Lewis and historian Kären Wigen reexamine the basic geographical divisions we take for granted, and challenge the unconscious spatial frameworks that govern the way we perceive the world. Arguing that notions of East vs. West, First World vs. Third World, and even the sevenfold continental system are simplistic and misconceived, the authors trace the history of such misconceptions. Their up-to-the-minute study reflects both on the global scale and its relation to the specific continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa-actually part of one contiguous landmass.The Myth of Continents sheds new light on how our metageographical assumptions grew out of cultural concepts: how the first continental divisions developed from classical times; how the Urals became the division between the so-called continents of Europe and Asia; how countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan recently shifted macroregions in the general consciousness.This extremely readable and thought-provoking analysis also explores the ways that new economic regions, the end of the cold war, and the proliferation of communication technologies change our understanding of the world. It stimulates thinking about the role of large-scale spatial constructs as driving forces behind particular worldviews and encourages everyone to take a more thoughtful, geographically informed approach to the task of describing and interpreting the human diversity of the planet. 606 $aGeographical perception 606 $aGeopolitics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGeographical perception. 615 0$aGeopolitics. 676 $a304.2 700 $aLewis$b Martin W$0214532 701 $aWigen$b Ka?ren$f1958-$01011841 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462074103321 996 $aThe myth of continents$92472955 997 $aUNINA LEADER 07250nam 2200733 450 001 9910139045103321 005 20221206183256.0 010 $a1-118-64713-0 010 $a1-118-64705-X 010 $a1-118-64714-9 024 7 $a10.1002/9781118647059 035 $a(CKB)2550000001064617 035 $a(EBL)1216195 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000915398 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11562302 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000915398 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10868910 035 $a(PQKB)11551416 035 $a(CaBNVSL)mat08040289 035 $a(IDAMS)0b00006485f0e9c5 035 $a(IEEE)8040289 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1216195 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10722526 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL499134 035 $a(PPN)175644535 035 $a(OCoLC)849928789 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1216195 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001064617 100 $a20171024d2008 uy 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aBuilding the internet of things with IPv6 and MIPv6 $ethe evolving world of M2m communications /$fDaniel Minoli 210 1$aHoboken, New Jersey :$cWiley,$d[2013] 210 2$a[Piscataqay, New Jersey] :$cIEEE Xplore,$d[2013] 215 $a1 online resource (391 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-118-47347-7 311 $a1-299-67884-X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a-- PREFACE xiii / / ABOUT THE AUTHOR xvii -- 1 WHAT IS THE INTERNET OF THINGS?

It combines the knowledge dispersed widely in existing literature with regional case studies, color figures and photographs. The chapters provide a useful basis to understand alluvial fans and a selection of papers attached to each chapter offers additional, more focused reading. This volume is aimed at engineers, planners and especially students in earth sciences. . 606 $aSedimentology 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aSoil science 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aSedimentology 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aSoil Science 606 $aPhysical Geography 606 $aNatural Hazards 615 0$aSedimentology. 615 0$aGeomorphology. 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 14$aSedimentology. 615 24$aGeomorphology. 615 24$aSoil Science. 615 24$aPhysical Geography. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 676 $a363.3493 700 $aBowman$b Dan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0954551 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337899503321 996 $aPrinciples of Alluvial Fan Morphology$92159157 997 $aUNINA
