Because, inside the pages of this book, your new cat awaits. Isn’t he sweet? Just look at him twitch his tiny nose! As a pet-owner, it’s your job to wake him up (call out his name), softly stroke his back (with your finger) and shelter him from the rain (your hand makes a great umbrella!). It’s quite hard work – phew! – but it’s so much fun. From minibombo, the creators of The White Book and Black Cat, White Cat comes a playful picture book that cleverly encourages you to interact with the physicality of the page itself, and a book that will, with the help of your imagination, bring a purr-y, fluffy cat to life. Miaow!Check out minibombo.com to find plenty of fun ideas for playing and creating inspired by this book!
Territorial Appropriation during the Old Kingdom (XXVIIIth-XXIIIth centuries BC)
The concepts of territory and territoriality are analysed on the basis of anthropological and archaeological data. It is assumed that territory and territoriality are more complex concepts than simple space occupation. For the case of Egypt in the Old Kingdom, the author of this volume considers different variables related to the ideology and to the socio-political and economic systems of the Egyptian state. Its consolidation, the royal power legitimisation and that of the elite, and the socio-political and economic system are here considered from their unification in the Early Dynastic period, to the Old Kingdom, when the state expanded and its political and ideological maturity was achieved.

This volume is a study of later Iberian prehistory and contributes to our understanding of the range of religious beliefs and practices present in the Celtic-speaking world. There is an overview of earlier perceptions of sacrificial stones and altars presented in the context of developing visions of Celts and Druids beginning in the seventeenth century. There follows an in-depth study of one of the most extensively excavated hill top settlements Numancia a site which presents a microcosm of the issues involved in attempting to use raw archaeological evidence to interpret human behaviour. In addition there is a detailed assessment of urban and domestic sanctuaries and votive deposits; a detailed consideration of cave sanctuaries; and studies of votive metalwork, of the enigmatic verracos, of epigraphy from sanctuaries and or ritual artefacts.

La fauna del villaggio dell'età del Ferro di Bressanone-Stufles (Alto Adige, Italia)

La fauna del villaggio dell'età del Ferro di Bressanone-Stufles (Alto Adige, Italia)

Il villaggio di Bressanone-Stufles (Alto Adige, Italia) stato oggetto di decennali indagini archeologiche che hanno confermato un'occupazione lungo tutta l'et del Ferro (VI-I sec. a.C.). L'ampio bacino di ossa animali analizzato, a cui sono stati aggiunti i dati editi di studi precedenti, ha permesso di formulare ipotesi sulla paleo-economia adottata dal villaggio e di stabilire un modello socio-economico dell'area retica.L'economia si basava primariamente sull'allevamento di bovini e ovicaprini al fine di sfruttarne i prodotti secondari (trazione, latte, riproduzione, lana). Integrando approcci diversi, archeologico e sociale, si tentato di stabilire le diverse destinazioni funzionali del villaggio e la presenza di gruppi sociali differenziati. L'analisi delle dimensioni degli animali si rivelata utile per valutarne i cambiamenti in senso cronologico e geografico con le regioni confinanti. Ci , assieme alla scoperta di un reperto riferibile ad un asino, ha aperto la strada ad ipotesi di legami con il mondo etrusco e mediterraneo.The village of Bressanone-Stufles (South Tyrol, Italy) has been the subject of archaeological investigations for decades; the excavations have confirmed a continuity of occupation throughout the Iron Age (6th-1st c. BC). The large animal bone assemblage analysed in this study, which includes published data from previous publication as well as unpublished materials, made it possible to formulate hypotheses on the palaeo-economy adopted by the human group inhabiting this village and to establish a socio-economic model for the Rhaetian area.The economy at the site was primarily based on the rearing of cattle and sheep/goats to exploit their secondary products (traction, milk, reproduction, wool). By adopting a social and archaeological approach a study of the possible functional uses of several areas of the village was carried out and an investigation of the presence of differentiated social groups was accomplished. A biometric comparison between the Bressanone-Stufles assemblage and assemblages from neighbouring regions was also conducted to understand whether livestock size differences through time could be identified. This analysis, together with the discovery of a bone find attributed to a donkey, points toward the likely existence of links with the Etruscan and Mediterranean worlds.
Early Modern Jesuits between Obedience and Conscience during the Generalate of Claudio Acquaviva (1581-1615)
The Society of Jesus was founded by Ignatius Loyola on a principal of strict obedience to papal and superiors’ authorities, yet the nature of the Jesuits's work and the turbulent political circumstances in which they operated, inevitably brought them into conflict with the Catholic hierarchy. In order to better understand and contextualise the debates concerning obedience, this book examines the Jesuits of south-western Europe during the generalate of Claudio Acquaviva. Acquaviva’s thirty year generalate (1581-1615) marked a challenging time for the Jesuits, during which their very system of government was called into doubt. The need for obedience and the limits of that obedience posed a question of fundamental importance both to debates taking place within the Society, and to the definition of a collective Jesuit identity. At the same time, struggles for jurisdiction between political states and the papacy, as well as the difficulties raised by the Protestant Reformation, all called for matters to be rethought. Divided into four chapters, the book begins with an analysis of the texts and contexts in which Jesuits reflected on obedience at the turn of the seventeenth century. The three following chapters then explore the various Ignatian sources that discussed obedience, placing them within their specific contexts. In so doing the book provides fascinating insights into how the Jesuits under Acquaviva approached the concept of obedience from theological and practical standpoints.
How to Be an American: A Field Guide to Citizenship
The current political climate has left many of us wondering how our government actually operates. Sure, we learned about it in school, but if put to the test, how many of us can correctly explain the branches of government? The history of politics? The differences and connections between local government and federal government? Enter How to Be an American. While author and illustrator Silvia Hidalgo was studying for her citizenship test, she quickly found that the materials provided by the government were lacking. In order to more easily absorb the information, Hidalgo started her own illustrated reference to civics facts and American history essentials. She’s collected her findings in How to Be an American, a freshly designed and illustrated two-color guide to all things America.

A One-Stop Source of Known Results, a Bibliography of Papers on the Subject, and Novel Research Directions Focusing on a very active area of research in the last decade, Combinatorics of Compositions and Words provides an introduction to the methods used in the combinatorics of pattern avoidance and pattern enumeration in compositions and words. It also presents various tools and approaches that are applicable to other areas of enumerative combinatorics.After a historical perspective on research in the area, the text introduces techniques to solve recurrence relations, including iteration and generating functions. It then focuses on enumeration of basic statistics for compositions. The text goes on to present results on pattern avoidance for subword, subsequence, and generalized patterns in compositions and then applies these results to words. The authors also cover automata, the ECO method, generating trees, and asymptotic results via random compositions and complex analysis. Highlighting both established and new results, this book explores numerous tools for enumerating patterns in compositions and words. It includes a comprehensive bibliography and incorporates the use of the computer algebra systems Maple™ and Mathematica®, as well as C++ to perform computations.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "It's Lovecraft meets the Bront s in Latin America, and after a slow-burn start Mexican Gothic gets seriously weird."--The Guardian IN DEVELOPMENT AS A HULU ORIGINAL LIMITED SERIES PRODUCED BY KELLY RIPA AND MARK CONSUELOS An isolated mansion. A chillingly charismatic aristocrat. And a brave socialite drawn to expose their treacherous secrets. . . .From the author of Gods of Jade and Shadow comes "a terrifying twist on classic gothic horror" (Kirkus Reviews) set in glamorous 1950s Mexico. After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noem Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She's not sure what she will find--her cousin's husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noem knows little about the region. Noem is also an unlikely rescuer: She's a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she's also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin's new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noem ; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi's dreams with visions of blood and doom. Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family's youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noem , but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family's past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noem digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness. And Noem , mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind. "It's as if a supernatural power compels us to turn the pages of the gripping Mexican Gothic."--The Washington Post "Mexican Gothic is the perfect summer horror read, and marks Moreno-Garcia with her hypnotic and engaging prose as one of the genre's most exciting talents."--Nerdist "A period thriller as rich in suspense as it is in lush '50s atmosphere."--Entertainment Weekly

El espanol y su estructura, Segunda edicion, es un repaso integro del espanol para estudiantes bilinguees a nivel universitario. Ha sido concebida para hispanohablantes que han vivido en contacto con el idioma pero que no han recibido instruccion formal en la adquisicion de la escritura estandarizada del idioma. Este texto puede usarse en un nivel basico como a nivel intermedio, sin embargo rinde mejores resultados cuando se emplea en cursos secuenciales a nivel de universidad. Sus 15 capitulos han sido corregidos y modificados con vistas hacia un mejor y mas facil entendimiento del material, teniendo en cuenta la poblacion estudiantil para la que ha sido concebida. Dos capitulos preliminares sirven de base para las lecciones subsiguientes. Entre los temas introductorios se exploran cuestiones sobre la puntuacion, la entonacion y otros relacionados. Asimismo se ha hecho hincapie en el area de los anglicismos y los problemas que se generan a partir de la interferencia lingueistica. Ademas de abarcar temas especificos de gramatica, tambien se incluyen secciones de ortografia destacando areas clave en el uso o abuso de consonantes o en la confusion entre ciertos pares de palabras y frases que al pronunciarlas suenan de forma muy parecida pero se escriben de forma muy distinta y no tienen el mismo significado. Esta segunda edicion incluye tambien tres autoexamenes, uno despues de cada 5 capitulos. Estos ejercicios representan un reto para los estudiantes y podrian usarse como practica para los examenes del curso. El espanol y su estructura, Segunda edicion, posee la ventaja de que incluye una seleccion de lecturas lo cual elimina la necesidad de comprar un libro de lectura adicional. Los estudiantes invierten en un libro de texto que integra en un solo volumen material adecuado y de calidad que provee una base firme que muy bien puede servir para prepararlos para una sub-especializacion o para una carrera en espanol.

El espanol y su evolucion es una obra compacta y didactica, dirigida a los estudiantes universitarios que estan haciendo una concentracion en espanol o los que se encuentran en un programa de Maestria. Nuestro texto se basa en la evolucion de la lengua castellana, desde sus origenes en latin hasta su forma presente. Al ser una segunda edicion, se infiere que el libro se ha estado preparando por mas de 10 anos y es el producto de extensas investigaciones en distintos campos linguisticos como trasfondos historicos, lenguas en contacto, dialectologia, etc. Sus numerosos y variados ejercicios proveen una herramienta idonea para que el estudiante alcance un alto nivel de proficiencia en el aprendizaje de nuestro idioma, su evolucion a partir del periodo latino y tambien las influencias que ha recibido de otras lenguas. Nuestras bibliografias se han puesto al dia y, finalmente, hay tres apendices referentes a terminologia linguistica, fonetica y el sistema verbal latino. La primera edicion (1999) del libro se ha empleado durante varios anos, lo cual nos ha permitido ver sus virtudes tanto como sus defectos, por lo cual nos hemos concentrado en aquellas e intentado corregir estos ultimos. El resultado es un producto maravilloso e innovador que ha probado ser muy efectivo para el grupo de alumnos al que va dirigido. Como nuestros propios estudiantes en el City College of New York han observado en diversas ocasiones: !Este curso es fenomenal y tambien es divertido! Creemos que ese aspecto "ligero" de la mayor parte de los ejercicios ha permitido que los estudiantes aprendan una asignatura arida dentro de una atmosfera relajada, todo sin perder, a la vez, su profundidad.
