"The view from above, or the 'bird's-eye' view, has become so ingrained in contemporary visual culture that it is now hard to imagine our world without it. It has risen to pre-eminence as a way of seeing, but important questions about its effects and meanings remain unexplored. More powerfully than any other visual modality, this image of 'everywhere' supports our idea of a world-view, yet it is one that continues to be transformed as technologies are invented and refined. This innovative volume, edited by Mark Dorrian and Frederic Pousin, offers an unprecedented range of discussions on the aerial view, covering topics from sixteenth-century Roman maps to the Luftwaffe's aerial survey of Warsaw to Google Earth. Underpinned by a cross-disciplinary approach that draws together diverse and previously isolated material, this volume examines the politics and poetics of the aerial view in relation to architecture, art, film, literature, photography and urbanism and explores its role in areas such as aesthetics and epistemology. Structured through a series of detailed case studies, this book builds into a cultural history of the aerial imagination."--

A View from Above examines various ways in which Revelation has been interpreted. The (1) Partial Preterist believes that many images and prophecies were fulfilled in the events related to Jerusalem's destruction in A.D. 70, including Jesus' coming with the clouds of judgment. (2) Full- or Hyper-Preterists go so far as to claim that the destruction of A.D. 70 was the "fulfillment of all that has been written," so that ALL previously unfulfilled biblical prophecies were brought to fulfillment, including resurrection, rapture, final judgment, and Satan's consignment to the lake of fire. The (3) Church-Historical view understands that events which have unfolded throughout the church's history were prefigured or foretold in picturesque fashion. (4) Classic or Historic Premillenialism expects Jesus to return and establish an earthly kingdom of righteousness, peace, and prosperity. (5) Dispensational Premillennialism is probably the most recognized theory in North America; Jesus is expected to secretly remove his people from earth prior to a seven-year period of intense hardship and divine judgment on sin. A personal antichrist will emerge, only to be defeated in a climactic battle at Armageddon. The righteous will be resurrected to enjoy for 1,000 years the fulfillment of all God's promises to the Jews under the messianic rule of Jesus. After this period, a final onslaught of Satan will be overthrown and the wicked will be resurrected to face the final judgment. (6) Progressive Dispensationalism differs from the traditional version by saying that the church was anticipated in the Old Testament and fulfills in part many of its prophecies. Instead of seeing one salvation plan for Israel and another for the church, this view recognizes only one covenant. While traditional dispensationalists insist on a literal interpretation of Scripture wherever possible, progressives admit that the New Testament itself does not always handle Old Testament prophecies in that way. (7) Postmillennialism understands that with the ascension (enthronement) of Christ and the spread of the gospel, conditions on earth will progressively-though intermittently-improve until this present world is largely Christianized. After this millennial period, Jesus will return to initiate final judgment and the eternal state. (8) Amillennialism holds that Revelation's 1,000 years picture either the present spiritual exaltation of believers or the present reign of deceased believers with Christ. Earthly conditions will continue to involve suffering and persecution of believers until Jesus returns and the day of resurrection occurs-to be followed immediately by judgment and its eternal results. (9) The Apocalyptic perspective, which may or may not be integrated with one of the foregoing positions, understands Revelation to be an example of an extinct literary style. A View from Above also examines how the early history of the church impacted the message of Revelation. It addresses theological concepts such as prophecy, God's kingdom, rapture, antichrist, and the new heaven and earth. Of particular importance are the practical issues to be learned and practiced in daily life.

Epistemological Disjunctivism written by Duncan Pritchard and has been published by OUP Oxford this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012-09-06 with Philosophy categories.
Duncan Pritchard offers an original defence of epistemological disjunctivism. This is an account of perceptual knowledge which contends that such knowledge is paradigmatically constituted by a true belief that enjoys rational support which is both factive and reflectively accessible to the agent. In particular, in a case of paradigmatic perceptual knowledge that p, the subject's rational support for believing that p is that she sees that p, where this rational support is both reflectively accessible and factive (i.e., it entails p). Such an account of perceptual knowledge poses a radical challenge to contemporary epistemology, since by the lights of standard views in epistemology this proposal is simply incoherent. Pritchard's aim in Epistemological Disjunctivism is to show that this proposal is theoretically viable (i.e., that it does not succumb to the problems that it appears to face), and also to demonstrate that this is an account of perceptual knowledge which we would want to endorse if it were available on account of its tremendous theoretical potential. In particular, he argues that epistemological disjunctivism offers a way through the impasse between epistemic externalism and internalism, and also provides the foundation for a distinctive response to the problem of radical scepticism.

We forget our passwords. We pay too much to go to the gym. We think we’d be happier if we lived in California (we wouldn’t), and we think we should stick with our first answer on tests (we shouldn’t). Why do we make mistakes? And could we do a little better? We human beings have design flaws. Our eyes play tricks on us, our stories change in the retelling, and most of us are fairly sure we’re way above average. In Why We Make Mistakes, journalist Joseph T. Hallinan sets out to explore the captivating science of human error—how we think, see, remember, and forget, and how this sets us up for wholly irresistible mistakes. In his quest to understand our imperfections, Hallinan delves into psychology, neuroscience, and economics, with forays into aviation, consumer behavior, geography, football, stock picking, and more. He discovers that some of the same qualities that make us efficient also make us error prone. We learn to move rapidly through the world, quickly recognizing patterns—but overlooking details. Which is why thirteen-year-old boys discover errors that NASA scientists miss—and why you can’t find the beer in your refrigerator. Why We Make Mistakes is enlivened by real-life stories—of weathermen whose predictions are uncannily accurate and a witness who sent an innocent man to jail—and offers valuable advice, such as how to remember where you’ve hidden something important. You’ll learn why multitasking is a bad idea, why men make errors women don’t, and why most people think San Diego is west of Reno (it’s not). Why We Make Mistakes will open your eyes to the reasons behind your mistakes—and have you vowing to do better the next time.

Professional photographer Henry Do redefines how we view the world in a fearless perspective on aerial photography. From lush tropical paradises to the stark patterns of urban landscapes, pay homage to the wonders of the world from above. Henry Do’s first experience with the power of aerial perspective was flying from Vietnam to the United States as a childwhile immigrating with his aunt. He still remembers the fear, exhilaration, and perspective he felt when looking at the world from the sky, and he has made it his life’s work to share the power of such images with hundreds of thousands of viewers across the world. From Above is the first book dedicated to Do’s stunning work, showing people the majesty of desolate landscapes and the arresting patterns of urban planning. This sweeping visual exploration circles the globe and finds beauty in concrete jungles, iconic landmarks, breathtaking landscapes, and perplexing architecture. With each image, Do aims to give his audience the same experience he had as a boy seeing the earth from above for the very first time, so that each one of these images evokes those same feelings for viewers, and reminds us that we are all part of something greater than ourselves. “I still remember the view from that plane, the beauty of the landscape, and the feeling that humanity is so small. In the middle of the biggest transition of my life, I discovered the catalyst for what would become my passion and my art.”—Henry Do Henry Do is a professional photographer specializing in creative aerial photography. His work has been featured in numerous international publications, including Le Figaro, Lonely Planet, The Telegraph, and National Geographic. Do has also partnered with dozens of the world’s best brands and philanthropies, including Adobe, Hilton Hotels, Lufthansa, BMW, and the World Wildlife Fund.
