Son pocos los testimonios escritos que nos han legado las culturas ibérica y celtibérica, cuyas lenguas, por tanto, solo conocemos de forma muy parcial. Un número amplio de esos textos, que constituyen los mas antiguos ejemplos de escritura hallados en buena parte de la peninsula iberica, se recopilan en este libro, que incluye catalogos completos de tres tipos epigraficos concretos: las inscripciones sobre piedra, las estampillas y las teseras de hospitalidad. Para afrontar la interpretacion de tan complejos y elusivos documentos, la obra privilegia el estudio de los soportes (tipologia, iconografia, etc.), perspectiva un tanto minusvalorada por la investigacion previa. Los resultados de tal enfoque se suman a los avances de la linguistica y de otras disciplinas historia antigua, epigrafia, arqueologia, etc. que convergen en el interes que despiertan estas inscripciones, asociadas a diferentes practicas sociales (la hospitalidad, la autorrepresentacion de las elites, etc.) de unas comunidades en el umbral de la historia, profundamente afectadas por la conquista de Roma, que, tambien en el ambito de la lengua, la escritura y la expresion epigrafica, tuvo enormes repercusiones

The Chance Vought F7U Cutlass was ahead of its time In 1948 when it first flew it could hardly have been more exotic or state of the art a tail less fighter to be powered by two afterburning jet engines It was not only to be carrier based but also climb quicker and be faster than the Air Force s new swept wing North American F 86 Sabre Developmental problems resulted in it taking too long to reach operational squadrons which partly accounts for its relatively unsuccessful career The Cutlass was designed too soon to benefit from the discovery of the area rule which doomed it to transonic performance in level flight Similarly its lack of a horizontal tail was intended in part to address the transonic pitch control difficulties being encountered at the time but they proved to be avoidable with one Unfortunately no horizontal tail resulted in it not only being radical in appearance but also having challenging handling qualities at approach speed The F7U 3 s service introduction was also accomplished before the Navy perfected a rigorous process for transitioning pilots to new airplanes particularly important in the case of the Cutlass and its unusual handling qualities one of which resulted in a rare aeronautical phenomenon the post stall gyration It was

Os estudios sobre xenealoxía e heráldica, tras décadas de moi escasa consideración e proxección, coñecen actualmente, e así sucede desde hai xa algún tempo, unha etapa de particular brillantez. Este libro non pode desligarse dese ambiente de eclosion. E importante polo que supon en si mesmo como polas portas que abre. Polo que supon en si mesmo, ante todo: ofrece a mais nutrida recompilacion de debuxos de escudos galegos reunida ata o de agora (2.142 no indice final e algo mais de 1.000 complementando o texto, alcanzando a suma dos dous conceptos un total de 3.237 entradas), dato que, sen mais consideracions, convirte a este libro no mellor documentado/ilustrado sobre o tema en Galicia, sendo, por iso, un referente de imprescindible consulta. Resulta clave tamen polas vias que abre. Tratase -e non e pouco- do primeiro gran manual de heraldica galega e en galego. Existen, en efecto, outros e moi destacados libros de heraldica galega. Ningun, sen embargo,esta concebido para servir de guia ou introductor, pretension orientadora que esta presente nesta obra desdeas suas primeiras liñas. Desbordante na informacion recollida e preciso, moi concreto e rigoroso, a vez, no dato puntual, este libro sera desde hoxe, con seguridade, unha ferramenta de axuda inestimable para quen aspire a introducirse no apaixoante mundo das armerias das linaxes galegas de orixe e adopcion.
