Naturkatastrophen und ihre Bilder sind allgegenwartig; innerhalb der Kultur- und Bildwissenschaften sind jedoch bislang keine umfassenden Versuche unternommen worden, sie in einem transkulturellen Zusammenhang zu analysieren.Der Band folgt der gleichnamigen Konferenz, die der Cluster Asia and Europe 2012 an der Universitat Heidelberg veranstaltet hat, und versammelt Beitrage aus der interdisziplinaren Forschung zur Darstellung, Vermittlung und Interpretation von Katastrophen. Zugleich bildet er die wissenschaftliche Grundlage fur die Ausstellung Atlantis bis Fukushima , die 2014 in den Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen in Mannheim gezeigt wird. Die behandelten Themen reichen von Fallstudien zur historischen Bildfindung in der europaischen Renaissance bis zur Untersuchung aktueller Medienphanomene, wie der internationalen Berichterstattung der Katastrophen des 21ten Jahrhunderts.

BENEATH THE ASHES portrays the human condition that resulted from the unprecendented natural disaster caused by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines during the summer of 1991. It is a handsome, high quality book containing photographs & text which together capture the daily struggle of lives transformed by the power of nature. The full-page color images are accompanied by eloquently written narration & verse which transcend the facts to relate a first-hand account of the Filipinos' strength & abiding faith. It is the only serious document of an ongoing tragedy among the greatest natural disasters of the 20th century. Co-authored by two brothers, one an accomplished photographer, the other an accomplished writer & educator, it is a non-profit publication, with all net proceeds being donated to recovery efforts in the Philippines. RALPH NADER calls it "a collaboration worth emulating on a small & large scale in our society...The color pictures portray the devastation, the flight of families, the poignant way children & their parents adapt, & the heroic behavior that rises from these ashes." BENEATH THE ASHES combines photography, poetry, history, geology, & philanthropy to make it a publication with wide appeal.

Machine learning allows for non-conventional and productive answers for issues within various fields, including problems related to visually perceptive computers. Applying these strategies and algorithms to the area of computer vision allows for higher achievement in tasks such as spatial recognition, big data collection, and image processing. There is a need for research that seeks to understand the development and efficiency of current methods that enable machines to see. Challenges and Applications for Implementing Machine Learning in Computer Vision is a collection of innovative research that combines theory and practice on adopting the latest deep learning advancements for machines capable of visual processing. Highlighting a wide range of topics such as video segmentation, object recognition, and 3D modelling, this publication is ideally designed for computer scientists, medical professionals, computer engineers, information technology practitioners, industry experts, scholars, researchers, and students seeking current research on the utilization of evolving computer vision techniques.

Historical disaster research is still a young field. This book discusses the experiences of natural disasters in different cultures, from Europe across the Near East to Asia. It focuses on the pre-industrial era and on the question of similarities, differences and transcultural dynamics in the cultural handling of natural disasters. Which long-lasting cultural patterns of perception, interpretation and handling of disasters can be determined? Have specific types of disasters changed the affected societies? What have people learned from disasters and what not? What adaptation and coping strategies existed? Which natural, societal and economic parameters play a part? The book not only reveals the historical depth of present practices, but also reveals possible comparisons that show globalization processes, entanglements and exchanges of ideas and practices in pre-modern times.

“[An] insightful view on how 9/11 is perceived in American society—the day that ‘refuses to enter history,’ the tragedy that ‘has, in effect, not yet passed.’” —Journal of Popular Culture The day the towers fell, indelible images of plummeting rubble, fire, and falling bodies were imprinted in the memories of people around the world. Images that were caught in the media loop after the disaster and coverage of the attack, its aftermath, and the wars that followed reflected a pervasive tendency to treat these tragic events as spectacle. Though the collapse of the World Trade Center was “the most photographed disaster in history,” it failed to yield a single noteworthy image of carnage. Thomas Stubblefield argues that the absence within these spectacular images is the paradox of 9/11 visual culture, which foregrounds the visual experience as it obscures the event in absence, erasure, and invisibility. From the spectral presence of the Tribute in Light to Art Spiegelman’s nearly blank New Yorker cover, from the elimination of the Twin Towers from TV shows and films to the monumental cavities of Michael Arad’s 9/11 memorial, the void became the visual shorthand for the incident. By examining configurations of invisibility and erasure across the media of photography, film, monuments, graphic novels, and digital representation, Stubblefield interprets the post-9/11 presence of absence as the reaffirmation of national identity that implicitly laid the groundwork for the impending invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. “A concise, engaging, and thought-provoking work that asks the reader to reassess their knowledge and relationship to that moment and the resulting milieu of post 9/11 life in America.” —ARLIS/NA Reviews “Extraordinarily brilliant . . . will change how we think about disasters and tragedies. The book is a must-read for both students and practitioners of media studies.” —Repository

In a world where natural disasters wreak havoc with increasing frequency and severity, the need for accurate prediction and effective management has never been more critical. From earthquakes shattering communities to floods submerging vast regions, these events endanger lives and strain resources and infrastructure to their limits. Yet, amidst this turmoil, traditional forecasting methods often need to catch up, leaving us vulnerable and reactive rather than proactive. This comprehensive academic collection provides a beacon of hope in uncertain circumstances: Internet of Things and AI for Natural Disaster Management and Prediction. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, this book empowers academics, policymakers, and practitioners alike to harness the full potential of machine learning in safeguarding lives and livelihoods.

Imaging Disaster is a rich social history of Japan’s Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. Drawing on a kaleidoscopic range of images from the fine arts, magazines, cartoons, and other popular sources, Gennifer Weisenfeld has produced an original study of this catastrophic event from an art historical perspective. —Jonathan Reynolds, Barnard College Imaging Disaster is an exhaustive and illuminating study of the visual culture generated by Japan’s most devastating natural disaster. Comprehensive in scope—covering photography, cinema, painting, postcards, sketches, urban planning, and even scientific models—Weisenfeld makes a compelling point that the massive profusion of visual representations that followed the quake must itself be considered an integral part of this tragic historical event.—Seiji Lippit, UCLA
