The Rap Year Book takes readers on a journey that begins in 1979,
widely regarded as the moment rap as a genre became recognised as
part of music's landscape and comes right up to the present. Shea
Serrano deftly pays homage to the most important song of each year.
Serrano also examines the most important moments that surround the
history and culture of rap music-from artists' backgrounds, to
issues of race and safety, to the rise of hip-hop and the struggles
among its major players-both personal and professional. Covering
East Coast and West Coast, famous rapper feuds, chart toppers and
show stoppers, The Rap Year Book takes an in-depth look at the last
thirty-five years of the most influential genre of music to come
out of the last generation. Complete with quizzes, infographics,
lyric maps, hilarious and informative footnotes, portraits of the
artists, and the occasional rebuttal essay by other prominent music
writers, The Rap Year Book is both a narrative and illustrated
guide to some of the most iconic and influential songs ever created
under the umbrella of rap music. Serrano cites a variety of sources
to form his arguments including biographies, magazines and
documentaries, as well as his own experiences growing up at a time
when hip-hop was becoming a prevalent force in the music industry.
With its all-encompassing look at the ups and downs of rap music,
and the landmark songs that are its tent-poles, this book will be
perfect for anyone who is a fan of the genre.
#1 New York Times bestseller Who is the greatest dunker of all
time? Which version of the Michael Jordan was the best Michael
Jordan? What is allowed and absolutely not allowed in a game of
pickup basketball? Basketball (and Other Things) presents readers
with a whole new set of pivotal and ridiculous fan disputes from
basketball history, providing arguments and answers, explained with
the wit and wisdom that is unique to Shea Serrano. Serrano breaks
down debates that NBA fans didn't even know they needed, from the
classic (How many years during his career was Kobe Bryant actually
the best player in the league?) to the fantastical (If you could
assign different values to different shots throughout basketball
history, what would they be and why?). With incredible art from
Arturo Torres, this book is a must-have for anyone who has ever
stayed up late into the night debating basketball's greatest
moments, what-ifs, stories, and legends, or for those who are
discovering the mythology of basketball for the first time.
NOW A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, HIP-HOP (AND OTHER THINGS) is
about, as it were, rap, but also some other things. It's a smart,
fun, funny, insightful book that spends the entirety of its time
celebrating what has become the most dominant form of music over
the past two and a half decades. From Tupac to Jay Z, Missy Elliott
to Drake, you'll find pretty much all of the big names among these
pages - as well as a bunch of the smaller names, too. There's art
from acclaimed illustrator Arturo Torres, there are infographics
and footnotes; there's all kinds of stuff in there. Some of the
chapters are serious, and some of the chapters are silly, and some
of the chapters are a combination of both things. All of them,
though, are treated with the care and respect that they deserve.
A hardcover edition featuring new content for fans of the #1 New

Things) to their collection. The book will feature a new cover and

Serrano’s trademark creativity and Arturo Torres’s inimitable
illustration style. First released as a paperback in 2017, the book
went on to become a #1 New York Times bestseller. This edition will
be a keepsake for Serrano fans and basketball fans alike.

Localization and tracking are key functionalities in ubiquitous
computing systems and techniques. In recent years a very high
variety of approaches, sensors and techniques for indoor and
GPS-denied environments have been developed. This book briefly
summarizes the current state of the art in localization and
tracking in ubiquitous computing systems focusing on cluster-based
schemes. Additionally, existing techniques for measurement
integration, node inclusion/exclusion and cluster head selection
are also described in this book.
La finalidad de la propuesta es mostrar la relacion entre el orden
ambiental y el urbano transitando hacia un proceso de mejora
fundamentado por indicadores y soportes considerados en las normas
de la gestion de la calidad. Se analizara lo referente a la
cohesion entre dos areas de conocimiento operantes dentro del
binomio ciudad-sociedad; la Calidad en su especialidad Ambiental y
el Urbanismo con el fin de generar un contexto sustentable. La
necesidad de recuperar la ciudad hacia el mejoramiento de la
coexistencia y el respeto a la biodiversidad, mediante los enfoques
metodologicos de la gestion de la calidad medioambiental
direccionados hacia la calidad de vida, nos permitiran aplicar los
programas de ordenamiento urbano mediante la inclusion de
politicas, actividades e impactos ambientales organizados en un
normatividad de certificacion conformada por manuales e
instructivos de operacion. A traves de la formacion de las ciudades
y sus procesos de urbanizacion, la planeacion del ordenamiento
urbano del territorio amalgamada por el analisis y evaluacion de la
calidad medioambiental es fundamental para el desarrollo economico,
social y ambiental de las areas urbanas."
