Covers recent advances in remote sensing technology applied to the "Three Poles", a concept encompassing the Arctic, Antarctica, and the Himalayas. Advances in Remote Sensing Technology and the Three Poles is a multidisciplinary approach studying the lithosphere, hydrosphere (encompassing both limnosphere, and oceanosphere), atmosphere, biosphere, and anthroposphere, of the Arctic, the Antarctic and the Himalayas. The drastic effects of climate change on polar environments bring to the fore the often subtle links between climate change and processes in the hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere, while unanswered questions of the polar regions will help plan and formulate future research projects. Sample topics covered in the work include: Terrestrial net primary production of the Arctic and modeling of Arctic landform evolution Glaciers and glacial environments, including a geological, geophysical, and geospatial survey of Himalayan glaciers Sea ice dynamics in the Antarctic region under a changing climate, the Quaternary geology and geomorphology of Antarctica Continuous satellite missions, data availability, and the nature of future satellite missions, including scientific data sharing policies in different countries Software, tools, models, and remote sensing technology for investigating polar and other environments.

"The double blow of overtourism and COVID has shaken the travel industry and forced a reconsideration of what tourism is, and can be. This volume offers a vision of regenerative tourism beneficial to travelers and locals alike. Adventures in Small Tourism presents academic studies and personal stories about small tourism. While small tourism is not new, it has become increasingly important as the widespread negative effects of overtourism have become increasingly apparent, with cities like Amsterdam and Barcelona experiencing barriocide, the death of neighbourhoods, as they host overwhelming numbers of visitors. Small tourism, especially creative tourism, not only reduces the actual and potential negative impact of guests on local culture but actively seeks to strengthen and revive local communities by weaving together the experiences of guest and host. Participatory, respectful, and celebratory methods and manners of tourism, rooted in community and cultural networks, has the potential to strengthen cultural bonds, support economic development, and increase sustainability. Focusing on the provision of small-scale creative tourism experiences, Adventures in Small Tourism explores possibilities for local empowerment through community-based tourism. With stories and studies from Italy, Portugal, Colombia, Japan, Australia, and beyond, this collection tells stories of visitors and residents coming together to co-create place in walks and workshops, gastronomy and art, festivals, markets, and more. This is a book that dares to ask what the future can be."-- Provided by publisher.

• Introduction
• Developing an understanding of archaeology in Antarctica- human interactions with a polar environment
• The history of archaeological investigations in Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic Islands
• The archaeology of the South Shetland Islands
• Approaching sealers’ practices and experiences
• Final thoughts.

"Archaeology in Antarctica outlines the history of archaeology in the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic. The book details for the first time all past archaeological work in Antarctica, relating to both its use for conservation and research purposes, drawing on published, unpublished and oral information. This work has addressed historic and current scientific bases, explorers' huts, whaling stations and sealing shelters. The ongoing and long-term research on the sealing shelters and sites in the South Shetland Islands features prominently. The archaeology enables new perspectives on the impact of global modernity and empire in the Antarctic, and challenges established dominant discourses on the 'heroic' nature of human interaction with the continent. The work on sealing sites gives voice to the experiences of the sealer as a subaltern group previously largely overlooked by historical sources. This book will appeal to students and researchers in archaeology, history, and heritage as well as readers interested in the human and historical aspects of Antarctica's past and present"-- Provided by publisher.

"Le dernier atlas pluridisciplinaire concernant la Corse est paru en 2004. Or, en une vingtaine d'années, la Corse a subi des mutations en profondeur, tant sociales, économiques que politiques, qui sont toujours à l'œuvre aujourd'hui. Loin des images d'Épinal d'un pays de cocagne aux paysages préservés, l'île offre le visage d'un territoire menacé, rongé par les inégalités, appauvri et gangrené par le péril mafieux. Il manquait donc un atlas de la Corse contemporaine, qui prenne en compte et analyse ces transformations. C'est l'objectif de cet ouvrage, rédigé par une équipe pluridisciplinaire : proposer une matière qui soit à la fois accessible à un public très large, aux scolaires et aux universitaires, tant enseignants qu'étudiants, l'ensemble dans une approche chronothématique. Une importance particulière est accordée à la partie la plus contemporaine, en mettant en exergue des éléments trop souvent négligés, tels que les violences multiformes (féminicides, racisme, violence routière, banditisme), mais également la diversité religieuse avec ses implications sociales et culturelles, la place des sports et des pratiques partisanes, le rôle des médias, etc."--Page 4 of cover.

"À partir de quelques dizaines de milliers de données d'époque sur des départs et arrivées de navires de toute taille, ce livre propose pour la première fois une vue globale de la foisonnante activité des littoraux français à la veille de la Révolution. En s'appuyant sur 90 cartes inédites et sur une riche iconographie, il jette ainsi un éclairage nouveau sur des aspects moins connus de la navigation et remet en cause un certain nombre d'idées reçues. Au fil des pages, le lecteur découvrira l'itinéraire singulier d'un bâtiment, l'étendue des trafics à partir d'un port ou d'une province, les pavillons qui assurent ce commerce, les différents types de navigation qui caractérisent les trafics maritimes en France au terme d'un siècle de forte croissance du commerce dans un monde de plus en plus interconnecté. De la contrebande à la pêche, du commerce colonial et négrier aux expéditions de sel, des voyages au-delà du cap de Bonne-Espérance au trafic des passagers en Méditerranée, le texte rend compte de manière synthétique et pédagogique de l'extrême variété d'activités qui animent les ports français, et de la grande diversité qui les caractérise, tout en donnant à voir comment s'effectue le travail de l'historien, confronté aux lacunes des sources, ou à l'incertitude qui les caractérise."--Page 4 of cover.

"Marignan, Lépante, Vauban, Pierre le Grand, Bonaparte... Ces noms résonnent dans l'histoire de la guerre moderne et ont traversé les époques : les XVIe, XVIIe, XVIIIe siècles restent les grands siècles de l'innovation dans le domaine de la guerre. La guerre moderne déferle sur terre et sur mer. Aucun lieu du globe n'est épargné. Les Européens, dans leur expansionnisme colonial, se confrontent d'abord aux populations locales. Puis ces champs de bataille deviennent des lieux de conflits entre les nations occidentales elles-mêmes, donnant à la guerre une dimension mondiale. Les révolutions scientifiques et techniques, les réformes tactiques et stratégiques vont servir empires et royaumes et favorisent le développement de nouvelles façons de combattre : poudre noire et canon, artillerie de campagne, guerre de course, création d'une administration étatique structurée... Toutes ces transformations, représentées par plus de 230 cartes et documents, s'inscrivent dans un contexte de mutations politiques, financières, sociales et culturelles fondamentales qui feront basculer l'Europe et le monde dans la modernité."--Page 4 of cover.

ATLAS OF STRUCTURAL GEOLOGICAL AND GEOMORPHOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF REMOTE SENSING IMAGES An extensive compilation of case studies in structural geology and geomorphology for interpreting remotely sensed images In the Atlas of Structural Geological and Geomorphological Interpretation of Remote Sensing Images, a team of experts delivers an extensive collection of over 20 different examples of structural geological and geomorphological studies by remote sensing. The book demonstrates how to properly interpret geological features and gather robust and reliable information from remote sensing images. This atlas contains high-quality colour images that depict a diversity of structures and geomorphic features from different tectonic regimes and geographic localities in the Americas, Europe, and Australasia. While its primary emphasis is on structural geology, geomorphology is considered in some depth as well. The examples also cover geological hazards, including volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Readers will also find: A thorough introduction to the background of remote sensing, including foundational concepts and the classification of remote sensing based on data type, source, platform and imaging media Comprehensive discussions of geomorphology, including explorations of lava fissures, badlands and beaches In-depth explorations of structural geology, including discussions of deformation bands, fault lines and earthquake effects Several examples of how to trace hydrological processes such as glacier retreat, changes in drainage patterns and bar formation Perfect for advanced students and researchers in the geoscience community, Atlas of Structural Geological and Geomorphological Interpretation of Remote Sensing Images will also earn a place in the libraries of practicing professionals with an interest in the interpretation of remote sensing images.

"A sixty-year saga of frostbite and fake news that follows the no-holds-barred battle between two legendary explorers to reach the North Pole, and the newspapers which stopped at nothing to get--and sell--the story. In the fall of 1909, a pair of bitter contests captured the world's attention. The American explorers Robert Peary and Frederick Cook both claimed to have discovered the North Pole, sparking a vicious feud that was unprecedented in international scientific and geographic circles. At the same time, the rivalry between two powerful New York City newspapers--the storied Herald and the ascendant Times--fanned the flames of the so-called polar controversy, as each paper financially and reputationally committed itself to an opposing explorer and fought desperately to defend him. The Herald was owned and edited by James Gordon Bennett, Jr., an eccentric playboy whose nose for news was matched only by his appetite for debauchery and champagne. The Times was published by Adolph Ochs, son of Jewish immigrants, who'd improbably rescued the paper from extinction and turned it into an emerging powerhouse. The battle between Cook and Peary would have enormous consequences for both newspapers, and help to determine the future of corporate media. Battle of Ink and Ice presents a frank portrayal of Arctic explorers, brave men who both inspired and divided the public. It also sketches a vivid portrait of the newspapers that funded, promoted, narrated, and often distorted their exploits. It recounts a sixty-year saga of frostbite and fake news, one that culminates with an unjustly overlooked chapter in the origin story of the modern New York Times. By turns tragic and absurd, Battle of Ink and Ice brims with contemporary relevance, touching as it does on themes of class, celebrity, the ever-quickening news cycle, and the benefits and pitfalls of an increasingly interconnected world. Above all, perhaps, its cast of characters testifies--colorfully and compellingly--to the ongoing role of personality and publicity in American cultural life as the Gilded Age gave way to the twentieth century--the American century"-- Provided by publisher

The Cambridge History of the Polar Regions is a landmark collection drawing together the history of the Arctic and Antarctica from the earliest times to the present. Structured as a series of thematic chapters, an international team of scholars offer a range of perspectives from environmental history, the history of science and exploration, cultural history and the more traditional approaches of political, social, economic and imperial history. The volume considers the centrality of Indigenous experience and the urgent need to build action in the present on a thorough understanding of the past. Using historical research based on methods ranging from archives and print culture to archaeology and oral histories, these essays provide fresh analyses of the discovery of Antarctica, the disappearance of Sir John Franklin, the fate of the Norse colony in Greenland, the origins of the Antarctic Treaty and much more. This is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of our planet

"From the New York Times bestselling author of The First Man comes a sweeping saga involving two extraordinary--and extraordinarily different--adventurers who have only one thing in common: the ambition to cross the Atlantic in a rowboat...alone"-- Provided by publisher.
They had only one thing in common: the ambition to cross the Atlantic in a rowboat, alone. John Fairfax set off on a westward course, starting in the Canary Islands with his sights on Florida. Tom McClean charted an eastward course from Newfoundland to Ireland. Each arrived at their destination within days of the first landing on the Moon in 1969. Hansen takes us inside their adventures across the Atlantic: nail-biting tales of endurance facing gale-force winds, menacing sharks, creative problem-solving, and much more. -- adapted from jacket
