Praxisleitfaden Logistik für Nachhaltige Lebensstile
Das vorliegende essential enthält eine Reihe von Tools, welche sich im Rahmen des dreijährigen, BMBF-geförderten Projekts „Innovative Logistik für Nachhaltige Lebensstile (ILoNa)“ als besonders hilfreich für die praktische Umsetzung einer Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie von Logistikunternehmen herausgestellt haben. Eine Besonderheit liegt dabei in der konsequenten Umsetzung der Konsumentenperspektive: So wird die Interaktion mit den Endkunden – seien es Käufer im Supermarkt oder Online-Käufer – als erfolgsrelevanter Faktor in die Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie miteinbezogen und es wird Unternehmen der Logistikbranche aufgezeigt, wie sie ihre zentrale Rolle als verbindendes Element von Wertschöpfungsstufen und Akteuren verantwortlich wahrnehmen können.
Recarbonization of the Biosphere
Human activities are significantly modifying the natural global carbon (C) cycles, and concomitantly influence climate, ecosystems, and state and function of the Earth system. Ever increasing amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) are added to the atmosphere by fossil fuel combustion but the biosphere is a potential C sink. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of C cycling in the biosphere is crucial for identifying and managing biospheric C sinks. Ecosystems with large C stocks which must be protected and sustainably managed are wetlands, peatlands, tropical rainforests, tropical savannas, grasslands, degraded/desertified lands, agricultural lands, and urban lands. However, land-based sinks require long-term management and a protection strategy because C stocks grow with a progressive improvement in ecosystem health.

Gentrification, Displacement, and Neighborhood Revitalization
Bringing an empirical, objective approach to a topic that has often been the source of emotional and uninformed controversy, Gentrification, Displacement and Neighborhood Revitalization provides an introduction to major issues in urban revitalization, new research findings, and a discussion of theoretical perspectives. This is the first broad-based survey of a scattered literature that has not been readily accessible. The book's comprehensive introduction leads to informative analyses of new research by sociologists, planners, geographers, and urban studies faculty. A concluding essay examines the present state of knowledge about gentrification and discusses its implications, suggesting future developments and trends.
The Psychological Foundations of Culture
How is it that cultures come into existence at all? How do cultures develop particular customs and characteristics rather than others? How do cultures persist and change over time? Most previous attempts to address these questions have been descriptive and historical. The purpose of this book is to provide answers that are explanatory, predictive, and relevant to the emergence and continuing evolution of cultures past, present, and future. Most other investigations into "cultural psychology" have focused on the impact that culture has on the psychology of the individual. The focus of this book is the reverse. The authors show how questions about the origins and evolution of culture can be fr...
Political Parties in the Digital Age
The Internet and „social media“ may initially have been understood as just one more instrument politicians could employ to manage without political parties. However, these media cannot be reduced to being a tool available solely to politicians. The electronic media make reinforcement of the „glocalization“ of the public/political sphere, a process already set in motion with the advent of television, and they can develop the trend even further.
Airport Competition
The break-up of BAA and the blocked takeover of Bratislava airport by the competing Vienna airport have brought the issue of airport competition to the top of the agenda for air transport policy in Europe. Airport Competition reviews the current state of the debate and asks whether airport competition is strong enough to effectively limit market power. It provides evidence on how travellers chose an airport, thereby altering its competitive position, and on how airports compete in different regions and markets. The book also discusses the main policy implications of mergers and subsidies.
