These are characters of our national imagination, athletes who stand as symbols of our complex relationship with professional sport. In this erudite and captivating book, bestselling author Larry Platt takes us on a tour through American sports. Offering profiles of the athletes we love (and love to hate), Platt shows that sport, more than any other nationwide pastime, is the way we come to understand-and alter-race relations, gender, and, most profoundly, how we communicate with each ot 606 $aAthletes$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aSports$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAthletes 615 0$aSports$xSocial aspects 676 $a306.4/83/08996073 700 $aPlatt$b Larry$01033880 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460151003321 996 $aNew jack jocks$92452669 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04503nam 22005295 450 001 9910254131203321 005 20200701163439.0 010 $a9783319417585 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-41758-5 035 $a(CKB)3710000000891722 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-41758-5 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4710273 035 $a(PPN)196325633 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000891722 100 $a20161004d2016 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aSpatial Modeling Principles in Earth Sciences /$fby Zekai Sen 205 $a2nd ed. 2016. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2016. 215 $a1 online resource (XII, 413 p. 212 illus.) 311 $a3-319-41756-8 311 $a3-319-41758-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index. 327 $aIntroduction -- Sampling and Deterministic Modeling Methods -- Temporal and Point Uncertainty Modeling -- Classical Spatial Variation Models in Earth sciences -- Spatial Dependence Measures -- Spatial Modeling -- Spatial Simulation -- Index. . 330 $aThis is a revised and updated second edition, including new chapters on temporal and point uncertainty model, as well as on sampling and deterministic modeling. It is a comprehensive presentation of spatial modeling techniques used in the earth sciences, outlining original techniques developed by the author. Data collection in the earth sciences is difficult and expensive, but simple, rational and logical approaches help the reader to appreciate the fundamentals of advanced methodologies. It requires special care to gather accurate geological, hydrogeological, meteorological and hydrological information all with risk assessments. Spatial simulation methodologies in the earth sciences are essential, then, if we want to understand the variability in features such as fracture frequencies, rock quality, and grain size distribution in rock and porous media. This book outlines in a detailed yet accessible way the main spatial modeling techniques, in particular the Kriging methodology. It also presents many unique physical approaches, field cases, and sample interpretations. Since Kriging?s origin in the 1960s it has been developed into a number of new methods such as cumulative SV (CSV), point CSV (PCSV), and spatial dependence function, which have been applied in different aspects of the earth sciences. Each one of these techniques is explained in this book, as well as how they are used to model earth science phenomena such as geology, earthquakes, meteorology, and hydrology. In addition to Kriging and its variants, several alternatives to Kriging methodology are presented and the necessary steps in their applications are clearly explained. Simple spatial variation prediction methodologies are also revised with up-to-date literature, and the ways in which they relate to more advanced spatial modeling methodologies are explained. The book is a valuable resource for students, researchers and professionals of a broad range of disciplines including geology, geography, hydrology, meteorology, environment, image processing, spatial modeling and related topics.
