  The life of the visionary conservationist who created the Appalachian Trail is chronicled in this “first-rate biography of a unique American thinker” (Mark Harvey, Journal of American History).   Born in 1879, Wilderness Society cofounder Benton MacKaye was a pioneer in linking the concepts of preservation and recreation. Spanning three-quarters of a century, his career had a major impact on emerging movements in conservation, environmentalism, and regional planning. MacKaye's seminal ideas on outdoor recreation, wilderness protection, land-use planning, community development, and transportation have inspired generations of activists, professionals, and adventurers seeking to strike a harmonious balance between human need and the natural environment.   This pathbreaking biography provides the first complete portrait of this significant figure in American environmental, intellectual, and cultural history. Drawing on extensive research, Larry Anderson traces MacKaye's extensive career, examines his many published works, and describes the importance of MacKaye's relationships with such influential figures as Lewis Mumford, Aldo Leopold, and Walter Lippmann.

  Billions of people around the globe use various applications of spatial computing daily—by using a ride-sharing app, GPS, the e911 system, social media check-ins, even Pokémon Go. Scientists and researchers use spatial computing to track diseases, map the bottom of the oceans, chart the behavior of endangered species, and create election maps in real time. Drones and driverless cars use a variety of spatial computing technologies. Spatial computing works by understanding the physical world, knowing and communicating our relation to places in that world, and navigating through those places. It has changed our lives and infrastructures profoundly, marking a significant shift in how we make our way in the world.The book offers accessible descriptions of GPS and location-based services, including the use of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and RFID for position determination out of satellite range; remote sensing, which uses satellite and aerial platforms to monitor such varied phenomena as global food production, the effects of climate change, and subsurface natural resources on other planets; geographic information systems (GIS), which store, analyze, and visualize spatial data; spatial databases, which store multiple forms of spatial data; and spatial statistics and spatial data mining, used to analyze location-related data.

  Cosmic Impact - Understanding...

  Andrew May

  • 0

  As end-of-the-world scenarios go, an apocalyptic collision with an
  
  asteroid or comet is the new kid on the block, gaining respectability only in
  
  the last decade of the 20th century with the realisation that the dinosaurs had
  
  been wiped out by just such an impact.
  
   
  
  Now the science community is making up for lost time, with
  
  worldwide efforts to track the thousands of potentially hazardous near-Earth
  
  objects, and plans for high-tech hardware that could deflect an incoming object
  
  from a collision course – a procedure depicted, with little regard for
  
  scientific accuracy, in several Hollywood movies.
  
   
  
  Astrophysicist and science writer Andrew May disentangles
  
  fact from fiction in this fast-moving and entertaining account, covering the
  
  nature and history of comets and asteroids, the reason why some orbits are more
  
  hazardous than others, the devastating local and global effects that an impact
  
  event would produce, and – more optimistically – the way future space missions
  
  could avert a catastrophe.

  If someone asked you to name a major factor in better health, would you think imagination?  Probably not. Yet, as Martin Rossman points out, "The most common use of imagery is worrying," which shows us there's nothing mysterious about it at all.  Visualization and guided imagery have become integral elements in the growing field of mind/body medicine.
