The Representational Consequences of Electronic Voting Reform
Ballots and voting devices are fundamental tools in the electoral process. Despite their importance, scholars have paid little attention to the broader implications of voting procedures. In this Element, the authors contend that ballots have significant implications for democratic representation, as they affect the cost associated with voting for citizens and electioneering for elites. This Element explains how ballot designs affect the behavior of voters, the performance of candidates, and the strategies of parties. It shows how voting procedures structure the likelihood of vote splitting and ballot roll-off. This in turn has implications for candidates. Focusing on gender and experience, this Element shows how ballot form alters the salience of personal vote earning attributes. With respect to political parties, ballot structure can shift both the cost, strategies, and ultimately electoral fortunes of political parties. Finally, it discusses the profound implications ballot forms have for party campaigns and election outcomes.
American and Australasian Marsupials
This book focuses on the evolution, biogeography, systematics, taxonomy, and ecology of New World and Australasian marsupials, greatly expanding the current knowledge base. There are roughly 140 species of New World marsupials, of which the opossum is the best known. Thanks to recent research, there is now an increasing amount of understanding about their evolution, biogeography, systematics, ecology, and conservation in the Americas, especially in South America. There are also some 270 marsupial species in the Australasian region, many of which have been subject to research only in recent years. Based on this information and the authors’ extensive research, this book provides comprehensive insights into the world's marsupials. It will appeal to academics and specialized researchers, students of zoology, paleontology, evolutionary biology, ecology, physiology and conservation as well as interested non-experts.

Las sociedades de la IV Sección de la Ley General de Sociedades
El fenómeno de las sociedades “informales” pervive en el tráfico con una difusión que supera a todos los demás tipos contemplados en la Ley General de Sociedades. Los hechos han demostrado que todos los esfuerzos del legislador por perseguir y sancionar a los participantes de las hoy conocidas como “atípicas” han sido infructuosos y que en los anales jurisprudenciales se puede encontrar “entre líneas” una cultura de irregularidad tácitamente consentida. Se constituyen en parte activa y pasiva de las relaciones jurídicas. Por ello recibimos con satisfacción y algunos reparos la modificación de la Sección IV de la mencionada Ley General de Sociedades.
