Book Synopsis Skyline to Shoreline by : Constance Daley
Download or read book Skyline to Shoreline written by Constance Daley and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2002-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You can say I'm never satisfied. I'll agree. Walk with me along the shore at low tide, see the glorious pink sun rise over wet sand, and hear me complain about a day at the beach not comparing with pounding pavements in Manhattan. Then walk with me in New York City where we'll dodge traffic crossing Madison Avenue at 50th street and I'll tell you that this city may be the most wonderful in the world, but it can't compare with a sunrise or sunset over the golden isles of Georgia." Life is a tapestry of momentous events, personal challenges and the impact of other people - be they heads of State or the boy next door. In this miscellany of memories, Constance Daley traces the threads of her life, from a young girl (From Young Me To Old Me) to a grown woman (Dancing on the Lawn at the End of Summer), remembering presidents (I'll Take The High Road), celebrities (Frankie and Me, Through the Years) and casual meetings (Fun!) with wit and insight. From her beloved New York to peaceful St Simons Island, her words strike chords, prompt laughter and fill eyes with tears - from Skyline to Shoreline.--Christine James, Writer, South Africa

Book Synopsis Coastal Scenery by : Nelson Rangel-Buitrago
Download or read book Coastal Scenery written by Nelson Rangel-Buitrago and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes an easy to apply methodology to determine the scenic value of a coast. As one of the most critical aspects of beach user choice, the determination of coastal area scenic quality is of primordial importance. This book is, therefore, an extremely useful tool for any coastal lovers, being them users, teachers, researchers, or managers. In particular, this work is the first book to present a semi-quantitative analysis of coastal scenery based on more than 4,000 interviews about people’s desired coastal imaginary. Twenty-six parameters can be used to identify any coastal scene, which have then been sub-divided into five attribute categories, weighted and subjected to fuzzy logic mathematics to obtain a decision number (D). This number D represents the coastal scenery at that point, and Five D classes are then presented (from I-excellent, to V-poor). Heritage areas, like National Parks should lie in Class I, which infers top scenic quality. Over a time span of a decade or so, the authors of this book have assessed more than 900 global locations using the technique given in this book. One of the main aims of this method is to point out how scenic areas may be improved by judicious intervention relating to parameters, mainly anthropogenic, chosen for assessment. The content of this book opens perspectives for analysis of the potential for coastal tourism development in natural areas and for landscape quality improvement in current coastal tourist developed areas. “In a very comprehensive way, this book reviews the main concepts about coastal scenery and through the vast global work experience of the authors, presents different methodologies, as well as introducing a novel methodology, using parameter weightings and fuzzy logic mathematics.” Carlos Pereira da Silva, CICS.NOVA, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal “Our lives will be greatly enriched by finding beauty, but we can use help in defining the many ways beauty can be manifested. This book can help us by informing us of the ways landscapes can be viewed and described from many viewpoints to place our own understanding in better perspective.” Karl Nordstrom, Geography Department, Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA “How do we define and quantify a coast’s scenic value? This is the book. It begins by defining coastal scenery, then reviews the approaches to quantifying it, followed by a new fuzzy logic approach and examples. It finishes with a chapter on how to manage these attractive landscapes, many of which are being overrun and ruined by development. This is a must read for researchers who wish to evaluate and managers who wish to maintain this valuable yet intangible coastal resource.” Andrew Short, Coastal Studies Unit, Sydney University, Australia

Book Synopsis The Gold Coast Transformed by : Tor Hundloe
Download or read book The Gold Coast Transformed written by Tor Hundloe and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2015-03-23 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gold Coast is one of Australia's premier tourism destinations, a city cut out of coastal vegetation, including paperbark swamps, mangroves and rainforests of worldwide significance. The Gold Coast Transformed is a collection of integrated chapters identifying and assessing the environmental impacts of the building of Australia's sixth largest city. From the time of the first timber-getters through to the present, the book traces the cumulative impacts of humans on the now World Heritage-listed rainforest and surrounding ecosystems. The city's natural and engineered environments are both fascinating and vulnerable. The construction of massive high-rise apartment blocks, on what were frontal beach dunes, is one of the fundamental mistakes not to be repeated. The book illustrates how and why major environmentally destructive development took place and discusses the impacts of such development on the Gold Coast's beaches, wildlife, and terrestrial and marine environments, such as the destruction of riparian mangrove forest. The Gold Coast Transformed also shows the possibility of sustaining natural populations and reducing the city's ecological footprint. It will be of interest to ecologists, environmental scientists and managers, town planners, economists, policymakers and the general public.
Book Synopsis Rock Coast Geomorphology by : D.M. Kennedy
Download or read book Rock Coast Geomorphology written by D.M. Kennedy and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2014-08-20 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rocky landforms dominate large portions of the world’s coast. Cliffs and shore platforms form spectacular landscapes, yet when compared to other landforms they are relatively unstudied with many contemporary controversies dating back to the mid-nineteenth century. The past decade has seen a reinvigoration of research driven by advances in technology that now enable precise measurements of erosion to the micron scale and quantification of wave energy onto and through cliff edifices to be made, as well as being able to directly date rock surfaces. In order to integrate this diverse range of research this volume’s regional approach first integrates the latest data with longstanding theory and then analyses this research through the boundary conditions that exist in each area. The volume brings together the research leaders in the field; includes chapters on nearly all the major rock coasts of the world and identifies future research needs.

Grayson’s focused like a laser on his business, but life changes quickly when one night of passion with a beautiful boutique owner leaves him with an unexpected little bundle of joy. Daniel’s closest relationship is with his exotic fish, until he convinces a woman he only knows from a series of flirty notes to be his fake girlfriend and they share one incredible kiss. And after his buddies bet him he can’t go on more than five dates with a woman, Blake wonders if giving up his freedom might be the best thing he’s ever done as he gets to know single mother, Michelle. Billionaire boyfriends can be so difficult. Mila, Jackie, and Michelle couldn’t care less about all that money, or even having a man in their lives. But when circumstances work to bring them together, having a sexy billionaire nearby turns about to be a good thing. A really good thing. Three gorgeous billionaires, fake relationships, unexpected babies, and an instant family make this trilogy a not-to-miss read-a-thon from USA Today Bestselling author Leslie North.

Book Synopsis Cognitive and affective control by : Gilles Pourtois
Download or read book Cognitive and affective control written by Gilles Pourtois and published by Frontiers E-books. This book was released on with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, cognition and emotion are seen as separate domains that are independent at best and in competition at worst. The French scientist and philosopher Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) famously said “Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point” (The heart has its reasons that reason does not know). Over the last century, however, psychologists and neuroscientists have increasingly appreciated their very strong reciprocal connections and interactions. Initially this was demonstrated in cognitive functions such as attention, learning and memory, and decision making. For instance, an emotional stimulus captures attention (e.g., Anderson & Phelps, 2001). Likewise, emotional stimuli are better learned and remembered than neutral ones (e.g., McGaugh, 1990) and they can provide strong incentives to bias decision making (Bechara et al., 1997). In more recent years, cognitive control has also been found to be intimately intertwined with emotion. This is consistent with an approach that considers cognitive control as an adaptive learning process (Braver & Cohen, 1999), reinforcement learning in particular (Holroyd & Coles, 2002; Verguts & Notebaert, 2009). From this perspective, cognitive control is not a cool encapsulated executive function, but instead involves rapidly calculating the value of situational, contextual, and action cues (Rushworth & Behrens, 2008) for the purpose of adapting the cognitive system toward future optimal performance. A wide array of research has shed light on cognitive control and its interactions with affect or motivation. Behaviorally, important phenomena include how people respond to difficult stimuli (e.g., incongruent stimuli, task switches), negative feedback, or errors and how this influences subsequent task processing. Neurally, an important target structure has been the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and its connections to traditional “emotional” (e.g., amygdala) and “cognitive” areas (e.g., (pre)motor cortex, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex). ACC seems to play a predominant role in integrating distant effects from remote cognitive and emotion systems in order to guide and optimize behavior. The current special issue focuses on the bi-directional link between emotion and cognitive control. We invite studies that investigate the influence from emotion on cognitive control, or vice versa, the influence of cognitive control on emotion. Contributions can be of different types: We welcome empirical contributions (behavioral or neuroscientific) but also computational modeling, theory, or review papers. By bringing together researchers from the traditionally separated domains, we hope to further stimulate the crosstalk between emotion and cognitive control, and thus to deepen our understanding of both.
