Haruki Murakami
Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack the Japanese Psyche

2004 y.
Publisher: Vintage
Description: The true story behind an act of terrorism that turned an average Monday morning into a national disaster. In spite of the perpetrators` intentions, the Tokyo gas attack left only twelve people dead, but thousands were injured and many suffered serious after-effects. The novelist Haruki Murakami interviews the victims to try and establish precisely what happened on the subway that day. He also interviews members and ex-members of the doomsday cult responsible, in the hope that they might be able to explain the reason for the attack and how it was that their guru instilled such devotion in his followers. Not just an impressive essay in witness literature, but also a unique sounding of the quotidian Japanese mind Independent A scrupulous and unhistrionic look into the heart of the horror Catherine… [detailed...]

Undersea with GIS

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Humankind has made more progress during the past 20 years in mapping the surface of neighboring planets than during the past 500 years in mapping the final frontier of Earth: the oceans. Indeed, we still know more about the dark side of the moon and the topography of Venus and Mars than we know of our own ocean floors. And yet the development in the last 10-20 years of sophisticated technologies for ocean data collection and management, including GIS, hold tremendous potential for mapping and interpreting the ocean environment in unprecedented detail. And for geographers, as well as the general public, maps still come to mind as the foundation of geographic inquiry. Undersea With GIS focuses on recent technical advances in mapping the deep oceans, coasts, and estuaries with GIS, as well as nautical charting and scientific visualization. Also included is a special section on Internet delivery of these products, as well as a CD-ROM with GIS tools and extensions for oceanographic… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: There is a deep desire in men, in order to reproduce intelligence and place it in a machine. Neural Networks are an attempt to reproduce the synaptic connections of our brain in a computer. Duplicating the way we use our neurons to think in a machine, itis expected to have a device that could be able to do A?A°intelligentA?A± tasks, the ones reserved just to humans some time ago. Neural Network is a reality now, not a fantasy, and they have been made in order to recognize patterns (a face, a photograph or a song, are patterns) and forecast trends. I have seen many books about this subject in my life. All of them are hard to read, and tedious to learn, so I decided to make my own one. For beginner readers, Ihave tried to use a simple language, in order to be understood by anyone who wants to know about nets. An easy to read, practical and concise work.

Understanding Agent Systems (Springer Series on Agent Technology)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book presents a formal approach to dealing with agents and agent systems. The Z specification language is used to establish an accessible and unified formal account of agent systems and inter-agent relationships. In particular, the framework provides precise and unambiguous meanings for common concepts and terms for agent systems, allows for the description of alternative agent models and architectures, and serves as a foundation for subsequent development of increasingly refined agent concepts. Thepracticability of this approach is verified by applying the formal framework to three detailed case studies. The methodology presented takes a very significant step towards organising and structuring the diverse and disparate landscape of agent-based systems by applying formal methods to develop a defining and encompassing agent framework. The book will appeal equally to researchers, students, and professionals in industry. [detailed...]

Understanding American Business Jargon

Description: In the 1990s, the American workplace is undergoing right-sizing, restructuring, downsizing, empowerment, and paradigm shifts! In other words, fewer people are attempting to do more tasks. Business buzzwords help convey ideas, issues, or responses. Business jargon is communication shorthand, but people need to correctly interpret this shorthand, which requires a common understanding. American business people too frequently assume new individuals in their organization and their professional counterparts around the world understand business jargon. This book is a practical reference for students, managers, and international business people trying to comprehend the fast-paced buzzword-laden language used by business people in the United States.

Understanding Antique Silver Plate: Reference and Price Guide

2007 y.
Publisher: Antique Collectors Club Dist A/C, Antique Collectors Club, Ltd.
Description: The discovery of silver plate came about as a result of a search for a cheaper alternative to solid silver. Its appearance widened the market for articles otherwise only fashioned in silver and made them accessible to different levels of society. The discovery and development of fused plate, more commonly known as Old Sheffield plate, played the major role from the 1750s to the mid-nineteenth century. This was followed in due course by the development of the mid-nineteenth century process, electroplating. There is written and detailed illustrated advice for the collector of items made in all these processes and in particular on distinguishing genuine pieces. Drawings and photographs of marks, where used, are provided. This popular and affordable collecting area has seen a surge of interest in recent years and prices have been very much on the increase.

Understanding Art Objects: Thinking Through the Eye

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: What can an art object tell us about its meaning today and at its execution? Can we `read` artefacts to find out why they were made and for whom? What do they reveal about their context and how has their value changed over the years? `Understanding Art Objects` presents thirteen essays written by teachers and consultants at Sotheby`s Institute addressing these exact questions. Each essay focuses on a single work, ranging from the 1st-century Jenkins Venus to Teresa Margolies` 117 corpses, demonstrating Sotheby`s theory of object-based learning in action. The contributors ask their readers to approach an artwork by looking at the work and identifying what is particular to it, and then assessing how it compares with other objects and what its condition tells us about its history. Only then is the discussion widened to consider the object`s significance in an art-historical narrative. The texts are all written to appeal not just to the scholar, the professional and the connoisseur… [detailed...]

Understanding Australia`s Neighbours: An Introduction to East and Southeast Asia

2004 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: The East and Southeast Asian region is of immense economic, strategic and cultural significance to Australia. It has also been important in defining Australia`s national identity, and is the origin of many of Australia`s immigrants. Australians therefore need to have some understanding of their northern neighbours, and to be able to think about them in an informed way. They need to do so not only to be able to understand the region in which they live, but also to better understand themselves. This book facilitates this process by providing comparisons between Asian and Australian societies. The reader is encouraged to think about Australia`s neighbours across a wide range of social, economic and historical contexts. These include the nature of tradition and modernity, change to the family and religion, the role of colonialism and nationalism in political change, nation-building, economic development, international politics, globalizations, and democracy and human rights. … [detailed...]
