Overview: Since the publication of the second volume of Comparative Psychology by Warden, Warner, and Jenkins (1940), there has not been a comprehensive review of invertebrate learning capacities. Some high-quality reviews have appeared in various journals, texts, and symposia, but they have been, of necessity, incomplete and selective either in terms of the phyla covered or the phenomena which were reviewed. Although this lack has served as a stimulus for the present series, the primary justification is to be found in the resurgence of theoretical and empirical interests in learning capacitie

Overview: .Implementing Management Innovations: Lessons Learned fromActivity. .Based Costing in the U.S. Automobile Industry. is theresult of a long-term study of the implementation of activity basedcosting (ABC) inside two of America‘s largest automobile companies.The research advances our theoretical and practical understanding ofthe implementation of management innovations by tracing the evolutionof ABC from the corporate level down to its eventual rollout at theplants. Another distinguishing feature of the study is the blend offield research methods and hypothesis testing to determine the

Overview: Filling a major gap in historical, literary, and post-colonial scholarship, Imperialisms examines the identity statements of the world‘s major imperialisms in multiple theatres of competition over the course of four centuries. Filling a major gap in historical, literary, and post-colonial scholarship, Imperialisms examines early identity statements and nuances of dominance of the world‘s major imperialisms in various theatres of competition. Developed in collaboration with leading scholars in the field, this book balances historical essays and case studies, and encourages investigati

Overview: Provides a formal stylised model that can be used for public policy advice, based on an integrated environmental, social, and economic framework.Allows for policy simulations by providing a numerical .The distinctive contribution of this book is the formulation of an integrated social, environmental, and economic framework for public policy. This contribution is realised through investigations and conclusions in the following four domains: a formal stylised model that provides a platform for an integrated approach to public policy; a policy-informing simulation model that can be used

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-662-35740-8978-3-662-36570-0

Overview: As a researcher whose work focuses largely on the causes and conse­ quences of unwanted pregnancy, I may appear to be an unlikely candidate to write a foreword to a book on infertility. Yet, many of the themes that emerge in the study of unwanted pregnancy are also apparent in the study of infertility. Moreover, this volume is an important contribution to the literature on fertility, women‘s health issues, and health psychology in general, all topics with which I have been closely involved over the past two decades. Neither pregnancy nor its absence is inherently desirable: The occur

Overview: Presents a regional approach to investigating the link between innovation, regional integration and development in Africa.Brings together scholars from across several African nations to form a comprehThis edited volume discusses the role of innovation and regional integration in economic development in Africa. Over the past five decades, post-colonial  African countries have struggled to break loose from the trap of poverty and underdevelopment through the adoption of various development strategies at regional, national, and continental levels. However, the results of both national a

Overview: This textbook covers the basic properties of elliptic curves and modular forms, with emphasis on certain connections with number theory. The ancient "congruent number problem" is the central motivating example for most of the book. My purpose is to make the subject accessible to those who find it hard to read more advanced or more algebraically oriented treatments. At the same time I want to introduce topics which are at the forefront of current research. Down-to-earth examples are given in the text and exercises, with the aim of making the material readable and interesting to mathem

Overview: Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols for the use of intravital imaging.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Contains key notes and implementation advice from the expeThis detailed volume presents a number of chapters that will aid researchers in jumping the hurdle preventing the popularization of advanced intravital imaging technology usage, namely the complicated experimental protocols. Leading researchers undertaking imaging studies in the field of bone and immune systems have contributed the chapters that aim to guide readers through these complex

Overview: Examines the intersection of sociocultural traits and contexts that create varying dimensions of advantage and inequality.Discusses positions of power and marginalized identities.Explores social locatThis brief examines the ways in which sociocultural characteristics and contexts intersect to create varying dimensions of social advantage and inequality that, in turn, affect and organize professional relationships in educational and therapeutic settings. It explores how inherently hierarchical relationships develop within educational and university contexts, including between professo

Overview: höher, schneller, kompetenterIn der gegenwärtigen Bildungsdebatte setzt sich zunehmend die Erkenntnis durch, dass das Lernen von Kindern und Jugendlichen nicht allein auf staatliche Institutionen, wie Kindertagesstätten und Schulen, begrenzt ist. Vielmehr rücken neben formalen Bildungsmodalitäten zunehmend non-formale und informelle Lernprozesse in den Fokus. Mittlerweile liegen auch im deutschsprachigen Raum erste Studien zum informellen Kompetenzerwerb in außerschulischen Feldern vor. Nicht zuletzt das Jugendalter erscheint vor dem Hintergrund mod- nisierter Gesellschaften prädesti
