The book is a good read due to its well-integrated form, its comparative approach, its empirical case descriptions and its ability to encourage readers to approach the field of regulatory innovation. Estrid Sørensen, Science Studies Much hype has been generated about the importance of innovation for public and private sector organisations. Regulatory Innovation offers the first detailed study of regulatory innovation in a multiplicity of countries and domains. This book draws on in-depth studies of innovation in regulatory instruments and practices across high- and low-technology sectors, across different countries and from the early to the late 20th century. Highlighting different worlds of regulatory innovation those of the individual, the organization, the state, the global polity, and innovation itself, this book offers a fresh perspective and valuable insights for the practice and study of regulatory innovation. The explicit comparative focus of the case studies and the worlds of regulatory innovation approach make this book essential reading for academic researchers and students interested in regulation.
Mobile communications and ubiquitous computing generate large volumes of data. Mining this data can produce useful knowledge, yet individual privacy is at risk. This book investigates the various scientific and technological issues of mobility data, open problems, and roadmap. The editors manage a research project called GeoPKDD, Geographic Privacy-Aware Knowledge Discovery and Delivery, and this book relates their findings in 13 chapters covering all related subjects.

In 1623, Marc'Antonio Haxac, a surgeon in Malta, dedicated a manuscript to Cardinal Verallo, hoping to gain favour with this potential papabile. Haxac outlines the divine history and destiny of Malta, as witnessed by the ancient temples existing there, and culminating with the providential arrival of St. Paul in Malta, transforming the Islands into a unique Christian centre. ""instantly abhorring and detesting idolatry as well as the erroneous views of the Gentiles, destroying all the idols in the temples which, until then, they had honoured and worshipped." Rev. Mgr. John Azzopardi is curator of the Wignacourt Museum and former curator of the Cathedral Museum in Mdina. Professor at the Sorbonne (Paris IV), Alain Blondy has specialised in the Mediterranean world up to present times. The Fondation de Malte is an international NGO, dedicated to cultural affairs, environmental concerns, education and human rights.
In den letzten Jahren hat die Nachfrage nach professionellen Hundetrainern stark zugenommen. Dies liegt an einem wachsenden Bewusstsein für die Bedeutung der richtigen Hundeerziehung und der steigenden Zahl von Hundebesitzern. Hundetrainer bieten eine Vielzahl von Dienstleistungen an, von Welpenschulen bis hin zu spezialisierten Verhaltenskorrekturen. Die Branche hat sich professionalisiert, mit zertifizierten Trainern und wissenschaftlich fundierten Trainingsmethoden. Viele Hundebesitzer machen unbewusst Erziehungsfehler, wie die Eingewöhnungsfalle und die Hundespielzeug-Schwemme. Es ist wichtig, dem Hund klare Strukturen und begrenzte, aber abwechslungsreiche Spielmöglichkeiten zu biete...
