Known for its sometimes radical approach to environmental protection, the Greenpeace organization believes simply that everyone has the right to clean water, fresh air, and a safe future. Now in its 20th year, Greenpeace has grown into an international network of more than three million members.
An Introduction to the Lost Colony and Jamestown
Set in the late 16th century, the narrative follows John Dee's ambitious proposal to Queen Elizabeth I for establishing colonies in the New World. The initial venture leads to the ill-fated Roanoke Island settlement, known as The Lost Colony, shrouded in mystery. The story continues with the subsequent colonization efforts under James I, culminating in the establishment of Jamestown in 1607. The book explores the challenges and tragedies faced by early settlers as they navigated the complexities of colonization.
Focusing on the intersection of technology and architecture, this volume explores the implications of computational images in modern architectural thought and practice. By rigorously examining the technical foundations and concepts of architecture, it offers a philosophical perspective on the discipline in the context of imaging. Rather than presenting a theory of architectural images, it provides a concise reflection on how these elements influence contemporary architectural discourse and design.

"This popular and successful text was originally written for a one-semester course in linear algebra at the sophomore undergraduate level. Students at this level generally have had little contact with complex numbers or abstract mathematics, so the book deals almost exclusively with real finite dimensional vector spaces, but in a setting and formulation that permit easy generalization to abstract vector spaces. The goal of the first two editions was the principal axis theorem for real symmetric linear transformation. The principal axis theorem becomes the first of two goals for this new edition, which follows a straight path to its solution."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
