Computer Vision: Seeing the world through AI Eye
This ability to make sense of the world in all of its three dimensions seems to be something that comes naturally to us. When you examine the flowers that are in the vase that is sitting on the table nearby, you should think about how clear your vision of three-dimensional space is. The intricate patterns of light and shadow that dance across the surface of the flower is shown in Figure 1.1. These patterns disclose the outline of the bloom as well as its translucent quality. Through the use of these patterns, the scene is visually differentiated from the background. When you look at the faces of the people in a framed group picture, you can not only recognize each individual, but you can also count them and even determine their emotions. Despite the fact that perceptual psychologists have spent decades trying to figure out how the visual system works on the inside (Figure1.3), and despite the fact that they have been successful in constructing optical illusions1 to throw light on certain principles, a definitive solution to this mystery has not yet been discovered.

The Leatherback Turtle
The most comprehensive book ever written on leatherback sea turtles. Weighing as much as 2,000 pounds and reaching lengths of over seven feet, leatherback turtles are the world’s largest reptile. These unusual sea turtles have a thick, pliable shell that helps them to withstand great depths—they can swim more than one thousand meters below the surface in search of food. And what food source sustains these goliaths? Their diet consists almost exclusively of jellyfish, a meal they crisscross the oceans to find. Leatherbacks have been declining in recent decades, and some predict they will be gone by the end of this century. Why? Because of two primary factors: human redevelopment of nestin...
Social Sciences
"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year b...
Cultural Encounters
More than just an expression of religious authority or an instrument of social control, the Inquisition was an arena where cultures met and clashed on both shores of the Atlantic. This pioneering volume examines how cultural identities were maintained despite oppression. Persecuted groups were able to survive the Inquisition by means of diverse strategies—whether Christianized Jews in Spain preserving their experiences in literature, or native American folk healers practicing medical care. These investigations of social resistance and cultural persistence will reinforce the cultural significance of the Inquisition. Contributors: Jaime Contreras, Anne J. Cruz, Jesús M. De Bujanda, Richard ...
