Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This open access book explores the transnational mobility of privileged migrants. The notion of privilege has the merit of bringing to light various less-studied forms of migration, such as retirement, lifestyle, investment, amenity, elite, highly skilled and international residential mobilities. This book investigates the concept of privilege and examines its analytical reach in capturing and describing migration processes of middle- and high-income people. It advances the notion that privilege entails a critical assessment of power differentials, and that privileged migration is inherently relational, thus requiring to be contrasted to less privileged experiences of migration marked by precarity, vulnerability and a lesser choice. Throughout its 12 chapters, the volume broadens the geography of lifestyle and privileged migration, from being overly focused on North-South migration to including privileged forms of mobility emerging among the middle and elite classes from new areasof accumulation in the Global South.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Why do some teams do just enough while others give everything Why do some enterprises stall while upstarts sprint Why do some people merely comply while their peers fully commit Because of two fundamentally different sources of motivation. Most managers rely on carrots and sticks, resulting in command-and-control compliance. The best leaders tap into something deeper and far older than management: the way human beings are hardwired to commit to a common cause, triggering extraordinary effort and achievement.Drawing on first-hand experience across global enterprises and tech unicorns, as well as case studies ranging from smokejumpers and spec-op missions to digital transformations and corporate innovation labs, this book puts a name to what separates the committed from the compliant. Hardwired Leadership gives professionals a proven mechanism to unleash exceptional performance in everyday people, whether in a team, a division, or an organization.The Hardwired framework isn t a new twist on leadership. It s an illumination of human behavior and a road map to diehard commitment. 260 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -AI and the Liberal Arts: Learning on the Edge of Our Future examines how liberal arts education prepares humans to exercise judgment, responsibility, creativity, and ethical reasoning in partnership with generative artificial intelligence. As AI becomes embedded in teaching, research, and professional life, higher education faces not merely a technological challenge but a human one: how to cultivate the intellectual and moral capacities needed to engage AI wisely.Distinct from tool-driven or policy-oriented accounts of AI in education, this book centers liberal arts ways of knowing-interpretation, ethical reasoning, historical and contextual understanding, communication, creativity, and interdisciplinary thinking-as essential infrastructure for an AI-rich future. Organized into five chapters, the book moves from the inevitability of AI's presence, to the role of humans as moral agents 'behind the wheel,' to the specific skills fostered by liberal arts education, and finally to AI as a complex, interdisciplinary 'wicked problem.' 100 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the political economy of legal and governance reform in Central Asia, with a focus on the interaction between formal institutions and informal practices. It addresses a central question: why decades of market-oriented reforms have not produced fully credible, rule-based economic systems.Drawing on original empirical research, the volume shows that reform outcomes are constrained by two interrelated forces. First, incumbent elites often lack incentives to enforce formal rules impartially when such reforms threaten entrenched rent-seeking arrangements. Second, deeply embedded informal norms, networks, and social conventions frequently compete with or undermine formal legal frameworks, weakening market signals and eroding institutional trust.Situated within changing political leadership and shifting geopolitical conditions, the volume also explores emerging opportunities for reform and regional integration. It reflects on policy sequencing, state capacity, and the limits of externally driven reform models, arguing that sustainable change depends on aligning incentives with local practices rather than transplanting formal rules. The analysis underscores the importance of gradual institutional adaptation, credible enforcement, and context-sensitive strategies for improving accountability and economic performance.The book offers a coherent framework for understanding institutional development in Central Asia and serves as a resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners working on governance, legal reform, and economic development in post-Soviet contexts. It also provides comparative insights relevant beyond the region. 538 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Over the past century or so, the food industry has been highly successful in producing a broad range of affordable, abundant, convenient, safe, and delicious foods, which has helped to improve the quality of life of people around the world. More recently, however, there have been growing concerns that some of these foods are highly processed products with compositions and structures that are contributing to adverse health effects, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and mental health issues. There are therefore calls to reduce or eliminate these so-called 'ultra-processed foods' (UPFs) from our diets. This book reviews the history of UPFs, highlights how they are formulated and manufactured, evaluates their potential adverse health effects, and outlines strategies to improve the healthiness of the modern food supply. These strategies include reformulating UPFs to enhance their health profiles, as well as encouraging changes in government, industry, and consumer practices. The information presented will be useful for those who are trying to create a healthier food supply, as well as to those who simply want to improve their health by making more rational food choices.David Julian McClements is a Distinguished Professor in food science who has employed physics, chemistry, and biology to improve the quality, safety, and healthiness of foods for over 30 years. He has published over 1600 scientific articles and numerous books in this area and is currently the most highly cited food scientist in the world.Springer Nature Customer Service Center GmbH, Europaplatz 3,69115 Heidelberg, Germany, 69115 Heidelberg 352 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Museums today are facing complex challenges due to changes in digital technologies, global migration and increasing demands as regards collaboration and societal relevance from principals. The range of services and activities expected of and at museums is today broader, demanding increasingly diversified competence at a time when economic conditions for museums have not radically changed. Thus, pressure is put upon museums to strategically approach their competence needs, and to actively manage competence for the future, in order to secure long-term organisational goal achievement.This book addresses the lack of research on strategic management and development of museums by defining, mapping and discussing competence management practices, based on research and a comparative case study across four museums in Sweden. It offers students and researchers, as well as museum practitioners, an elaboration on both research on competence management and provision in general and how this is currently practiced in the museum sector, something which is largely overlooked in comprehensive museum management books.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 investigates the sociological legitimacy of Colombia's Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), a key institution in the 2016 Peace Agreement with the FARC-EP. While legally established, the JEP's legitimacy has been contested by political actors, victims, and former supporters. The author argues that legitimacy should be understood sociologicallyas the public's belief in the institution's right to make judicial decisions. Drawing on literature about high courts, the book identifies five key factors affecting legitimacy: diffuse support, specific support, obedience, salience, and institutional age. It proposes a method to operationalise these factors and applies it to the JEP using 43 elite interviews, fieldwork, surveys, and media analysis. The findings suggest the JEP has medium legitimacy, with potential to improve or decline depending on how it addresses delays, victim satisfaction, and public understanding. This is the first study to offer a comprehensive framework for assessing transitional justice legitimacy, making it a valuable resource for academics, policymakers, and international actors. The book also contributes to global debates on mixed justice systems and peacebuilding, offering lessons for future transitional justice mechanisms. Its timely publication aims to inform reforms before the JEP's mandate to indict human rights violations ends in 2028.Springer Nature Customer Service Center GmbH, Europaplatz 3,69115 Heidelberg, Germany, Heidelberg 196 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book introduces explainable neutrosophic collaborative intelligence.Neutrosophic collaborative intelligence is an extension of fuzzy collaborative intelligence, in which a problem is analyzed from diverse perspectives to raise the chance that no relevant aspects of the problem will be ignored. In addition, as internet applications become widespread, dealing with disparate data sources is becoming more and more popular. Technical constraints, security issues, and privacy considerations often limit access to some sources. Furthermore, indeterminacy held by the participants leaves room for ensuring the applicability of the aggregation result.To meet these challenges, concepts of neutrosophic computing intelligence and collaborative neutrosophic modeling have been proposed, and neutrosophic collaborative intelligence (NCI)-based systems are being established. So far, several studies have argued that for certain problems, a NCI approach is more flexible, precise, accurate, efficient, safe, and private than typical approaches.This book systematically introduces the methodology, system architecture, and applications of NCI in engineering. Relevant references or real cases are also provided as supporting evidence.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 116 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This open access book provides a multidisciplinary examination of the governance of the human body in the post-pandemic public health landscape. It delves into how the body is regulated, policed, protected, and politicized in times of emergency, drawing on the expertise of a wide range of scholarsincluding experts in public, health, and comparative law, as well as philosophers, sociologists of law, and specialists in biopolitics, complexity theory, systems theory, and the history of medicine. At its core is the idea of the body as a contested site, subject to legal control, political intervention, and societal scrutiny during public health emergencies. Through the examination of issues like consent, surveillance, the marginalization of vulnerable groups, and the intersections of gender and health, the book critically assesses how emergency measures have not only challenged but reshaped our understanding of freedom, citizenship, and social norms. It interrogates the state's role in governing health and bodies, analyzing contemporary legal debates and philosophical inquiries about the boundary between 'normality' and 'crisis', and how this impacts democracy, rights, and the rule of law.By grounding its analysis within historical and theoretical frameworks, the book traces the evolution of health crisis governance and reflects on lessons for present and future challenges. Its interdisciplinary approach offers both deep theoretical insights and timely analysis of the current health landscape. Ultimately, the book challenges readers to rethink how we address health crises, the legal frameworks that emerge, and their broader societal implications.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 412 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Most leading global militaries, led by the United States, embrace military assistance as an essential tool for achieving their high-priority strategic objectives; yet, in spite of its prominence, military assistance activities are poorly informed by coherent strategy, nor are they rooted in underlying theoretical frameworks that help strategists understand and exploit causal mechanisms that can produce desired behaviors and outcomes. As a result, military assistance has struggled to consistently deliver positive, enduring results and in some cases has proven strategically catastrophic. This book fills a gap in both academic literature and real-world practice: it identifies and elucidates several theoretical foundations of military assistance and offers four distinct strategic frameworks for designing military assistance initiatives. In so doing, the book will offer academics tools to better understand and evaluate military assistance and will offer practitioners a playbook for designing more effective military assistance interventions to address high-stakes global security dilemmas. Finally, it will propose an ethical framework for defense cooperation, offering much-needed guidance in an area fraught with moral risk. 264 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book gives practitioners a concrete, systematic framework for designing evals that make AI systems safe, robust, and customer-ready before they reach production. Drawing on real-world failures, from chatbots that went off the rails to shopping assistants that hallucinated product information, it shows how seemingly small evaluation gaps can cascade into legal, financial, and reputational crisis, and how to close those gaps with disciplined, systematic testing.Moving from foundational concepts to advanced practice, Reliable Evals for LLMs and AI Agents introduces the four core levers of effective evals: sets, templates, metrics, and evaluators. It then extends these to the unique challenges of autonomous AI agents, where systems perceive, reason, act, and adapt in iterative loops that demand fundamentally different eval approaches. Along the way, it guides readers through benchmark selection, custom eval set design, statistical rigor in metrics, human and LLM-as-a-judge rating strategies, and the infrastructure needed to automate evals at scale.For engineering leaders, applied researchers, data scientists, and product teams shipping LLM- and agent-powered experiences, this volume offers a blueprint for building eval flywheels that continuously improve AI quality. It shows how to progress from ad-hoc checks to production-grade eval systems, align model metrics with real user satisfaction, integrate offline evals with online A/B testing, and design accessible interfaces that democratize rigorous testing across an organization.Springer Nature Customer Service Center GmbH, Europaplatz 3,69115 Heidelberg, Germany, 69115 Heidelberg 204 pp. Englisch.…
