The Sphagnum Species of the World
Sphagnum specialist Dierk Michaelis documents the worldwide known peat moss species (genus Sphagnum) and presents keys for their identification. It represents the updated, supplemented English language version of the author's original peat moss flora of 2011 (in German), the first overall presentation of Sphagnum since Carl Warnstorf's "Sphagnologia Universalis" of 1911. Compared to the German edition, 12 species have been added, 23 new plates were added, the chapters on phylogeny and research history have been revised and a new chapter on Sphagnum ecology has been added. Since Warnstorf's comprehensive work, numerous names have been recognized and revised as synonyms - particularly by Andre...

Tropical Peatlands
Tropical peatlands are found mostly in South East Asia, but also in Africa and in Central and South America. They and peat-swamp forests store large amounts of carbon and their destruction, particularly through the development of plantations for oil palm and other forms of agriculture, releases large quantities of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change. They are also complex and vulnerable ecosystems, home to great biodiversity and a number of endangered species such as the orang utan.The aim of this book is to introduce this little known but important and vulnerable ecosystem in a way that explains its long standing interaction with the global carbon cycle and how it is being d...
Creativity and Innovation
This book focuses on the emergence of creative ideas from cognitive and social dynamics. In particular, it presents data, models, and analytical methods grounded in a network dynamics approach. It has long been hypothesized that innovation arises from a recombination of older ideas and concepts, but this has been studied primarily at an abstract level. In this book, we consider the networks underlying innovation – from the brain networks supporting semantic cognition to human networks such as brainstorming groups or individuals interacting through social networks – and relate the emergence of ideas to the structure and dynamics of these networks. Methods described include experimental studies with human participants, mathematical evaluation of novelty from group brainstorming experiments, neurodynamical modeling of conceptual combination, and multi-agent modeling of collective creativity. The main distinctive features of this book are the breadth of perspectives considered, the integration of experiments with theory, and a focus on the combinatorial emergence of ideas.
Politics and Administration
The conventional model for explaining the uniqueness of American democracy is its division between executive, legislative, and judicial functions. It was the great contribution of Frank J. Goodnow to codify a less obvious, but no less profound element: the distinction between politics and policies, principles and operations. He showed how the United States went beyond a nation based on government by gentlemen and then one based on the spoils system brought about by the Jacksonian revolt against the Eastern Establishment, into a government that separated political officials from civil administrators. Goodnow contends that the civil service reformers persuasively argued that the separation of ...
APLIKASI EKONOMETRIKA SPASIAL DENGAN SOFTWARE STATA
Ekonometrika spasial diperkenalkan pertama kali oleh Luc Anselin pada tahun 1980. Namun penggunaan metode analisis dengan ekonometrika spasial masih jarang digunakan di Indonesia. Salah satu yang telah menggunakan ekonometrika spasial adalah Caroline (2018) dengan disertasinya yang berjudul “Pola Interaksi Spasial Human Capital dan Dampak Human Capital Spillover terhadap Pertumbuhan Ekonomi : Studi Empiris 10 Negara ASEAN” dengan menggunakan metode matriks bobot Euclidean Distance. Buku ini bertujuan untuk membantu para mahasiswa S1, mahasiswa S2, mahasiswa S3, dosen, peneliti, dan semua yang tertarik untuk mempelajari tentang ekonometrika spasial dengan software Stata khususnya spasial panel data. Penulis berharap buku ini dapat bermanfaat bagi orang banyak untuk lebih mendalami dan mempelajari ekonometrika spasial sebagai alternatif metode untuk kajian dan kebijakan yang ada.
