ISBN: 9780754646907 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book discusses the history and contemporary practice of studying cultures 'at home', by examining Europe's regional or 'small' ethnologies of the past, present and future. With the rise of nationalism and independence in Europe, ethnologies have often played a major role in the nation-building process. The contributors to this book offer case studies of ethnologies as methodologies, showing how they can address key questions concerning everyday life in Europe. They also explore issues of European integration and the transnational dimension of culture in Europe today, and examine how...

Regional Inequalities in Ukraine - Causes, Consequences, Policy Implications
ISBN: 9783639057393 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Regional development becomes an important issue in both developed and developing societies as regional inequality evolves with time. Few analyses have been done on regional inequalities of the former Soviet countries such as Ukraine. This lack of research can be explained by the socialist regional policy of equality that was dominant during the Soviet era. During transition to the market economy inequality has increased entailing negative processes in the society. A broad goal of this study is to improve understanding of regional development processes in countries that are in transition from...

Theory and Methods: Critical Essays in Human Geography
ISBN: 9780754627098 / Angielski / Twarda / 698 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume tackles the complex terrain of theory and methods, seeking to exemplify the major philosophical, social-theoretic and methodological developments - some with clear political and ethical implications - that have traversed human geography since the era of the 1960s when spatial science came to the fore. Coverage includes Marxist and humanistic geographies, and their many variations over the years, as well as ongoing debates about agency-structure and the concepts of time, space, place and scale. Feminist and other 'positioned' geographies, alongside poststructuralist and...

The Rural: Critical Essays in Human Geography
ISBN: 9780754627210 / Angielski / Twarda / 562 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The rural has long been regarded as an important site of geographical inquiry even if our understanding of it has not always been treated as conceptually different from the urban. That said, rural research has pursued a number of distinct empirical agendas ranging from the operation and impacts of agribusiness, to local resistance to global food supply chains, to differing representations of the rural. In doing so, rural geographers have critically examined the relevance and significance of ideas drawn from numerous traditions including political economy, ecological modernization and cultural...

The City: Critical Essays in Human Geography
ISBN: 9780754628149 / Angielski / Twarda / 648 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The spread of urbanization has transformed the concept of the city, but the way urban planners, urban scientists and, above all, urban dwellers address it has also changed, probably even more so. The city is thus a new topic for geography, a discipline that has experienced an ambiguous relationship to cities in the past. What kind of geography is required in order to bring fresh insight to this renewed field? Drawing together a wide range of texts from philosophers, sociologists and economist as well as geographers and urban planners, this volume provides a theoretical framework within which...

Peasant Adaptation to Environmental Change
ISBN: 9783639066920 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the primary challenges facing researchers and practitioners in their efforts to address issues of poverty and environment is the need to deepen our understanding of the logic that guides people's decisions over resource use, particularly among the rural poor whose livelihoods often depend on fragile and dynamic environments. This study seeks to identify the set of factors that influences how people respond to abrupt environmental disturbances and resource scarcity through changes in livelihood and resource management practices in two riverine communities of the Peruvian Amazon. The...

This breakthrough book is the first to examine the rotational effects in earthquakes, a revolutionary concept in seismology. Existing models do no yet explain the significant rotational and twisting motions that occur during an earthquake and cause the failure of structures. The rotation and twist effects are investigated and described, and their consequences for designing tall buildings and other important structures are presented. This book will change the way the world views earthquakes. This breakthrough book is the first to examine the rotational effects in earthquakes, a revolutionary concept in seismology.

Zulu Shores, South Africa
ISBN: 9783639094985 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Post-apartheid South Africa is a good laboratory to study race related topics. This unique country gives us the opportunity to look at the new relationships between the different groups (Whites, Blacks, Indians and Coloureds) that were forcibly segregated during the colonial and the apartheid eras. Racism did not end with the abrogation of apartheid laws in the beginning of the 1990 s. Even if the country looks today superficially changed, evolution of mentalities and perceptions between the different groups are slow. Racism still exists but is sometimes concealed behind new politically...

Longitudinal Data Observed Over Unequal Time Intervals Modeling Correlations In The Analysis Of Binary Outcomes Data
ISBN: 9783639110142 / Angielski / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This monograph extends previous work on the evaluation of GEE performance in parameter estimation with correlation structure misspecification. It examines a new structure to model the correlation between binary responses observed over unequal time intervals. The proposed unequal-time correlation structure accounts for unequal intervals by fixing the correlation coefficient and interval length between the first 2 observations and by adjusting the correlations for subsequent pairs by their relative interval length. To evaluate this structure, correlated binary responses under the logistic model...

A Life Cycle for Clusters?: The Dynamics of Agglomeration, Change, and Adaption
ISBN: 9783790817102 / Angielski / Miękka / 245 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book studies the determinants of cluster survival by analyzing their adaptability to change in the economic environment. Linking theoretic knowledge with empirical observations, a simulation model (based in the N/K method) is developed, which explains when and why the cluster's architecture assists or hampers adaptability. It is found that architectures with intermediate degrees of division of labor and more collective governance forms foster adaptability. This book studies the determinants of cluster survival by analyzing their adaptability to change in the economic environment. Linking theoretic kno... |
