El Arte de la Guerra: de la Sabiduria Oriental a la Excelencia Occidental

Product Description

Esta obra es importante no porque sus reflexiones sean una invitacion a practicar la guerra, sino porque para Sun Tzu la guerra es algo mas que la simple fuerza bruta y la irracionalidad de la destruccion. Se trata del arte de evitar los conflictos; requiere de una sabiduria mayor, pero sobre todo, exige de nuestra parte una gran sensibilidad para detectar cuales son las exigencias que nos demanda la armonia universal.

Lecciones vitales.......2006-03-20

El texto contiene la versión original de las reglas que el general Sun-Tzu escribió hace mas de dos mil años.

Contiene una versión comentada de todas las reglas que facilita su lectura, lo cual facilita mucho su lectura y comprensión al explicar el contexto en el que fueron escritas

El reducido tamaño de bolsillo lo hace ideal para una lectura rápida

Sin embargo, quizás es demasiado generalista; se echa de menos un análisis mas profundo que permita sacas mas conclusiones al lector

Para los que viven en guerra.......2001-07-03

a pesar de que este libro tenga milemios de antiguedad su palabra es aun vigente, y valida para aquellas personas que viven una guerra constante, asi sea en sus trabajos o en sus vidas y estan tan acostumbrada a ellas que no las pueden dejar. Las palabras del libro son sabias para aquellas personas que no les gusta perder y siempre tienen una meta fija.

Book Description

The Jews in Late Ancient Rome focusses on the Jewish community in third and fourth century Rome, and in particular on how this community related to the larger non-Jewish world that surrounded it. The book's point of departure is a refutation of the disputable thesis that Roman Jews lived in complete isolation. The book examines Jewish archaeological remains and Jewish funerary inscriptions from Rome from various angles, and compares them with Pagan and early Christian material and epigraphical remains. In the last part the author concentrates on an enigmatic legal treatise entitled the Collatio, identifying its author and exploring the implications of this identification. This study proposes a new way in which the relationship between Jews and non-Jews in late antiquity can be studied.

Book Description

How do our brains allow us to recognize objects and locate them accurately in space, use mental imagery to remember yesterday's breakfast, read, understand speech, learn to dance, and recall a new telephone number? Recent breakthroughs in brain scanning and computing techniques have allowed researchers to plumb the secrets of the healthy brain's operation; simultaneously, much new information has been learned about the nature and causes of neuropsychological deficits in animals and humans following various sorts of brain damage in different locations. In this first comprehensive, integrated, and accessible overview of recent insights into how the brain gives rise to mental activity, the authors explain the fundamental concepts behind and the key discoveries that draw on neural network computer models, brain scans, and behavioral studies. Drawing on this analysis, the authors also present an intriguing theory of consciousness. In addition, this paperback edition contains an epilogue in which the authors discuss the latest research on emotion and cognition and present new information on working memory.

Computer Vision makes possible Language .......2007-01-13

Five principles of Neural networks: 1. Division of labor. Because connections between input and outputs can interfere with each other, it is more efficient to have separate networks perform different mappings. 2. Weak modularity: Individual neural networks are not independent, discrete "module" within a larger system. One can analyze the black box of the neural network and figure out how it performed a particular task. The task is decided in advanced by someone who defines that task and completes the input/output mapping. Networks are great at generalizing but every task cannot be known. We learn about the implications of a theory by watching the way a model behaves. The extent the model can match the pattern of an organism response to stimuli the more serious we take the model. The logical exercise is to analyze which processing subsystem produces a specific behavior. 3. Functional relationship between subsystems. "We assume that a group of networks may work to compute complex input/output mappings, and so a processing subsystem may have an internal structure. In some case, the same subsystem may be a member of more than one processing subsystem." Some parts of the brain are like letters in a crossword puzzle, serving as components of more than one word and imply a break down in modularity. However, a network input/outputs works to compute one function. 4. Localization in the brain: Critical members of the network are localized to a specific area of the brain. However, not all neurons that sub serve a given computation needs to be in the same place. 5. Constraint Satification: The brain seems to use different sorts of information simultaneously and meet constraints, at the same time.

Visual Perception: A visual stimulus based on the eye shifting brings the image into the attention window of the visual buffer. The attention window selects some region of the visual buffer for detailed processing. The pattern is sent to two subsystems: the ventral system and the dorsal system. The ventral system runs from the occipital lobe down to the inferior temporal lobe; the ventral system encodes information about key properties of shapes, colors, and textures. The dorsal system runs from the occipital lobe up to the parietal lobes; the dorsal system encode information about special relationships, guide movement, and special properities. The preprocessing subsystem extracts nonaccidental properties, such as, symmetrical edges, parallel lines, and point at the front and perceptual units, such as regions of the same color or blotches that have been proven distinctive in the past; hypothesis testing cycle is repeated until enough information has been encoded to implicate a particular object in associative memory.
The outputs of the dorsal and ventral come together at the associative memory; associative memory pattern matches and gives meaning, a name, a category, and feeling about the object; the associative memory pattern match is a process of forming a hypothesis, verifying the hypothesis, and correcting and retrying again, if wrong; associative memory matches will not be exact. The associative memory causes an attention shift where the informative part from the lookup should exist; for example, patterns of eye movements observed when a person studied a picture of a person face suggest, the brain was using key lookup information to make identification; the attention shift moves the eye to key part locations for attention.
