Volcano: Nature and Culture (Earth) by James Hamilton
English | June 15, 2012 | ISBN: 1861899173 | 208 pages | EPUB | 1.72 Mb
For years, tourists have trekked across cracked rock at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano to witness the awe-inspiring sight of creeping lava and its devastating effects on the landscape. In 2010, Eyjafjallajökull erupted in Iceland, stranding travelers as a cloud of ash covered western and northern Europe, causing the largest disruption of air travel since World War II. And just a few months later, Mount Merapi blew in Indonesia, killing over 350 people and displacing over 350,000 others, awakening people once more to the dangerous potential of these sleeping giants.Though today largely dormant, volcanoes continue to erupt across the world, reminding us of their sheer physical power. InVolcano, James Hamilton explores the cultural history generated by the violence and terrifying beauty of volcanoes. He describes the reverberations of early eruptions of Vesuvius and Etna in Greek and Roman myth. He also examines the depiction of volcanoes in art-from the earliest known wall painting of an erupting volcano in 6200 BCE to the distinctive colors of Andy Warhol and Michael Sandle's exploding mountains. Surveying a number of twenty-first-century works, Hamilton shows that volcanoes continue to influence the artistic imagination.Combining established figures such as Joseph Wright and J. M. W. Turner with previously unseen perspectives, this richly illustrated book will appeal to anyone interested in science as well as the cultural impact of these spectacular natural features.

Theories of Visual Perception By Ian E. Gordon
2004 | 271 Pages | ISBN: 1841693839 | PDF | 5 MB
This study, which explains theorizing in perception, pays particular attention to vision. Describing three pieces of research work which have won the Nobel Prize, the text observes perception at work in daily life and explains how readers can be trained to increase their awareness. Subjects covered include the three-factor and opponent-process theories of colour and vision, neural processes in the retina, the Gestalt theory, ecological optics and the computational theory of vision. Although the text has been aimed primarily at undergraduate psychology students, it has been written in a straightforward manner which should also be of benefit to students in related disciplines, such as philosophy and physiology.

Christopher A. Faraone, "The Transformation of Greek Amulets in Roman Imperial Times "
English | ISBN: 0812249356 | 2018 | 512 pages | PDF | 44 MB
The era of the Roman Empire was distinguished by an explosion of images and texts in a variety of media-metal, papyrus, mosaic, gemstone-all designed to protect, heal, or grant some abstract benefit to the persons who wore them on their bodies or placed them in their homes. In the past scholars have explained this proliferation of readily identifiable amulets by a sudden need for magic or by a precipitous rise in superstition or anxiety in this period, connected, perhaps, with the internal breakdown of Greek rationalism or the migration of superstitious peoples from the East.
