These rising water levels pose serious challenges to all aspects of coastal existence-chiefly economic, residential, and environmental-as well as to the cartographic definition and mapping of coasts. It is this facet of coastal life that Mark Monmonier tackles in Coast Lines. Setting sail on a journey across shifting landscapes, cartographic technology, and climate change, Monmonier reveals that coastlines are as much a set of ideas, assumptions, and societal beliefs as they are solid black lines on maps. Whether for sailing charts or property maps, Monmonier shows, coastlines challenge mapmakers to capture on paper a highly irregular land-water boundary perturbed by tides and storms and complicated by rocks, wrecks, and shoals. Coast Lines is peppered with captivating anecdotes about the frustrating effort to expunge fictitious islands from nautical charts, the tricky measurement of a coastline's length, and the contentious notions of beachfront property and public access. Combing maritime history and the history of technology, Coast Lines charts the historical progression from offshore sketches to satellite images and explores the societal impact of coastal cartography on everything from global warming to homeland security. Returning to the form of his celebrated Air Apparent, Monmonier ably renders the topic of coastal cartography accessible to both general readers and historians of science, technology, and maritime studies. In the post-Katrina era, when the map of entire regions can be redrawn by a single natural event, the issues he raises are more important than ever. 606 $aCoastal mapping 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 615 0$aCoastal mapping. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 676 $a912/.1946 686 $aRB 10223$2rvk 700 $aMonmonier$b Mark S$0276408 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962362203321 996 $aCoast lines$94366687 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05392nam 22007575 450 001 9910735389403321 005 20251113202311.0 010 $a9783031041983 010 $a3031041984 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-04198-3 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7025325 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7025325 035 $a(CKB)24100757200041 035 $a(BIP)083586995 035 $a(OCoLC)1492922857 035 $a(OCoLC)1334725842 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-04198-3 035 $a(EXLCZ)9924100757200041 100 $a20220629d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aIntelligence - Theories and Applications /$fedited by Rainer M.

This book delves deeper into the theories and applications of intelligence, showing it is a multifaceted concept ?defined and explained differently by prestigious experts of various disciplines in their own research. The book provides interdisciplinary connections of intelligence as it relates to a variety of clearly outlined subject areas, and should lead to a deep understanding of the phenomenon as it pertains to practical applications in different domains. Contributors in this volume present results from evolutionary biology, mathematics, artificial intelligence, medicine, psychology, cultural studies, economy, political sciences and philosophy. Individual scientific models are integrated in an interdisciplinary concept of wisdom. This volume will help enhance the common understanding of intelligence for fellow researchers and scientists alike. 606 $aPsychology 606 $aCognitive psychology 606 $aArtificial intelligence 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology 606 $aCognitive Psychology 606 $aArtificial Intelligence 606 $aEvolutionary Biology 606 $aSocial Psychology 606 $aCultural Studies 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aCognitive psychology. 615 0$aArtificial intelligence. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology) 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology. 615 24$aCognitive Psychology. 615 24$aArtificial Intelligence. 615 24$aEvolutionary Biology. 615 24$aSocial Psychology. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 676 $a150 700 $aHolm-Hadulla$b Rainer M$01245096 701 $aFunke$b Joachim$01376506 701 $aWink$b Michael$0511854 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910735389403321 996 $aIntelligence - Theories and Applications$93412368 997 $aUNINA
