Sections dealing with difficult physical and chemical concepts have been developed on the basis of feedback from the first edition, making this an ideal learning tool for oceanography students.Chapter 1 summarizes the special properties of water and the role of the oceans in the hydraulic cycle. The distribution of temperature and salinity in the oceans and how they influence water density and movements is then discussed. Light and sound in seawater are considered next, al

    Description / Table of Contents: This book provides the first clear, comprehensive, and accessible account of complex adaptive social systems, by two of the field's leading authorities. Such systems--whether political parties, stock markets, or ant colonies--present some of the most intriguing theoretical and practical challenges confronting the social sciences. Engagingly written, and balancing technical detail with intuitive explanations, Complex Adaptive Systems focuses on the key tools and ideas that have emerged in the field since the mid-1990s, as well as the techniques needed to investigate such systems. It provides a

    Description / Table of Contents: Wir leben auf Kosten der Zukunft. Warum? Kurzfristige Interessen der Bürger (sichere Arbeit) ergänzen sich mit kurzfristigen Interessen der Politiker (Wiederwahl). Das politische System trägt Mitschuld. Wie kann man es ändern, um  diese Schwächen zu vermeiden? Lässt es sich demokratisch rechtfertigen, wenn Anwälte zukünftiger Generationen heute schon mitentscheiden? Diese Fragen werden  von Wissenschaftlern, Schriftstellern, Politikern und Unternehmern behandelt, um methodische Analyse, politischen und ökonomischen Sachverstand und kreative Ideen zu kombinieren. Das Buch enthält Beiträge von H. Geißler, H. J. Schellnhuber, I. Trojanow u.a. „Die Demokratie hat viele große Vorzüge und Stärken. Langfristigkeit und Nachhaltigkeit gehören bislang nicht dazu. Dem kann man institutionell abhelfen. Das Buch zeigt, wie.“ (Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker, MdB a.D.)   Der Inhalt ·         Problemanalyse und Überblick ·         Neue Institutionen: Zukunftsräte ·         Neue Institutionen: Ombudspersonen ·         Ergänzungen und Alternativen: Ein Weltgerichtshof; Mehr Bürgerbeteiligung; Hoffnung auf die Dynamik der Verhandlungsrealitäten ·         Ombudspersonen in Unternehmen?   Die Zielgruppen   ·         PolitikwissenschaftlerInnen ·         PhilosophInnen ·         politisch interessierte Bürger     Der Herausgeber Prof. Dr. Bernward Gesang lehrt Philosophie an der Universität Mannheim

    Description / Table of Contents: This book considers a relatively new metric in complex systems, transfer entropy, derived from a series of measurements, usually a time series. After a qualitative introduction and a chapter that explains the key ideas from statistics required to understand the text, the authors then present information theory and transfer entropy in depth. A key feature of the approach is the authors' work to show the relationship between information flow and complexity. The later chapters demonstrate information transfer in canonical systems, and applications, for example in neuroscience and in finance. The book will be of value to advanced undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in the areas of computer science, neuroscience, physics, and engineering

    Description / Table of Contents: As countless love songs, movies, and self-help books attest, men and women have long sought different things. The result? Seemingly inevitable conflict. Yet we belong to the most cooperative species on the planet. Isn't there a way we can use this capacity to achieve greater harmony and equality between the sexes? In The War of the Sexes, Paul Seabright argues that there is--but first we must understand how the tension between conflict and cooperation developed in our remote evolutionary past, how it shaped the modern world, and how it still holds us back, both at home and at work. 〈

    Description / Table of Contents: Efficiently Inefficient describes the key trading strategies used by hedge funds and demystifies the secret world of active investing. Leading financial economist Lasse Heje Pedersen combines the latest research with real-world examples and interviews with top hedge fund managers to show how certain trading strategies make money-and why they sometimes don't. Pedersen views markets as neither perfectly efficient nor completely inefficient. Rather, they are inefficient enough that money managers can be compensated for their costs through the profits of their trading strategies and efficient e
