Indeed, humans have killed hundreds of millions of birds--for science, fashion, curiosity, and myriad other reasons. In the United States alone, seven species of birds are now extinct and another ninety-three are endangered. Conversely, the U.S. conservation movement has made bird-watching more popular than ever, saving countless bird populations; and while the history of actual physical human interaction with birds is complicated, our long aesthetic and scientific interest in them is undeniable. Since the beginning of the modern conservation movement in the mid-nineteenth century, human understanding of and interaction with birds has changed profoundly. In Scarlet Experiment, Jeff Karnicky traces the ways in which birds have historically been seen as beautiful creatures worthy of protection and study and yet subject to experiments--scientific, literary, and governmental--that have irrevocably altered their relationship with humans. This examination of the management of bird life in America from the nineteenth century to today, which focuses on six bird species, finds that renderings of birds by such authors as Henry David Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, Don DeLillo, and Christopher Cokinos, have also influenced public perceptions and actions. Scarlet Experimentspeculates about the effects our decisions will have on the future of North American bird ecology"--Provided by publisher.Animals and civilizationUnited StatesHuman-animal relationshipsUnited StatesBirdsSocial aspectsUnited StatesAnimalsSocial aspectsUnited StatesElectronic books.Animals and civilizationHuman-animal relationshipsBirdsSocial aspectsAnimalsSocial aspects598.0973Karnicky Jeffrey980495MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466179903321Scarlet experiment2274958UNINA04699nam 2200481 450 991048440550332120220124091438.03-030-61905-210.1007/978-3-030-61905-3(CKB)4100000011931187(DE-He213)978-3-030-61905-3(MiAaPQ)EBC6623873(Au-PeEL)EBL6623873(OCoLC)1251766322(PPN)255882211(EXLCZ)99410000001193118720220124d2021 uy 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDigital anatomy applications of virtual, mixed and augmented reality /Jean-François Uhl [and three others], editors1st ed. 2021.Cham, Switzerland :Springer,[2021]©20211 online resource (XIV, 385 p. 218 illus., 202 illus. in color.)Human-computer interaction series3-030-61904-4 Chapter 1.

Virtual and augmented reality for educational anatomy.This book offers readers fresh insights on applying Extended Reality to Digital Anatomy, a novel emerging discipline. Indeed, the way professors teach anatomy in classrooms is changing rapidly as novel technology-based approaches become ever more accessible. Recent studies show that Virtual (VR), Augmented (AR), and Mixed-Reality (MR) can improve both retention and learning outcomes. Readers will find relevant tutorials about three-dimensional reconstruction techniques to perform virtual dissections. Several chapters serve as practical manuals for students and trainers in anatomy to refresh or develop their Digital Anatomy skills. We developed this book as a support tool for collaborative efforts around Digital Anatomy, especially in distance learning, international and interdisciplinary contexts. We aim to leverage source material in this book to support new Digital Anatomy courses and syllabi in interdepartmental, interdisciplinary collaborations. Digital Anatomy – Applications of Virtual, Mixed and Augmented Reality provides a valuable tool to foster cross-disciplinary dialogues between anatomists, surgeons, radiologists, clinicians, computer scientists, course designers, and industry practitioners. It is the result of a multidisciplinary exercise and will undoubtedly catalyze new specialties and collaborative Master and Doctoral level courses world-wide. In this perspective, the UNESCO Chair in digital anatomy was created at the Paris Descartes University in 2015 (www.anatomieunesco.org). It aims to federate the education of anatomy around university partners from all over the world, wishing to use these new 3D modeling techniques of the human body.Human-computer interaction series.Virtual reality in educationVirtual reality in education.371.33468Uhl Jean-FrançoisMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484405503321Digital Anatomy1902292UNINA
