Robot Shaping: An Experiment in Behavior Engineering
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dorigo, Marco / Colombetti, Marco, PUBLISHER: Bradford Book, foreword by Lashon Booker To program an autonomous robot to act reliably in a dynamic environment is a complex task. The dynamics of the environment are unpredictable, and the robots' sensors provide noisy input. A learning autonomous robot, one that can acquire knowledge through interaction with its environment and then adapt its behavior, greatly simplifies the designer's work. A learning robot need not be given all of the details of its environment, and its sensors and actuators need not be finely tuned. "Robot Shaping" is about designing and building learning autonomous robots. The term "shaping" comes from experimental psychology, where it describes the incremental training of animals. The authors propose a new engineering discipline, "behavior engineering," to provide the methodologies and tools for creating autonomous robots. Their techniques are based on classifier systems, a reinforcement learning architecture originated by John Holland, to which they have added several new ideas, such as "mutespec," classifier system "energy," and dynamic population size. In the book they present Behavior Analysis and Training (BAT) as an example of a behavior engineering methodology.
Notes of a Provincial Wildfowler
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Aksakov, Sergei Timofeevich / Timofeevich-Aksakov, Sergei / Aksakov, S. T., PUBLISHER: Northwestern University Press, The companion volume to his popular Notes on Fishing, Notes of a Provincial Wildfowler is Sergei Aksakov's guide to the bird species of his native Russia. Written in a style that invites comparison to the works of Gilbert White and Thomas Coward, Aksakov's volume combines a naturalist's sensibility with a literary skill that elevates the work beyond ordinary environmental writing. Notes of a Provincial Wildfowler is filled with precise descriptions of the various game that it treats: detailed accounts of the behavior of birds, observations on their life cycles, and lyrical discourses on the habitats -- marsh, water, and forest -- found in the author's home region. Aksakov's deep fondness for his homeland permeates his Notes, and he contrasts a gentleman's affectionate observations on both hunter and hunted (Aksakov's passion for the habits and habitats of his subjects are in stark contrast with his enthusiasm for the shooting and eating of his quarry) with an expertly conveyed atmosphere of personal and national nostalgia. Offering a rich multitude of viewpoints -- philosophical, literary, linguistic, ethnographic, and environmental -- Notes of a Provincial Wildfowler will appeal to a wide audience of readers, from birders to historians to those who relish fine literature.

Coral Reef Feeders
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bearanger, Marie / Ethan, Eric And Marie Bearanger / Ethan, Eric, PUBLISHER: Gareth Stevens Publishing, No place on Earth can match a coral reef, close up, for the brilliant and abundant wildlife that lives there. Colors of the Sea presents all the mesmerizing beauty of this ancient ecosystem in dramatic full-page photographs and accurate, informative text. In this series you'll encounter the marine behavior that fascinates divers: the symbiotic relationships of cleaning species and predators many times their size; the camouflage tactics of hunters from the lethargic scorpion fish to the nimble hawk fishes; the startling and colorful sea slugs; and much, much more. This rare and exciting look into the world of coral reefs will fascinate and inform every reader. Coral reefs are made out of very hard limestone deposits. It is surprising that so many fish and other kinds of sea life have adapted to feed on the tiny polyps that both produce and are protected by the reefs. Some fish can actually grind coral reefs to sand. Other animals scrape along the reef's surface, pulling polyps from the coral pockets. These and many other unusual feeding strategies are presented in this fascinating book.

Chomp
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hiaasen, Carl, PUBLISHER: Ember, Wahoo Cray lives in a zoo. His father is an animal wrangler, so he's grown up with all manner of gators, snakes, parrots, rats, monkeys, snappers, and more in his backyard. The critters he can handle. His father is the unpredictable one. When his dad takes a job with a reality TV show called "Expedition Survival," Wahoo figures he'll have to do a bit of wrangling himself--to keep his dad from killing Derek Badger, the show's boneheaded star, before the shoot is over. But the job keeps getting more complicated. Derek Badger seems to actually believe his PR and insists on using wild animals for his stunts. And Wahoo's acquired a shadow named Tuna--a girl who's sporting a shiner courtesy of her old man and needs a place to hide out. They've only been on location in the Everglades for a day before Derek gets bitten by a bat and goes missing in a storm. Search parties head out and promptly get lost themselves. And then Tuna's dad shows up with a gun... It's anyone's guess who will "actually" survive "Expedition Survival."...
Chasing the Dragon's Tail: The Struggle to Save Thailand's
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rabinowitz, Alan, PUBLISHER: Shearwater Books, In , zoologist Alan Rabinowitz was invited by the Thai government to study leopards, tigers, and other wildlife in the Huai Kha Khaeng valley, one of Southeast Asia's largest and most prized forests. It was hoped his research would help protect the many species that live in that fragile reserve, which was being slowly depleted by poachers, drug traffickers, and even the native tribes of the area. "Chasing the Dragon's Tail" is the remarkable story of Rabinowitz's life and adventures in the forest as well as the streets of Bangkok, as he works to protect Thailand's threatened wildlife.Based on Rabinowitz's field journals, the book offers an intimate and moving look at a modern zoologist's life in the field. As he fights floods, fire-ant infestations, elephant stampedes, and a request to marry the daughter of a tribal chief, the difficulties that come with the demanding job of species conservation are dramatically brought to life. First published in , this edition of "Chasing the Dragon's Tail" includes a new afterword by the author that brings the story up to date, describing the surprising strides Thailand has made recently in conservation.Other titles by Alan Rabinowitz include "Beyond the Last Village" and "Jaguar."
Surfer Safari: The Tenth Sherman's Lagoon Collection
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Toomey, Jim, PUBLISHER: Andrews McMeel Publishing, If undersea creatures make you think "Nemo" you haven't yet had the chance to swim in Sherman's Lagoon. This watery world off the imaginary island of Kapupu in the South Pacific is home to a great white shark named Sherman; his wife, Megan; turtle buddy Fillmore; geeky fish pal Ernest; and Hawthorne, a macho hermit crab. The situations this crew manages to get into are definitely not Disneyesque. This tenth Sherman's Lagoon collection includes all the "up-there" topics that "down-there" sea animals usually miss out on: things like which swimmers taste better, those in one- or two-piece suits; how to repair a dryer at leagues; and where to find psychiatric help on a coral reef. You could say Sherman's just a regular guy with a slightly salty look at how things work. Creator Jim Toomey excels at meshing the human and sea life worlds in a way that makes joke-cracking crabs and style-conscious sharks seem perfectly normal. This collection is sure to hook new fans and reel in longtime Sherman aficionados like never before.

DISPONIAMO MERCATINO USATO BOLOGNA DI Vinile 7" Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood Birmingham Free Music He asked Ozzy to sing backing vocals on this cover of the Animals hit song "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. The piano is very prominent in Sedgwick's arrangement. Ozzy's backing parts are mixed up high to show off his distinctive singing. A very interesting track to hear indeed! The B-side of the single was "Have You Ever Been Loved". It was recorded for Birmingham Free Music, which was an independent label. The backing tracks were recorded with the help of other local musicians. Some of these 45-singles were distributed to local pubs in Birmingham to be played in their jukeboxes. Only 100 copies were pressed and the majority of these were accidentally destroyed in a fire. Needless to say, this track remains extremely rare. Condizioni disco VG+; copertina generica.

The Underneath
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Appelt, Kathi / Small, David, PUBLISHER: Atheneum Books, There is nothing lonelier than a cat who has been loved, at least for a while, and then abandoned on the side of the road. A calico cat, about to have kittens, hears the lonely howl of a chained-up hound deep in the backwaters of the bayou. She dares to find him in the forest, and the hound dares to befriend this cat, this feline, this creature he is supposed to hate. They are an unlikely pair, about to become an unlikely family. Ranger urges the cat to hide underneath the porch, to raise her kittens there because Gar-Face, the man living inside the house, will surely use them as alligator bait should he find them. But they are safe in the Underneath...as long as they stay in the Underneath. Kittens, however, are notoriously curious creatures. And one kitten's one moment of curiosity sets off a chain of events that is astonishing, remarkable, and enormous in its meaning. For everyone who loves Sounder, Shiloh, and The Yearling, for everyone who loves the haunting beauty of writers such as Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Flannery O'Connor, and Carson McCullers, Kathi Appelt spins a harrowing yet keenly sweet tale about the power of love -- and its opposite, hate -- the fragility of happiness and the importance of making good on your promises.
One Newt in a Suit
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Weale, Andrew / Chamberlain, Margaret, PUBLISHER: Hodder & Stoughton, The Newt In The Suit is great fun. It has an energy and silliness to it that doesn't always come through in other counting books. You'll learn the numbers, but even when you know the numbers inside and out, you'll keep coming back for more. It is zippy and bright, and shows that playing with language is lots of fun. Margaret Chamberlain's illustrations suit the mood perfectly. They're big and bold, with plenty of jollity on every page. You'll love it whether you know how to count up to ten or not. Andrew Weale is a brand-new voice to add to the Hodder list. A great way to build Margaret Chamberlain on the list with a young text.There's one newt in a suit, and he's looking very dapper. He's joined by two snazzy-looking flies in ties, three cockatoos in high-heeled shoes, and so on up to ten. This is a counting book with lots of well-dressed animals going about their business. What's not to love about bees in dungarees or bats in top hats? Everything's vibrant and colourful. It draws you in, and will have you poring over every page.
Heart of the Dove
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fobes, Tracy, PUBLISHER: Pocket Books, Brilliant new talent Tracy Fobes' first book, "Touch Not the Cat," received overwhelming critical acclaim. "Ms. Fobes' debut is a stunning novel...clever, evocative, and magical," said "Romantic Times." Her new book is as bewitching, a mesmerizing tale of magic -- and a love foretold centuries before.... Lucinda Drakewyck, one of a long line of Drakewyck witches, has foreseen her own death. Desperate for answers, she calls upon the magic in her cherished crystal dove, hoping for visions of the warrior whose love would first save her then destroy them both. When wounded Crimean cavalry officer Richard Clairmont walks into her secret forest glen, Lucinda recognizes him as her promised hero. Destiny has determined that only he can rescue her from a ghastly fate, and yet Lucinda fights the attraction between them, knowing if they love, both their lives are forfeit. Richard Clairmont doesn't believe in love, magic, or even himself. A captain in Her Majesty's Eleventh Hussars, he charged into the mouth of Hell and returned scarred forever. But from the moment he meets Lucinda Drakewyck, sunshine enters his life, throwing light on the shadows in his heart and making him question the possibility of magic. Together, they must stand against a malevolent presence and test the true power of their love.
Ecoregion-Based Design for Sustainability
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bailey, Robert G. / Ropes, L. G., PUBLISHER: Springer, This richly illustrated volume completes Robert G. Bailey's celebrated study of ecoregions, begun in the landmark Ecosystem Geography () and further articulated in Ecoregions (). In this third installment, the author expands his system for defining large-scale ecological zones to encompass principles of land management, regional planning, and design. In an engaging, nontechnical discussion, he shows how larger patterns and processes that characterize a region--its climate, topography, soils, vegetation, fauna, and human culture--provide essential keys to the sustainability of ecosystems. Ecoregion-Based Design for Sustainability will be welcomed by land and resource managers, landscape architects and urban planners, ecologists, students, and anyone interested in ecology-based design. "Bob Bailey is] the man behind the ecosystem mapping of the world." -Lingua Franca Reviews of Ecoregions: "The book provides easy access to the geographic distribution, characteristics, and processes operating behind every major ecosystem in the world." -Geoscience Canada "Ecoregions offers an invaluable source of description, interpretation and analysis of global patterns of ecosystem distribution and successfully provides the reader with a means of making sense of these patterns." -Geography Robert G. Bailey is a geographer with the United States Forest Service in Fort Collins, Colorado. Formerly the leader of the agency's Ecosystem Management Analysis Center, he is currently in charge of ecoregion studies at the Inventory and Monitoring Institute.
