Download or read book Heavy Ground written by Norris Hundley and published by University of Nevada Press. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minutes before midnight on March 12, 1928, the St. Francis Dam collapsed, sending more than twelve billion gallons of water surging through Southern California’s Santa Clara Valley, killing some four hundred people and causing the greatest civil engineering disaster in twentieth-century American history. In this carefully researched work, Norris Hundley jr. and Donald C. Jackson provide a riveting narrative exploring the history of the ill-fated dam and the person directly responsible for its flawed design—William Mulholland, a self-taught engineer of the Los Angeles municipal water system. Employing copious illustrations and intensive research, Heavy Ground traces the interwoven roles of politics and engineering in explaining how the St. Francis Dam came to be built and the reasons for its collapse. Hundley and Jackson also detail the terror and heartbreak brought by the flood, legal claims against the City of Los Angeles, efforts to restore the Santa Clara Valley, political factors influencing investigations of the failure, and the effect of the disaster on congressional approval of the future Hoover Dam. Underlying it all is a consideration of how the dam—and the disaster—were inextricably intertwined with the life and career of William Mulholland. Ultimately, this thoughtful and nuanced account of the dam’s failure reveals how individual and bureaucratic conceit fed Los Angeles’s desire to control vital water supplies in the booming metropolis of Southern California.

Download or read book Ethical Considerations of Virtual Reality in the College Classroom written by Melody Bowdon and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethical Considerations of Virtual Reality in the College Classroom collects case studies that address both pedagogical and ethical foundations of extended reality tools in postsecondary learning environments across disciplines. With today’s institutional programs and faculty leveraging cutting-edge virtual, augmented, and mixed reality opportunities to teach and promote achievement goals, it is imperative that new research into these technologies speaks directly to their challenges and affordances within broad academic settings. This book showcases real-world examples of faculty members who chronicle and develop their use of VR tools across learning contexts and student populations by creating their own digital experiences, adapting open-source tools, integrating commercial products, amplifying crucial course content, analyzing outcomes data, and more. Nontechnical readers will come away with a new understanding of key terms and concepts associated with virtual reality and essential heuristics for evaluating the ethical implications of immersive approaches.

Download or read book Environmental Studies written by Daniel B. Botkin and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of environmental studies integrates many disciplines in the study of our environment. It includes some fo the most important applied topics of modern civilization as well as some of the oldest philosophical concerns of human beings -- that is, the nature of our relationship to our surroundings. Both applied and basic aspects require a solid foundation in the natural sciences (including biology, geology, geography, oceanography, soil science, hydrology and climatology). We must also be aware of the cultural and historical context in which we make decisions about our environment and understand the ways in which choices are made and implemented. Thus, the field of environmental studies integrates the natural sciences with environmental ethics, environmental economics, environmental law, and planning. Environmental Studies: The Earth as a Living Planet attempts to examine the entire spectrum of relationships between people and environment. Because this text is an introduction to environmental studies, you do not need any prerequisites in the sciences or humanities.
