A Phenomenology of Landscape: Places, Paths and Monuments by Christopher Tilley

Description: A Phenomenology of Landscape by Christopher Tilley Offering a different approach to landscape perception, this book is a photographic essay about topographic features of the landscape. Integrating philosophical approaches to landscape perception with anthropological studies, it uses this perspective to examine the relationship between prehistoric sites and their topographic settings. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Offers a new approach to landscape perception.This book is an extended photographic essay about topographic features of the landscape. It integrates philosophical approaches to landscape perception with anthropological studies of the significance of the landscape in small-scale societies. This perspective is used to examine the relationship between prehistoric sites and their topographic settings. The author argues that the architecture of Neolithic stone tombs acts as a kind of camera lens focussing attention on landscape features such as rock outcrops, river valleys, mountain spurs in their immediate surroundings. These monuments played an active role in socializing the landscape and creating meaning in it.A Phenomenology of Landscape is unusual in that it links two types of publishing which have remained distinct in archaeology: books with atmospheric photographs of monuments with a minimum of text and no interpretation; and the academic text in which words provide a substitute for visual imagery. Attractively illustrated with many photographs and diagrams, it will appeal to anyone interested in prehistoric monuments and landscape as well as students and specialists in archaeology, anthropology and human geography. Reception, perception and interpretation are key to understanding landscapes. This book provides a useful starting point for comprehension of these topics.Dr. Stuart Prior, University of Bristol Notes Also available in paperback, 9781859730768 GBP22.99 (January, 1997) Back Cover Practical Design of Power Supplies "In a rare and very welcome departure from the power industrys standard technical treatise, Ron Lenks book . . . offers a clear, pragmatic view of the practical real-world aspects governing power supply design . . . . Engineers at all levels . . . can expect to gain an enlightened perspective normally gained only after years of design experience." -Frank Wahl, Managing Editor, PCIM Magazine "This is a real hands-on reference in which Ron has done an outstanding job of combining just enough theory for understanding, together with several lifetimes worth of experience. I am confident that it is destined to become dog-eared and worn on the top of every power supply designers desk." -Bob Mammano, Vice President Advanced Technology, Unitrode Practical Design of Power Supplies details key techniques and offers advice to engineers and technicians who want to design and build power supplies that work the first time they are turned on. Leading authority Ron Lenk presents current, experiment-based information that can save hours of research and design time. Containing many handy "Practice Notes" and real-world examples, Practical Design of Power Supplies is an excellent how-to reference to keep by your side throughout the design, lab, and production phases. The topics covered will be immediately useful in everyday circuits and systems work: Common terms and instrumentation How to design successful magnetics How to compensate the feedback loop to obtain stable operation Practical EMI Topology selection Worst-case analysis Practical Design of Power Supplies will be especially useful to designers who need to understand and implement the concepts behind loop compensation and magnetics design.
