Sommario/riassunto

This book offers a geospatial technology approach to data mining techniques, data analysis, modeling, risk assessment, and visualization, as well as management strategies in many elements of river basin risks. This book investigates cutting-edge techniques based on open source software and R statistical programming Google Earth Engine and modeling in modern artificial intelligence techniques, with a particular emphasis on recent trends in data mining techniques and robust modeling in river basin management. It includes significant issues such as geomorphological hazards, climate change, catastrophic natural disasters, meteorological and agricultural drought monitoring, landslides or mudslides (mudflow), floods and flash floods, soil erosion, and land degradation. This book's contents are of interest to earth and environmental scientists, professionals, and policymakers. The book examines spatial modeling, risk evaluation of a drainage basin in the domain of environmental and social issues, management, and associated research. Due to poorly understood climate change and unclear man-made activity, there are several problems and uncertainties in studying earth's environmental circumstances, making it exceedingly difficult to analyze and make knowledgeable judgments. Many difficulties, on the other hand, are caused by mismanagement of present and future land, water, and forestry resources. It is also critical to use new technology and methods to improve and reinforce environmental protection. The link between the three devices, namely remote sensing (RS), GIS, and the R programming interface, is acknowledged in this respect. Land conservation measures, soil and water quality control, and new rules should all rely on correct measurements and predictions, and three technologies (RS, GIS, and R) and open access quantitative forecasting methodologies help with climate change and better management regulations. Nonetheless, this book serves as a feasible framework for studying current breakthroughs in geospatial artificial intelligence technologies and their relevance to the planet's environmental and socioeconomic concerns in a single volume.

Sommario/riassunto

The only book of its kind, The New Inquisitions is an exhilarating investigation into the intellectual origins of totalitarianism. Arthur Versluis unveils the connections between heretic hunting in early and medieval Christianity, and the emergence of totalitarianism in the twentieth century.He shows how secular political thinkers in the nineteenth century inaugurated a tradition of defending the Inquisition, and how Inquisition-style heretic-hunting later manifested across the spectrum of twentieth-century totalitarianism. An exceptionally wide-ranging work, The New Inquisitionsbegins with early Christianity, and traces heretic-hunting as a phenomenon through the middle ages and right into the twentieth century, showing how the same inquisitional modes of thought recur both on the political Left and on the political Right.
