Adams. This book was released on 2001. Textures of Place available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A fresh and far-ranging interpretation of the concept of place, this volume begins with a fundamental tension of our day: as communications technologies help create a truly global economy, the very political-economic processes that would seem to homogenize place actually increase the importance of individual localities, which are exposed to global flows of investment, population, goods, and pollution. Place, no less today than in the past, is fundamental to how the world works. The contributors to this volume -- distinguished scholars from geography, art history, philosophy, anthropology, and American and English literature -- investigate the ways in which place is embedded in everyday experience, its crucial role in the formation of group and individual identity, and its ability to reflect and reinforce power relations. Their essays draw from a wide array of methodologies and perspectives -- including feminism, ethnography, poststructuralism, ecocriticism, and landscape ichnography -- to examine themes as diverse as morality and imagination, attention and absence, personal and group identity, social structure, home, nature, and cosmos.

Download and read online ebook Geographies of Media and Communication write by Paul C. Adams. This book was released on 2009-03-09. Geographies of Media and Communication available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Geographies of Media and Communication From the invention of the telegraph to the emergence of the Internet, communications technologies have transformed the ways that people and places relate to each other. Geographies of Media and Communication is the first textbook to treat all aspects of geography’s variegated encounter with communication. Connecting geographical ideas with communication theories such as intertextuality, audience-centered theory, and semiotics, Paul C. Adams explores media representations of places, the spatial diffusion of communication technologies, and the power of communication technologies to transform places, and to dictate who does and does not belong in them.

Download and read online ebook Plasticity and Textures write by W. Gambin. This book was released on 2001-12-31. Plasticity and Textures available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book unifies, for the first time in book form, the main concepts of the physical and mathematical theory of plasticity. It presents the foundations of modern anisotropic plasticity, which link microscopic observations of texture formation with macroscopic properties of plastically anisotropic materials. Progress in metal-forming technologies has created the necessity to express the plastic yield process in terms of mathematics in order to apply computer methods. In addition new materials used in structural elements require a more detailed description of their physical structure. Amongst both metallurgists and mechanical designers, a strong tendency exists to formulate the scientific material in a common language. This book meets this request, although it has no ambitions to summarise the existing state of knowledge, only to combine the mathematical and physical approaches. The book is mainly addressed to mechanical designers. It is written for researchers who have a knowledge of physics and who want a mathematical tool for using this knowledge for a better description of technological processes. Moreover, it will interest metallurgists who want to have a more general view of their field of research, as well as for mechanical and civil engineers who want to apply some microstructural knowledge in their work. It could also be useful for graduate students at post-doctorate level who want to enter the field of plastic deformation of polycrystalline metals with texture.
