Science Centres and Science Events
The idea for this text stemmed from the fruitful experience gathered during the training course of 9 Nigerian university students organized in Naples from 3 to 18 September 2008 by the team of Fondazione IDIS-Città della Scienza under the project Science Centre Owerri. The training course turned out to be not only an educational opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills for these students, but also a real and practical tool that later led to the realization of the first Science Festival of Owerri in Nigeria in May 2009. This in turn sparked the idea of creating a highly practical handbook for those who want to face the challenge of developing new projects for the dissemination and sociali...

Wissenskapitalismus
Moderne Wissensgesellschaften nehmen die Gestalt des Wissenskapitalismus an. Obwohl es sich bei diesem in erster Linie um eine wirtschaftliche Entwicklung handelt, besteht der begründete Verdacht, dass er erhebliche Auswirkungen auf die soziale Struktur und die Kultur der modernen Gesellschaft hat. Dennoch ist eine zukunftsfähige und nachhaltige Gesellschaft, die keine breit aufgestellte Wissensgesellschaft ist, kaum vorstellbar. Die komplexen kulturellen, sozio-ökonomischen, ökologischen und politischen Probleme der modernen Gesellschaft als Wissenskapitalismus werden in Nico Stehrs Studie im Detail analysiert.
Driver Distraction and Inattention
It is estimated that, in the United States, around 20 percent of all Police-reported road crashes involve driver distraction as a contributing factor. This figure increases if other forms of inattention are considered. Evidence (reviewed in this volume) suggests that the situation is similar in other countries and that driver distraction and inattention are even more dangerous as contributing factors in crashes than drug and alcohol intoxication. Having a solid evidence-base from which to develop injury countermeasures is a cornerstone of road-safety management. This book adds to the accumulating evidence-base on driver distraction and inattention. With 24 chapters by 52 authors from more than 10 countries, it provides important new perspectives on the definition and meaning of driver distraction and inattention, the mechanisms that characterize them, the measurement of their effects, strategies for mitigating their effects, and recommendations for further research. The goal of this book is to inspire further research and countermeasure development to prevent and mitigate the potentially adverse effects of driver distraction and driver inattention, and, in doing so, to save lives.

Iroquoia
In a book that spans the Iroquoian culture from its ancient roots to its survival in the modern world, William Engelbrecht maintains that two themes pervade this development: warfare and spirituality. An investigation of oral tradition, archaeology, and historical records provides new insight into this now largely vanished world known as Iroquoia. Engelbrecht covers a wide geographic range, exploring regional and temporal differences in material culture and subsistence patterns. He finds change over time in the distribution and size of communities and in response to environmental demographic, and social factors. In addition, he furthers the controversial debate that "arrow sacrifice" and oth...
