About the Author: Jerry Brotton is a British historian. He is Professor of Renaissance Studies at Queen Mary University of London, a television and radio presenter and a curator.
Brotton writes about literature, history, material culture, trade, and east-west relations, particularly in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. He employs interdisciplinary approaches, looking at art, politics, history, travel writing and literature. His book A History of the World in Twelve Maps (Allen Lane, 2012) has been translated into twelve languages.[citation needed] It was accompanied by a three-part series on BBC Four, Maps: Power, Plunder and Possession.[1] His The Sale of the Late King’s Goods: Charles I and His Art Collection (Macmillan, 2006) was nominated for the Samuel Johnson Prize (now the Baillie Gifford Prize). It wryly proposes that the dispersal of Charles I’s art collection in 1649 was a democratic move, one that merits imitation in the contemporary world. His 2016 book This Orient Isle: Elizabethan England and the Islamic World (London: Allen Lane, 2016) was serialised on BBC Radio 4 and won the Historical Writers Association Non-Fiction Crown (2017).

A History of the World in 12 Maps book pdf download By Jerry Brotton

A fascinating look at twelve maps—from Ancient Greece to Google Earth—and how they changed our world In this masterful study, historian and cartography expert Jerry Brotton explores a dozen of history’s most influential maps, from stone tablet to vibrant computer screen. Starting with Ptolemy, “father of modern geography,” and ending with satellite cartography, A History of the World in 12 Maps brings maps from classical Greece, Renaissance Europe, and the Islamic and Buddhist worlds to life and reveals their influence on how we—literally—look at our present world. As Brotton shows, the long road to our present geographical reality was rife with controversy, manipulation, and special interests trumping science. Through the centuries maps have been wielded to promote any number of imperial, religious, and economic agendas, and have represented the idiosyncratic and uneasy fusion of science and subjectivity. Brotton also conjures the worlds that produced these notable works of cartography and tells the stories of those who created, used, and misused them for their own ends.

La storia del mondo in dodici mappe book pdf download By Jerry Brotton

Nel corso della storia le carte geografiche hanno modellato la nostra visione del mondo e il posto che vi occupiamo. In questo brillante libro, Jerry Brotton sostiene che, lungi dall’essere meri strumenti della scienza, le mappe del mondo sono inevitabilmente descrizioni parziali e soggettive, intimamente legate ai sistemi di potere, all’autorità e alla creatività di tempi e luoghi particolari. I disegnatori di mappe non si limitano a raffigurare il mondo, lo costruiscono sulla base delle idee vigenti nella loro epoca. Questo libro analizza il significato di dodici mappe del mondo, a partire dalle rappresentazioni della storia antica e per finire con le immagini satellitari contemporanee. Ricrea vividamente gli ambienti e le circostanze in cui queste carte sono state create, mostrando come ciascuna di esse trasmetta un’immagine estremamente personale del mondo: la prospettiva cristiana centrata su Gerusalemme della mappamundi di Hereford del quattordicesimo secolo; la più antica mappa coreana che mostra la terra intera, compresa l’Europa; la prima autentica visione del mondo globalizzato del portoghese Diogo Ribeiro agli inizi del sedicesimo secolo; la proiezione negli anni settanta del Novecento che aveva l’ambizione di dare uguale dignità al “terzo mondo”; e il pianeta secondo Google. Brotton rivela come ogni mappa abbia tanto influenzato quantoriflesso gli eventi contemporanei e come, leggendole, si possano meglio comprendere le civiltà che le hanno prodotte. Sebbene il modo in cui mappiamo ciò che ci circonda stia cambiando di nuovo sensibilmente, secondo Brotton le carte di oggi non sono da considerarsi più definitive o oggettive di un tempo: continuano a ricreare e mediare la nostra concezione del mondo. Dopo aver terminato questo libro, i lettori non potranno più guardare a una mappa come prima.

Remote Sensing of Impervious Surfaces book pdf download By Qihao Weng

Remote sensing of impervious surfaces has matured using advances in geospatial technology so recent that its applications have received only sporadic coverage in remote sensing literature. Remote Sensing of Impervious Surfaces is the first to focus entirely on this developing field. It provides detailed coverage of mapping, data extraction, and modeling techniques specific to analyzing impervious surfaces, such as roads and buildings. Written by renowned experts in the field, this book reviews the major approaches that apply to this emerging field as well as current challenges, developments, and trends. The authors introduce remote sensing digital image processing techniques for estimating and mapping impervious surfaces in urban and rural areas. Presenting the latest modeling tools and algorithms for data extraction and analysis, the book explains how to differentiate roads, roofs, and other manmade structures from remotely sensed images for individual analysis. The final chapters examine how to use impervious surface data for predicting the flow of storm- or floodwater and studying trends in population, land use, resource distribution, and other real-world applications in environmental, urban, and regional planning. Each chapter offers a consistent format including a concise review of basic concepts and methodologies, timely case studies, and guidance for solving problems and analyzing data using the techniques presented.

Advances in Environmental Remote Sensing book pdf download By Qihao Weng

Generating a satisfactory classification image from remote sensing data is not a straightforward task. Many factors contribute to this difficulty including the characteristics of a study area, availability of suitable remote sensing data, ancillary and ground reference data, proper use of variables and classification algorithms, and the analyst’s experience. An authoritative text, Advances in Environmental Remote Sensing: Sensors, Algorithms, and Applications compiles comprehensive review articles to examine the developments in concepts, methods, techniques, and applications as well as focused articles and case studies on the latest on a particular topic. Divided into four sections, the first deals with various sensors, systems, or sensing operations using different regions of wavelengths. Drawing on the data and lessons learned from the U.S. Landsat remote sensing programs, it reviews key concepts, methods, and practical uses of particular sensors/sensing systems. Section II presents new developments in algorithms and techniques, specifically in image preprocessing, thematic information extraction, and digital change detection. It gives correction algorithms for hyperspectral, thermal, and multispectral sensors, discusses the combined method for performing topographic and atmospheric corrections, and provides examples of correcting non-standard atmospheric conditions, including haze, cirrus, and cloud shadow. Section III focuses on remote sensing of vegetation and related features of the Earth’s surface. It reviews advancements in the remote sensing of ecosystem structure, process, and function, and notes important trade-offs and compromises in characterizing ecosystems from space related to spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions of the imaging sensors. It discusses the mismatch between leaf-level and species-level ecological variables and satellite spatial resolutions and the resulting difficulties in validating satellite-derived products. Finally, Section IV examines developments in the remote sensing of air, water, and other terrestrial features, reviews MODIS algorithms for aerosol retrieval at both global and local scales, and demonstrates the retrieval of aerosol optical thickness (AOT). This section rounds out coverage with a look at remote sensing approaches to measure the urban environment and examines the most important concepts and recent research.
