![]() ![]() Author: Medina Alejandro, Curto-risso Pedro Luis, Hernández Antonio Calvo, Guzmán-vargas Lev, Angulo-brown Fernando Publisher: Springer Verlag Based on the simulations developed in research groups over the past years, Introduction to Quasi-dimensional Simulation of Spark Ignition Engines provides a compilation of the main ingredients necessary to build up a quasi-dimensional computer simulation scheme. Quasi-dimensional computer simulation of spark ignition engines is a powerful but affordable tool which obtains realistic estimations of a wide variety of variables for a simulated engine keeping insight the basic physical and chemical processes involved in the real evolution of an automotive engine. With low computational costs, it can optimize the design and operation of spark ignition engines as well as it allows to analyze cycle-to-cycle fluctuations. Including details about the structure of a complete simulation scheme, information about what kind of information can be obtained, and comparisons of the simulation results with experiments, Introduction to Quasi-dimensional Simulation of Spark Ignition Engines offers a thorough guide of this technique. Advanced undergraduates and postgraduates as well as researchers in government and industry in all areas related to applied physics and mechanical and automotive engineering can apply these tools to simulate cyclic variability, potentially leading to new design and control alternatives for lowering emissions and expanding the actual operation limits of spark ignition engines € 140,30

![]() ![]() Author: Vargas Llosa Mario, Grossman Edith (TRN) Publisher: Picador USA A painstakingly researched and lively novel about a neglected human rights pioneer by the Nobel Laureate Mario Vargas Llosa In 1916, the Irish nationalist Roger Casement was hanged by the British government for treason. Casement had dedicated his life to improving the plight of oppressed peoples around the world. But when he dared to draw a parallel between the injustices he witnessed in African and American colonies and those committed by the British in Northern Ireland, he became involved in a cause that led to his imprisonment and execution. Ultimately, the scandals surrounding Casement’s trial and eventual hanging marred his image to such a degree that his pioneering human rights work wasn’t fully reexamined until the 1960s. Dream of the Celt is a fascinating fictional account of an extraordinary man in the original and dynamic style of Nobel Laureate Mario Vargas Llosa. Translated from the Spanish by Edith Grossman € 16,10

![]() ![]() Author: Llosa Alvaro Vargas Publisher: Independent Inst The recent reawakening of the debate about migration in the new millennium has evoked intense emotion, particularly in the United States and Europe, and Global Crossings cuts through the jungle of myth, falsehood, and misrepresentation that dominates the debate, clarifying the causes and consequences of human migration. The book first looks at the immigrant experience, which connects the present to the past, and America to the rest of the world, and explores who immigrants are and why they move. It contends that the conduct of today is no different than that in the past, and contrary to the claims by immigration critics, the patterns of contemporary migration do not differ fundamentally from those of other epochs. The book then discusses immigration and culture and tackles assimilation, globalization, and cultural differences. In assessing whether critics are justified in pointing to a major cultural shift, award-winning author Alvaro Vargas Llosa reviews such topics as religion, education, entrepreneurial spirit, and attitudes toward the receiving society, and analyzes economic factors that include jobs, wages, education, and the welfare state. The book concludes that immigration’s contributions to an economy far outweigh the costs, and it makes a call for open minds and provides a pro-immigration agenda for reform. € 24,10

![]() ![]() Author: Vargas Llosa Mario Publisher: Einaudi La banalizzazione dell'arte e della letteratura, il successo del giornalismo scandalistico e la frivolezza della politica sono i sintomi di un male maggiore che ha colpito la società contemporanea: l'idea temeraria di convertire in bene supremo la nostra naturale propensione al divertimento. In passato, la cultura era stata una specie di coscienza che impediva di ignorare la realtà. Ora, invece, agisce come meccanismo di intrattenimento, persino di distrazione. Inoltre, gli intellettuali sono scomparsi e anche se alcuni di loro firmano sporadici manifesti e prendono posizione su eventi e persone di fatto non esiste più un vero e proprio dibattito. Il Premio Nobel per la Letteratura, in questa durissima radiografia del nostro tempo, riflette sulla metamorfosi che la cultura ha subito in questi anni, nell'inquietante remissività generale, e invita gli scrittori 'a coniugare la comunicazione col rigore, l'originalità e l'impegno creativo, per costruire nuove forme d'arte' e poter salvare, cosi, la cultura. € 17,00

![]() ![]() Author: Vargas Rinaldo O.; D'Alterio Eugenia Publisher: Mimesis La medicina, tramontati gli assolutismi che ne hanno accreditato l'esercizio, è passibile di essere interpretata da vari punti di vista, in funzione dei modelli cognitivi e delle visioni del mondo dei diversi gruppi culturali in cui la popolazione di riferimento può essere mappata. In questa costellazione culturale, si vuole dar voce ad una visione decostruzionista della medicina: la medicina come convenzione sociale. Da questa prospettiva, qualunque scuola di pensiero o forma ne venga praticata, la medicina rimane un'espressione dei modelli cognitivi, dei concetti e dei valori in cui i gruppi culturali, che la praticano e se ne servono, si riconoscono. In questo orientamento, ogni prassi medica è convenzionale, dà soluzioni, più o meno soddisfacenti, ai bisogni dei gruppi di riferimento e costituisce, in sostanza, un consenso sociale circa i presupposti impliciti nelle concezioni, attributive, relative all'ideale culturale di uomo e di modello di realtà con il quale i gruppi sociali di riferimento si identificano. € 12,00

È proprietario di una ditta di trasporti, ha una moglie, due figli, e una giovane amante di nome Mabel: ha faticato troppo per lasciare che adesso qualcuno gli porti via tutto e, più di ogni altra cosa, a spaventarlo non sono certo i ricatti, ma il disonore. A Lima, intanto, Rigoberto, a un passo dalla pensione, viene chiamato a fare da testimone a Ismael, il suo datore di lavoro che sposerà in gran segreto la domestica Armida, per impedire che il suo patrimonio venga dilapidato dai figli. Al ritorno dal viaggio di nozze, però, Ismael muore e Armida, spaventata dalle pressioni degli eredi, scappa a Piura, dalla sorella. Sta a Rigoberto mantenere la promessa fatta da testimone e sistemare la faccenda. € 21,00
