El prestigio de Marcel Bataillon no proviene únicamente de los trabajos publicados por él mismo, sino también de las investigaciones que dirigió o inspiró. Una primera estancia en la Escuela de Altos Estudios Hispánicos, en 1916, le permite vislumbrar y esbozar lo que con el tiempo se convertiría en su vocación científica: el humanismo, enfocado primero como una investigación sobre el helenismo en España, tema que posteriormente amplió al conjunto de movimientos intelectuales, culturales y espirituales del siglo XVI. Marcel Bataillon no se dejó encerrar en una limitada especialización. Su curiosidad intelectual llegó a abarcar casi todos los sectores del hispanismo. Destacan en su obra tres orientaciones privilegiadas: la literatura española del siglo XVI, la historia espiritual de España y los debates suscitados por la conquista y colonización del Nuevo Mundo. Las contribuciones al homenaje que la Casa de Velázques le rindió con motivo del centenario de su nacimiento se organizan alrededor de estas tres direcciones. Los autores -todos ellos discípulos de Marcel Bataillon- dan testimonio, a través de los estudios publicados en esta obra, de la fecundidad de las pistas abiertas por el maestro.

Russia first encountered Alaska in 1741 as part of the most ambitious and expensive expedition of the entire eighteenth century. For centuries since, cartographers have struggled to define and develop the enormous region comprising northeastern Asia, the North Pacific, and Alaska. The forces of nature and the follies of human error conspired to make the area incredibly difficult to map. Exploring and Mapping Alaska focuses on this foundational period in Arctic cartography. Russia spurred a golden era of cartographic exploration, while shrouding their efforts in a veil of secrecy. They drew both on old systems developed by early fur traders and new methodologies created in Europe. With Great Britain, France, and Spain following close behind, their expeditions led to an astounding increase in the world's knowledge of North America. Through engrossing descriptions of the explorations and expert navigators, aided by informative illustrations, readers can clearly trace the evolution of the maps of the era, watching as a once-mysterious region came into sharper focus. The result of years of cross-continental research, Exploring and Mapping Alaska is a fascinating study of the trials and triumphs of one of the last great eras of historic mapmaking.

Few Renaissance Venetians saw the New World with their own eyes. As the print capital of early modern Europe, however, Venice developed a unique relationship to the Americas. Venetian editors, mapmakers, translators, writers, and cosmographers represented the New World at times as a place that the city's mariners had discovered before the Spanish, a world linked to Marco Polo's China, or another version of Venice, especially in the case of Tenochtitlan. Elizabeth Horodowich explores these various and distinctive modes of imagining the New World, including Venetian rhetorics of 'firstness', similitude, othering, comparison, and simultaneity generated through forms of textual and visual pastiche that linked the wider world to the Venetian lagoon. These wide-ranging stances allowed Venetians to argue for their different but equivalent participation in the Age of Encounters. Whereas historians have traditionally focused on the Spanish conquest and colonization of the New World, and the Dutch and English mapping of it, they have ignored the wide circulation of Venetian Americana. Horodowich demonstrates how with their printed texts and maps, Venetian newsmongers embraced a fertile tensi

This volume contains the papers presented at DS-2007:The Tenth International Conference on Discovery Science held in Sendai, Japan, October 1–4, 2007. The main objective of the Discovery Science (DS) conference series is to p- vide an open forum for intensive discussions and the exchange of new ideas and information among researchers working in the area of automating scienti?c d- covery or working on tools for supporting the human process of discovery in science. It has been a successful arrangement in the past to co-locate the DS conference with the International Conference on Algorithmic Learning Theory (ALT). ThiscombinationofALTandDSallowsforacomprehensivetreatmentof the whole range, from theoretical investigations to practical applications. C- tinuing this tradition, DS 2007 was co-located with the 18th ALT conference (ALT 2007). The proceedings of ALT 2007 were published as a twin volume 4754 of the LNCS series. The International Steering Committee of the Discovery Science conference series provided important advice on a number of issues during the planning of Discovery Science 2007. The members of the Steering Committee are Einoshin Suzuki (Kyushu University, Chair), Achim G.
