  • Mountains Piled Upon Mountains : Appalachian Nature Writing in the Anthropocene
    Mountains Piled Upon Mountains : Appalachian Nature Writing in the Anthropocene

    Mountains Piled upon Mountains features nearly fifty writers from across Appalachia sharing their place-based fiction, literary nonfiction, and poetry.Moving beyond the tradition of transcendental nature writing, much of the work collected here engages current issues facing the region and the planet (such as hydraulic fracturing, water contamination, mountaintop removal, and deforestation), and provides readers with insights on the human-nature relationship in an era of rapid environmental change.This book includes a mix of new and recent creative work by established and emerging authors.The contributors write about experiences from northern Georgia to upstate New York, invite parallels between a watershed in West Virginia and one in North Carolina, and often emphasize connections between Appalachia and more distant locations.In the pages of Mountains Piled upon Mountains are celebration, mourning, confusion, loneliness, admiration, and other emotions and experiences rooted in place but transcending Appalachia's boundaries.

  • Wind : Nature and Culture
    Wind : Nature and Culture

    By turns creative and destructive, wind spreads seeds, fills sails and disperses the energy of the sun.Worshipped since antiquity, wind has moulded planets, decided the outcome of innumerable battles and shaped the evolution of humans and animals - yet it remains intangible and unpredictable. In this book Louise M. Pryke explores the science behind wind, as well as how it has been imagined and portrayed in myth, religion, art and literature since ancient times.Its formative effect on the Earth's environment is reflected in its prominent role in myths and religions of antiquity.In the modern day, wind has inspired ground-breaking scientific innovations, and appeared in artistic works as diverse as the art of Van Gogh, the poetry of Keats and the blockbuster film Twister.

  • Glacier : Nature and Culture
    Glacier : Nature and Culture

    As major actors in the unfolding drama of climate change, glaciers feature prominently in Earth’s past and its future.Wherever on the planet we live, glaciers affect each of us directly.They control the atmospheric and ocean circulations that drive the weather; they supply drinking and irrigation water to millions of people; and they protect us from catastrophic sea-level rise.The very existence of glaciers affects our view of the planet and of ourselves, but it is less than 200 years since we realised that ice ages come and go, and that glaciers once covered much more of the planet’s surface than they do now.An inspiration to artists, a challenge for engineers, glaciers mean different things to different people.Crossing the boundaries between art, environment, science, nature and culture, this book uniquely considers glaciers from a myriad perspectives, revealing their complexity, majesty and importance, but also their fragility.

  • Nature, Culture, and Inequality
    Nature, Culture, and Inequality

    A Guardian book to look out for in 2024An insightful exploration of the nature of inequality by the internationally bestselling author of Capital in the Twenty-First Century. In his newest work, Thomas Piketty explores how social inequality manifests itself very differently depending on the society and epoch in which it arises.History and culture play a central role, inequality being strongly linked to various socio-economic, political, civilisational, and religious developments.So it is culture in the broadest sense that makes it possible to explain the diversity, extent, and structure of the social inequality that we observe every day. Piketty briefly and concisely presents a lively synthesis of his work, taking up such diverse topics as education, inheritance, taxes, and the climate crisis, and provides exciting food for thought for a highly topical debate: Does natural inequality exist?

  • What is the biserial correlation coefficient and the phi coefficient and the chi coefficient?

    The biserial correlation coefficient is a measure of the strength and direction of the relationship between a continuous variable and a dichotomous variable. It is calculated when one variable is continuous and the other is dichotomous. The phi coefficient is a measure of association between two dichotomous variables. It is calculated using a 2x2 contingency table and ranges from -1 to 1, with 0 indicating no association and 1 indicating a perfect association. The chi coefficient is a measure of association between two dichotomous variables, similar to the phi coefficient. It is also calculated using a 2x2 contingency table and ranges from -1 to 1, with 0 indicating no association and 1 indicating a perfect association.

  • Which correlation coefficient?

    The correlation coefficient is a statistical measure that quantifies the strength and direction of a relationship between two variables. It ranges from -1 to 1, with -1 indicating a perfect negative correlation, 0 indicating no correlation, and 1 indicating a perfect positive correlation. The correlation coefficient is used to determine how closely the two variables are related and can help in making predictions or understanding the nature of the relationship between them.

  • What is the Lusor coefficient?

    The Lusor coefficient is a measure of the ability of a fluid to carry sediment. It is used in the field of sediment transport to quantify the sediment-carrying capacity of a fluid, such as water or air. The coefficient takes into account factors such as the size and density of the sediment particles, as well as the velocity and viscosity of the fluid. A higher Lusor coefficient indicates a greater ability of the fluid to transport sediment.

  • What is the binomial coefficient?

    The binomial coefficient, denoted as ${n \choose k}$, represents the number of ways to choose k elements from a set of n elements without regard to the order of selection. It is calculated using the formula ${n \choose k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$, where n! denotes the factorial of n. The binomial coefficient is commonly used in combinatorics and probability theory to calculate the number of combinations or possibilities in a given scenario.

  • Meteorite : Nature and Culture
    Meteorite : Nature and Culture

    Meteorites are among the rarest objects on Earth, yet they have left a pervasive mark on our planet and civilization.Arriving amidst thunderous blasts and flame-streaked skies, meteorites were once thought to be messengers from the gods, embodiments of the divine.Prized for their outlandish qualities, meteorites are a collectible, a commodity, objects of art and artists' desires and a literary muse. 'Meteorite hunting' is an adventurous, lucrative profession for some, and an addictive hobby for thousands of others.Meteorite: Nature and Culture is a unique, richly illustrated cultural history of these ancient and mysterious phenomena.Taking in a wide range of sources Maria Golia pays homage to the scientists, scholars and aficionados who have scoured the skies and combed the Earth's most unforgiving reaches for meteorites, contributing to a body of work that situates our planet and ourselves within the vastness of the Universe.Appealing to collectors and hobbyists alike, as well as any lovers of nature, marvel and paradox, this book offers an accessible overview of what science has learned from meteorites, beginning with the scientific community's reluctant embrace of their interplanetary origins, and explores their power to reawaken that precious, yet near-forgotten human trait - the capacity for awe.

  • Mountain : Nature and Culture
    Mountain : Nature and Culture

    Majestic and awe-inspiring, mountains demand our attention.Through the centuries, they have both repulsed and attracted.They have been appreciated and despised as sites of divine and diabolic sublimity, as the dwellings of gods and demons, hermits and revolutionaries.Mountain encounters have defined ways of seeing. They have changed our sense of time. They have pushed the boundary between life and death.Progressively tamed, exploited, even commodified, today mountains continue to attract seekers of spiritual quietness and of extreme emotions alike, as well as weekend travellers looking for a break from the everyday.In this compelling journey through peaks both real and imaginary, Veronica della Dora explores how the history of mountains is deeply interlaced with cultural values and aesthetic tastes, with religious beliefs and scientific practices.She shows how mountains are ultimately collaborations between geology and the human imagination, and how they have helped shape our environmental consciousness and our place in the world. Magnificently illustrated, and featuring examples from five continents and beyond, Mountain offers a fascinating exploration of mountains and the idea of mountain in art and literature, science and sport, religion and myth.

  • Beyond Nature and Culture
    Beyond Nature and Culture

    Successor to Claude Levi-Strauss at the College de France, Philippe Descola has become one of the most important anthropologists working today, and Beyond Nature and Culture has been a major influence in European intellectual life since its French publication in 2005.Here, finally, it is brought to English-language readers.At its heart is a question central to both anthropology and philosophy: what is the relationship between nature and culture?Culture - as a collective human making, of art, language, and so forth - is often seen as essentially different than nature, which is portrayed as a collective of the nonhuman world, of plants, animals, geology, and natural forces.Descola shows this essential difference to be, however, not only a specifically Western notion, but also a very recent one.Drawing on ethnographic examples from around the world and theoretical understandings from cognitive science, structural analysis, and phenomenology, he formulates a sophisticated new framework, the "four ontologies" - animism, totemism, naturalism, and analogism - to account for all the ways we relate ourselves to nature. By thinking beyond nature and culture as a simple dichotomy, Descola offers nothing short of a fundamental reformulation by which anthropologists and philosophers can see the world afresh.

  • What is the validity coefficient?

    The validity coefficient is a statistical measure that quantifies the relationship between a predictor (such as a test or assessment) and a criterion (such as job performance or academic achievement). It indicates the degree to which the predictor is able to accurately predict the criterion. A higher validity coefficient suggests a stronger relationship between the predictor and the criterion, indicating that the predictor is more effective in predicting the criterion. Validity coefficients are commonly used in the field of psychometrics and are important for evaluating the effectiveness of selection tools and assessments.

  • What is the multiplication coefficient?

    The multiplication coefficient is a number that represents the factor by which a quantity is multiplied. It is used to scale or increase the value of a quantity by a certain amount. For example, if the multiplication coefficient is 2, then the quantity is doubled. The multiplication coefficient is often used in mathematical equations and calculations to represent the relationship between different quantities.

  • What is a Gini coefficient?

    A Gini coefficient is a measure of income inequality within a population. It is calculated based on the distribution of income or wealth among individuals or households in a given country or region. The coefficient ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 representing perfect equality (everyone has the same income) and 1 representing perfect inequality (one person has all the income). A higher Gini coefficient indicates greater income inequality, while a lower coefficient indicates more equal distribution of income.

  • What is the quadratic temperature coefficient?

    The quadratic temperature coefficient is a measure of how a material's resistance changes with temperature. It describes the rate at which the resistance of a material changes as the temperature changes. The coefficient is used to characterize the temperature dependence of a material's resistance in a quadratic manner, meaning the resistance changes with the square of the temperature difference. A positive coefficient indicates that the resistance increases with temperature, while a negative coefficient indicates that the resistance decreases with temperature.
