Optical remote sensing relies on exploiting multispectral and hyper
spectral imagery possessing high spatial and spectral resolutions
respectively. These modalities, although useful for most remote
sensing tasks, often present challenges that must be addressed for
their effective exploitation. This book presents current
state-of-the-art algorithms that address the following key
challenges encountered in representation and analysis of such
optical remotely sensed data. Challenges in pre-processing images,
storing and representing high dimensional data, fusing different
sensor modalities, pattern classification and target recognition,
visualization of high dimensional imagery.
The Anglo-Scottish border in the late medieval and early modern
period was a highly contested region; both a militarized zone and a
place of cultural contact and exchange. The contributors to this
volume explore the role of this borderland in the construction of
both Scottish and English identities, seeking insight into the role
that Scotland and England played in one another's imaginations.
Texts that originated in, pass through, or comment on the
Anglo-Scottish border reveal it as a crucial third term in the
articulation of Scottish and English national consciousness and
cultural identity.
The Anglo-Scottish Border and the Shaping of Identity, 1350-1600
explores the roles that Scotland and England play in one another's
imaginations. This collection of essays brings together eminent
scholars and emerging voices from the frequently divergent fields
of English and Scottish medieval studies.

In recent years, political discourse about gun control and the
Second Amendment has become increasingly volatile and this
collection of original essays by top scholars illuminates the
various reasons why. Gun lobbies such as the National Rifle
Association are more organized and aggressive and their issue
agenda has evolved as new and more powerful weapons and militia
appear. On the other side of the debate, the critical wounding of
James Brady gave gun control advocates a visible martyr with strong
ties to Republican conservatives. In sum, gun control and the right
to bear arms have become hotly disputed issues where political
alignments are constantly shifting. The contributors chart these
changes and explore how Congress, the courts, the President, and
individual states are currently addressing the issue of gun
control. This book, which includes profiles and examinations of
relevant interest groups, the gun control coalition, recent Supreme
Court decisions, and public opinion surveys, will be of great
interest to classes in political science, American government, law,
and sociology.
