The Gulf War and the Environment
The Gulf War inflicted dramatic environmental damage upon the fragile desert and shore environments of Kuwait and north eastern Saudi Arabia. Marine environments experienced oil spills; inland, oil lakes and burning oil wells caused widespread pollution. This book, first published in 1994, presents an in-depth analysis of these environmental disasters, their long-term consequences, and potential ways to repair the damage.

Basil El-baz
Biography of Basil El-Baz, currently Chairman & CEO at Carbon Holdings.
Mohamed El Baz
Taking up a book on Mohamed El Baz means attempting to better understand how an artist observes the world and learning from this. It is a question of actually breaking into the reality that is explored by an exceptional intelligence and artistic sensibility. The reader allows himself to be swept away with El Baz beyond representation into an adventure involving both the mind and the eye. This artistic process is obsessively poetic and has something of Mallarmé about it that descends into an abyss of complexity only to emerge immediately into the light and a new clarity. This oeuvre marked by tension, in refusing to submit to traditionally accepted ideas, makes accessible to the viewer the need to go beyond the narrative and fully enter that rich area of experience between social reality and emotional intuition, which enables us to produce a thought, and whose mechanisms and aesthetic issues Nadine Descendre reveals in this book. Mohamed El Baz was born in 1967 at El Ksiba, Morocco. He lives in Lille, France.
Mohamed El Baz
La subtilité créative déployée par Mohamed El baz dans ses installations n'a d'égale que l'énergie intellectuelle qui l'anime. Entre corpus d'images et d'objets, constructions et appropriations, il invente un univers polyphonique singulier. Un rapport romanesque alimente une grande partie de son oeuvre qui fusionne avec son existence d'artiste et la conscience des contextes socio-économiques et politiques dans lesquels il travaille. Par delà un monde déterritorialisé il échafaude peu à peu un travail édifié pour autrui. Nadine Descendre, auteur de cette monographie, historienne de l'art occidental, philosophe et fine connaisseuse du monde arabe contemporain, montre comment Mohamed El baz a su contourner, par l'appropriation d'un dialogue éclaté avec le monde, le sentiment d'un foisonnement et d'un désordre acceptés. Elle révèle ainsi au fil de cet ouvrage comment l'artiste s'est attaché à ce que la forme n'interrompe pas la narration et elle débusque les conditions d'apparition de cet art qui fait advenir une manière contemporaine d'être au monde.
The Arab World and Space Research
Advances in space exploration have raised the levels of science and technology in countries with viable space programs, and the most tangible benefits remain in these countries. Dr. El-Baz reviews the available satellite imaging systems and their data and outlines a proposal for the planning, launch and operation of "Desertsat," an imaging satellite to be dedicated to photographing arid lands, particularly in the Arab world. He gives examples of practical uses of space images in solving problems, particularly those relating to a better understanding of the origin and evolution of Arab deserts in the hope that this information will lead to more widespread use of satellite images in development plans in the Arab world.
Remote Sensing in Archaeology
Archaeology has been transformed by technology that allows one to ‘see’ below the surface of the earth. This work illustrates the uses of advanced technology in archaeological investigation. It deals with hand-held instruments that probe the subsurface of the earth to unveil layering and associated sites; underwater exploration and photography of submerged sites and artifacts; and the utilization of imaging from aircraft and spacecraft to reveal the regional setting of archaeological sites and to assist in cultural resource management.
Lung Cancer and Imaging
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in both men and women worldwide. Early diagnosis of lung cancer can significantly increase the chances of a patient's survival, yet early detection has historically been difficult. As a result, there has been a great deal of progress in the development of accurate and fast diagnostic tools in recent years. Lung Cancer and Imaging provides an introduction to both the methods currently used in lung cancer diagnosis and the promising new techniques that are emerging. Areas covered include the major trends and challenges in lung cancer detection and diagnosis, classification of cancer types, lung feature extraction in joint PET/CT images, and algorithms in the area of low dosage CT lung cancer images.
