In 1969 an iconic image of a mysterious female and the backdrop of
an alien moon popped up on America's newsstands and forever became
the fantasy of millions of young adult males Dynamite Entertainment
is celebrating these classic images of the original Vampirella
series by presenting fans with The Art of Vampirella: The Warren
Covers, which features every image to grace the cover of the
Vampirella magazine from issue #1 through #112 and the 1972 Annual.
Showcased in their purest form, every image presented in this
volume will be without logos and cover type. This is the first time
anywhere that fans can see how the original works of art looked
before any design elements were placed over them. Featuring the art
of Frank Frazetta, Sanjulian, Enrich, and Ken Kelly, along with
photo covers of the beautiful Barbara Leigh in the alluring guise
of Vampirella, this is sure to be one of the hottest collectibles
in Vampirella history
Working with Underachieving Students in Higher Education: Fostering
Inclusion through Narration and Reflexivity presents an
international and interdisciplinary approach to the study of the
relationships between narrative devices and reflexivity in higher
education. Stemming from a collaborative European research project
called INSTALL (Innovative Solutions to Acquire Learning to Learn),
it focuses on an innovative model aimed at promoting personal
resources and reflective competencies in non-traditional,
disadvantaged and underachieving students. The book is divided into
three parts, with the first providing an exploration of the key
theoretical issues that formed the basis of the theoretical and
methodological approaches in the INSTALL Project. The second part
presents an innovative narrative methodology and discusses the most
significant phases of the training process and of the main
products. The third and last part provides a broad discussion of
higher education policies and of the need to encourage innovation
and reforms to improve the academic inclusion of underachieving
students. Chapters in the collection examine interventions in
Italy, Romania, Ireland and Spain, using a broad transnational,
intercultural and comparative approach, to consider narrative tools
using four channels: metaphoric, iconographic, writing, and the
body. This book provides theoretical insights and practical
methodologies which can be used to enhance quality teaching and
innovation, as well as to help adapt to diversity in higher
education. It will, therefore, be of key interest to academics,
researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of higher
education; sociology of education; education policy and politics;
cultural and developmental psychology; and narrative research, as
well as to those studying counselling, mentoring and coaching
Finally, the legend of Vampirella can be told... from her very
beginning! The Essential Warren Years collects the complete story
of Vampirella, the raven-haired heroine and beloved horror hostess!
Starting with her first appearance in "Vampirella of Drakulon" by
Forrest J. Ackerman and Tom Sutton, and spanning each and every
fear-fraught issue from the first five years of Vampirella
Magazine, this massive tome not only introduces one of the most
iconic characters in horror comic history, but her hypnotic
supporting cast: the Conjuress, Pendragon, Adam Van Helsing, the
Cult of Chaos, and the undead lord Dracula! Featuring the creative
talents of Archie Goodwin, Jose Gonzalez, Steve Englehart, Gonzalo
Mayo, and more!

The book reports on advanced topics in the areas of wearable
robotics research and practice. It focuses on new technologies,
including neural interfaces, soft wearable robots, sensors and
actuators technologies, and discusses important regulatory
challenges, as well as clinical and ethical issues. Based on the
2nd International Symposium on Wearable Robotics, WeRob2016, held
October 18-21, 2016, in Segovia, Spain, the book addresses a large
audience of academics and professionals working in government,
industry, and medical centers, and end-users alike. It provides
them with specialized information and with a source of inspiration
for new ideas and collaborations. It discusses exemplary case
studies highlighting practical challenges related to the
implementation of wearable robots in a number of fields. One of the
focus is on clinical applications, which was encouraged by the
colocation of WeRob2016 with the International Conference on
Neurorehabilitation, INCR2016. Additional topics include space
applications and assistive technologies in the industry. The book
merges together the engineering, medical, ethical and political
perspectives, thus offering a multidisciplinary, timely snapshot of
the field of wearable technologies.
For nearly two decades, Jose "Pepe" Gonzalez was hailed as the
premier Vampirella artist, drawing the fiery vixen for Warren
Publishing in the Seventies and Eighties. Renowned for bringing to
life the most beautiful women the art world has ever seen,
Gonzalez's career spans from drawing British romance comics to
movie stars, book covers to commercial advertising, and, of course,
personal commissions for loved ones and devotees. For the first
time ever, author David Roach covers Jose's entire career,
transcending his vast body of Vampirella work to explore the full
breadth of the master's creations. Vampirella collectors and Jose
Gonzalez fans rejoice, for the life-spanning retrospective you've
been waiting for has finally arrived! Featuring an introduction by
fan-favorite painter Joe Jusko.

This book reports on the latest technological and clinical advances
in the field of neurorehabilitation. It is, however, much more than
a conventional survey of the state-of-the-art in
neurorehabilitation technologies and therapies. It was written on
the basis of a week of lively discussions between PhD students and
leading research experts during the Summer School on
Neurorehabilitation (SSNR2014), held September 15-19 in Baiona,
Spain. Its unconventional format makes it a perfect guide for all
PhD students, researchers and professionals interested in gaining a
multidisciplinary perspective on current and future
neurorehabilitation scenarios. The book addresses various aspects
of neurorehabilitation research and practice, including a selection
of common impairments affecting CNS function, such as stroke and
spinal cord injury, as well as cutting-edge rehabilitation and
diagnostics technologies, including robotics, neuroprosthetics,
brain-machine interfaces and neuromodulation.

This book originated from a course given at the Univcrsidad
Aut6noma of Madrid in the Spring of 1994 and in the Universidad
Complutense of Madrid in 1995. The goal of these courses is to give
the non-specialist an introduction to some old and new ideas in the
field of strongly correlated systems, in particular the problems
posed by the high-1 superconducting materials. As theoretical
physicists, our starting viewpoint to address the problem of
strongly correlat ed ferlnion systems and related issues of modern
condensed matter physics .is the renormalization group approach
applied both to quantU111 field theory and statistical physics. In
recent years this has become not only a powerful tool for
retrieving the essential physics of interacting systems but also a
link between theoretical physics and modern condensed matter
physics. Furthermore, once we have this common background for
dealing with apparently different prob lems, we discuss more
specific topics and even phenomenological aspects of the field. In
doing so we have tried to make the exposition clear and simple,
with out entering into technical details but focusing ill the
fundamental physics of the phenomena under study. Therefore, ve
expect that our experience ll1ay have some value to other people
entering this fascinating field. We have divided these notes into
three parts and each part into chapters, which correspond roughly
to one or two lectures. Part I, Chaps. 1-2 (A. H. V."

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Blockchain and RPA
Forum, held as part of the 19th International Conference on
Business Process Management, BPM 2021, which took place during
September 6-10, 2021, in Rome, Italy.The Blockchain Forum and the
RPA Forum have in common that they are centered around an emerging
and exciting technology. The blockchain is a sophisticated
distributed ledger technology, while RPA software allows for
mimicking human, repetitive actions. Each of these have the
potential to fundamentally change how business processes are being
orchestrated and executed in practice. The 8 papers presented in
this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 14
submissions.
