Why did this historic city become so much more influential than its neighbor, nearby Latium, which was peopled by more or less the same stock? Over the years, historians, political analysts, and sociologists have discussed this question ad infinitum, without considering one underlying factor that led to the rise of Rome--the geology now hidden by the modern city. This book demonstrates the important link between the history of Rome and its geologic setting in a lively, fact-filled narrative sure to interest geology and history buffs and travelers alike. The authors point out that Rome possessed many geographic advantages over surrounding areas: proximity to a major river with access to the sea, plateaus for protection, nearby sources of building materials, and most significantly, clean drinking water from springs in the Apennines. Even the resiliency of Rome's architecture and the stability of life on its hills are underscored by the city's geologic framework. If carried along with a good city map, this book will expand the understanding of travelers who explore the eternal city's streets. Chapters are arranged geographically, based on each of the seven hills, the Tiber floodplain, ancient creeks that dissected the plateau, and ridges that rise above the right bank. As an added bonus, the last chapter consists of three field trips around the center of Rome, which can be enjoyed on foot or by using public transportation. 606 $aGeology$zItaly$zRome$vGuidebooks 607 $aRome (Italy)$vGuidebooks 615 0$aGeology 676 $a913.7/602 700 $aHeiken$b Grant$053599 701 $aFuniciello$b R$014141 701 $aDe Rita$b Donatella$0746082 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818785903321 996 $aThe seven hills of Rome$94127096 997 $aUNINA LEADER 07177nam 22007575 450 001 996673176703316 005 20250828130220.0 010 $a3-031-97763-7 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-97763-3 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC32274282 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL32274282 035 $a(CKB)40630390400041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-97763-3 035 $a(EXLCZ)9940630390400041 100 $a20250828d2026 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aExtended Reality $eInternational Conference, XR Salento 2025, Otranto, Italy, June 17?20, 2025, Proceedings, Part I /$fedited by Lucio Tommaso De Paolis, Pasquale Arpaia, Marco Sacco 205 $a1st ed. 2026. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer Nature Switzerland :$cImprint: Springer,$d2026. 215 $a1 online resource (650 pages) 225 1 $aLecture Notes in Computer Science,$x1611-3349 ;$v15737 311 08$a3-031-97762-9 327 $a -- Virtual Reality. -- The Metaverse in Automotive Retail: Field Study on Implementation and Customer Interaction . -- Virtual Reality in Geoscience: An Overview . -- Maritime Training through Virtual Reality: System Design and Research Roadmap. -- Spatial Cognition and Awareness of non-Euclidean Virtual Reality Environments: A pilot study on the Effect of Personality Traits. -- Leveraging Transfer Learning for Niche Sign System Recognition in VR Training with Limited Data. -- Navigating Social Biases through Virtual Reality Perspective Taking: Exploring the Mediating Role of Outgroup Perspective Taking . -- Immersive technologies for Cultural Heritage: Bridging History and Technology in Museums. -- Exploring VR Accessibility Challenges and Solutions through Crowdsourced Insights from Reddit. -- Study of VR Application in Additive Manufacturing of Customized Orthopedic Products. -- Empowering Accessible Social Engagement in Virtual Reality: Piloting a preparatory Usability Experience on Neurotypical Individuals. -- Examining the impact of pilot expertise and task difficulty on visual attention and flight performance in a high visual-fidelity flight simulator. -- Revolutionizing Agrifood Training: The MetaLAM Virtual Laboratory for Multielement Analysis. -- Exploring moral dilemmas in Virtual Reality: a literature review. -- Immersive questionnaire framework for perception research studies. -- Detecting the Fingers of Adult Braille Readers Using Ultraleap?s Virtual Reality Hand Tracking System. -- Evaluating Usability and Immersion in a Virtual Reality Game for Fear of Flying: A Pilot Study with a Non-Phobic Sample. -- Integrating Mind-Controlled Navigation into a Virtual Reality Training System. -- Virtual Reality Meets Finance: How to Enhance Understanding of Risk Diversification. -- Spatialized Looming Sounds in Virtual Reality: Reaction Times and Localization Accuracy. -- VR for Specific Phobias: A Perspective on Adaptive and Physiological Feedback-Based Exposure Therapy. -- Bio-Adaptive Virtual Humans for Arousal Regulation: A Preliminary Study. -- A Vision-Based Fiducial Object Input Device for Intuitive Interaction. -- Towards optimal shift mapping heuristics for ReSTIR-SSS. -- Semantic Edge Extraction by Logical Operations for Room Structure Estimation Using a Segmentation Result. -- 360 Nature Hub: An open repository of 360° nature videos for research and health interventions. -- Augmented and Mixed Reality. -- Enhancing Operator Understanding of Circular Production Facilities through Augmented Reality: A Comparative Study. -- Towards Precise Geo-Localization for Outdoor Mobile Augmented Reality - State-of-the-Art in Visual Geo-Localization. -- Video Game Quality of Experience Assessment of Augmented Reality User Interface for Military Purposes. -- Identifying Mobile AR Application Scenarios: A Method for Environmental Agencies. -- Adaptive Interface Improving User Focus in Collaborative AR Systems. -- Embodiment Under Constant Force Applied by a Force Feedback Device for Spatially Augmented Forearm. -- Enhancing the atmosphere in Hybrid Restaurants: a Dining Experience Assessment with Mixed Reality. -- Transforming Industrial Training: A Comparative Study of Volumetric Video in Mixed Reality and Paper-Based Instructions. 330 $aThe seven-volume set LNCS 15737-15743 constitutes the proceedings of the International Conference on Extended Reality, XR Salento 2025, held in Otranto, Italy, during June 17-20, 2025.
