Histories of Scientific Observation


Free Download Histories of Scientific Observation edited by Lorraine Daston, Elizabeth Lunbeck
English | February 1, 2011 | ISBN: 0226136779, 0226136787 | True PDF | 480 pages | 32.6 MB
Observation is the most pervasive and fundamental practice of all the modern sciences, both natural and human. Its instruments include not only the naked senses but also tools such as the telescope and microscope, the questionnaire, the photographic plate, the notebook, the glassed-in beehive, and myriad other ingenious inventions designed to make the invisible visible, the evanescent permanent, the abstract concrete. Yet observation has almost never been considered as an object of historical inquiry in itself. This wide-ranging collection offers the first examination of the history of scientific observation in its own right, as both epistemic category and scientific practice.

Spatial Observation of Giant Panda Habitat Techniques and Methods


Free Download Spatial Observation of Giant Panda Habitat: Techniques and Methods by Xinyuan Wang , Jing Zhen , Qingkai Meng
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 391 Pages | ISBN : 9811987939 | 149.7 MB
This book evaluates the past, present, and future habitat suitability of giant pandas based on spatial observation technology involving optical remote sensing, microwave remote sensing, and LiDAR to discover the mysterious ecological environment of giant panda habitat. Considering the problems faced by the world natural heritage site protection, it takes the world natural heritage site "Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries – Wolong, Mt Siguniang and Jiajin Mountains" as the research area, exemplifies systematically the various techniques and methodologies of spatial information technology for monitoring, evaluation, and prediction of rare and endangered species habitats, and provides scientific suggestions for sustainable development of giant panda habitat based on a series of comprehensive case analysis at Wolong national nature reserve and Ya’an prefecture, Sichuan province, China. The book serves both as a textbook in the field of natural heritage protection, remote sensing, and GIS application, as well as a reference for managing natural heritage sites.
