Cartographic Index and History of Road Sites that Face Natural Hazards in the Province of TurinSpatial analysis is an increasingly important tool for detecting and preventing numerous risk and crisis phenomena such as floods in a geographical area. This book concentrates on examples of prevention but also gives crisis control advice and practical case studies. Some chapters address urban applications in which vulnerabilities are concentrated in area; others address more rural areas with more scattered phenomena.ISTEHuman geographyMathematical modelsEnvironmental degradationMathematical modelsEnvironmental degradationStatistical methodsGeographic information systemsElectronic books.Human geographyMathematical models.Environmental degradationMathematical models.Environmental degradationStatistical methods.Geographic information systems.304.23363.3401/1Brugnot Gérard856053MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910139514103321Spatial management of risks1911271UNINA03136nam 2200697 a 450 991095633050332120251117082540.01-315-42039-21-315-42040-61-315-42041-41-59874-775-410.4324/9781315420417 (CKB)2550000000017924(EBL)677821(OCoLC)647927348(SSID)ssj0000487261(PQKBManifestationID)11325051(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000487261(PQKBWorkID)10441907(PQKB)10939249(MiAaPQ)EBC677821(Au-PeEL)EBL677821(CaPaEBR)ebr10386158(OCoLC)956466793(FINmELB)ELB160946(EXLCZ)99255000000001792420070810d2007 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrScoping the Amazon image, icon, ethnography /Stephen Nugent1st ed.Walnut Creek, CA Left Coast Pressc20071 online resource (262 p.)First published 2007 by Left Coast Press.1-59874-177-2 1-59874-176-4 Includes bibliographical references (p. 227-247) and index.Introduction: Anthropology with pictures -- The head hunter cliche -- Visualizing social memory : race, class and ethnicity in Amazonia -- The tropic of Amazon : missing peoples and lingering metaphors -- The professional literature : 'what I saw in the tropics' -- Method and data : framing Indians -- Amazonia on screen : building a lost world -- Conclusion.The Amazon Indian is an icon that straddles the world between the professional anthropologist and the popular media. Presented alternately as the noble primitive, the savior of the environment, and as a savage, dissolute, cannibalistic half-human, it is an image well worth examining. Stephen Nugent does just that, critiquing the claims of authoritativeness inherent in visual images presented by anthropologists of Amazon life in the early 20th century and comparing them with the images found in popular books, movies, and posters.
