Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Practice

Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Practice

Cultural landscapes which in the field of heritage studies and practice relates to caring for and safeguarding heritage landscapes is a concept embedded in contemporary conservation. Heritage conservation has shifted from an historical focus on buildings city centres and archaeological sites to encompass progressively more diverse forms of heritage and increasingly larger geographic areas embracing both rural and urban landscapes. While the origin of the idea of cultural landscapes can be traced to the late-19th century Euro-American scholarship it came to global attention after 1992 following its adoption as a category of ‘site’ by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. Today cultural landscape practice has become increasingly complex given the expansion of the values and meanings of heritage the influence of environmental challenges such as human induced climate change technological advancements and the need to better understand and interpret human connections to place and landscapes. The aim of this handbook is to strike a balance between theory and practice which we see as inseparable while also seeking to achieve a geographical spread disciplinary diversity and perspectives and a mix of authors from academic practitioner management and community backgrounds. | Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Practice

Handbook of Radar Signal Analysis

Handbook of Radar Signal Analysis

This new handbook on radar signal analysis adopts a deliberate and systematic approach. It uses a clear and consistent level of delivery while maintaining strong and easy-to-follow mathematical details. The emphasis of this book is on radar signal types and their relevant signal processing and not on radar systems hardware or components. This handbook serves as a valuable reference to a wide range of audience. More specifically college-level students practicing radar engineers as well as casual readers of the subject are the intended target audience of the first few chapters of this book. As the book chapters progress these grow in complexity and specificity. Accordingly later chapters are intended for practicing engineers graduate college students and advanced readers. Finally the last few chapters contain several special topics on radar systems that are both educational and scientifically entertaining to all readers. The presentation of topics in this handbook takes the reader on a scientific journey whose major landmarks comprise the different radar subsystems and components. In this context the chapters follow the radar signal along this journey from its birth to the end of its life. Along the way the different relevant radar subsystems are analyzed and discussed in great detail. The chapter contributors of this new handbook comprise experienced academia members and practicing radar engineers. Their combined years of academic and real-world experiences are in excess of 175. Together they bring a unique easy-to-follow mix of mathematical and practical presentations of the topics discussed in this book. See the Chapter Contributors section to learn more about these individuals. | Handbook of Radar Signal Analysis
