Book Description This fascinating, full-color volume brings together Meyer's photographs and his essays from ZoneZero, the international photography Web site he founded, along with other experts' commentary on his work In one section, Meyer deconstructs some of his vivid, magical realist-style works, taking the reader inside his creative обясъ process Students and admirers of Meyer's work, those interested in documentary photography or contemporary Mexico, and anyone interested in the timely intellectual questions he raises will be drawn to this engaging and beautiful book Internationally regarded photographer Pedro Meyer began his career as a journalist and documentary photographer, and in many ways that is still his primary form of expression, although his work often crosses what others perceive as boundaries between truth and fiction Meyer contends that photographers have always manipulated the truth to elicit certain responses Sometimes, of course, the intent is to deceive, whether digitally through software programs like Photoshop, or by simply positioning the camera in a certain way to include or exclude parts of the picture, or in the darkroom, adjusting the lighting or cropping people in or out of a shot At other times, Meyer argues, a transformed image can present a more profound truth than could be captured in a single exposure, just as fiction sometimes conveys more truth than simple reportage The task for viewers says Meyer, is to question why and how images are made, and in the process uncover the real truth in those images.  Mari   Stop   Yves   Mexo2005 г 296 стр ISBN 0321269136.

Paul Klee was a leading figure in European Modernism, and his acclaim at home was quickly matched in the United States, where both private collectors and major museums sought out his work Klee and America explores the reasons for that enthusiastic reception, especially during the 1930s and 1940s, while the artist was being targeted in HitlerA­s обяую campaign against Entartete Kunst (degenerate art) Just as the European market for KleeA­s work was collapsing, American patrons and curators were gobbling it up And after he had been removed from his teaching post in Dusseldorf and had returned to his childhood home in Switzerland, Klee continued to be represented by a number of German-Jewish art dealers who had emigrated to the U S Eventually his work landed in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim, among others Foremost among KleeA­s earliest American collectors was Katherine Dreier, whose Societe Anonyme, founded with artists Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, sponsored the exhibitions of pioneering abstract art in which his paintings were first shown in America In Los Angeles, Walter and Louise Arensberg assembled a vast collection of KleeA­s paintings In 1939, Alfred Barr Jr bought a first canvas for MoMA Klee and America examines this history and offers an impressive selection of KleeA­s finest A¬AmericanA® works, both paintings and drawings.  Geni   Wind   Alex   Барк2006 г Твердый переплет, 315 стр ISBN 3775717234.

Agriculture is the major user of water in most countries It also faces the enormous challenge of producing almost 50% more food by 2030 and doubling production by 2050 This will likely need to be achieved with less water, mainly because of growing pressures from urbanisation, industrialisation and climate change In this context, it will be important одньл in future for farmers to receive the right signals to increase water use efficiency and improve agricultural water management, while preserving aquatic ecosystems This report calls on policy makers to recognise the complexity and diversity of water resource management in agriculture and the wide range of issues at stake And it gives them the tools to do so, offering a wealth of information on recent trends and the outlook for water resource use in agriculture, including the impacts of climate change It examines the policy experiences of OECD countries in managing their water resources for agriculture, with focus on: the extent to which countries subsidise the supply of water to farmers; flood and drought risk policies; and institutional organisation and governance as it relates to water and the agricultural sector The report offers concrete recommendations on what countries should be doing and why Table of Content : - Executive Summary - Summary and Recommendations - Introduction - Setting the Scene - Hydrology and Economics of Water Resource Management in Agriculture - Recent Trends and Outlook for Water Resources in Agriculture - OECD Countries Policy Experiences - Bibliography - An Economic Analysis of the Virtual Water Concept in relation to the Agri-food Sector - Agriculture's Role in Flood Adaptation and Mitigation - Policy Issues and Approaches - Environmental Effectiveness and Economic Efficiency of Water Use in Agriculture - The Experience of and Lessons from the Australian Water Reform Programme - Financing Water Management and Infrastructure related to Agriculture across OECD Countries - Agricultural Water Pricing - EU and Mexico - Agricultural Water Pricing - Japan and Korea - Agricultural Water Pricing - Turkey - Agricultural Water Pricing - Australia - Agricultural Water Pricing - United States.  Bald   Digi   Chec   разг2010 г Мягкая обложка, 120 стр ISBN 9264083456.

A salt dome is a type of structural dome formed when a thick bed of evaporite minerals (mainly salt, or halite) found at depth intrudes vertically into surrounding rock strata, forming a diapir The salt that forms these domes was deposited within restricted marine basins Due to restricted flow of water одньо into a basin, evaporation occurs resulting in the precipitation of salts from solution, depositing evaporites It is recognised that a single evaporation event is rarely enough to produce the vast quantities of salt found in evaporite deposits indicating that a sustained period of episodic flooding and evaporation of the basin must occur, as can be seen from the example of the Mediterranean Messinian salinity crisis.  EHLP   Tatt   Svia   Davi2010 г Мягкая обложка, 68 стр ISBN 6130420722.

In 1901, the Tuskegee Institute, founded by Booker T Washington, sent an expedition to the German colony of Togo in West Africa, with the purpose of transforming the region into a cotton economy similar to that of the post-Reconstruction American South Alabama in Africa explores the politics of labor, sexuality, and race behind this endeavor, одньф and the economic, political, and intellectual links connecting Germany, Africa, and the southern United States The cross-fertilization of histories and practices led to the emergence of a global South, reproduced social inequities on both sides of the Atlantic, and pushed the American South and the German Empire to the forefront of modern colonialism Zimmerman shows how the people of Togo, rather than serving as a blank slate for American and German ideologies, helped shape their region's place in the global South He looks at the forms of resistance pioneered by African American freedpeople, Polish migrant laborers, African cotton cultivators, and other groups exploited by, but never passive victims of, the growing colonial political economy Zimmerman reconstructs the social science of the global South formulated by such thinkers as Max Weber and W E B Du Bois, and reveals how their theories continue to define contemporary race, class, and culture Tracking the intertwined histories of Europe, Africa, and the Americas at the turn of the century, Alabama in Africa shows how the politics and economics of the segregated American South significantly reshaped other areas of the world.  RHZN   Opti   DrBr   Lomo2010 г Твердый переплет, 416 стр ISBN 0691123624.

Governments in developing countries have been increasingly involved in the support of commercial agricultural insurance programs in recent years In their attempt to design and implement agricultural insurance, many governments in developing countries have sought technical assistance from the international community and particularly одньч from the World Bank World Bank is among the few international financial organizations having a fully dedicated insurance team with agricultural insurance experts, and the agricultural insurance team currently provides technical assistance in about 20 countries One of the recurrent requests from the governments is about the international experience with agricultural insurance, not only in developed countries where in some cases agricultural insurance has been offered for more than a century, but also in middle- and low-income countries They are particularly interested in the experience of public support to agricultural insurance, including technical, operational, financial and institutional aspects The book aims to inform and update the public and private decision makers involved in the promotion of agricultural insurance about the recent developments in agricultural insurance, with a particular focus on middle- and low-income countries It provides the decision maker with a framework for the development of agricultural insurance based on an analytical review of the rationale of public intervention in agricultural insurance and a detailed comparative analysis of agricultural insurance programs with and without public support This analysis is based on a survey conducted by the World Bank s agricultural insurance team in 2008 in 65 developed and developing countries It offers policymakers a review of public support in agricultural insurance in light of international experience and makes recommendations for the development of sustainable, affordable and cost-effective agricultural insurance programs.  Rola   Сысо   Serg   Hist2010 г Мягкая обложка, 224 стр ISBN 0821382179.

After being retired from his construction profession, Cameron Rebigsol has more chances to get involved in writings that he felt quite controversial during his younger age The typical topics that always haunt him mainly concentrate in the areas of human beings’ biological and cultural evolution Shouldn’t human beings’ physical characteristics одньь reveal more of a history of tens of million years of an aqua life other than an arboreal life of their ancestors? Such physical characteristics include hair on scalp but otherwise a nude body, a pair of eyes and two nostrils that stay very closely together, and a pair of perpetually swollen mammary glands for their females Will a worldwide abrupt change of racial balance soon happen among human beings? Will monopoly on everything be an ultimate society for the entire mankind? What can modern American Christians do while a disintegration of their country is in progress: the falling apart of a nation of Christendom, the loss of English——a silver spoon born with in mouth, the ultra rapid seizure of wealth and land but by others? A big topic surfacing up in human’s cultural evolution but puzzling Rebigsol the most often is the relativity in physics When it is regarded as a result of a superb intelligence in the academic world, why must it lead to some mathematical difficulty such as 0=C (speed of light)? For the discussion to be thorough, Cameron R even offers $50,000 through this book to solicit a convincing solution.  Davi   Ever   Micr   Mart2010 г Твердый переплет, 292 стр ISBN 1441592857.

When Jeff Goodell first encountered the term "geoengineering," he had a vague sense that it involved outlandish schemes to counteract global warming As a journalist, he was deeply skeptical But he was also intrigued The planet was in trouble Could geoengineers help? Climate change may well be the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced однэл Temperatures in some regions of the world could increase by as much as fifteen degrees by the end of the century, causing rising sea levels and severe droughts But change could also happen much more suddenly What if we had a real climate emergency, the ecological equivalent of the subprime mortgage meltdown a?? how could we cool the planet in a hurry? As Goodell shows in this bracing book, even if we could muster the political will for it, cutting greenhouse gas emissions alone may not be enough to reduce the risk of climate catastrophe This has led some scientists to pursue extreme solutions: huge contraptions that would suck CO2 from the air, machines that would brighten clouds and deflect sunlight away from the earth, even artificial volcanoes that would spray heat-reflecting particles into the atmosphere In How to Cool the Planet, Goodell explores the scientific, political, financial, and moral aspects of geoengineering How are we to change the temperature of whole regions if we can't even predict next week's weather? What if a wealthy entrepreneur shots particles into the stratosphere on his own? What about wars waged with climate control as the primary weapon? What happens to our relationship with nature when, as Goodell puts it, we all find ourselves living in a giant terrarium? And our options are dwindling Maybe, Goodell suggests, we need to start taking geoengineering seriously Maybe it's Plan B for the planet And if it is, we need to know enough to get it right Thoroughly reported and convincingly argued, How to Cool the Planet is a compelling tale of scientific hubris and technical daring But it is also a thoughtful, even-handed look at a deeply complex and controversial issue It's a book that will surely jump-start the next big debate about the future of life on earth.  8942   Seve   Удар   Renz2010 г Твердый переплет, 272 стр ISBN 0618990615.

Global warming skeptics often fall back on the argument that the scientific case for global warming is all model predictions, nothing but simulation; they warn us that we need to wait for real data, "sound science " In A Vast Machine Paul Edwards has news for these skeptics: without models, there are no data Today, no collection of signals однэы or observationsa??even from satellites, which can "see" the whole planet with a single instrumenta??becomes global in time and space without passing through a series of data models Everything we know about the world's climate we know through models Edwards offers an engaging and innovative history of how scientists learned to understand the atmospherea??to measure it, trace its past, and model its future Edwards argues that all our knowledge about climate change comes from three kinds of computer models: simulation models of weather and climate; reanalysis models, which recreate climate history from historical weather data; and data models, used to combine and adjust measurements from many different sources Meteorology creates knowledge through an infrastructure (weather stations and other data platforms) that covers the whole world, making global data This infrastructure generates information so vast in quantity and so diverse in quality and form that it can be understood only by computer analysisa??making data global Edwards describes the science behind the scientific consensus on climate change, arguing that over the years data and models have converged to create a stable, reliable, and trustworthy basis for establishing the reality of global warming.  Bozi   Слов   клуб   ЛитР2010 г Твердый переплет, 528 стр ISBN 0262013924.

This autobiography presents a personal account of the life of a woman academic, over a span of 60 years, from incidents in her childhood, through the education process from primary to pre-university education in British Malaya to two doctorates from University College London As the story unfolds, it is immediately apparent that her journey in одняу academia has been far from ordinary She gives credit to the excellent early education she received in Ipoh a medium-sized town in Malaya from highly qualified and dedicated nuns and teachers in the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus Hers was a career carved out by Providence, as she drifted to various international centers of learning, depending on the sponsorship of scholarships available at the time Her drive and passion for chemistry (actually with other attributes as well) allowed her to rub shoulders with some of the best minds in the field Her association with numerous colleagues, mentors and scientists, unintentionally and unknowingly, laid the groundwork for a sort of global networking, which in turn influenced her career path in subtle yet significant ways This proved immensely useful later as she balanced the rigorous demands of teaching, research and family She has shown that it is not impossible for a woman to make a success of family and life in academia Indeed, her story will encourage young women venturing into science and academia It also shows that developing countries more than their developed counterparts have a good deal to gain from their professional citizens by removing obstacles such as unduly early mandatory retirement and poor support for active researchers It is a refreshing glimpse into the author's generation in science and academia and a repository of important insights for students and scientists in developing and emerging economies.  Malc   Звон   Соло   авто2010 г Твердый переплет, 176 стр ISBN 981430400X.

Climate change and justice are so closely associated that many people take it for granted that a global climate treaty should--indeed, must--directly address both issues together But, in fact, this would be a serious mistake, one that, by dooming effective international limits on greenhouse gases, would actually make the world's poor and developing однэб nations far worse off This is the provocative and original argument of Climate Change Justice Eric Posner and David Weisbach strongly favor both a climate change agreement and efforts to improve economic justice But they make a powerful case that the best--and possibly only--way to get an effective climate treaty is to exclude measures designed to redistribute wealth or address historical wrongs against underdeveloped countries In clear language, Climate Change Justice proposes four basic principles for designing the only kind of climate treaty that will work--a forward-looking agreement that requires every country to make greenhouse--gas reductions but still makes every country better off in its own view This kind of treaty has the best chance of actually controlling climate change and improving the welfare of people around the world.  хоро   полю   Silv   Brot2010 г Твердый переплет, 240 стр ISBN 0691137757.

It is obvious that movement is an essential concept of all living organisms Molecular motility participates in many cellular functions including cell division, intracellular transport and movement of the organism itself Thus, it is not surprising that nature has evolved a series of biological nanomotors that fulfil many of these tasks A general однэц class of these biological nanomotors is called protein nanomotors that move in a linear fashion (e g the kinesin or myosin or dynein motors) or rotate (e g F0F1-ATP synthase or bacterial flagellar motors) Protein nanomotors are natural motors responsible for the human activity and are also the subject of interest for nanotechnology Protein nanomotors are ideal nanomotors because of their small size, perfect structure, smart and high efficiency Recent advances in understanding how protein nanomotors work has raised the possibility that they might find applications as protein-based nanorobots Thus bio-nanomotors could form the basis of bottom-up approaches for constructing active structuring and maintenance at the manometer scale In this chapter, we have presented structures, mechanisms and potential applications of linear protein nanomotors The three known families of protein nanomotors kinesin, dynein and myosin are multi-protein complexes and share a variety of important features They are responsible for various dynamical processes for transporting single molecules over small distances to cell movement and growth Our reviewing from the mechanism, regulation and co-ordination of linear nanomotors, indicate that the majority of active transport in the cell is driven by linear protein nanomotors All of them convert the chemical energy into mechanical work directly rather than via an intermediate energy Linear protein nanomotors are self-guiding systems They have evolved to enable movement on their polymer filaments, either on cellular or supra-cellular levels and are able to recognise the direction of movement Moreover, each class of nanomotor has different properties, but in the cell they are known to cooperate and even to compete with each others during their function We have also reviewed the potential application of linear protein nanomotors According to this, we predict that linear protein nanomotors may enable the creation of a new class of nanotechnology-based applications; for example, bio-nanorobots, molecular machines, nanomechanical devices and drug deliver systems Thus, protein nanomotors field is very challenging field and is attracting a diverse group of researchers keen to find more.  Щерб   увед   серт   Fran2010 г Мягкая обложка, 63 стр ISBN 1608767345.

This is a challenging, innovative, and timely new look at implementing Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) by one of the field's leading trainers and authors The book takes into account the economic upheavals of recent years and demonstrates that TPM is less about moving maintenance tasks to operations than moving accountability for aggregate однюй output of the plant to operators The author goes on to show that effective TPM - TPM reloaded -- requires a radical difference in management's view of the worker and even tougher, a radical change in the way workers view their own role.  рабо   Herb   Руби   Соде2010 г Твердый переплет, 150 стр ISBN 0831134267.

Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) (sometimes QSPR: quantitative structure-property relationship) is the process by which chemical structure is quantitatively correlated with a well defined process, such as biological activity or chemical reactivity For example, biological однюя activity can be expressed quantitatively as in the concentration of a substance required to give a certain biological response Additionally, when physicochemical properties or structures are expressed by numbers, one can form a mathematical relationship, or quantitative structure-activity relationship, between the two The mathematical expression can then be used to predict the biological response of other chemical structures.  Wink   Шенк   Mari   Яков2010 г Мягкая обложка, 72 стр ISBN 6130499159.

Ensemble methods have been called the most influential development in Data Mining and Machine Learning in the past decade They combine multiple models into one usually more accurate than the best of its components Ensembles can provide a critical boost to industrial challenges -- from investment timing to drug discovery, and fraud detection одняк to recommendation systems -- where predictive accuracy is more vital than model interpretability Ensembles are useful with all modeling algorithms, but this book focuses on decision trees to explain them most clearly After describing trees and their strengths and weaknesses, the authors provide an overview of regularization -- today understood to be a key reason for the superior performance of modern ensembling algorithms The book continues with a clear description of two recent developments: Importance Sampling (IS) and Rule Ensembles (RE) IS reveals classic ensemble methods -- bagging, random forests, and boosting -- to be special cases of a single algorithm, thereby showing how to improve their accuracy and speed REs are linear rule models derived from decision tree ensembles They are the most interpretable version of ensembles, which is essential to applications such as credit scoring and fault diagnosis Lastly, the authors explain the paradox of how ensembles achieve greater accuracy on new data despite their (apparently much greater) complexity This book is aimed at novice and advanced analytic researchers and practitioners -- especially in Engineering, Statistics, and Computer Science Those with little exposure to ensembles will learn why and how to employ this breakthrough method, and advanced practitioners will gain insight into building even more powerful models Throughout, snippets of code in R are provided to illustrate the algorithms described and to encourage the reader to try the techniques (edited by author).  With   Silv   Silv   Silv2010 г Мягкая обложка, 126 стр ISBN 1608452840.
