    Kurzfassung: Mobilizing Science theoretically and empirically explores the rise of a new kind of social movement-one that attempts to empower citizens through the use of expert scientific research. Sabrina McCormick advances theories of social movements, development, and science and technology studies by examining how these fields intersect in cases around the globe. McCormick grounds her argument in two very different case studies: the anti-dam movement in Brazil and the environmental breast cancer prevention movement in the U.S. These, and many other cases, show that the scientization of society, where expert knowledge is inculcated in multiple institutions and lay people are marginalized, gives rise to these new types of movements. While activists who consequently engage in science often instigate new methods that result in new findings and scientific tools, these movements still often fail due to superficial participatory institutions and tightly knit corporate/government relationships.

    Kurzfassung: The Frame Problem in Artificial Intelligence: Proceedings of the 1987 Workshop focuses on the approaches, principles, and concepts related to the frame problem in artificial intelligence (AI). The selection first tackles the definition of the frame problem, circumscription approaches and criticisms, modal logic approaches, and syntactic consistency approaches. The text then takes a look at two frame problems, frame problem in AI, and the frame problem in AI histories, including frame problem defined, mathematical frame problem, commonsense frame problem, and the problems of qualification and extended prediction and their relation to the frame problem. The publication examines tense-logic-based mitigation of the frame problem, unframing the frame problem, a truth maintenance based approach to the frame problem, and qualification problem. Topics include possible worlds, qualification and possible worlds, epistemological issues, truth maintenance, contradiction handling, application of intensional logic, development and implementation of chronolog, and approaches to solving the frame problem. The selection is a dependable source of data for researchers interested in the frame problem.

    Kurzfassung: Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning contains the proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR '94) held in Bonn, Germany, on May 24-27, 1994. The conference provided a forum for reviewing the theory and principles underlying knowledge representation and reasoning. Topics covered range from reasoning about mental states and spatial reasoning with propositional logics to default logic as a query language. Comprised of 60 chapters, this book begins with a description of a formal language for representing and reasoning about time and action before turning to proof in context and how it can replace the most common uses of reflection principles. The reader is then introduced to reasoning with minimal models; belief ascription and mental-level modeling; and a unified framework for class-based representation formalisms. A general approach to specificity in default reasoning is also described, together with an ontology for engineering mathematics and the use of abduction to generate tests. The book concludes by considering the use of natural language for knowledge representation and reasoning. This monograph will be of interest to both students and practitioners in the fields of artificial intelligence and computer science.

    Kurzfassung: Machine Learning: An Artificial Intelligence Approach, Volume III presents a sample of machine learning research representative of the period between 1986 and 1989. The book is organized into six parts. Part One introduces some general issues in the field of machine learning. Part Two presents some new developments in the area of empirical learning methods, such as flexible learning concepts, the Protos learning apprentice system, and the WITT system, which implements a form of conceptual clustering. Part Three gives an account of various analytical learning methods and how analytic learning can be applied to various specific problems. Part Four describes efforts to integrate different learning strategies. These include the UNIMEM system, which empirically discovers similarities among examples; and the DISCIPLE multistrategy system, which is capable of learning with imperfect background knowledge. Part Five provides an overview of research in the area of subsymbolic learning methods. Part Six presents two types of formal approaches to machine learning. The first is an improvement over Mitchell's version space method; the second technique deals with the learning problem faced by a robot in an unfamiliar, deterministic, finite-state environment.

    Kurzfassung: Principles of Semantic Networks: Explorations in the Representation of Knowledge provides information pertinent to the theory and applications of semantic networks. This book deals with issues in knowledge representation, which discusses theoretical topics independent of particular implementations. Organized into three parts encompassing 19 chapters, this book begins with an overview of semantic network structure for representing knowledge as a pattern of interconnected nodes and arcs. This text then analyzes the concepts of subsumption and taxonomy and synthesizes a framework that integrates many previous approaches and goes beyond them to provide an account of abstract and partially defines concepts. Other chapters consider formal analyses, which treat the methods of reasoning with semantic networks and their computational complexity. This book discusses as well encoding linguistic knowledge. The final chapter deals with a formal approach to knowledge representation that builds on ideas originating outside the artificial intelligence literature in research on foundations for programming languages. This book is a valuable resource for mathematicians.

    Kurzfassung: Parallelism and Programming in Classifier Systems deals with the computational properties of the underlying parallel machine, including computational completeness, programming and representation techniques, and efficiency of algorithms. In particular, efficient classifier system implementations of symbolic data structures and reasoning procedures are presented and analyzed in detail. The book shows how classifier systems can be used to implement a set of useful operations for the classification of knowledge in semantic networks. A subset of the KL-ONE language was chosen to demonstrate these operations. Specifically, the system performs the following tasks: (1) given the KL-ONE description of a particular semantic network, the system produces a set of production rules (classifiers) that represent the network; and (2) given the description of a new term, the system determines the proper location of the new term in the existing network. These two parts of the system are described in detail. The implementation reveals certain computational properties of classifier systems, including completeness, operations that are particularly natural and efficient, and those that are quite awkward. The book shows how high-level symbolic structures can be built up from classifier systems, and it demonstrates that the parallelism of classifier systems can be exploited to implement them efficiently. This is significant since classifier systems must construct large sophisticated models and reason about them if they are to be truly ""intelligent."" Parallel organizations are of interest to many areas of computer science, such as hardware specification, programming language design, configuration of networks of separate machines, and artificial intelligence This book concentrates on a particular type of parallel organization and a particular problem in the area of AI, but the principles that are elucidated are applicable in the wider setting of computer science.

    Kurzfassung: Microprocessor Interfacing provides the coverage of the Business and Technician Education Council level NIII unit in Microprocessor Interfacing (syllabus U86/335). Composed of seven chapters, the book explains the foundation in microprocessor interfacing techniques in hardware and software that can be used for problem identification and solving. The book focuses on the 6502, Z80, and 6800/02 microprocessor families. The technique starts with signal conditioning, filtering, and cleaning before the signal can be processed. The signal conversion, from analog to digital or vice versa, is explained to answer why conversion is necessary for the microcomputer or processor. The types of analogue to digital converter, voltage measurements, scaling, and interfacing with ADC to a microcomputer are all taken into account. After the signal has been converted into readable data, the date transfer techniques are described. For data between systems and subsystems to be efficient, the timing, electrical, I/O lines, serial data, and bus structure should be considered. A more detailed explanation of parallel I/O controllers as applied to Z80 PIO and the 6821 PIA follows. For serial I/O controllers, the serial data transfers, speed in baud rate, software routines, and ASCII codes are all examined. Finally, the dedicated I/O controllers involving keyboard encoding, the ASCII (QWERTY) keyboard interface, the visual display unit, cathode ray tube controller devices, and the drive controllers are discussed, as each of these requires one specific application. This book is useful for computer engineers, software engineers, computer technicians, teachers, and instructors in the field of computing learning. This text can also be an informative reading for those have great interest in computer hardware.

    Kurzfassung: Representations of Commonsense Knowledge provides a rich language for expressing commonsense knowledge and inference techniques for carrying out commonsense knowledge. This book provides a survey of the research on commonsense knowledge. Organized into 10 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the basic ideas on artificial intelligence commonsense reasoning. This text then examines the structure of logic, which is roughly analogous to that of a programming language. Other chapters describe how rules of universal validity can be applied to facts known with absolute certainty to deduce other facts known with absolute certainty. This book discusses as well some prominent issues in plausible inference. The final chapter deals with commonsense knowledge about the interrelations and interactions among agents and discusses some issues in human and social interactions that have been studied in the artificial intelligence literature. This book is a valuable resource for students on a graduate course on knowledge representation.

    Kurzfassung: The field of computer vision combines techniques from physics, mathematics, psychology, artificial intelligence, and computer science to examine how machines might construct meaningful descriptions of their surrounding environment. The editors of this volume, prominent researchers and leaders of the SRI International AI Center Perception Group, have selected sixty papers, most published since 1980, with the viewpoint that computer vision is concerned with solving seven basic problems: Reconstructing 3D scenes from 2D images Decomposing images into their component parts Recognizing and assigning labels to scene objects Deducing and describing relations among scene objects Determining the nature of computer architectures that can support the visual function Representing abstractions in the world of computer memory Matching stored descriptions to image representation Each chapter of this volume addresses one of these problems through an introductory discussion, which identifies major ideas and summarizes approaches, and through reprints of key research papers. Two appendices on crucial assumptions in image interpretation and on parallel architectures for vision applications, a glossary of technical terms, and a comprehensive bibliography and index complete the volume.

    Kurzfassung: This is the first comprehensive introduction to computational learning theory. The author's uniform presentation of fundamental results and their applications offers AI researchers a theoretical perspective on the problems they study. The book presents tools for the analysis of probabilistic models of learning, tools that crisply classify what is and is not efficiently learnable. After a general introduction to Valiant's PAC paradigm and the important notion of the Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension, the author explores specific topics such as finite automata and neural networks. The presentation is intended for a broad audience--the author's ability to motivate and pace discussions for beginners has been praised by reviewers. Each chapter contains numerous examples and exercises, as well as a useful summary of important results. An excellent introduction to the area, suitable either for a first course, or as a component in general machine learning and advanced AI courses. Also an important reference for AI researchers.

    Kurzfassung: Tras las andanzas tragicómicas del país que se creía rico se esconden las reflexiones de un autor que desentraña la realidad de la crisis, su carácter natural, el grave riesgo de la decadencia y la fórmula para superarla con éxito. Las recetas económicas para salir a flote son bien conocidas y han sido publicadas hasta la saciedad. Las opiniones políticas, contrapuestas y teñidas del eterno electoralismo, también ocupan páginas y páginas en los medios de comunicación. Pero es fácil intuir que son insuficientes. El secreto para superar la grave situación actual se esconde, como siempre, en el alma del pueblo. Son los miembros de una especie los que la conducen al éxito o al fracaso. Por eso, la solución al problema pasa tanto por las imprescindibles reformas económicas o políticas como por el cambio en la actitud y escala de valores de los ciudadanos. A través de un lenguaje sencillo e irónico, en busca de la máxima divulgación, este libro transmite este concepto con la pretensión de poner un modesto grano de arena en el largo y hermoso camino en pos de la superación, el fin de la decadencia y el triunfo del país. ¡Que así sea...!

    Kurzfassung: Case-based reasoning is one of the fastest growing areas in the field of knowledge-based systems and this book, authored by a leader in the field, is the first comprehensive text on the subject. Case-based reasoning systems are systems that store information about situations in their memory. As new problems arise, similar situations are searched out to help solve these problems. Problems are understood and inferences are made by finding the closest cases in memory, comparing and contrasting the problem with those cases, making inferences based on those comparisons, and asking questions when inferences can't be made. This book presents the state of the art in case-based reasoning. The author synthesizes and analyzes a broad range of approaches, with special emphasis on applying case-based reasoning to complex real-world problem-solving tasks such as medical diagnosis, design, conflict resolution, and planning. The author's approach combines cognitive science and engineering, and is based on analysis of both expert and common-sense tasks. Guidelines for building case-based expert systems are provided, such as how to represent knowledge in cases, how to index cases for accessibility, how to implement retrieval processes for efficiency, and how to adapt old solutions to fit new situations. This book is an excellent text for courses and tutorials on case-based reasoning. It is also a useful resource for computer professionals and cognitive scientists interested in learning more about this fast-growing field.

    Kurzfassung: Classifier systems play a major role in machine learning and knowledge-based systems, and Ross Quinlan's work on ID3 and C4.5 is widely acknowledged to have made some of the most significant contributions to their development. This book is a complete guide to the C4.5 system as implemented in C for the UNIX environment. It contains a comprehensive guide to the system's use , the source code (about 8,800 lines), and implementation notes. C4.5 starts with large sets of cases belonging to known classes. The cases, described by any mixture of nominal and numeric properties, are scrutinized for patterns that allow the classes to be reliably discriminated. These patterns are then expressed as models, in the form of decision trees or sets of if-then rules, that can be used to classify new cases, with emphasis on making the models understandable as well as accurate. The system has been applied successfully to tasks involving tens of thousands of cases described by hundreds of properties. The book starts from simple core learning methods and shows how they can be elaborated and extended to deal with typical problems such as missing data and over hitting. Advantages and disadvantages of the C4.5 approach are discussed and illustrated with several case studies. This book should be of interest to developers of classification-based intelligent systems and to students in machine learning and expert systems courses.

    Kurzfassung: A Many-Sorted Calculus Based on Resolution and Paramodulation emphasizes the utilization of advantages and concepts of many-sorted logic for resolution and paramodulation based automated theorem proving. This book considers some first-order calculus that defines how theorems from given hypotheses by pure syntactic reasoning are obtained, shifting all the semantic and implicit argumentation to the syntactic and explicit level of formal first-order reasoning. This text discusses the efficiency of many-sorted reasoning, formal preliminaries for the RP- and ?RP-calculus, and many-sorted term rewriting and unification. The completeness and soundness of the ?RP-calculus, sort theorem, and automated theorem prover for the ?RP-calculus are also elaborated. This publication is a good source for students and researchers interested in many-sorted calculus.

Discussions focus on reversal, swap, and unclique operators, modal representation of possibility, and beliefs and conditionals. The text then examines structural controllability and observability in influence diagrams, lattice-based graded logic, and dynamic network models for forecasting. The manuscript takes a look at reformulating inference problems through selective conditioning, entropy and belief networks, parallelizing probabilistic inference, and a symbolic approach to reasoning with linguistic quantifiers. The text also ponders on sidestepping the triangulation problem in Bayesian net computations; exploring localization in Bayesian networks for large expert systems; and expressing relational and temporal knowledge in visual probabilistic networks. The selection is a valuable reference for researchers interested in artificial intelligence.

    Kurzfassung: Proceedings of the Fourth International Workshop on Machine Learning provides careful theoretical analyses that make clear contact with traditional problems in machine learning. This book discusses the key role of learning in cognition. Organized into 39 chapters, this book begins with an overview of pattern recognition systems of necessity that incorporate an approximate-matching process to determine the degree of similarity between an unknown input and all stored references. This text then describes the rationale in the Protos system for relegating inductive learning and deductive problem solving to minor roles in support of retaining, indexing and matching exemplars. Other chapters consider the power as well as the appropriateness of exemplar-based representations and their associated acquisition methods. This book discusses as well the extensions to the way a case is classified by a decision tree that address shortcomings. The final chapter deals with the advances in machine learning research. This book is a valuable resource for psychologists, scientists, theorists, and research workers.

    Kurzfassung: Theoretical Aspects of Reasoning About Knowledge contains the proceedings of the Fifth Conference on Theoretical Aspects of Reasoning About Knowledge (TARK 1994) held in Pacific Grove, California, on March 13-16, 1994. The conference provided a forum for discussing the theoretical aspects of reasoning about knowledge and tackled topics ranging from the logic of iterated belief revision and backwards forward induction to information acquisition from multi-agent resources, infinitely epistemic logic, and coherent belief revision in games. Comprised of 23 chapters, this book begins with a review of situation calculus and a solution to the frame problem, along with the use of a regression method for reasoning about the effect of actions. A novel programming language for high-level robotic control is described, along with a knowledge-based framework for belief change. Subsequent chapters deal with consistent belief reasoning in the presence of inconsistency; an epistemic logic of situations; an axiomatic approach to the logical omniscience problem; and an epistemic proof system for parallel processes. Inductive learning, knowledge asymmetries, and convention are also examined. This monograph will be of interest to both students and practitioners in the fields of artificial intelligence and computer science.

    Kurzfassung: 'When I play with my cat, who knows if I am not a pastime to her more than she is to me?' - Michel de Montaigne. Why do we live with pets? Is there something more to our relationship with them than simply companionship? What is it we look for in our pets and what does this say about us as human beings? In this fascinating book, Erica Fudge explores the nature of this most complex of relationships and the difficulties of knowing what it is that one is living with when one chooses to share a home with an animal. Fudge argues that our capacity for compassion and ability to live alongside others is evident in our relationships with our pets, those paradoxical creatures who give us a sense of comfort and security while simultaneously troubling the categories human and animal. For what is a pet if it isn't a fully-fledged member of the human family? This book proposes that by crossing over these boundaries pets help construct who it is we think we are. Drawing on the works of modern writers, such as J. M. Coetzee, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas and Jacques Derrida, Fudge shows how pets have been used to think with and to undermine our easy conceptions of human, animal and home. Indeed, "Pets" shows our obsession with domestic animals that reveals many of the paradoxes, contra - dictions and ambiguities of life. Living with pets provides thought-provoking perspectives on our notions of possession and mastery, mutuality and cohabitation, love and dominance. We might think of pets as simply happy, loved additions to human homes but as this captivating book reveals perhaps it is the pets that make the home and without pets perhaps we might not be the humans we think we are. For anyone who has ever wondered, like Montaigne, what their cat is thinking, it will be illuminating reading.

    Kurzfassung: Mark J.P. Wolf’s study of imaginary worlds theorizes world-building within and across media, including literature, comics, film, radio, television, board games, video games, the Internet, and more. Building Imaginary Worlds departs from prior approaches to imaginary worlds that focused mainly on narrative, medium, or genre, and instead considers imaginary worlds as dynamic entities in and of themselves. Wolf argues that imaginary worlds—which are often transnarrative, transmedial, and transauthorial in nature—are compelling objects of inquiry for Media Studies. Chapters touch on: a theoretical analysis of how world-building extends beyond storytelling, the engagement of the audience, and the way worlds are conceptualized and experienced a history of imaginary worlds that follows their development over three millennia from the fictional islands of Homer’s Odyssey to the present internarrative theory examining how narratives set in the same world can interact and relate to one another an examination of transmedial growth and adaptation, and what happens when worlds make the jump between media an analysis of the transauthorial nature of imaginary worlds, the resulting concentric circles of authorship, and related topics of canonicity, participatory worlds, and subcreation’s relationship with divine Creation Building Imaginary Worlds also provides the scholar of imaginary worlds with a glossary of terms and a detailed timeline that spans three millennia and more than 1,400 imaginary worlds, listing their names, creators, and the works in which they first appeared.

    Kurzfassung: Un recorrido para acabar con ese dañino cliché, tantas y tantas veces repetido, de que España no ha dado grandes pensadores. Ese es el noble fin de Pensadores españoles universales, que hace un repaso a modo de manual de las obras de diez de los pensadores españoles más importantes de los siglos XX y XXI, cuya obra ha transcendido fuera de nuestras fronteras: Gustavo Bueno, Manuel Castells, Adela Cortina, Javier Fernández Aguado, Pedro Laín Entralgo, Julián Marías, José Ortega y Gasset, Miguel de Unamuno, María Zambrano y Xavier Zubiri. Los autores aportan una visión fresca, necesaria y de total actualidad en este listado de imprescindibles. Por un lado, Nuria Ramos repasa y sintetiza la biografía y la obra de cada una de las personalidades que han forjado y que están forjando el pensamiento español y, por su parte, Sergio Casquet relaciona, de forma ligera y amena, su saber con algunas realidades empresariales y económicas de máximo interés. Además, cada capítulo viene acompañado de las frases más importantes que resumen la forma de ver e interpretar el mundo de cada uno de los diez pensadores. Sin duda, Pensadores españoles universales es un bálsamo que nos reconcilia con la grandeza del ser humano y nos hace recapacitar sobre que una sociedad sin pensamiento estaría abocada al atraso y la falta de libertad.

    Kurzfassung: «Aventurar el futuro es una tentación apasionante que nos traslada a un mundo mágico. Me fascina tanto que confieso mi afición a provocar la generación de ideas y casualidades explorando activamente escenarios disruptivos». Los grandes foros sobre prospectiva se limitan a la agenda política y económica global sin apenas considerar la psicología o la sociología. Por eso la Fundación Empresa y Sociedad aspira a impulsar un debate abierto sobre cómo evolucionaremos si situamos a la persona en el centro. Lo hace con la colaboración y las ideas de 28 expertos en tres ámbitos: l Sociedad y tecnología. l Economía y empresa. l Raíces personales. Dentro de 15 años es un libro para los que no se limitan a pensar que todo será una evolución lineal del presente y apuestan por tomar la iniciativa de su existencia en vez de resignarse, quejándose, a las vidas que pretenden construir por ellos unas instituciones inmersas en un profundo proceso de revisión. Con sugerencias como generar alternativas al sector público, el privado y el tercer sector. En un tono optimista y de apuesta por el progreso, porque la historia está llena de pronósticos pesimistas incumplidos.

    Kurzfassung: "¿Por qué tomamos una decisión y no otra? ¿Qué explica que la mayoría de las veces actuemos sin pensar o compremos productos que no deseamos? ¿Cómo nos manipulan los políticos? ¿Qué trucos utilizan los jefes para que hagamos lo que ellos desean y nos sintamos felices? Aquí vas a encontrar todas las respuestas. Neuroeconomía muestra los últimos descubrimientos sobre el cerebro humano, aquellos que explican por qué actuamos de un modo u otro y cómo sacarle partido en la empresa. No solo sirven para saber por qué tomamos una decisión, sino que además nos permiten mejorar los procesos y optimizar los resultados financieros o empresariales e, incluso, influir y manipular las decisiones de los demás para que actúen en nuestro beneficio. Con este libro, avalado por la Asociación Española de Neuroeconomía, descubrirás las diferencias cerebrales entre hombres y mujeres, cómo algunas influencias ambientales -como la luz solar, las tormentas o el ciclo lunar- intervienen en nuestro sistema nervioso y cómo lo hacen más o menos productivo. «En un futuro no muy lejano los grandes gestores estarán formados en la neurociencia de la motivación, de la gestión de las emociones de sus empleados y conocerán mejor por qué el cerebro de los clientes demanda unos productos y destierra otros. Sin duda alguna, aquellos que posean estos conocimientos serán los que mejor lideren las empresas del futuro», dice Pedro Bermejo"

    Kurzfassung: La importancia actual de los recursos tanto energéticos como hídricos no es solo la de unos bienes que debemos dejar a las generaciones venideras, sino la de elementos vitales y estratégicos en el desarrollo humano y territorial, lo que obliga a juzgar seriamente las consecuencias de su mala gestión y aprender de los errores anteriores. El agua en España analiza los claroscuros pasados y presentes para esbozar soluciones desde una mirada integradora, holística y proyectada al futuro. Una planificación continua, al día, con el avance de las nuevas técnicas de obtención de agua potable; la transformación de grandes embalses en lagos -como los que se propone en Entrepeñas y Buendía, en la cuenca del Tajo- estabilizando su lámina de agua y creando con ello nuevos microclimas, con toda su riqueza medioambiental asociada; la desalación; la racionalización del consumo o la reutilización de aguas residuales son algunas de las propuestas del autor en contraposición a las prácticas obsoletas e inmediatistas de suministro de agua -los trasvases intercuencas- aún vigentes en pleno siglo XXI, de devastadores efectos sociales, económicos, territoriales y medioambientales. El lector hallará la voz de un notable intelectual que aborda la problemática hídrica desde prismas que se adelantan a nuestros tiempos. Aunar los últimos avances científicos y técnicos a una conciencia sustentable, cada vez más arraigada en todos los sectores de la Sociedad, constituye el germen de la innovación, del futuro y de la prosperidad.

En definitiva, Comunicar para transformar es un libro que sirve de inspiración y supone el salto definitivo para directivos, responsables de Comunicación Interna, Gestión de Personas o de Recursos Humanos, que día a día necesitan reforzar el compromiso de los colaboradores en la transformación o la integración organizacional.

    Kurzfassung: Hablar en público y hacerlo de forma eficaz no siempre van de la mano. Sin embargo, comunicar con seguridad, originalidad y pasión son claves para captar la atención de la audiencia, destacar como profesionales y lograr nuestro objetivo como emisores. Con el fin de ayudarnos a dejar huella en los demás, Alto y claro nos desvela los diez principios básicos con los que conseguir una presentación cuyo argumento y puesta en escena impacten. Y lo hace no sólo mediante una lectura amena y ágil, sino también a través de numerosos códigos QR que enlazan con vídeos que te enseñan lo que hay y no hay que hacer al enfrentarse a cualquier escenario. Para ello Javier Bernad expone sus técnicas más personales, fruto de su experiencia enseñando a hablar en público a miles de directivos, para aprender a preparar presentaciones de toda temática y extensión, con un único presentador o con varios, con introducción de otra persona o sin ella, en una mesa redonda o sobre un escenario. Además de elaborar una presentación atractiva y coherente, el autor propone un plan de preparación y ensayos para que resulte perfecta, que incluye anticiparse a los imprevistos y saber superar los obstáculos que puedan surgir. La estructura de la presentación, la adaptación del mensaje y de las formas según la audiencia, el manejo del propio cuerpo, el control de la sala y la óptima utilización de las herramientas informáticas son algunas de las claves para captar al público. El libro está estructurado en puntos que permiten seguir un orden lógico sobre los obstáculos con los que se encuentra todo presentador. Pero, además, facilita la consulta puntual de temas concretos que el lector pueda necesitar en un determinado momento. Este libro invita, sobre todo, a que presentador y audiencia se diviertan durante los minutos que comparten, en vez de soportar el soporífero sufrimiento de una ponencia larga y tediosa para todos.

    Kurzfassung: José Mª de Oriol y Urquijo (1905-1985) es uno de los empresarios y políticos más destacados del siglo XX y la cabeza visible durante varias décadas de la familia Oriol. Este libro recorre sus diferentes facetas como ingeniero, académico o banquero pero, sobre todo, destaca su vertiente política y su capacidad emprendedora, ya que despuntó como defensor acérrimo de la iniciativa privada frente a la pública. Asimismo, desde la Presidencia de Hidroeléctrica Española S.A. (hoy Iberdrola) lideró las compañías eléctricas privadas en su lucha para evitar la nacionalización. Como empresario se destaca su importante participación en la historia de la compañía ferroviaria Patentes Talgo, creada por su padre hace más de 70 años y que hoy en día se mantiene en el ámbito familiar siendo además una empresa innovadora y tecnológica de gran prestigio a nivel mundial. En el ámbito político, se pone de relieve su histórica vinculación al carlismo que otorgó a la familia Oriol un peso importante en las instituciones franquistas. Además, describe las responsabilidades de José Mª de Oriol como delegado provincial de FET y de las JONS en Vizcaya (1937), su mandato como alcalde de Bilbao (1939), su labor como procurador en Cortes en el régimen anterior, así como sus prolongados, y fallidos, intentos para conseguir un buen entendimiento entre el conde de Barcelona y el general Franco.

    Kurzfassung: Quizá te encuentres en ese momento de la vida en que piensas «Y ahora, ¿qué?», un momento en que acabas de terminar un capítulo y debes escribir el siguiente. Muchos nos enfrentamos a esta transición en la mediana edad, pero puede ocurrir en cualquier momento. Esta etapa posee un enorme potencial y define toda una nueva fase de la vida; es lo que hemos llamado vida reinventada. Este libro es el mapa que te guiará y te inspirará en esta nueva fase. En él encontrarás guías diseñadas para que afloren tus habilidades especiales, que se complementan con las herramientas y ejercicios en línea disponibles en la página web, desarrollada por la AARP, lifereimagined.org. La vida reinventada te mostrará cómo gente normal ha sido capaz de reinventar su vida de forma extraordinaria. También conocerás de primera mano la historia de los pioneros de este nuevo movimiento, como James Brown o Emilio Estefan, que nos enseñan que este viaje de revelación puede ayudarnos a encontrar la autorrealización en ámbitos que nunca habríamos imaginado. Una de las verdades que subyacen en este libro es la liberadora idea de que cada uno de nosotros es un experimento individual, es decir, cada uno es libre de escoger su propio camino en esta etapa de la vida, pues una vez superados los límites convencionales, ya no valen las viejas reglas ni las normas sociales anticuadas.
