Indices and Indicators in Development: An Unhealthy Obsession with Numbers
ISBN: 9781844070121 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The use of numbers to condense complex systems into easily digested 'bites' of information is very much in fashion. At one level they are intended to enhance transparency, accountability and local democracy, while at another they provide a means of enhancing performance. However, all indicators suffer from the same basic problem that, ironically, is also their biggest advantage - condensing something highly complex into a few simple numbers. Love them or hate them, there is no denying that people use indicators to make decisions. Indices and Indicators explores the use of indicators within...

Afro-Eurasia: Assessing Sustainability, Volume 9 of the Berkshire Encyclopedia of Sustainability, focuses on the geographic area where humans originated and first began to make use of the natural world - Earth's largest landmass, stretching from Portugal in the west across the steppes of Russia and south across Africa to the Cape of Good Hope. By examining the history of human expansion, as well as 21st century pressures to address ecosystem damage across the region, international scholars and regional experts weave sustainability into core curricular subjects.

The Evolution Diet
ISBN: 9781411635036 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For 2 million years, humans evolved to eat a certain way: in the hunter/gatherer style, which consists of snacking on plant foods while roaming around before hunting and consequently filling themselves with animal meat. For the last few thousand years, however, our culture has forced us into a diet that is contrary to this. As a result, it is increasingly difficult to eat the way we were designed to eat. JSB Morse's Evolution Diet explores this modern problem and how to adjust our diet to fix it. In the book, you'll find a thoughtful, often funny, survey of the makeup of the human body,...

Control Using Logic-Based Switching
ISBN: 9783540760979 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. A logic-based switching controller is one whose subsystems include not only familiar dynamical components such as integrators, summers, gains etc. but event-driven logic and associated switches as well. In such a system the predominantly logical component is the supervisor, mode changer, etc. There has been growing interest in recent years in determining what could be gained from utilising "hybrid" controllers of this type. To this end a workshop was held on Block Island with the aim of bringing together individuals to discuss the research and common interest in the field. This volume not...

This comprehensive volume is the first to describe this multifaceted new field. It places viral evolution and emergence in a historical context, describes the interaction of viruses with hosts, and details the advances in molecular biology and epidemiology that have provided the tools necessary to track developing viral epidemics and to detect new viruses far more successfully than could be done in the recent past. This unique book also...
