DEMs are a primary input to any modeling or process quantification involving the earth's topography and are used across several areas of development. Access to elevation, and slope maps enable responders to assess where floods will infill the landscape, create inaccessible areas, or create health risks, example, cholera. DEMs are also used prominently in infrastructure planning and mapping; road design and construction for transportation; urban environmental planning to assess construction, drainage, and green landscaping; agriculture planting and irrigation strategies; ecological modeling to assess ecosystem flora and fauna; and geological applications such as seismic and coastal monitoring. Accurate elevation information is therefore key for a wide range of development projects related to poverty reduction, urban development, water management, and other concerns. Thus, the ability to design and commission or acquire DEMs is increasing in relevance across the globe. This DEMs guidance note aims to: (a) provide sufficient information to understand the overall processes involved in the acquisition of DEMs and their uses, and (b) inform and guide the decision-making criteria; different design and implementation strategies; and options and costs that exist when acquiring DEMs.Risk and Vulnerability Assessment.World Bank e-Library.Digital Elevation Models Digital mappingStandardsUnited StatesAltitudesDigital mappingStandards.Croneborg Louise1426403Caruso Vincent M.Geological Survey (U.S.),DJBFDJBFBOOK9910708339603321Digital Elevation Models3557712UNINA03753nam 22005892 450 991081122000332120170711111101.01-78138-970-51-78138-730-31-78138-593-9(CKB)3710000000529416(EBL)4545550(SSID)ssj0001500265(PQKBManifestationID)12518099(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001500265(PQKBWorkID)11521469(PQKB)10282922(StDuBDS)EDZ0001111438(UkCbUP)CR9781781385937(Au-PeEL)EBL4545550(CaPaEBR)ebr11237410(OCoLC)953922169(MiAaPQ)EBC4545550(EXLCZ)99371000000052941620170307d2014|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe colonial system unveiled /by Baron de Vastey ; translated and edited by Chris Bongie[electronic resource]Liverpool :Liverpool University Press,2014.1 online resource (x, 329 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 07 Jul 2017).1-78138-304-9 1-78138-031-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.Preface: Baron de Vastey and Post/Revolutionary Haiti -- Jean Louis Vastey (1781-1820): A biographical sketch -- Introduction -- (1820) Death of a scribe -- (1814): The colonial system restored -- (1814-2014): Reading the Protean text -- The colonial system unveiled -- Supplementary Essays -- Monstrous testimony: Baron de Vastey and the politics of Black memory / Marlene Daul -- Abolition, sentiment, and the problem of agency in Le système colonial dévoilé / Doris Garraway -- Memories of development: Le système colonial dévoilé and the performance of literacy / Chris Bongie -- Afterword: Vastey and the system of colonial violence / Nick Nesbitt.<p>Long neglected in mainstream history books, the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) is now being claimed across a range of academic disciplines as an event of world-historical importance. The former slaves' victory over their French masters and the creation of the independent nation of Haiti in 1804 is being newly heralded not only as a seminal moment in the transnational formation of the 'black Atlantic' but as the most far-reaching manifestation of 'Radical Enlightenment'.</p><br> The best known Haitian writer to emerge in the years after the revolution is Baron de Vastey (1781-1820), who authored over ten books and pamphlets between 1814 and his murder in 1820. His first and most incendiary work, Le système colonial dévoilé (1814), provides a moving invocation of the horrors of slavery in pre-revolutionary Saint-Domingue. Its trailblazing critique of colonialism anticipates by over a hundred years the anticolonial politics (and poetics) of Césaire, Fanon, and Sartre. <p></p><br> Translated here for the first time, Vastey's forceful unveiling of the colonial system will be compulsory reading for scholars across the humanities.<br> <p></p>SlaveryHaitiHistoryHaitiHistoryRevolution, 1791-1804SlaveryHistory.972.9403MI 80086rvkVastey Pompée-Valentinbaron de,-1820?1688034Bongie Chris1688035UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910811220003321The colonial system unveiled4061976UNINA
