All stories attempt to soften the truth. All the truths aim to be history. The facts dream of being just words that are diluted in the oblivion of time. It will be seen in this case that the truth claims to be history but only in the imagination. What I come to tell you happened in a land of peace where life was an indefinite article. In that place the seeds did well, the green stretched in gentle landscapes, the rice paddies ripened in time, the trees gained height, dry and raining seasons flowed in perfect synchronization; the rain poured …

This book addresses the steel structures design according to procedures and provisions set in the Spanish Building Technical Code (CTE DB-SE-A). A large collection of worked examples develop in a practical way the principles and requirements that will provide safety and serviceability to most of the steel structures for buildings Members under tension, compression and bending are studied in order of increasing complexity, including flexural buckling and lateral-torsional buckling phenomena. Finally, step by step procedures for the design of bolted and welded connections are given, including column bases design All tables and mathematical expressions needed to follow every step of …
Infrastructures and buildings are built on a material that is heterogeneous in nature and whose properties are imposed by its origin: the ground. Soil or rock, the ground plays an important role in the cost and viability of any infrastructures and buildings during both their construction and their operation. Thus, knowing the ground and properly characterizing it, stands essential. This Book deals with the geotechnical engineering techniques and methods used to carry out a useful and successful study of the ground. Beginning by laying the foundations for a good geotechnical planning, which must be supported on the use of appropriate …
"The gestation process of the most spectacular technical and human drama in Chilean mining history lacked a book like this. Buried, as the 33 miners, were the detailed events of this amazing saga.

Walter Véliz and Felipe Matthews have written an exciting thriller about the most watched mine rescue in history, unknown to many in the details that the authors reveal. In these pages the debt of information from news reports on the Rescue of the 33 is settled, …

This book contains the summaries of the "Innovations in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives" that took place in Salamanca (Spain) in September 2018. The early science of chemistry and microbiology were the source of most drugs until the revolution of genetic engineering in the mid 1970s. Then biotechnology made available novel protein agents such as interferons, blood factors and monoclonal antibodies that have changed the modern pharmacy. Over the past year, a new pharmacy of oligonucleotides has emerged from the science of gene expression such as RNA splicing and RNA interference. The ability to design therapeutic agents from genomic sequences will …
During my last year before retirement as an agricultural engineer, the idea to travel Europe popped into my mind. The more I thought about it, the bigger the plan grew and in more detail. One month after retirement, I was in London, looking around for an adventure bike to buy, and did just that within a week. The same day, I left for France and this wonderful adventure started. I had a rough plan with only the different countries in sequence, with no bookings in advance except a visa for Ukraine and obviously for Europe. My idea of exploring a …
