La investigación constituye una tarea necesaria en la intervención y práctica en el ámbito de la educación, fundamentalmente se orienta a la búsqueda de alternativas, la comprensión de hechos y situaciones desde su complejidad, la consecución de soluciones, la transformación y el cambio. Por ello, investigar no puede concebirse como una tarea ajena que asuman solo los especialistas; investigar la realidad socioeducativa o pedagógica es la vía de innovación y mejora de la práctica profesional; pero en los procesos de investigación la estadística da rigor científico a las conclusiones obtenidas con datos recopilados. Los medios tecnológicos vigentes permiten un trabajo liviano para el investigador, pero a su vez riguroso y profundo. En este contexto el programa estadístico-informático R toma un papel destacado por su facilidad y libertad de uso, sin ninguna atadura a empresas comercializadoras de software y con una presencia relevante en las universidades y centros de investigación de todo el mundo. El texto que se presenta aborda, con la ayuda del programa R, en cinco temas, las tareas fundamentales que afronta cualquier investigador en el ámbito de las ciencias sociales. En primer lugar, se fijan los rudimentos del programa R en el entorno de trabajo RCommander; después se habla de la organización y manipulación de los datos; más tarde de la representación de la información. Con estos tres temas se cubren los aspectos descriptivos básicos del análisis de datos. En el tema cuatro se trata las relaciones entre variables. Finalmente, el quinto tema se adentra en el tratamiento de datos textuales. La visión del texto es eminentemente práctica, con algunas formulaciones matemáticas de ayuda. Además, todos los capítulos están ilustrados con ejemplos relacionados con las ciencias sociales.

John Chambers turns his attention to R, the enormously successful open-source system based on the S language. His book guides the reader through programming with R, beginning with simple interactive use and progressing by gradual stages, starting with simple functions. More advanced programming techniques can be added as needed, allowing users to grow into software contributors, benefiting their careers and the community. R packages provide a powerful mechanism for contributions to be organized and communicated. This is the only advanced programming book on R, written by the author of the S language from which R evolved.

Little did Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and other ‘gentlemen scientists’ know, when they were making their scientific discoveries, that some centuries later they would inspire a new field of scientific practice and innovation, called citizen science. The current growth and availability of citizen science projects and relevant applications to support citizen involvement is massive; every citizen has an opportunity to become a scientist and contribute to a scientific discipline, without having any professional qualifications. With geographic interfaces being the common approach to support collection, analysis and dissemination of data contributed by participants, ‘geographic citizen science’ is being approached from different angles. Geographic Citizen Science Design takes an anthropological and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) stance to provide the theoretical and methodological foundations to support the design, development and evaluation of citizen science projects and their user-friendly applications. Through a careful selection of case studies in the urban and non-urban contexts of the Global North and South, the chapters provide insights into the design and interaction barriers, as well as on the lessons learned from the engagement of a diverse set of participants; for example, literate and non-literate people with a range of technical skills, and with different cultural backgrounds. Looking at the field through the lenses of specific case studies, the book captures the current state of the art in research and development of geographic citizen science and provides critical insight to inform technological innovation and future research in this area.

The Stylistique comparée du français et de l'anglais has become a standard text in the French-speaking world for the study of comparative stylistics and the training of translators. This updated, first English edition makes Vinay & Darbelnet's classic methodology of translation available to a wider readership. The translation-oriented contrastive grammatical and stylistic analyses of the two languages are extensively exemplified by expressions, phrases and texts. Combining description with methodological guidelines for translation, this volume serves both as a course book and ­ through its detailed index and glossary ­ as a reference manual for specific translation problems.
