The global importance of mountains is recognized particularly because they provide critical resources, such as water, food and wood; contain high levels of biological and cultural diversity; and are often places for tourism and recreation and/or of sacred significance. This major revision of Larry Price's book Mountains and Man (1981) is both timely and highly appropriate. The past three decades have been a period of remarkable progress in our understanding of mountains from an academic point of view. Of even greater importance is that society at large now realizes that mountains and the people who reside in them are not isolated from the mainstream of world affairs, but are vital if we are to achieve an environmentally sustainable future. Mountain Geography is a comprehensive resource that gives readers an in-depth understanding of the geographical processes occurring in the world's mountains and the overall impact of these regions on culture and society as a whole. The volume begins with an introduction to how mountains are defined, followed by a comprehensive treatment of their physical geography: origins, climatology, snow and ice, landforms and geomorphic processes, soils, vegetation, and wildlife. The concluding chapters provide an introduction to the human geography of mountains: attitudes toward mountains, people living in mountain regions and their livelihoods and interactions within dynamic environments, the diverse types of mountain agriculture, and the challenges of sustainable mountain development.   606 $aMountains 606 $aMountain people 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aGeomorphology 610 $aanthropology. 610 $acomprehensive resource. 610 $aconservation. 610 $acritical resources. 610 $adynamic environments. 610 $aearth science. 610 $aearth sciences. 610 $aecology. 610 $aenvironmental. 610 $ageographical processes. 610 $ageography. 610 $ageology. 610 $ageomorphic processes. 610 $agives readers. 610 $aglobal importance. 610 $aglobal population. 610 $ahuman geography. 610 $alandforms. 610 $amountain agriculture. 610 $amountain ranges. 610 $amountains. 610 $anature. 610 $aphysical geography. 610 $ascience. 610 $asustainale mountain development. 610 $awater resources. 610 $awilderness. 615 0$aMountains. 615 0$aMountain people. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aGeomorphology. 676 $a910/.02143 701 $aPrice$b Martin F$0327197 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779977703321 996 $aMountain geography$93819665 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04950nam 22006974a 450 001 9910974586603321 005 20250609110702.0 010 $a1-280-20601-2 010 $a9786610206018 010 $a0-306-47052-7 024 7 $a10.1007/b117617 035 $a(CKB)111056486608770 035 $a(EBL)3035687 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000129998 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11137298 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000129998 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10080489 035 $a(PQKB)10868192 035 $a(DE-He213)978-0-306-47052-3 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3035687 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3035687 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10053002 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL20601 035 $a(OCoLC)923696548 035 $a(PPN)237929031 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC196740 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111056486608770 100 $a19990714d2000 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aContinuous-time delta-sigma modulators for high-speed A/D/ conversion $etheory, practice, and fundamental performance limits /$fby James A.

Interest has recently increased in delta-sigma circuits built with a continuous-time loop filter rather than the more common switched-capacitor approach. Continuous-time delta-sigma modulators offer less noisy virtual ground nodes at the input, inherent protection against signal aliasing, and the potential to use a physical rather than an electrical integrator in the first stage for novel applications like accelerometers and magnetic flux sensors. More significantly, they relax settling time restrictions so that modulator clock rates can be raised. This opens the possibility of wideband (1 MHz or more) converters, possibly for use in radio applications at an intermediate frequency so that one or more stages of mixing might be done in the digital domain. Continuous-Time Delta-Sigma Modulators for High-Speed A/D Conversion: Theory, Practice and Fundamental Performance Limits covers all aspects of continuous-time delta-sigma modulator design, with particular emphasis on design for high clock speeds. The authors explain the ideal design of such modulators in terms of the well-understood discrete-time modulator design problem and provide design examples in Matlab. They also cover commonly-encountered non-idealities in continuous-time modulators and how they degrade performance, plus a wealth of material on the main problems (feedback path delays, clock jitter, and quantizer metastability) in very high-speed designs and how to avoid them. They also give a concrete design procedure for a real high-speed circuit which illustrates the tradeoffs in the selection of key parameters. Detailed circuit diagrams, simulation results and test results for an integrated continuous-time 4 GHz band-pass modulator for A/D conversion of 1 GHz analog signals are also presented. Continuous-Time Delta-Sigma Modulators for High-Speed A/D Conversion: Theory, Practice and Fundamental Performance Limits concludes with some promising modulator architectures and a list of the challenges that remain in this exciting field. 410 0$aKluwer international series in engineering and computer science ;$vSECS 521. 410 0$aKluwer international series in engineering and computer science.$pAnalog circuits and signal processing. 606 $aAnalog-to-digital converters 606 $aModulators (Electronics) 606 $aContinuous-time filters 615 0$aAnalog-to-digital converters. 615 0$aModulators (Electronics) 615 0$aContinuous-time filters. 676 $a621.3815/36 700 $aCherry$b James A.$f1970-$01821976 701 $aSnelgrove$b W.
