Images of Mind by Michael I Posner

This is the first book entirely devoted to providing a perspective on the state-of-the-art of cloud computing and energy services and the impact on designing sustainable systems. Cloud computing services provide an efficient approach for connecting infrastructures and can support sustainability in different ways. For example, the design of more efficient cloud services can contribute in reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. The chapters in this book address conceptual principles and illustrate the latest achievements and development updates concerning sustainable cloud and energy services. This book serves as a useful reference for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and practitioners interested in the design, implementation and deployment of sustainable cloud based energy services. Professionals in the areas of power engineering, computer science, and environmental science and engineering will find value in the multidisciplinary approach to sustainable cloud and energy services presented in this book.

Michael Posner is currently Professor Emeritus at the University of Oregon and Adjunct Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry at the Weill Medical College of Cornell, where he served as founding director of the Sackler Institute. Posner is well known for his work with Marcus Raichle on imaging the
human brain during cognitive tasks. A volume Images of Mind resulted from that collaboration. He has worked on the anatomy, circuitry, development and genetics of three attentional networks underlying maintaining alertness, orienting to sensory events and voluntary control of thoughts and ideas.
His methods for measuring these networks have been applied to a wide range of neurological, psychiatric and developmental disorders. His current research involves training of attention in young children and adults to understand the interaction of specific experience and genes in shaping attention.
A volume describing this work, Educating the Human Brain with M.K. Rothbart, has been published by APA Books.
His work has been recognized by numerous awards including 7 honorary degrees, election to the National Academy of Sciences of the USA, and most recently the National Medal of Science. At Oxford University Press, he is former US Delegate in Psychology.
