The well-known ancient Chinese oracle and sourcebook of Asian wisdom--now in a Shambhala Pocket Library edition.

The I Ching (The Book of Change), the oldest of the Chinese classics, has throughout Chinese history commanded unsurpassed prestige and popularity. Containing several layers of text and given numerous levels of interpretation, the I Ching has been venerated for more than three thousand years as an oracle of fortune, a guide to success, and a source of wisdom. The underlying theme of the text is change and how this fundamental force influences all...

This is a biography of Dr Felicia Wu. Felicia was a unique person: a very successful cancer researcher, an extremely brave cancer patient, and an incredibly determined cancer fighter. Originally, this book was to be written by Felicia. She wanted to tell other patients about her long 13 years of experience fighting cancer, and to prepare them to face their own treatment without fear. What she did not realize then was that her time was ticking away, and writing her own book proved to be an impossible task.

After Felicia passed away, her husband, Dr Cheng-Wen Wu, finished this task....

It is the first and only multilingual bibliography for Chinese film studies, which covers monographic materials--including monographs, conference proceedings, and theses--that relate to film studies in and about Mainland China published between 1920-2003.

Faser-Bragg-Gitter-Sensoren bieten viele Vorteile gegenuber herkommliche Messverfahren zur Dehnungsmessung, wie beispielsweise elektrische Dehnungsmessstreifen. Sie vertragen deutlich mehr Lastwechselzyklen und ermoglichen aufgrund ihrer kompakten Bauweise eine Einbettung in Faserverbundwerkstoffe. Da das Funktionsprinzip auf Licht und Glasfaser basiert, sind diese Sensoren unempfindlich gegenuber elektromagnetischen Feldern und konnen keinen elektrischen Strom leiten. Daher sind sie besonders fur Umgebungen geeignet, wo elektrische Messverfahren auf Grund starker elektromagnetischer...

This special issue book gathers sixteen papers focusing on the application of remote sensing techniques to crop growth monitoring. The studies feature multi-scale and multi-source remotely sensed data, a combination of empirical and physical approaches, and a range of topics on crop growth parameters estimation and crop mapping. It is recommended to graduate students, professors, scientists and engineers who have broad interests in the agricultural applications of remote sensing.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Energy Minimization Methods in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, EMMCVPR 2015, held in Hong Kong, China, in January 2015. The 36 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on discrete and continuous optimization; image restoration and inpainting; segmentation; PDE and variational methods; motion, tracking and multiview reconstruction; statistical methods and learning; and medical image analysis.
