About this book
*El dardo en la palabra*, el libro en el que Lázaro Carreter recoge las incorrecciones y gazapos, tanto hablados como escritos, de los medios de comunicación, ha sido un éxito sin precedentes para un texto de estas características. El volumen, que reúne artículos publicados desde 1975 hasta 1996 en algunos periódicos españoles, le permite al filólogo enseñar a hablar y a escribir mejor y mostrar los errores que se cometen en la prensa, la radio y la televisión.

Muffler man
Tito Campos
Chuy works hard at the muffler shop to earn enough money to join his father in America, where together they create an army of "muffler men," statues made from old muffler parts, that they scatter around the city.
Art, word and image
John Dixon Hunt, David Lomas, Michael Corris
A ground-breaking, highly illustrated survey of the use of words and language in art, from ancient times to today's digital media. The authors examine what happens when a painting is 'invaded' by language: how do the two forms interact and combine, and what messages are intended for the viewer.
Security and Persistence
John Rosenberg, J. Leslie Keedy
This volume presents the Proceedings of the International Workshop on Computer Architecures to Support Security and Persistence of Information, which was held in Bremen, West Germany, from 8 to 11 May 1990. The papers provide state-of-the-art details of current research into topics including persistent architectures, security, capability-based addressing and operating systems. Persistent systems are systems which support the creation and manipulation of objects in a uniform manner, regardless of how long they persist. This is in direct contrast to conventional systems where temporary and permanent objects are handled by separate mechanisms. The workshop brought together researchers in the areas of persistence and security to discuss issues related to architectural support for security and, as a result, capability-based protection schemes receive considerable attention. The implications of these architectures for software, in particular operating systems and databases, is the topic of several of the papers.
