Allen shares "Thirty Moments of Vision" as a way for readers to fortify theirunderstanding of a Savior-centric focus. (Social Issues)

Visions can offer inspiration, encouragement, and hope. It is in vision moments that lasting imprints of what God would have for our lives are stamped on each of our hearts. "Vision Moments will provide leaders of student ministries with the essential tools and examples--in areas such as spiritual growth, evangelism, community, ownership, and being a difference maker--to begin building lasting vision in the hearts of their teams.

The text for this volume of poetry reproduces the first edition of 1917, allowing Hardy's poems to be read as he first gathered them and as the publishers first produced them. This edition also contains an introduction and a bibliography.

A Hardy Chronology provides the Hardy student with an abbreviated biography and reference guide, listing year by year the full details of a remarkably full life and prodigious literary output. Background information is provided, especially for those historical events in which Hardy took most interest, but the chief aim has been to provide the reader with an account of Hardy's life which uses the author's own words wherever possible.

Pattern recognition is a central topic in contemporary computer sciences, with continuously evolving topics, challenges, and methods, including machine learning, content-based image retrieval, and model- and knowledge-based - proaches, just to name a few. The Iberoamerican Congress on Pattern Recog- tion (CIARP) has become established as a high-quality conference, highlighting the recent evolution of the domain. These proceedings include all papers presented during the 15th edition of this conference, held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in November 2010. As was the case for previous conferences, CIARP 2010 attracted parti- pants from around the world with the aim of promoting and disseminating - going research on mathematical methods and computing techniques for pattern recognition, computer vision, image analysis, and speech recognition, as well as their applications in such diverse areas as robotics, health, entertainment, space exploration, telecommunications, data mining, document analysis, and natural language processing and recognition, to name only a few of them. Moreover, it provided a forum for scienti?c research, experience exchange, sharing new kno- edge and increasing cooperation between research groups in pattern recognition and related areas. It is important to underline that these conferences have contributed sign- icantly to the growth of national associations for pattern recognition in the Iberoamerican region, all of them as members of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR).
