An up-to-date, detailed, and fully-illustrated account of the biodiversity and status of coral reefs.

The Handbook provides a detailed evaluation of what can realistically be achieved by remote sensing in an operational coastal management context. It takes the user through the planning and implementation of remote sensing projects from the setting of realistic objectives, deciding which imagery will be most appropriate to achieve those objectives, the acquisition, geometric and radiometric correction of imagery, the field survey methods needed to ground-truth the imagery and guide image classification, the image processing techniques required to optimise outputs, through the image interpretation and evaluation of the accuracy of outputs. Linked to the Handbook is a computer-based remote sensing distance-learning module: Applications of satellite and airborne image data to coastal management available free of charge via www.unesco.bilko.org

In a collection of sixteen literary and historical essays, classics scholar Peter Green covers a wide range of subjects--from the mysteries of the Delphic Oracle to Victorian pederasty--and reveals his serious concern that we are losing the legacy of antiquity through the corrosive methodologies of modern academic criticism.

This is the first book to concentrate on hardware and software co-design. The authors focus on applied development issues, addressing the problems associated with the design and development of computer-based systems, and covering the types of systems that include customised hardware and software components - such as embedded systems. The book is unique in its coverage of the use of object-oriented techniques for representing designs. The authors present a specific methodology - Model Based Object Oriented systems Engineering (MOOSE) which enables systems designs to be represented, analysed and developed through to an implementation. Readers will find many practical examples throughout the book to illustrate the concepts and techniques involved.
