar una imagen no siempre perceptible a simple vista. Dado que la adaptaci n de la obra teatral al film gener una serie de conflictos entre Aub y el director, Julio Bracho, se estudia aqu esa pol mica, a partir no s lo de los documentos rescatados por diversos investigadores, sino tambi n, por primera vez, del guion original de la pel cula. Este guion, olvidado desde 1943, es un interesante documento que echa luz sobre los objetivos y pretensiones de una producci n con la que, a pesar de todo, Aub comenzaba su extenso v nculo con el cine mexicano.
