Jo is spending the summer at her family's beach house, working as a busgirl and bonding with the older, cooler girls she'll see at high school come September. She didn't count on a brief fling with a cute boy changing her entire summer. Or feeling embarrassed by her middle school friends. And she didn't count on her family at all. . . Ama is not an outdoorsy girl. She wanted to be at an academic camp, doing research in an air-conditioned library, earning A's. Instead her summer scholarship lands her on a wilderness trip full of flirting teenagers, blisters, impossible hiking trails, and a sad lack of hair products. It is a new summer. And a new sisterhood. Come grow with them.

3 de julio de 1898. El fin del imperio español
by Tomás Pérez VejoUna colección única que cuenta nuestro largo siglo xx en siete libros para siete fechas clave. No todos los días son iguales. Solemos abordar la historia a partir de arcos de tiempo dilatados. Pero ¿qué sucede si, por una vez, centramos la atención en los instantes concretos que más han marcado nuestro pasado colectivo? Los protagonistas, sus acciones, sus emociones, sus deseos, sus dudas y sus errores pasan al centro del relato, irrumpen con la fuerza de la imprevisibilidad, y los revivimos como si fuera la primera vez. En esta novedosa colección, algunos de los mejores historiadores nos muestran que nada puede darse por sentado, y cómo ciertos acontecimientos pueden dejar un rastro profundo en un país. El 3 de julio de 1898, la breve y desastrosa batalla de Santiago (343 muertos, 151 heridos, 1.889 prisioneros y 6 barcos embarrancados o hundidos del lado español; un muerto, dosheridos y ningún barco hundido del estadounidense) certificó la derrota española en la guerra de Cuba, marcó el fin del Imperio español y hundió al país en una crisis que definiría el siglo XX. El Desastre del 98, como demuestra el profesor Pérez Vejo en este iluminador libro, es más una idea que una fecha, y permite tantas lecturas que no es exagerado afirmar que en él se encierran casi todas las claves de la historia contemporánea de España. La crítica ha dicho sobre la colección:«Una serie para tener muy en cuenta.» Manuel Rodríguez Rivero, Babelia, El País «Una historia en la que los protagonistas son las personas, los individuos y no tanto la abrumadora y fría erudición de los hechos y los datos.»Fernando Prieto Arellano, La Vanguardia
3 x Carlin: An Orgy of George including Brain Droppings, Napalm and Silly Putty, and When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?
by George CarlinThree comedic classics in one, by the legendary George Carlin. Includes Brain Droppings, Napalm and Silly Putty, and When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? For four decades, George Carlin has been one of America's favorite comics, known as much for his willingness to take on taboo subjects as for his absurdist wordplay. As an author, he has proved equally popular: With combined sales of more than two million copies, Carlin's three books of razor-sharp and hilarious observations have topped bestseller lists nationwide. Now, for the first time as an ebook, Hachette Books proudly collects all three volumes--When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, Napalm and Silly Putty, and Brain Droppings--into one hilarious omnibus.
3, 2 o 1. Tú y yo lo sabíamos
by Joaquín LuquiNo se puede hablar en nuestro país de radio y música sin evocar a Joaquín Luqui. Su intuición para detectar el éxito, su personal forma de expresarse y su capacidad de comunicar le situaron entre los grandes del periodismo en España. Luqui fue el gran "ilusionador" y referente discreto de toda una generación de profesionales de la radio que hoy pervive. Logró la misma complicidad y cercanía con los oyentes que con los artistas a los que ayudaba a alcanzar la cima. Desde los 40 Principales y El Gran Musical se implicó en la difusión de los artistas más señalados de nuestro pop. El mensaje de Joaquín logró amplificar la relevancia de nuestra música: Alejandro Sanz se lo reconoce y agradece en primera persona en el prólogo de este libro. A modo de legado aparece Tres, dos o Uno, donde Joaquín Luqui relata cómo son los grandes, cómo los ve y qué imagina que sienten.

3-D Cinema and Trauma: Poetics of Remembrance and Loss
by Dor FadlonThis book examines 3D cinema across the early 1950s, the early 1980s, and from 2009 to 2014, providing for the first time not only a connection between 3D cinema and historical trauma but also a consideration of 3D aesthetics from a cultural perspective. The main argument of the book is that 3D cinema possesses a privileged potential to engage with trauma. Exploring questions of representation, embodiment and temporality in 3-D cinema, the book takes an interdisciplinary approach, offering a compelling analysis to a combination of box office favorites and more obscure films, ranging across genres such as horror, erotica, fantasy, science fiction, and documentaries. Weaving theoretical discussions and film analysis this book renders complex theoretical frameworks such as Deleuze and trauma theory accessible.
3-D Computer Graphics

BussThis introduction to 3D computer graphics emphasizes fundamentals and the mathematics underlying computer graphics, while also covering programming techniques using OpenGL, a platform-independent graphics programming environment. The minimal prerequisites make it suitable for self-study or for use as an advanced undergraduate or introductory graduate text as the author leads step-by-step from the basics of transformations to advanced topics such as animations and kinematics. Accompanying software, including source code for a ray tracing software package, is available freely from the book's web site.
3-D Computer Vision: Principles, Algorithms and Applications
by Yu-Jin ZhangThis textbook offers advanced content on computer vision (basic content can be found in its prerequisite textbook, “2D Computer Vision: Principles, Algorithms and Applications”), including the basic principles, typical methods and practical techniques. It is intended for graduate courses on related topics, e.g. Computer Vision, 3-D Computer Vision, Graphics, Artificial Intelligence, etc. The book is mainly based on my lecture notes for several undergraduate and graduate classes I have offered over the past several years, while a number of topics stem from my research publications co-authored with my students. This book takes into account the needs of learners with various professional backgrounds, as well as those of self-learners. Furthermore, it can be used as a reference guide for practitioners and professionals in related fields. To aid in comprehension, the book includes a wealth of self-test questions (with hints and answers). On the one hand, these questions help teachers to carry out online teaching and interact with students during lectures; on the other, self-learners can use them to assess whether they have grasped the key content.
3-D Engineering
by Vicki V. MayHow did somebody come up with the idea for bridges, skyscrapers, helicopters, and nightlights? How did people figure out how to build them? In 3D Engineering: Design and Build Your Own Prototypes, young readers tackle real-life engineering problems by figuring out real-life solutions. Kids apply science and math skills to create prototypes for bridges, instruments, alarms, and more. Prototypes are preliminary models used by engineers--and kids--to evaluate ideas and to better understand how things work. Engineering design starts with an idea. How do we get to the other side of the river? How do we travel long distances in short times? Using a structured engineering design process, kids learn how to brainstorm, build a prototype, test a prototype, evaluate, and re-design. Projects include designing a cardboard chair to understand the stiffness of structural systems and designing and building a set of pan pipes to experiment with pitch and volume. Creating prototypes is a key step in the engineering design process and prototyping early in the design process generally results in better processes and products. 3D Engineering gives kids a chance to figure out many different prototypes, empowering them to discover the mechanics of the world we know.
