Скачать книгу - Motel Nirvana

Nirvana tousis meteoorina rokitaevasse 1991. aastal, kui ilmus kultusalbumiks saanud ja pea viiemiljonilise labimuugini joudnud „Nevermind”. Selle kouena murisevad helid ja meeldejaavad meloodiad valjendasid kogu noore X-polvkonna segadust, frustratsiooni ja kirge. 1993. aastal, kuus kuud enne Kurt Cobaini surma, nagi ilmavalgust pohjalik kasitlus Nirvanast – „Come As You Are”. See on ainus Nirvanast kirjutatud raamat, mis sisaldab eksklusiivseid ja detailseid intervjuusid nii Kurt Cobaini, Krist Novoselici ja Dave Grohli kui ka nende soprade, sugulaste, endiste bandiliikmete ja kolleegidega. Samuti sisaldab raamat hiljem lisatud peatukki, mis raagib Kurt Cobaini viimasest eluaastast enne tema enesetappu 1994. aasta aprillis. Michael Azerrad on USA muusikaajakirjanik, kes on teinud kaastood sellistele valjaannetele nagu Spin, Rolling Stone ja The New York Times. Lisaks kaesolevale valjaandele ilmus temalt 2001. aastal ka teos „Our Band Could Be Your Life”, mis andis ulevaate kolmeteistkumnest mojukamast indie-bandist Ameerika Uhendriikides aastatel 1981–1991. Mitu ajakirja on paigutanud molemad raamatud 50 koigi aegade parima rokkmuusikat kasitleva teose hulka. Selle raamatu jaoks Kurt Cobainiga tehtud intervjuude pohjal valmis 2006. aastal ka dokumentaalfilm „Kurt Cobain About a Son”.

Uhel paeval votab ajakirjanikuga uhendust mees, kes on pikka aega pidanud motelli. Nagu selgub, on tema hobiks olnud labi lakke puuritud augu piiluda, mida teevad inimesed motellitubades. Koige selle kohta on ta pidanud detailselt paevikut. See on ullatav, hairiv ja koitev lugemine. Gay Talese (snd 1932) on uks tuntumaid USA ajakirjanikke, nn pikkade lugude meister, kes on aastakumneid avaldanud olemuslugusid New York Timesis, New Yorkeris, Esquire’is jt tuntud valjaannetes.

This fourth and full colour edition updates and expands a widely-used textbook aimed at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in remote sensing and GIS in Geography, Geology and Earth/Environmental Science departments. Existing material has been brought up to date and new material has been added. In particular, a new chapter, exploring the two-way links between remote sensing and environmental GIS, has been added. New and updated material includes: A website at www.wiley.com/go/mather4 that provides access to an updated and expanded version of the MIPS image processing software for Microsoft Windows, PowerPoint slideshows of the figures from each chapter, and case studies, including full data sets, Includes new chapter on Remote Sensing and Environmental GIS that provides insights into the ways in which remotely-sensed data can be used synergistically with other spatial data sets, including hydrogeological and archaeological applications, New section on image processing from a computer science perspective presented in a non-technical way, including some remarks on statistics, New material on image transforms, including the analysis of temporal change and data fusion techniques, New material on image classification including decision trees, support vector machines and independent components analysis, and Now in full colour throughout. This book provides the material required for a single semester course in Environmental Remote Sensing plus additional, more advanced, reading for students specialising in some aspect of the subject. It is written largely in non-technical language yet it provides insights into more advanced topics that some may consider too difficult for a non-mathematician to understand. The case studies available from the website are fully-documented research projects complete with original data sets. For readers who do not have access to commercial image processing software, MIPS provides a licence-free, intuitive and comprehensive alternative.
