Chris Baratta, "Environmentalism in the Realm of Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 1443835137 | PDF | pages: 183 | 1.0 mb
The collection of essays titled Environmentalism in the Realm of Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature discusses the environmental and ecocritical themes found in works of science-fiction and fantasy literature. Organized into four sections titled "Industrial Dilemmas", "The Natural World, Community, and the Self", "Materialism, Capitalism, and Environmentalism", and "Dystopian Futures", the essays analyze important literary works to yield an understanding of how they address the environmental issues we are facing today and the solutions that these works present to ensure the sustainability of our natural world and, in turn, the sustainability of humanity. With topics ranging from the dangers of industrial progress to the connection between environmental degradation and the destruction of the individual, and from the environmental dangers posed by capitalistic societies to ignored warnings of ecological crises, the essays tactfully analyze the relationship between the environmental themes in literature and how readers and scholars can learn from the irresponsible treatment of the environment. This collection will appeal to a broad range of scholars, including those who focus their studies on one of, or all of, the following fields: Ecocriticism, Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature, and Environmentalism in Literature.

Petr Mariel, "Environmental Valuation with Discrete Choice Experiments: Guidance on Design, Implementation and Data Analysis "
English | ISBN: 3030626687 | 2021 | 129 pages | EPUB, PDF | 1384 KB + 2 MB
This open access book offers up-to-date advice and practical guidance on how to undertake a discrete choice experiment as a tool for environmental valuation. It discusses crucial issues in designing, implementing and analysing choice experiments. Compiled by leading experts in the field, the book promotes discrete choice analysis in environmental valuation through a more solid scientific basis for research practice. Instead of providing strict guidelines, the book helps readers avoid common mistakes often found in applied work. It is based on the collective reflections of the scientific network of researchers using discrete choice modelling in the field of environmental valuation (www.envecho.com).

Entrepreneurship In Emerging Regions Around The World: Theory, Evidence and Implications By Phillip Hin Choi Phan, Sankaran Venkataraman, S. Ramakrishna Velamuri
2008 | 356 Pages | ISBN: 1847208002 | PDF | 2 MB
The contributors to this original volume of theoretically grounded case studies of the entrepreneurial phenomenon look at the process of entrepreneurship in the emerging regions of India, China, Ireland, Eastern Europe, North and South America, and North and South-East Asia. The book's organization is designed to take the reader from a general framework for understanding the relationship between economic development and entrepreneurship to more specific examples of how entrepreneurs and their firms respond to the opportunity and threats that are dynamically evolving in such places.The case studies provide scholars with the opportunity to develop theoretically grounded research questions that will advance the field beyond what we already know from previous work in the contexts of the US and developed economies. The book represents the first serious attempt to suggest new theoretical frameworks for understanding the emergence of entrepreneurship in regions that do not have all of the classical prerequisites (such as financial and human capital, favourable geography, institutional infrastructures, and so on) predicted in extant development models. Scholars and graduate students in business, economic development, and regional studies; policymakers in economic development, technology transfer, and financial markets; and journalists following business and development issues in emerging regions will all find this book an important step forward in our knowledge of entrepreneurship.

Keith Popplewell, Klaus-Dieter Thoben, Thomas Knothe, "Enterprise Interoperability VIII: Smart Services and Business Impact of Enterprise Interoperability"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 3030136922 | PDF | pages: 427 | 14.2 mb
This book gathers the proceedings of the I-ESA'18 Conference, which was organised by the Fraunhofer IPK, on behalf of the European Virtual Laboratory for Enterprise Interoperability (INTEROP-VLab) and the DFI, and was held in Berlin, Germany in March 2018. It presents contributions ranging from academic research and case studies, to industrial and administrative experiences with interoperability that show how, in a globalised market scenario - where the ability to cooperate with other organisations efficiently is essential in order to remain economically, socially and environmentally cost-effective - the most innovative digitised and networked enterprises ensure that their systems and applications can interoperate across heterogeneous collaborative networks of independent organisations. Furthermore, the content addresses smart services, and the business impact of enterprise interoperability on organisations.
