Discover the cinematic genius behind every Martin Scorsese film—from gritty urban tales to sweeping epics, this definitive book celebrates every feature film, documentary, and short by one of cinema’s greatest directors.   Scorsese is a living legend. Over the last 50 years, he has redefined cinema, crafting stories of crime, faith, obsession, and redemption, becoming one of the most revered directors alive. Scorsese: All the Films is the ultimate deep dive into every one of his films from his early indie days with Who's That Knocking at My Door to his latest epic, Killers of the Flower Moon, plus classics such as Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas that are regularly cited as being among the finest films ever made.   Covering each of the director’s 26 feature films, 17 documentary films, 7 short films, and 4 television episodes, the book draws upon years of research to tell the behind-the-scenes stories of how each project was conceived, cast, and produced. It explores the themes, techniques, and cultural impact of each movie, examining how Scorsese’s work evolved alongside his personal obsessions and how he has navigated Hollywood’s changing landscape. Also included are insights into his collaborations with actors Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, editor Thelma Schoonmaker, screenwriter Paul Schrader, and many more. With more than 250 behind-the-scenes stills, photographs, posters, and ephemera, this is a definitive celebration of one of cinema’s most enduring talents.

Machine Learning has become a key enabling technology for many engineering applications, investigating scientific questions and theoretical problems alike. To stimulate discussions and to disseminate new results, a summer school series was started in February 2002, the documentation of which is published as LNAI 2600.This book presents revised lectures of two subsequent summer schools held in 2003 in Canberra, Australia, and in Tübingen, Germany. The tutorial lectures included are devoted to statistical learning theory, unsupervised learning, Bayesian inference, and applications in pattern recognition; they provide in-depth overviews of exciting new developments and contain a large number of references.Graduate students, lecturers, researchers and professionals alike will find this book a useful resource in learning and teaching machine learning.

- ¿Taxi Driver muestra el auténtico Nueva York de la época? ¿El planeta Tatooine, de La guerra de las galaxias, es más que un decorado de estudio? ¿Nosferatu se rodó en Transilvania? - Este atlas es una vuelta al mundo en la que cada película explora un lugar mítico del cine: Madrid y el cine de Pedro Almodóvar, Monument Valley y los westerns de John Ford, París y Amélie.- Las películas, acompañadas de fotografías y mapas, se analizan y se comentan a la luz de sus decorados y sus paisajes, reales como la favela de Ciudad de Dios o ficticios como la Ciudad Prohibida de 55 días en Pekín (recreada íntegramente en España).Más allá de las películas, los autores descifran los vínculos entre cineastas y lugares: Woody Allen y Nueva York o Akira Kurosawa y Gotenba, entre otros. Asimismo, se rinde homenaje a los lugares imprescindibles del cine, como la Estatua de la Libertad (Los Cazafantasmas II, X-Men) o, incluso, el planeta Marte.En este libro, la importancia de las películas no se mide por el lugar que ocupan en la historia del séptimo arte, por su impacto o sus repercusiones, sino por los lugares donde transcurren. Por lo que comunica el marco geográfico, arquitectónico, natural, sobre el propósito que persiguen. Es otra manera de recorrer los caminos del cine, tan variados. Una manera de cambiar de punto de vista (que en ocasiones transmite la sensación un tanto emocionante de entrar por la puerta de atrás, por el patio trasero en el que no habíamos reparado), de entender mejor las cosas de repente con solo asomarnos a otra ventana.
