Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Disasters whether natural, technological, or public health-related are increasing in frequency, scale, and complexity, with profound human, economic, and geopolitical consequences. While advances in early warning systems, infrastructure, and coordinated response have reduced some vulnerabilities, new risks driven by climate change, demographic shifts, and global interdependence threaten to reverse these gains. Against this backdrop, the need for effective legal and institutional frameworks for disaster management has never been more urgent.This open access book offers a comprehensive yet accessible overview of contemporary international disaster management from both an institutional and legal perspective. Part I examines the principal actors and coordination mechanisms shaping the international response, with particular attention to the evolution of the United Nations system and the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism as the most advanced regional model. Part II turns to the legal frameworks governing disaster management, distinguishing between post-disaster response and recovery measures on the one hand, and pre-disaster prevention and preparedness - most notably disaster risk reduction - on the other.Drawing on the latest empirical data and recent normative developments, including the Sendai Framework and the International Law Commission's Draft Articles on the Protection of Persons in the Event of Disasters, the volume situates disaster law and policy within broader debates on resilience, sustainable development, and climate adaptation. Intended as a reference text, this book is particularly valuable for scholars, students, practitioners, and policymakers seeking a structured understanding of the evolving institutional landscape and legal architecture of disaster management at both global and regional levels.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As retail systems undergo rapid digital transformation, the integration of artificial intelligence across physical and digital channels is reshaping how value is created and experienced. This book offers a timely and interdisciplinary analysis of AI-enhanced retail ecosystems, examining their implications for consumer well-being, sustainability, and competitive advantage.Bringing together perspectives from retail management, consumer behavior, service research, and innovation studies, the book develops a novel conceptual framework that positions phygital retail as a hybrid, human-centered model. It highlights how artificial intelligence can augment-rather than replace-relational and experiential dimensions of retail, enabling more integrated and meaningful customer experiences.Grounded in a rigorous mixed-method approach combining qualitative interviews and quantitative analysis, the study provides empirical evidence that AI-enhanced phygital configurations are a key driver of consumer well-being, outperforming standalone physical or digital channels while reinforcing sustainability outcomes.By focusing on small proximity retailers within increasingly platform-dominated markets, this book makes a distinctive contribution to contemporary debates on digital transformation, responsible innovation, and sustainable value creation. It will be valuable reading for researchers and postgraduate students across retail, marketing, and digital business disciplines. 124 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book reinterprets Celso Furtado as a major thinker of International Political Economy and Global International Relations, demonstrating the contemporary relevance of his work for understanding development, global inequality, and the changing world economy. Rather than treating Furtado solely as a Brazilian economist or Latin American structuralist, this book argues that his ideas offer powerful analytical tools for explaining the evolution of global capitalism and the enduring challenges faced by the Global South. Beginning with the debates on Global International Relations and Latin American structuralism, the chapters examine Furtado s concepts of development and underdevelopment, his analysis of the international division of labour, and his reflections on technology, multinational corporations, natural resources, and environmental limits. The book concludes by outlining a Furtadian approach to International Political Economy, showing how his thought helps illuminate contemporary debates on deglobalization, hegemony, dependence, and alternative development strategies for the Global South. 137 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the macroeconomic consequences of rapid process innovation during the 1920s and early 1930s through Albert Einstein s writings on technological unemployment and purchasing power. It identifies a concrete, economy wide source of technical progress compatible with physical laws: the transition to electric unit drive and the rise of large scale, interconnected utilities, which increased machine speeds and effective rated capacity across U.S. industry. The author provides a structured framework that links physical principles to macroeconomic outcomes, an empirically grounded narrative on electrification and unit drive, and a concise reassessment of technological unemployment as a macro structural issue rather than a firm level anomaly.The study builds on a kinetics based account of wealth creating material processes and models production using classical mechanics, thermodynamics, and process engineering to show how acceleration raised measured productivity while firms faced aggregate demand constraints. It documents 1920s evidence on machine speed and acceleration, integrates these mechanisms into a macroeconomic model with acceleration, and revisits the 1930s policy debate on hours, wages, and institutional design. The analysis distinguishes Einstein s diagnosis regarding technology driven labor displacement from his broader reflections on capitalism versus socialism, positioning both within the economic and intellectual history of the period. The book closes by outlining structural impediments to incomizing potential output, drawing lessons from the post 1939 recovery, and clarifying where Einstein s policy instincts align with the historical record. 137 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Boards today are operating in the most volatile governance environment in modern history, defined by rapid technological change, AI-driven decision-making systems, geopolitical instability, regulatory scrutiny, and rising stakeholder expectations. This book addresses why traditional governance models fail under pressure and how boards must evolve to remain effective, resilient, and credible.Drawing on cutting-edge research and two decades of executive and boardroom experience, this book introduces a connected governance model that integrates network science, AI oversight, cognitive diversity, and crisis preparedness. Rather than treating governance as a static compliance function, this book reframes it as a dynamic leadership system that depends on how boards process information, manage interdependencies, and anticipate emerging risks.Through in-depth case studies of Silicon Valley Bank, Boeing, OpenAI, FTX, Signature Bank, and First Republic, the book reveals common governance breakdowns and extracts actionable lessons for directors and executives to avoid similar failures. Readers are guided through practical tools for board mapping, artificial intelligence (AI) risk oversight, data-driven self-assessment and scenario-based decision-making.Written for directors, senior executives, and governance professionals, Board Governance Rewired serves as both a diagnostic guide and implementation playbook. It equips readers with immediately usable frameworks to strengthen board effectiveness, enhance resilience, and deliver ethical, future-ready governance in an age of constant disruption. 196 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book offers the first comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination of the art market s entry segment where objects of modest monetary value circulate yet hold significant cultural, social, and economic meaning. The volume reframes the low-end market as a dynamic ecosystem shaped by heterogeneity, shifting categories, and alternative logics of value creation. Contributors explore how everyday cultural goods, from antiques and decorative arts to prints, collectibles, and vernacular objects, challenge conventional hierarchies of taste and prestige.Through case studies spanning flea markets, auction platforms, galleries, and digital marketplaces, the book interrogates mechanisms of trust, scarcity, branding, and symbolic capital in contexts where traditional markers of authenticity and consecration are absent or contested. Drawing on cultural economics, art history, sociology, anthropology, and heritage studies, among others, the chapters discuss the impact of informal economies, digitization, and sustainability imperatives on art markets and consumer behavior. By documenting these overlooked segments, the volume addresses survival bias in art market research and opens new pathways for understanding cultural value beyond elite consumption. This book will be an essential volume for scholars working in cultural economics, art market studies, economic sociology, and creative industries more broadly. 576 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book approaches self-destructive thoughts and behaviours as inextricable from supernatural belief. It sheds light on the multifaceted ways early modern people negotiated and responded to a range of suicidal thoughts and behaviours which they identified as originating from the devil. Much of the scholarship on suicide has been limited to death by suicide and the legal consequences of this crime. In contrast, this book utilises encounters with the supernatural to access stories of the temptation to harm or kill oneself, as recorded in Britain and New England from the late sixteenth to the early eighteenth century, to centre the experiences of suicidal people and those around them. In unpicking suicide from its criminal context and situating it within a supernatural one, it argues that suicidal thoughts and acts were not nearly so stigmatised in the early modern period as has been assumed. Indeed, the entrenchment of suicidal behaviour within the 'script' of supernatural affliction facilitated its expression. 315 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This open access book examines Turkish and Kurdish settlement in Italy, an under-studied 'second-best destination' within Europe's stratified mobility regime. Centering a context long overshadowed by Northern European hubs, it shows how border governance, legal status, segmented labour markets, and welfare arrangements combine to shape migrant lives at the margins of the continent's more resourced receiving societies. Drawing on decade-long ethnographic fieldwork and more than 100 interviews with families and second-generation young adults, the book traces trajectories of arrival, through asylum, irregular transit, family reunification, and work networks, and the gradual consolidation of lives in which onward-migration remains a live horizon.Through the concepts of 'learning to stay' and 'diasporic marginalities,' the analysis moves between intimate family routines and wider transnational social fields. It examines gendered labor, religious and associational infrastructures, and the digital comparisons through which migrants position Italy against more established diasporic centers in Europe. Destinations, the book argues, are structurally produced positions, not chosen endpoints, a reframing that opens new ground for understanding how precarity, aspiration, and belonging are negotiated across mobile lives.The book speaks to scholars and students in the sociology of migration, diaspora studies, and transnational studies, as well as practitioners working on integration policy, legal precarity, and everyday bordering.Springer Nature Customer Service Center GmbH, Europaplatz 3, 69115 Heidelberg 156 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This open access book highlights the historical significance of Titanic, and its impact on law, including the first treaty on maritime safety - the Safety Of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS). The work covers the laws that protect Titanic, e.g., the 1986 RMS Titanic Maritime Memorial Act, the international agreement on Titanic, and the 2017 implementing legislation that enabled its Entry into Force between the US, and UK. UNESCO's 2001 Convention has also protected Titanic since 2012. The authors specifically address the evolution of these laws and policies from their perspectives. They explain how a US District Court has jurisdiction over a British flagged vessel under the high seas and the decades of litigation that resulted in Orders of the court that protect the public interest in Titanic. It has taken decades for the Agreement to become law, which now seeks to safeguard the wreck site of Titanic as a Maritime Memorial, a historic and archaeological resource that is being preserved.Springer Nature Customer Service Center GmbH, Europaplatz 3, 69115 Heidelberg 132 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book analyses museums of computing in several pivotal dimensions. As institutions of cultural memory, they continue to play major roles in how we understand our mediated situation; there are many 'missing narratives' in media history, and museums have been part of the response to those challenges. Yet media technology advances quickly, and a lot of the discourse about media is hype about present and future perspectives - it can seem as if rapid changes are the only constant, especially in computing. As museums became institutions that associate objects with learning to help us understand the world, they responded to the needs of the cultures that create them - but digital media pose a range of difficult questions in this nexus. Museums help constitute our collective understanding of the history of computing, and by the same token networked computing has come to complicate the role of museums. Examining the impressive expansion of the museum model also requires analysis of the extent to which the legacy of the museum is challenged by assumptions about obsolescence, forgetting, erasure in digital culture.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 164 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This brief focuses on the challenges and solutions related to (specifically) output delays in sliding-mode-controlled systems; in some cases input delays could be incorporated by analogy. It treats the complexity introduced in sliding-mode control by delay and addresses potential issues connected with reduced robustness. It emphasizes delay types of practical importance in such different contexts as: fault reconstruction, disturbance rejection and stabilization.The authors provide a snapshot of current understanding while laying foundations that will remain relevant as the field advances. The text balances rigor and accessibility, breadth and depth, and theoretical development and practical application. It provides the reader with specialized tools to tackle the challenges posed by the growth in input and output delays following on inevitably from the increasing prevalence of networked and distributed systems.Sliding-Mode Control and Estimation for Time-Delay Systems is primarily intended for graduate students, researchers and practicing engineers working on robust and nonlinear control of time-delay systems. Students will find it to be a structured entry point into an important subfield of robust control. Researchers will gain a comprehensive reference on the state of the art and key open problems. Practitioners will find actionable design methodologies and implementation guidelines tailored to real-world challenges.Springer Nature Customer Service Center GmbH, Europaplatz 3,69115 Heidelberg, Germany, Heidelberg 144 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book provides a comprehensive and critical examination of health-related fitness assessment in physical education, one of the discipline's most enduring and controversial practices. It moves beyond the simplistic debate of which test is 'best' to argue a more profound thesis: the educational value of fitness testing is not inherent in the tool itself, but is almost entirely determined by the pedagogical culture in which it is implemented. The book deconstructs the common, performance-driven approaches that often lead to student anxiety and disengagement, and systematically builds a robust, evidence-based pedagogical framework for transforming assessment into a powerful tool for learning and empowerment. 287 pp. Englisch.…
