Fuzzy logic and continuous classification methods are presented as methods for linking the two spatial paradigms.
Current geographical information systems GIS deal almost exclusively with well-defined, static geographical objects ranging from physical landscapes to towns and transport systems. Such objects, exactly located in space, can easily be handled by modern GIS, yet form only a small proportion of all the possible geographical objects.; This book challenges the assumption that the world is compsed of exactly defined and bounded geographic objects such as land parcels, rivers and countries. ignoring the essential complexity of the world, current GIS do not adequately address problems as diverse as the resolution of crime between national boundaries, or the interpretation of views of people from different cultures. This work, bringing together a range of specialists from fields such as linguistics, computer science, land surveying, cartography and soil science, examines current research into the challenges of dealing with geographical phenomena that cannot easily be forced into one of the two current standard data models.

'I have learned to be content in whatever state] I am'' (Phil. 4:11) Anyone who lacks true contentment may find it in this book. If not, it will be because that one would not follow the very clear and simple instructions given. The teaching is from the Bible, yet it must be described as unique. Nowhere else will you find such unusual, but Biblically authenticated thoughts: He will teach you that contentment lies in subtraction, not in addition; that the ABC's of Christianity are nothing like what you thought them to be; that there is a mystery of contentment, but that once you have learned the way from Christ's word, you will be able to attain such a depth of contentment as you never before dreamed existed. This is a key book for building up Christian maturity. Christian Contentment, what is it? ''It is a sweet, inward heart thing. It is a work of the Spirit indoors. It is a box of precious ointment, very comforting and useful for troubled hearts in times of troubled conditions.
When Burrough Hill Lad took to the turf and won the Cheltenham Gold Cup, Hennessy Gold Cup and King George VI Chase in one incredible year under the indomitable Jenny Pitman, he became one of the finest steeplechasers of all time. Yet the man behind Burrough Hill Lad's success was a quietly-spoken farmer who rose from an impoverished background to take on the rich world of horse racing - and win. Stan Riley risked it all to take his place in history and shake hands with royalty. His steely determination mirrored that of his magnificent horse. Neither of them would give up. There was only one way to live, and that was to win. But it came at a price.
Net Works offers an inside look into the process of successfully developing thoughtful, innovative digital media. In many practice-based art texts and classrooms, technology is divorced from the socio-political concerns of those using it. Although there are many resources for media theorists, practice-based students sometimes find it difficult to engage with a text that fails to relate theoretical concerns to the act of creating. Net Works strives to fill that gap. Using websites as case studies, each chapter introduces a different style of web project--from formalist play to social activism to data visualization--and then includes the artists' or entrepreneurs' reflections on the particular challenges and outcomes of developing that web project. Scholarly introductions to each section apply a theoretical frame for the projects. A companion website offers further resources for hands-on learning. Combining practical skills for web authoring with critical perspectives on the web, Net Works is ideal for courses in new media design, art, communication, critical studies, media and technology, or popular digital/internet culture.
From the bestselling author of Public Enemies and The Big Rich, an explosive account of the decade-long battle between the FBI and the homegrown revolutionary movements of the 1970s The Weathermen. The Symbionese Liberation Army. The FALN. The Black Liberation Army. The names seem quaint now, when not forgotten altogether. But there was a stretch of time in America, during the 1970s, when bombings by domestic underground groups were a daily occurrence. The FBI combated these groups and others as nodes in a single revolutionary underground, dedicated to the violent overthrow of the American government. The FBI’s response to the leftist revolutionary counterculture has not been treated kindl...
„Una dintre cele mai zguduitoare confesiuni scrise vreodată." Allen Ginsberg Scris între anii 1951 și 1953, dar publicat abia în 1985, legendarul roman al lui Burroughs este o enigmă — atât un autoportret plin de cruzime, cât și un roman politic mușcător, cea mai realistă poveste de dragoste a autorului, dar și un montaj de scene fantastice comicgrotești. Plasat în Mexico City, la începutul anilor 1950, Queer îl are în centru pe William Lee și căutarea deznădăjduită a intimității și a ostoirii dorinței prin toate barurile ce alcătuiesc scena expiaților americani din capitala mexicană. Queer este și cronica pasiunii homosexuale a personajului principal pentru...
