Massimiliano, giovane agente di commercio, ha vissuto parte della sua vita consapevole che questa non gli apparteneva. C’era una parte del suo passato che gli impediva di vivere nel presente. L’unica cosa che lo collegava al suo trascorso era un piccolo orsacchiotto di peluche. Nonostante la sua vita scorresse lenta e monotona, un incontro casuale lo spinse a dare una svolta alla sua esistenza, iniziando a collegare i tasselli della sua vita passata. Più il puzzle prendeva forma più scopriva che, una volta completato, la verità sarebbe stata più sconvolgente di quanto potesse immaginare. Ma fu proprio questo a spingerlo ad andare avanti, ottenendo risultati, forse, neanche sperati.

With the advent of the Web along with the unprecedented amount of information available in electronic format, conceptual data analysis is more useful and practical than ever, because this technology addresses important limitations of the systems that currently support users in their quest for information. Concept Data Analysis: Theory & Applications is the first book that provides a comprehensive treatment of the full range of algorithms available for conceptual data analysis, spanning creation, maintenance, display and manipulation of concept lattices. The accompanying website allows you to gain a greater understanding of the principles covered in the book through actively working on the topics discussed. The three main areas explored are interactive mining of documents or collections of documents (including Web documents), automatic text ranking, and rule mining from structured data. The potentials of conceptual data analysis in the application areas being considered are further illustrated by two detailed case studies. Concept Data Analysis: Theory & Applications is essential for researchers active in information processing and management and industry practitioners who are interested in creating a commercial product for conceptual data analysis or developing content management applications.

Dosso Dossi has long been considered one of Renaissance Italy's most intriguing artists. Although a wealth of documents chronicles his life, he remains, in many ways, an enigma, and his art continues to be as elusive as it is compelling. In Dosso's Fate, leading scholars from a wide range of disciplines examine the social, intellectual, and historical contexts of his art, focusing on the development of new genres of painting, questions of style and chronology, the influence of courtly culture, and the work of his collaborators, as well as his visual and literary sources and his painting technique. The result is an important and original contribution not only to literature on Dosso Dossi but also to the study of cultural history in early modern Italy.
