Praise for Adversity Quotient. "With AQ, Paul Stoltz has done something remarkable: He synthesizes some of the most important information on how we influence our own future and then offers a profound set of observations which teaches us how to thrive in a fast-changing world!"-Joel Barker, President, Infinity, LTD, author of Paradigm Shift. "Adversity Quotient will show that you have more control over events than you think. The key is changing your beliefs. Believe it or not, that can usually be done in One Minute." -Ken Blanchard, co-author, The One Minute Manager. "Paul Stoltz's AQ explains why some people, teams, organizations, and societies fail or quit, and how others in the situation persevere and succeed. With this book, anyone or or organization can learn to reroute their AQ and hardwire their brain for success." -Daniel Burrus, author, Technotrends. "AQ is one of the more important concepts of our time. Paul Stoltz's book provides the direction and tools necessary for putting this idea into practice. It is a must read for anyone interested in personal mastery, leadership effectiveness and/or organizational productivity." -Jim Ericson, Program Director, The Masters Forum.

EXTENSIVE, IN-DEPTH RESEARCH THAT IS INFORMED BY SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES AND CENTRED ON EVIDENCE IS THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THESE QUESTIONS. THE COMPLEXITY AND SCOPE OF THE ISSUES IN EDUCATION MAKE IT DIFFICULT AND TIME-CONSUMING TO CONDUCT THE REQUIRED RESEARCH. THIS BOOK ON EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND STATISTICS COVERS A WIDE RANGE OF ISSUES, INCLUDING SCOPE, REVIEW OF LITERATURE, PROBLEM ...
Metacommunity ecology links smaller-scale processes that have been the provenance of population and community ecology—such as birth-death processes, species interactions, selection, and stochasticity—with larger-scale issues such as dispersal and habitat heterogeneity. Until now, the field has focused on evaluating the relative importance of distinct processes, with niche-based environmental sorting on one side and neutral-based ecological drift and dispersal limitation on the other. This book moves beyond these artificial categorizations, showing how environmental sorting, dispersal, ecological drift, and other processes influence metacommunity structure simultaneously. Mathew Leibold a...
This book provides an introduction to image processing, an overview of the transforms which are most widely used in the field of image processing, and an introduction to the application of multiscale transforms in image processing. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part offering the reader a basic introduction to image processing. The second part of the book starts with a chapter on Fourier analysis and Fourier transforms, wavelet analysis, and ends with a chapter on new multiscale transforms. The final part of the book deals with all of the most important applications of multiscale transforms in image processing. The chapters consist of both tutorial and highly advanced m...
This book brings out the central role of evolutionary genetics in all aspects of its connection to evolutionary biology.
This chapter has a dual purpose. In the first place, the authors provide a real-world example of interdisciplinary research by discussing the two chapter examples they worked on while editing a book full of multidisciplinary cases. The authors’ purpose is to provide a realistic picture of how the theoretical aim of interdisciplinary research might be realised in practise, in contrast to the numerous theoretical descriptions that have been published on the topic. The author gives the present conceptual understanding of the multidisciplinary before elaborating on the practical use of these ideas in light of the common restrictions that many academics encounter today while undertaking coopera...
