The Washington Conference regulated the inter-war naval race between the world powers. In the era when it was still believed that battleships were the epitome of naval power and a sign of a country's strength, this conference led to limitations on the building of such weapons by the naval powers of Britain, the USA and Japan. This collection of essays deals with many aspects of the conference; the factors that caused it, the interests of the participating nations both present and future, and the results.

Food webs hold a central place in ecology. They describe which organisms feed on which others in natural habitats. This book describes recently discovered empirical regularities in real food webs: it proposes a novel theory unifying many of these regularities, as well as extensive empirical data. After a general introduction, reviewing the empirical and theoretical discoveries about food webs, the second portion of the book shows that community food webs obey several striking phenomenological regularities. Some of these unify, regardless of habitat. Others differentiate, showing that habitat significantly influences structure. The third portion of the book presents a theoretical analysis of ...
Network research has recently been adopted as one of the tools of the trade in archaeology, used to study a wide range of topics: interactions between island communities, movements through urban spaces, visibility in past landscapes, material culture similarity, exchange, and much more. This Handbook is the first authoritative reference work for archaeological network research, featuring current topical trends and covering the archaeological application of network methods and theories. This is elaborately demonstrated through substantive topics and case studies drawn from a breadth of periods and cultures in world archaeology. It highlights and further develops the unique contributions made by archaeological research to network science, especially concerning the development of spatial and material culture network methods and approaches to studying long-term network change. This is the go-to resource for students and scholars wishing to explore how network science can be applied in archaeology through an up-to-date overview of the field.
The Yearbook of Morphology 2001 focuses on the notion of productivity, the role of analogy in coining new words, and constraints on affix ordering in a number of Germanic languages are investigated. Other topics include the necessity and the role of the paradigm in morphological analyses, the relation between form and meaning in morphology, the accessibility of the internal morphological structure of complex words, and the interaction of morphology and prosody in truncation processes.
Il libro è il risultato di anni di ricerca e di sperimentazione con insegnanti di scuola dell’infanzia e primaria che hanno voluto mettere in discussione i percorsi tradizionali e cercare nuove strategie didattiche più coerenti con la ricerca psicologica post-piagetiana. Prendendo spunto dal lavoro fondamentale di Gelman&Gallistel, The child’s understanding of number, della fine degli anni Settanta, le attività suggerite nel libro mettono al centro del processo di apprendimento del numero ciò che i bambini fanno molto spontaneamente fin da piccoli: contare. Il percorso didattico suggerito, vario e coinvolgente, si articola in molte attività proponibili fin dalla scuola dell’infanzia da sviluppare con gradualità e attenzione ai processi che i bambini mettono in atto. Le schede di attività sono inframezzate dai necessari riferimenti teorici alle ricerche, che hanno guidato nella formulazione delle proposte, e dalle documentazioni realizzate dagli insegnanti durante le sperimentazioni.
