Book Synopsis Travel as a Political Act by : Rick Steves
Download or read book Travel as a Political Act written by Rick Steves and published by Rick Steves. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Change the world one trip at a time. In this illuminating collection of stories and lessons from the road, acclaimed travel writer Rick Steves shares a powerful message that resonates now more than ever. With the world facing divisive and often frightening events, from Trump, Brexit, and Erdogan, to climate change, nativism, and populism, there's never been a more important time to travel. Rick believes the risks of travel are widely exaggerated, and that fear is for people who don't get out much. After years of living out of a suitcase, he still marvels at how different cultures find different truths to be self-evident. By sharing his experiences from Europe, Central America, Asia, and the Middle East, Rick shows how we can learn more about own country by viewing it from afar. With gripping stories from Rick's decades of exploration, this fully revised edition of Travel as a Political Act is an antidote to the current climate of xenophobia. When we travel thoughtfully, we bring back the most beautiful souvenir of all: a broader perspective on the world that we all call home. All royalties from the sale of Travel as a Political Act are donated to support the work of Bread for the World, a non-partisan organization working to end hunger at home and abroad.

Download or read book Claiming Brazil written by Gregg Bocketti and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2022-12-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brazil marked its centennial as an independent country in 1922. Claiming Brazil explores how Brazilians from different walks of life commemorated the event, and how this led to conflicting ideas of national identity. Civic rituals hold enormous significance, and Brazilian citizens, immigrants, and visitors employed them to articulate and perform their sense of what Brazil was, stood for, and could be. Gregg Bocketti argues that these celebrations, rather than uniting the country, highlighted tensions between modernity and tradition, over race and ethnicity, and between nation and region. Further, the rituals contributed to the collapse of the country’s social and political status quo and gave substance to the debates and ideas that characterized Brazilian life in the 1920s and then under the transformative rule of Getúlio Vargas (1930–1945). Now, at the bicentennial of Brazil’s independence, which itself unfolds in a period of political crisis and economic dislocation, and in the aftermath of several large civic events, it is an opportune moment to consider how Brazilians used civic rituals to engage with questions of identity, belonging, and citizenship one hundred years ago.

Book Synopsis The Nomadic Object by : Christine Göttler
Download or read book The Nomadic Object written by Christine Göttler and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the sixteenth century, the notion of world was dramatically being reshaped, leaving no aspect of human experience untouched. The Nomadic Object: The Challenge of World for Early Modern Religious Art examines how sacred art and artefacts responded to the demands of a world stage in the age of reform. Essays by leading scholars explore how religious objects resulting from cross-cultural contact defied national and confessional categories and were re-contextualised in a global framework via their collection, exchange, production, management, and circulation. In dialogue with current discourses, papers address issues of idolatry, translation, materiality, value, and the agency of networks. The Nomadic Object demonstrates the significance of religious systems, from overseas logistics to philosophical underpinnings, for a global art history. Contributors are: Akira Akiyama, James Clifton, Jeffrey L. Collins, Ralph Dekoninck, Dagmar Eichberger, Beate Fricke, Christine Göttler, Christiane Hille, Margit Kern, Dipti Khera, Yoriko Kobayashi-Sato, Urte Krass, Evonne Levy, Meredith Martin, Walter S.

Book Synopsis Ambient Intelligence by : Boris De Ruyter
Download or read book Ambient Intelligence written by Boris De Ruyter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-10-31 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world supported by Ambient Intelligence (AmI), various devices embedded in the environment collectively use the distributed information and the intelligence inherent in this interconnected environment. A range of information from sensing and reas- ing technologies is used by distributed devices in the environment. The cooperation between natural user interfaces and sensor interfaces covers all of a person’s s- roundings, resulting in a device environment that behaves intelligently; the term “Ambient Intelligence” has been coined to describe it. In this way, the environment is able to recognize the persons in it, to identify their individual needs, to learn from their behavior, and to act and react in their interest. Since this vision is influenced by a lot of different concepts in information proce- ing and combines multi-disciplinary fields in electrical engineering, computer science, industrial design, user interfaces, and cognitive sciences, considerable research is needed to provide new models of technological innovation within a multi-dimensional society. Thus the AmI vision relies on the large-scale integration of electronics into the environment, enabling the actors, i.e., people and objects, to interact with their surrounding in a seamless, trustworthy, and natural manner.

Book Synopsis A Cooperative SLAM Framework with Efficient Information Sharing over Mobile Ad Hoc Networks by : Gonçalo dos Santos Martins
Download or read book A Cooperative SLAM Framework with Efficient Information Sharing over Mobile Ad Hoc Networks written by Gonçalo dos Santos Martins and published by University of Coimbra. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the cost of simple robotic platforms plummets, interest in solutions that explore the cooperation between robotic agents grows. Cooperative techniques enjoy a multitude of advantages over their individual counterparts, namely concerning the solution of easily divisible problems. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is one of the most researched topics in Robotics. It deals with the problem of endowing a mobile robotic platform with the ability to, with no a priori knowledge of the environment, build a representation of its surroundings and, simultaneously, localize itself in it. The exploration of unknown environments seems to be a particularly and intuitively divisible problem, at least at a human level: we simply divide the team into smaller groups, or even into individuals, which explore different areas in the environment. After exploring, the team reassembles and builds a joint representation of the region. However, this approach gives rise to a new set of problems, such as communication, synchronization and information fusion. This work focuses in the solution of these problems, known collectively as Multi-Robot SLAM. We propose a novel software solution that seeks to provide any system capable of performing single robot SLAM with the ability to efficiently communicate with its teammates and to build a global representation of the environment based on the information it exchanges with its peers. This solution was validated through experiments conducted over real-world data, both on- and off-line, i.e., both using prerecorded and data gathered during the experiment. It has shown acceptable performance, both in scalability and communication efficiency.
