Download or read book Hot Money written by Naomi Klein and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In twenty short books, Penguin brings you the classics of the environmental movement. In Hot Money Naomi Klein lays out the evidence that deregulated capitalism is waging war on the climate, and shows that, in order to stop the damage, we must change everything we think about how our world is run. Over the past 75 years, a new canon has emerged. As life on Earth has become irrevocably altered by humans, visionary thinkers around the world have raised their voices to defend the planet, and affirm our place at the heart of its restoration. Their words have endured through the decades, becoming the classics of a movement. Together, these books show the richness of environmental thought, and point the way to a fairer, saner, greener world.

Download or read book The Modal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics written by Dennis Dieks and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-10-31 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the modal interpretation, the standard mathematical framework of quantum mechanics specifies the physical magnitudes of a system, which have definite values. Probabilities are assigned to the possible values that these magnitudes may adopt. The interpretation is thus concerned with physical properties rather than with measurement results: it is a realistic interpretation (in the sense of scientific realism). One of the notable achievements of this interpretation is that it dissolves the notorious measurement problem. The papers collected here, together with the introduction and concluding critical appraisal, explain the various forms of the modal interpretation, survey its achievements, and discuss those problems that have yet to be solved. Audience: Philosophers of science, theoretical physicists, and graduate students in these disciplines.

Download or read book Structure and Function of an Alpine Ecosystem written by William D. Bowman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-04-26 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will provide a complete overview of an alpine ecosystem, based on the long-term research conducted at the Niwot Ridge LTER. There is, at present, no general book on alpine ecology. The alpine ecosystem features conditions near the limits of biological existence, and is a useful laboratory for asking more general ecological questions, because it offers large environmental change over relatively short distances. Factors such as macroclimate, microclimate, soil conditions, biota, and various biological factors change on differing scales, allowing insight into the relative contributions of the different factors on ecological outcomes.

Download or read book Joint and Double Degree Programs written by Daniel Obst and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years developments in the United States and Europe have created new opportunities for collaboration in higher education. Transatlantic degree programs such as dual diplomas, joint degrees and consortia have gained prominence in this field. Joint and double degree programs have long been a vital part of internationalisation strategies in European higher education, but in the North American context such programs have been less common until recently. This report features practical recommendations and detailed strategies for developing and delivering joint and double degree programs from higher education administrators and practitioners on both sides of the Atlantic.

Download or read book Adaptive Strategies and Population Ecology of Northern Grouse written by A. T. Bergerud and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 836 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Adaptive Strategies and Population Ecology of Northern Grouse" was first published in 1988. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. This book is at once a major reference to the species of grouse that inhabit North America and the Holarctic and a synthesis of all the available data on their ecology, sociobiology, population dynamics, and management. The book undertakes to answer two long-standing questions in population ecology: what actually regulates the numbers within a population, and what are the breeding and survival strategies evolved in this northern environment? For Volume I, editors Arthur T. Bergerud and Michael W. Gratson have drawn together their own work and that of colleagues in North America, Iceland, and Norway--in all, eleven research studies, averaging six years' duration, on eight species of grouse. These studies deal with the blue and ruffed grouse of the forest habitat; the sharp-tailed grouse, prairie chicken, and sage grouse of the prairie or steppe; and the white-tailed, rick, and willow ptarmigan found in alpine and arctic tundras. The authors describe the rich repertoire of behavior patterns developed by the hen and the cock to achieve their two primary objectives--first, to stay alive, and then to breed. Volume II, primarily the work of Bergerud, synthesizes the evidence in Volume I and in the grouse research literature from a theoretical perspective. Several potentially controversial sociobiological hypotheses are advanced to account for flocking behavior, migration, dispersal, roosting and feeding behavior, mate choice and mating systems. The demographic analysis provides new insights into cycles of abundance, the limitation of numbers, and the demographic factors that determine densities. The contributors, besides Bergerud and Gratson: R.C. Davies, A. Gardarson, J.E. Hartzler, R.A. Huempfner, D.A. Jenni, D.H. Mossop, S. Myrberget, R.E. Page, R.K. Schmidt, W.D. Svedarsky, and J.R.

Download or read book GANs in Action written by Vladimir Bok and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-09-09 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep learning systems have gotten really great at identifying patterns in text, images, and video. But applications that create realistic images, natural sentences and paragraphs, or native-quality translations have proven elusive. Generative Adversarial Networks, or GANs, offer a promising solution to these challenges by pairing two competing neural networks' one that generates content and the other that rejects samples that are of poor quality. GANs in Action: Deep learning with Generative Adversarial Networks teaches you how to build and train your own generative adversarial networks. First, you'll get an introduction to generative modelling and how GANs work, along with an overview of their potential uses. Then, you'll start building your own simple adversarial system, as you explore the foundation of GAN architecture: the generator and discriminator networks. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Curriculum has been with us since 1988 and yet it continues to arouse controversy and disquiet. In this collection, major educationalists debate its history, purpose, achievements and future direction. Some of the contributors write from first-hand experience of the original development, but while Eric Bolton and Chris Woodhead are largely satisfied with the result, Paul Black believes that the drive for simple tests could undermine all its achievements. Other analyses of the overall context and shape of The National Curriculum draw on academic and school perspectives, including that of Paul Hirst who questions the place of subjects at the centre of its structure.
