The 1980s and early 1990s have seen a marked increase in public interest in our historic environment. The museum and heritage industry has expanded as the past is exploited for commercial profit. In The Representation of the Past, Kevin Walsh examines this international trend and questions the packaging of history which serves only to distance people from their own heritage. A superficial, unquestioning portrayal of the past, he feels, separates us from an understanding of our cultural and political present. Here, Walsh suggests a number of ways in which the museum can fulfill its potential - by facilitating our comprehension of cultural identity. - Häftad, Engelska

Hurricane Risk
Inbunden, Engelska, 20191 408 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book details the outcomes of new research focusing on climate risk related to hurricanes. Topics include numerical simulation of tropical cyclones, through tropical cyclone hazard estimation to damage estimates and their implications for commercial risk. Inspired by the 6th International Summit on Hurricanes and Climate Change: From Hazard to Impact, this book brings together leading international academics and researchers, and provides a source reference for both risk managers and climate scientists for research on the interface between tropical cyclones, climate and risk. - E-bokEngelska, 2019

This book provides research that shows tropical cyclones are more powerful than in the past with the most dramatic increases occurring over the North Atlantic and with the strongest hurricanes. Although such increases are correlated with warming oceans and are consistent with the thermodynamic theory of hurricane intensity, there remains doubt about the interpretation, integrity, and meaning of these results. Arising from the 5th International Summit on Hurricanes and Climate Change, this book contains new research on topics related to hurricanes and climate change. Bringing together international leading academics and researchers on various sides of the debate, the book discusses new research and expresses opinions about what is happening and what might happen in the future with regard to regional and global hurricane (tropical cyclone) activity. - E-bokEngelska, 2017

How does a video game console that introduced the world to built-in online multiplayer, revolutionary graphics, and an incredibly diverse library of games end up dead just two years after its spectacular launch, permanently forcing its creator out of the hardware business? The fall of the Sega Dreamcast is the most heartbreaking commercial tragedy in gaming history. Determined to beat the upcoming PlayStation 2 to market, Sega launched the Dreamcast with a proprietary disc format called the GD-ROM to prevent piracy. However, in a catastrophic engineering oversight, Sega left the console backward-compatible with standard CD-Rs to play music and older media. Hackers quickly realized they could simply burn Dreamcast games onto cheap, blank CDs and bypass the security entirely without even needing to physically modify the console. Rampant, frictionless piracy absolutely decimated global software sales, financially bleeding Sega dry just as Sony's massive marketing machine arrived to finish them off. This nostalgic and analytical gaming history dissects the end of the 90s console wars. It documents the visionary genius behind Sega's online network, the brutal economics of hardware manufacturing, and the painful boardroom decision to pivot entirely to third-party software. Witness the death of a hardware empire. The Sega Dreamcast proves that being technologically years ahead of the competition means absolutely nothing if your security architecture can be defeated by a blank CD. - Häftad, Engelska, 2025

The summer began exactly as every preceding summer had. The crew spent the day patrolling the neighborhood on their bikes, playing games like capture the flag, and blitzing the ice cream truck every chance they got. More often than not though, you could find them playing ball at the dead end. Baseball, football, basketball, and hockey-you name it, they played it. But everything changed with their discovery of a winding path into a patch of uncharted woods. From then on, they spent every spare moment exploring the unknown. The Fire Trail became their gateway to a summer of endless adventure!
