In this book, Tal Ben-Shahar introduces a new interdisciplinary field of study that is dedicated to exploring happiness. The study of happiness ought not be left to psychologists alone. Philosophers, theologians, biologists, economists, and scholars from other disciplines have explored ways of attaining happiness, and to do justice to this important pursuit, we ought to listen to their words and experiment with their prescriptions. Not only does the field of happiness studies embrace different disciplines, it also approaches happiness as a multifaceted and multidimensional variable that includes five parts which form the acronym SPIRE:Spiritual wellbeingPhysical wellbeingIntellectual wellbeingRelational wellbeingEmotional wellbeingThis book addresses each of these elements of happiness, explains them, and addresses practical ways for their cultivation.

This book gives readers detailed explanations of the techniques used to map and monitor the built and natural environment and how that data, collected from a wide range of scales and cost options, is translated into an image or visual experience. It is written with technical, professional, and academic readers in mind.

An overview of increasingly indispensable radiometric technologiesMicrowave radiometers have become a central part of Earth observation and radioastronomy. Most existing reference works on the subject, however, largely omit two key types of radiometers: interferometric radiometers and polarimetric radiometers. The extensive applications of these two classes of radiometer and their potential for mapping distant celestial bodies and enhancing Earth observation has made it critical for the next generation of radiometric scientists and engineers to be familiar with this technology and its principles.Principles of Interferometric and Polarimetric Radiometry meets this crucial need with a first-in-class overview of this key subject. Beginning with an introduction to the foundational concepts of microwave radiometry, it proceeds to work through a careful revision of the fields major theory and techniques, with a particular emphasis on interferometric and polarimetric systems. The result promises to revolutionize the use of microwave passive sensors for Earth observation and beyond.

Learn from the best with this popular book on creating successful maps with any GIS or illustration product, written by an expert cartographer.For more than 18 years, Designing Better Maps: A Guide for GIS Users has been essential reading for all mapmakers who use geographic information system (GIS) technology across industries and sectors, including government, commercial, creative, and education.

Being construction one of the sectors in which more is invested and that, according to the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), contributes 13% of GDP worldwide, curiously it is also one of the activities that shows lower rates of productivity in the last 25 years according to a study prepared by the McKinsey Global Institute (2017).In different stages of construction, drones and aerial photogrammetry have been implemented as a working tool to achieve higher levels of productivity in field information gathering processes in a faster, more accurate and economical way, in some cases.The purpose of the project developed in this book is to elaborate a 3D digital point cloud model of the Campus of the University of Sonora, Central Regional Unit, and compare it with one elaborated before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the objective of determining if by means of these images it is possible to identify if there were or not affectations to the university infrastructure during that lapse.
