During the course of this century, meteorology has become unified, physics-based, and highly computational. Calculating the Weather: Meteorology in the 20th Century explains this transformation by examining thevarious roles of computation throughout the history of meteorology, giving most attention to the period from World War I to the 1960s. The electronic digital computer, a product of World War II, led to great advances in empirical, theoretical, and practical meteorology. At the same time, the use of the computer led to the discovery of so-called""chaotic systems,""and to the recogn

Dynamically written and richly illustrated, the Routledge International Handbook of Visual Criminology offers the first foundational primer on visual criminology. Spanning a variety of media and visual modes, this volume assembles established researchers whose work is essential to understanding the role of the visual in criminology and emergent thinkers whose work is taking visual criminology in new directions. This book is divided into five parts that each highlight a key aspect of visual criminology, exploring the diversity of methods, techniques and theoretical approaches currently shaping the field: " Part I introduces formative positions in the developments of visual criminology and explores the different disciplines that have contributed to analysing images." Part II explores visual representations of crime across film, graphic art, documentary, police photography, press coverage and graffiti and urban aesthetics." Part III discusses the relationship of visual criminology to criminal justice institutions like policing, punishment and law." Part IV focuses on the distinctive ethical problems posed by the image, reflecting on the historical development, theoretical disputes and methodological issues involved." Part V identifies new frameworks and emergent perspectives and reflects upon the distinctive challenges and limits that can be seen in this emerging field. This book includes a vibrant colour plate section and over a hundred black and white images, breaking down the barriers between original photography and artwork, historic paintings and illustrations and modern comics and films. This interdisciplinary book will be of interest to criminologists, sociologists, visual ethnographers, art historians and those engaged with media studies.

Proposer un manuel d’archéologie en cinq cents pages est un pari difficile, pour qui veut illustrer, expliciter et ne rien réduire. L’auteur a néanmoins voulu offrir un volume qui restitue l’unité de l’archéologie sans privilégier une spécialité par rapport à une autre. Ce manuel n’est pas une Encyclopédie, qui révèle tout sur toutes les archéologies. Il veut avant tout soumettre une plate-forme de formalisation, de méthodes et de techniques donnant à l’archéologue tous les moyens d’aborder la meilleure façon de faire sur le terrain comme en laboratoire afin de reconstituer un système. Il n’a pas non plus pour vocation de laisser croire que l’archéologue fait quotidiennement des miracles car il n’est pas d’érudition sans un appareil critique associé, comme il n’existe pas de méthodes et de techniques sans domaine d’application précis et sans limites connues. Ce manuel se veut enfin un ouvrage de référence, à portée de main, pour l’étudiant comme pour le professionnel de l’archéologie programmée ou de l’archéologie préventive. François DJINDJIAN, professeur associé à l’Université de Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, président de la commission 4 « Méthodes et théorie de l’archéologie» de l’Union Internationale des Sciences Préhistoriques et Protohistoriques (UISPP) et vice-Président du CIPSH (Conseil International de la Philosophie et des Sciences Humaines de l’Unesco), est un préhistorien spécialiste de l’enseignement des méthodes de l’archéologie.
