Mucho más que un autor de ciencia ficción, Ray Bradbury (1920–2012) es uno de los grandes narradores del siglo xx. Maestro absoluto del relato, su obra ha influido en generaciones de escritores y cin

"La antropología de la inteligencia artificial (AIA) se presenta como un campo interdisciplinario que busca comprender la relación entre humanos y máquinas. En este contexto, la obra Filosofía del todo y autosimilitud. Una filosofia integral con vision holistica ofrece una perspectiva innovadora para repensar el trabajo de campo en la relacion maquina-humano-maquina. A traves del metodo dialectico y la consideracion de transversalidades, se busca superar la dicotomia entre lo humano y lo artificial, y se propone una vision integral que considere la complejidad y la interconexion de los sistemas. Esta aproximacion permite analizar criticamente la relacion entre humanos y maquinas, y ofrece una nueva perspectiva para entender la inteligencia artificial en su contexto sociocultural y filosofico".

La escena mundial emergente del street art: su estilo y el mensaje de una generación unida por un sentido de la responsabilidad social y a la que le mueve la necesidad de proteger el medio ambiente y a las minorias. Veinte estrellas en ascenso cuyas obras imaginativas y tecnicamente brillantes las llevan a la vanguardia del genero. Entrevistas y analisis meticulosos que le familiarizaran con un ambito artistico que se halla en un estado de desarrollo continuo e intenso. Estos artistas abordan su trabajo con alegria: son creadores que llenan de energia positiva y felicidad las paredes de las ciudades, y creen en el hecho indiscutible de que el arte puede cambiar el mundo.Entre los artistas destacados figuran el londinense Ben Slow, cuyas tintas negras y rostros profundamente expresivos adornan varios edificios de la capital del Reino Unido; el parisino Ardif, cuyas criaturas hibridas fusionan maquinas con la naturaleza; Inti, cuya obra ha proyectado el imaginario latinoamericano en todo el mundo; y el estadounidense Vince Ballentine, cuya tecnica combina elementos de rap y hiphop.

Aprenda cómo se ha registrado y estudiado el color a través del tiempo y descubra cómo este conocimiento ha dado forma a nuestra comprensión del mundo visual. Desde las investigaciones científicas de Isaac Newton hasta las creaciones experimentales de Olafur Eliasson, se explica la fascinante historia del color con una coleccion de material original que incluye tablas y circulos, paletas de diseñadores y de artistas e imagenes documentales excepcionales. Un homenaje a la sorprendente gama de teorias del color propuestas a lo largo del tiempo; ademas, se expone la creatividad y diversidad con que se han aplicado estas innovaciones. Un viaje de la exploracion, la expresion y el descubrimiento del color a traves de las herramientas de los pintores, el arte, los objetos impresos sin valor y la literatura. A lo largo de la historia, artistas, cientificos y filosofos han intentado explicar e imaginar el orden del espectro visible de colores. El orden de los colores, tanto practica como conceptualmente, es un espejo de su epoca, asi como de la persona que lo creo, y tiene un atractivo estetico universal.Siempre que ha sido posible, se muestran las imagenes en el contexto en el que fueron publicadas, ya sea como ilustraciones en un libro encuadernado o en otros formatos. Algunas de estas publicaciones muestran signos de mucho uso en bibliotecas y estudios de artistas, lo que las hace aun mas evocadoras. La naturaleza predominantemente abstracta del color confiere a estas imagenes una cualidad eterna y universal que conecta ideas cientificas, artisticas y filosoficas expresadas con siglos de diferencia.

From the author of the bestselling The King in the North. The story of the lands between the Forth and Humber from the end of the Roman period to the Viking kingdom of York is one of the most richly fascinating in British history. This the age of Lindisfarne and of Bede; of the dramatic hills, valleys and ancient routeways that link the Irish Sea and the North Sea; of names that resonate even now: Edwin, Oswald, Hild, Cuthbert, Wilfrid; of conquest, conversion and the legacies of intellectual giants. This history of Early Medieval Northumbria explores themes of landscape, power, creativity and intellect. Fresh archaeological evidence and research in historical geography shed light on the fascinating story of how land was managed, exploited and deployed as an expression of power by both secular and ecclesiastical forces, and aspects such as the role of elite women in shaping politics and religion is given new focus. Max Adams and Colm O Brien show conclusively how Northumbrias political, cultural and religious elements coalesced to forge a creative powerhouse which shaped the world we have inherited.
