The State of the World Atlas

The State of the World Atlas

Over 50 full-colour world maps and graphics break down hardcore statistics to provide a compelling analysis of all the political social economic and ecological nightmares that keep us awake at night. • The world's car population has grown five times as fast as the human population over the last 50 years. • Wal-Mart's sales revenue exceeds the GDP of 150 countries. • Climate change may put 2. 7 billion at risk of armed conflict. • Germany generates more tourists than anywhere else. • Americans use 160 times more water than people in Rwanda. If you want to get behind the headlines and understand the world - from urbanization to globalization terrorism to tourism military spending to human rights - The State of the World Atlas is unmatched.

The Internet and the Customer-Supplier Relationship

The Internet and the Customer-Supplier Relationship

This title was first published in 2003. An exhaustive and synthetic framework for the use of Internet tools in customer-supplier relationships is one aspect of e-business that is still missing from existing literature. This book analyses the main management implications related to the adoption of the Internet in the supply chain and unifies different research studies and contributions in order to build such a framework. It is based on wide empirical evidence including four in-depth case studies in both Europe and the US a cross-industry survey of more than 160 US companies and website research describing emerging Internet initiatives in B2B relationships. By creating a concrete link between theory and practice it should appeal to academics and practitioners alike. | The Internet and the Customer-Supplier Relationship

COVID-19 and Schools Policy Stakeholders and School Choice

COVID-19 and Schools Policy Stakeholders and School Choice

This book features contributions from leading experts who present peer reviewed research on how the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic affected U. S. teachers students parents teaching practices enrolments and institutional innovations offering the first empirical findings exploring educational impacts likely to last for decades. The COVID-19 pandemic presented the greatest crisis in the history of U. S. schooling with America’s 50 states thousands of school systems and tens of thousands of private and charter schools responding in myriad ways. This book brings together peer reviewed empirical research on how U. S. schools responded and on the educational and health impacts likely to persist for many years. Contributors explore how the U. S. responses differed from those in other countries with slower reopening and both reopening and modes of instruction varying widely across states and school sectors. Compared to European countries U. S. responses to reopening schools reflected political influences more than health or educational needs though this was less true in market-based private and charter schools. The pandemic was a catalyst for school choice movements across the U. S. Many parents reacted to school closings by exploring alternatives to traditional public schools including an important and likely permanent innovation small parent-created or “pod” schools. As the papers here detail long term student learning loss and health and socioemotional impacts of COVID-19 closings may well last for decades. The volume concludes by exploring teacher experiences across different sectors following the pandemic. COVID-19 and Schools will be a key resource for academics researchers and advanced students of education education policy and leadership educational research research methods economics sociology and psychology. The chapters included in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of School Choice. | COVID-19 and Schools Policy Stakeholders and School Choice

Tropical Marine Mollusks An Illustrated Biogeographical Guide

Tropical Marine Mollusks An Illustrated Biogeographical Guide

Marine biogeography the study of the spatial distribution of organisms in the world’s oceans is one of the most fascinating branches of oceanography. This book continues the pioneering research into the distributions of molluscan faunas first studied by biologists over 160 years ago. It illustrates 1778 species of gastropods in full color many of which are extremely rare and poorly known endemic species that are illustrated for the first time outside of their original descriptions. The spatial arrangements of malacofaunas shown in this book can be considered proxies for worldwide oceanic conditions and used as tools for determining patterns of global climate change. The book's documentation of evolutionary hot spots and geographically restricted endemic faunas can also be used as a base line for future studies on patterns of environmental deterioration and extinction in the marine biosphere. Documenting the evolution of the amazingly rich worldwide gastropod fauna this book will appeal to physical and chemical oceanographers systematic and evolutionary biologists historical geologists paleontologists climatologists geomorphologists and physical geographers. The authors incorporate aspects of all of these disciplines into a new classification system for the nomenclature of biogeographical spatial units found in tropical subtropical and warm temperate seas. | Tropical Marine Mollusks An Illustrated Biogeographical Guide

Guidebook for Systems Applications in Astrobiology

Guidebook for Systems Applications in Astrobiology

This book addresses the timely subject of systems applications in astrobiology. It demonstrates how astrobiology – a multidisciplinary interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary field of science – can benefit from adopting the systems approach. Astrobiology draws upon its founding sciences such as astronomy physics chemistry biochemistry geology and planetary sciences. However astrobiologists can encounter difficulties working across these fields. The systems approach we believe is the best contemporary approach to consider astrobiology holistically. The approach is currently used in other fields such as engineering which uses systems analysis routinely. Such an approach needs to be learned both in principle and through examples from the field. This book features chapters from experts across the field of astrobiology who have applied the systems approach. It will be a valuable guide for astrobiology students at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels in addition to researchers in the field both in academia and the space industry. Key Features: Offers a unique and novel approach to studying and understanding astrobiology Encourages astrobiologists to apply a holistic systems approach to their work rather than being bogged down in details Imparts practical knowledge to readers which can be adopted in different research and job opportunities in the field of astrobiology Vera M. Kolb obtained degrees in chemical engineering and organic chemistry from Belgrade University Serbia and earned her PhD in organic chemistry from Southern Illinois University Carbondale Illinois United States. Following a 30-year career she is Professor Emerita of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Kenosha Wisconsin. During her first sabbatical leave with the NASA Specialized Center of Research and Training (NSCORT) in Astrobiology she conducted research with Dr. Leslie Orgel at the Salk Institute and Prof. Stanley Miller at UC San Diego. Her second sabbatical was with Prof. Joseph Lambert at Northwestern University where she studied sugar silicates and their potential astrobiological relevance. She is credited for authoring over 160 publications in the fields of organic and medicinal chemistry green chemistry and astrobiology including several books. Recently she authored Green Organic Chemistry and Its Interdisciplinary Applications (CRC 2016). In the astrobiology field she edited Astrobiology: An Evolutionary Approach (CRC 2015) and Handbook of Astrobiology (CRC 2019). She co-authored (with Benton C. Clark) Astrobiology for a General Reader: A Questions and Answers Approach (CSP 2020) and Systems Approach to Astrobiology (CRC 2023). | Guidebook for Systems Applications in Astrobiology
