DOWNLOAD EBOOKAfrica is a source of amazing bio-diversity and home to some of the planet's most spectacular landscapes. The sights of this awe-inspiring continent are captured with consummate skill and sensitivity by master lensman Michael Poliza.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK'Les arts primordiaux', as the author himself defines them, have been the cornerstone and passion of his life. And everything about his daily life expresses just this: the shelves overflowing with books and catalogues on extra-European art, the statues, the masks, and the way all this material is piled up in no particular order, blocking our view in every direction and preventing us from seeing any sort of background in the rooms. There is no doubting what makes Pierre Dartevelle get up in the morning. He has devoted fifty years to getting African art's status recognized in Brussels, where in 1967 he opened a gallery in impasse Saint Jacques at the Grand Sablon, which soon achieved international renown. A lawyer by training and a great traveler by inclination, he abandoned law to give free course to his personal passion, in the footsteps of his father, Edmond Dartevelle, an explorer in his own right and scientist, whose finds in the Congo built the collection of the Musée d'Afrique centrale, in Tervuren. Viewed today by his followers and peers as an 'icon', Pierre Dartevelle has always taken an active interest in preserving the artistic and ancestral heritage of Africa. He has built or expanded some of the most important private and public collections of tribal art known to this day, such as the Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac (Paris) and the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe recent exhibitions dedicated to Botticelli around the world show, more than ever, the significant and continued debate about the artist. Botticelli Past and Present engages with this debate. The book comprises four thematic parts, spanning four centuries of Botticelli’s artistic fame and reception from the fifteenth century. Each part comprises a number of essays and includes a short introduction which positions them within the wider scholarly literature on Botticelli. The parts are organised chronologically beginning with discussion of the artist and his working practice in his own time, moving onto the progressive rediscovery of his work from the late eighteenth to the turn of the twentieth century, through to his enduring impact on contemporary art and design. Expertly written by researchers and eminent art historians and richly illustrated throughout, the broad range of essays in this book make a valuable contribution to Botticelli studies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnique book addressing cooperative algorithms at the MAC layer Cooperative Communications: MAC Protocols focuses on issues pertaining to the MAC layer of wireless cooperative communication networks, offering a rigorous taxonomy of this dispersed field, along with a range of application scenarios for cooperative and distributed schemes to show how these techniques can be employed. The authors provide rigorous analytical tools for reservation and contention based MACs, as well as hybrids. This is complemented by an application of developed techniques to specific wireless standards. There is currently no book on the market which coherently discusses cooperative algorithms at the MAC layer. Introduces background, concepts, applications, milestones and thorough taxonomy of the field, along with a range of application scenarios Identifies the potential in this emerging technology applied to e.g. LTE/WiMAX, WSN Explores reservation-based, contention-based and hybrid cooperative MAC protocols, and applies rigorous mathematical tools to these Demonstrates cross-layer design to boost performance Addresses advanced MAC topics, such as opportunistic and network coded MACs Highlights future research challenges within the cooperative communications Includes an accompanying website ( http://books.cttc.es )
