  • Climate Crisis, Energy Violence

    Mapping Fossil Energy's Enduring Grasp on Our Precarious Future
    • 1st Edition
    • Mary Finley-Brook + 1 more
    • English
    Climate Crisis, Energy Violence: Mapping Fossil Energy’s Enduring Grasp on Our Precarious Future communicates the breadth and scope of fossil fuel infrastructure and its global impact. Comparative research coupled with data and maps accentuates the spatial, temporal, and physical forms of energy violence. Over 25 international case studies track the world’s three primary fossil fuels—first coal, followed by oil, then gas—revealing patterns of loss and damage, as well as industrial tactics of climate delay and deception used to prolong fossil fuel harms. Through analyses of hotspots, sacrifice zones, fast vs slow violence, death prints and fuel life cycles, immediate ecological damage as well as long-term climate impacts are revealed, tied directly to fossil fuel interests. In detailing the broad scope of damage from energy extraction systems, this book provides a compelling argument to move past fossil fuels, directly confronting the climate crisis through energy justice alliances.

  • Computational Knowledge Vision

    The First Footprints
    • 1st Edition
    • Wenbo Zheng + 1 more
    • English
    Computational Knowledge Vision: The First Footprints presents a novel, advanced framework which combines structuralized knowledge and visual models. In advanced image and visual perception studies, a visual model's understanding and reasoning ability often determines whether it works well in complex scenarios. This book presents state-of-the-art mainstream vision models for visual perception. As computer vision is one of the key gateways to artificial intelligence and a significant component of modern intelligent systems, this book delves into computer vision systems that are highly specialized and very limited in their ability to do visual reasoning and causal inference.Questions naturally arise in this arena, including (1) How can human knowledge be incorporated with visual models? (2) How does human knowledge promote the performance of visual models? To address these problems, this book proposes a new framework for computer vision–computational knowledge vision.
