Review Remote Sensing of Forest Environments: Concepts and Case Studies / Springer:Successful remote sensing methods and applications are rooted in the science, art, and technology of earth observation, part of the larger emerging world of geographical information science. Sensors are increasingly sensitive to the phenomena we wish to observe and image analysis systems are increasingly able to transform the data and deliver the required information. At the same time, advances in forest science and management continue to develop momentum. A renewed commitment to understanding forests at different scales and with a process-based perspective has helped generate demand for information about forests that is feasibly acquired only by remote sensing. Remote Sensing of Forest Environments: Concepts and Case Studies is an edited volume intended to provide readers with a state-of-the-art synopsis of the current methods and applied applications employed in remote sensing the world's forests. The contributing authors have sought to illustrate and deepen our understanding of remote sensing of forests, providing new insights and indicating opportunities that are created when forests and forest practices are considered in concert with the evolving paradigm of remote sensing science. Following background and methods sections, this book introduces a series of case studies that exemplify the ways in which remotely sensed data are operationally used, as an element of the decision-making process, and in the scientific study of forests. Remote Sensing of Forest Environments: Concepts and Case Studies is designed to meet the needs of a professional audience composed of both practitioners and researchers. This book is also suitable as a secondary text for graduate-level students in Forestry, Environmental Science, Geography, Engineering, and Computer Science.

Review Data Visualization: The State of the Art (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science) / Springer:Data visualization is currently a very active and vital area of research, teaching and development. The term unites the established field of scientific visualization and the more recent field of information visualization. The success of data visualization is due to the soundness of the basic idea behind it: the use of computer-generated images to gain insight and knowledge from data and its inherent patterns and relationships. A second premise is the utilization of the broad bandwidth of the human sensory system in steering and interpreting complex processes, and simulations involving data sets from diverse scientific disciplines and large collections of abstract data from many sources. These concepts are extremely important and have a profound and widespread impact on the methodology of computational science and engineering, as well as on management and administration. The interplay between various application areas and their specific problem solving visualization techniques is emphasized in this book. Reflecting the heterogeneous structure of Data Visualization, emphasis was placed on these topics: -Visualization Algorithms and Techniques; -Volume Visualization; -Information Visualization; -Multiresolution Techniques; -Interactive Data Exploration. Data Visualization: The State of the Art presents the state of the art in scientific and information visualization techniques by experts in this field. It can serve as an overview for the inquiring scientist, and as a basic foundation for developers. This edited volume contains chapters dedicated to surveys of specific topics, and a great deal of original work not previously published illustrated by examples from a wealth of applications. [+]The book will also provide basic material for teaching the state of the art techniques in data visualization. The companion CD-ROM contains all chapters in digital form with illustrations in color, as well as additional high-quality images and movies. Data Visualization: The State of the Art is designed to meet the needs of practitioners and researchers in scientific and information visualization. This book is also suitable as a secondary text for graduate level students in computer science and engineering.

Review The Law of Defamation and the Internet / Oxford University Press, USA:The Internet has revolutionized the way in which we communicate. It is, at the same time, both a bastion of free speech and a medium of potentially limitless defamation. The first edition of The Law of Defamation and the Internet quickly became the standard text for media and information technology practitioners and students seeking to understand this novel and growing area of the law. It attracted wide praise in England, the United States and Australia for its clarity and practical approach. The second edition will build on the strengths of the first. As well as comprehensively updating the law, the coverage of European and American law is substantially expanded, as is the coverage of "hot" topics such as liability for linking and framing, and jurisdiction over foreign publications.

Review 3-D Computer Graphics Perspective Drawing With the Computer / Entelek, Incorporated:This book begins with an introduction to the principles of perspective drawing and the necessary linear algebraic theory. It moves on to art concepts such as composition and balance, and shows you how to draw shadows and even 3-D pictures using stereo pairs. Only high school algebra is required. The practical applications are demonstrated with easy-to-follow BASIC programs. Art is hard work and the techniques of perspective drawing are probably the most tedious of all. Fortunately, computer technology has opened the door to an entirely new way of executing perspective drawings. Small computers can be used to compose and sketch scenes without ever putting a pencil to paper. The new technology generates drawings that would give manual artists nightmares. True, computers capable of perspective drawing are already in wide use, but this is the first book to show you how to design the necessary programs. Only high school algebra is necessary to master the theory. [+]The practical applications at the end of each chapter include BASIC programs ready to run. Profusely illustrated. 150 pp.
