Cuando uno no se puede imaginar cómo era su vida antes de un invento, podemos decir que ha hecho historia. A 5 años del nacimiento de Twitter, proponemos un recorrido por los hechos y números que tuvieron la culpa de que una aplicación muy simple para enviar mensajes vía SMS se transformara en la plataforma mundial de comunicación que es hoy. Contamos cómo es Jack Dorsey, cómo evolucionó la empresa, sus planes para ganar dinero y su situación actual, y cómo Twitter influyó en la sociedad, la comunicación y la política.La sección más extensa intenta contestar dos preguntas que vuelven, aunque quienes lo usemos llevemos tiempo con él: qué es Twitter y cómo usarlo. Porque aunque digamos que todo el mundo tiene que usar Twitter de la forma que quiera y que poner reglas es inútil, siempre sigue interesándonos la forma en que usamos una herramienta que tiene tantas posibilidades.En Ecosistema Twitter, el tercer apartado del libro, recomendamos aplicaciones para escritorio y móvil. También servicios para buscar información, seguir temas y medir resultados en Twitter.Las herramientas son la máquina, pero el alma de Twitter son las personas, ese irrepetible grupo que compone un timeline. El último apartado está dedicado a recomendar a usuarios que son parte de la gran comunidad que tuitea en castellano. En esta edición contamos con el patrocinio de Movistar, quienes nos dieron su apoyo para que esta publicación pueda llegar a todos ustedes gratuitamente y al mínimo precio admitido en Amazon para Kindle.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, will be the world's largest and highest energy and highest intensity particle accelerator. Here is a timely book with several perspectives on the hoped-for discoveries from the LHC. This book provides an overview on the techniques that will be crucial for finding new physics at the LHC, as well as perspectives on the importance and implications of the discoveries. Among the accomplished contributors to this book are leaders and visionaries in the field of particle physics beyond the Standard Model, including two Nobel Laureates (Steven Weinberg and Frank Wilczek), and presumably some future Nobel Laureates, plus top younger theorists and experimenters. With its blend of popular and technical contents, the book will have wide appeal, not only to physical scientists but also to those in related fields. Contents: The LHC -- A Why Machine and a Supersymmetry Factory (G Kane); Dark Matter at the LHC (A Pierce); LHC s ATLAS and CMS Detectors (M Spiropulu & S Stapnes); Understanding the Standard Model, as a Bridge to the Discovery of New Phenomena at the LHC (M L Mangano); Thoughts on a Long Voyage (L Susskind); The "Top Priority" at the LHC (T Han); LHC Discoveries Unfolded (J Lykken & M Spiropulu); From BCS to the LHC (S Weinberg); Searching for Gluinos at the Tevatron and Beyond (J Alwall et al.); Naturally Speaking: The Naturalness Criterion and Physics at the LHC (G F Giudice); Prospects for Higgs Boson Searches at the LHC (K Jakobs & M Schumacher); A Review of Spin Determination at the LHC (L-T Wang & I Yavin); Anticipating a New Golden Age (F Wilczek); Strongly Interacting Electroweak Theories and Their Five-Dimensional Analogs at the LHC (A Pomarol); How to Find a Hidden World at the LHC (J D Wells); B Physics at LHCb (M P Altarelli & F Teubert); The LHC and the Universe at Large (P Binétruy).

Still the largest U.S. military aircraft more than three decades after its first flight, the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy remains an integral part of Air Mobility Command into the 21st century. Lockheed C-5 Galaxy chronicles the development and service career of this behemoth of the airways, starting with the early 1960s requirement for a larger airlifter to supplement the C-141A, through Galaxys troubled early history to the types service during the Nickel Grass, Desert Shield, and other airlift operations. Several Galaxy counterparts, such as the Antonov An-124, are also depicted. Over 140 photographs, nearly all in color and many never before published, show the C-5 and other airlifters in a variety of paint schemes, while detail shots will be of use to the scale modeler.

A History of Progress chronicles the fascinating history of the Audi AG, from its beginnings in Germany in 1909 to its unique place in the market today. This detailed walk through Audi's accomplishments covers all of the company's changes through the years. The entire Audi "family tree" is examined in detail-Wanderer, DKW, Horch, Audi, Auto Union, NSU-with the models built by each manufacturer, their participation in motor sports, and bios of the people who made the company what it is today. You'll learn about the Audi UV of 1934, the Wanderer W21 of 1933, and the Horch 853 and its role in Audi's success in the automotive industry. Enthusiasts can read about the early years and the growth after the company's successful efforts in both marketing and manufacturing, the motorcycles and bicycles that helped in the lean years, the modern all-aluminum show cars, and the new A4 and V8 quattro. You'll see how Audi has built its reputation on motor sports success, from its first win in the International Austrian Alpine Run in 1911, to the spectacular sixteen-cylinder Auto Union racers of the 30s, to motorcycle speed record holders, and the quattro rally and touring car champions of recent years. A History of Progress contains hundreds of rare factory photos and illustrations, presenting Audi's past and present in a hardcover, high quality book. Whether you are an Audi owner, enthusiast or automotive historian, A History of Progress belongs on your bookshelf.
