Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The Academy Award–winning director of Free Solo and National Geographic photographer presents the first collection of his iconic adventure photography, featuring some of the greatest moments of the most accomplished climbers and outdoor athletes in the world, and including more than 200 extraordinary photographs. “An extraordinary work of art.”—Jon Krakauer Filmmaker, photographer, and world-class mountaineer Jimmy Chin goes where few can follow to capture stunning images in death-defying situations. There and Back draws from his breathtaking portfolio of photographs, captured over twenty years during cutting-edge expeditions on all seven continents—from skiing Mount Everest, to an unsupported traverse of Tibet's Chang Tang Plateau on foot, to first ascents in Chad’s Ennedi Desert and Antarctica’s Queen Maud Land. Along the way, Chin shares behind-the-scenes details about how he captured such astounding images in impossible conditions, and tells the stories of the legendary adventurers and remarkable athletes he has photographed, including Alex Honnold, the star of his Academy Award–winning documentary film Free Solo; ski mountaineer Kit DesLauriers; snowboarder Travis Rice; and mountaineers Conrad Anker and Yvon Chouinard. These larger-than-life images, coupled with stories of outsized drive and passion, of impossible goals with life or death stakes, of partnerships forged through incredible hardship, are sure to inspire wonder and awe.

Download or read book Strongly Coupled Plasma Physics written by Forrest J. Rogers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Strongly Coupled Plasma Physics was held on the Santa Cruz Campus of the University of California, from August 4 through August 9, 1986. It was attended by 80 participants from 13 countries, 45 of whom were invited speakers. The present volume contains the texts of the invited talks and many of the contributed papers. The relative length of each text is roughly proportional to the length of the workshop presentation. The aim of the workshop was to bring together leading researchers from a number of related disciplines in which strong Coulomb interactions play a dominant role. Compared to the 1977 meeting in Orleans-la-Source, France and the 1982 meeting in Les-Houches, France, it is apparent that the field of strongly coupled plasmas has expanded greatly and has become a very significant field of physics with a wide range of applications. This workshop had a far greater participation of experimental researchers than did the previous two, and some confrontations of real experiments with theoretical calculations occurred. In the two earlier meetings the theoretical presentations were dominated by numerical simulations of static and dynamic properties of various strongly coupled plasmas. The dearth of experiments in the 1970's is now replaced by some very good experimental efforts.

Download or read book The Handbook on Socially Interactive Agents written by Birgit Lugrin and published by Morgan & Claypool. This book was released on 2022-10-19 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook on Socially Interactive Agents provides a comprehensive overview of the research fields of Embodied Conversational Agents;Intelligent Virtual Agents;and Social Robotics. Socially Interactive Agents (SIAs);whether virtually or physically embodied;are autonomous agents that are able to perceive an environment including people or other agents;reason;decide how to interact;and express attitudes such as emotions;engagement;or empathy. They are capable of interacting with people and one another in a socially intelligent manner using multimodal communicative behaviors;with the goal to support humans in various domains. Written by international experts in their respective fields;the book summarizes research in the many important research communities pertinent for SIAs;while discussing current challenges and future directions. The handbook provides easy access to modeling and studying SIAs for researchers and students;and aims at further bridging the gap between the research communities involved. In two volumes;the book clearly structures the vast body of research. The first volume starts by introducing what is involved in SIAs research;in particular research methodologies and ethical implications of developing SIAs. It further examines research on appearance and behavior;focusing on multimodality. Finally;social cognition for SIAs is investigated using different theoretical models and phenomena such as theory of mind or pro-sociality. The second volume starts with perspectives on interaction;examined from different angles such as interaction in social space;group interaction;or long-term interaction. It also includes an extensive overview summarizing research and systems of human–agent platforms and of some of the major application areas of SIAs such as education;aging support;autism;and games.

Book excerpt: Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness... This is the Akashic Record account of the last days of Atlantis. The story of the Solar System's Third Progenitor, from the Constellation Boote, in the Star System Arcturus. She, a Master Being motivated only by love and compassion for all life, dedicates herself tirelessly and relentlessly to guiding evolving animal life forms tenuously on the razors edge between Man and Ape, on the planet known to The Intergalatic Federation of Sovereign Planets as Gaia. The planet we know as Earth. Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. The Arctureans emotional needs cause them to throw aside prohibitions against fraternizing with their creations and intermarry the genetically enhanced Gaians of Atlantis, producing progeny of high spiritual potential. There is a dark side to the laison between the gods and the daughters of men. Dark animal drives, predatory instincts, lust, greed and cruelty fail to breed out and become supercharged evil thanks to the genes of the gods. Hister is born a prodigy of malevolent evil. He leads Children of Darkness and usurps power in Atlantis. Subverting the awesome nurturing power of The Crystal, Hister turns it into an engine of destruction for World domination. It backfires Hister succeeds in destroying his enemies but in the process destroys himself, Atlantis and World civilization. Seraphis, while rushing on his Flying Platen to the Crystal City in an attempt to prevent Hister from destroying the world... is too late... the Anti-gravity network fails and Seraphis falls 10,000 feet out of the sky to his death. Or did he...DIE? He stands by an eviscerated mass of human flesh and knows it is HIS body! What happened? What does he do now?
