Sommario/riassunto |
|
In this wide-ranging exploration of the role of forests in Western thought, Robert Pogue Harrison enriches our understanding not only of the forest's place in the cultural imagination of the West, but also of the ecological dilemmas that now confront us so urgently. Consistently insightful and beautifully written, this work is especially compelling at a time when the forest, as a source of wonder, respect, and meaning, disappears daily from the earth. "Forests is one of the most remarkable essays on the human place in nature I have ever read, and belongs on the small shelf that includes Raymond Williams' masterpiece, The Country and the City. Elegantly conceived, beautifully written, and powerfully argued, [Forests] is a model of scholarship at its passionate best. No one who cares about cultural history, about the human place in nature, or about the future of our earthly home, should miss it.-William Cronon, Yale Review "Forests is, among other things, a work of scholarship, and one of immense value . . . one that we have needed.

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Wireless Mobile Communication and Healthcare, MobiHealth 2012, and of the two workshops: Workshop on Advances in Personalized Healthcare Services, Wearable Mobile Monitoring, and Social Media Pervasive Technologies (APHS 2012), and Workshop on Advances in Wireless Physical Layer Communications for Emerging Healthcare Applications (IWAWPLC 2012), all held in Paris, France, in November 2012. The 39 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections covering wearable, outdoor and home-based applications; remote diagnosis and patient management; data processing; sensor devices and systems; biomedical monitoring in relation to society and the environment; body area networks; telemedicine systems for disease-specific applications; data collection and management; papers from the invited session "Implants"; papers from the IWAWPLC and APHS workshops. |
