The Leader of Managers HC
The role of the Leader of Managers, now responsible for leading a team of more than three individual unit managers in any organization, requires mastery of new conceptual skills. You must become an agent of change, a visionary with a clear view of the future, a champion of the people you lead, and a servant first who serves so others may lead.
Narrow and Smart Textiles
The book presents the latest developments in narrow fabrics and smart materials from research institutions, machinery building companies and producers of such products, presented during the International Week of Narrow and Smart Textiles in Spring 2018 in Mönchengladbach, Germany. It also demonstrates different applications of braided and woven fabrics. Braided and woven narrow products are produced using completely different techniques, but have a lot of similarities in their applications – they are used as belts, ropes and tubes in areas ranging from medical textiles, cables, technical and home applications to large-scale transport belts and long tubes for transporting oil from the bottom of the ocean.
The Leader of Managers
"The Leader of Managers is all about the breadth of challenges, risks, possibilities, and opportunities involved in leading the people who manage complex restaurant and retail enterprises. Multi-unit managers are the same professional knowledge workers Peter Drucker originally referred to as the "managers of managers" but the market has changed dramatically since his day. So has the complexity of these positions. Today we see multi-unit managers as leaders of managers. Applying the principles presented here, business owners, senior company executives, and multi-unit managers will be able to learn about, adopt and then master the keys to this sophisticated new role"--Page 4 of cover.
Rewilding Agricultural Landscapes
As the world population grows, so does the demand for food, putting unprecedented pressure on agricultural lands. In many desert dryland regions, however, intensive cultivation is causing their productivity to decline precipitously. "Rewilding" the least productive of these landscapes offers a sensible way to reverse the damage, recover natural diversity, and ensure long-term sustainability of remaining farms and the communities they support. This accessibly written, groundbreaking contributed volume is the first to examine in detail what it would take to retire eligible farmland and restore functioning natural ecosystems. The lessons in Rewilding Agricultural Landscapes will be useful to conservation leaders, policymakers, groundwater agencies, and water managers looking for inspiration and practical advice for solving the complicated issues of agricultural sustainability and water management.
Comparative Law
Presents a fresh, contextualised and sophisticated perspective on comparative law for both students and scholars.

Economic Principles for Integrating Adaptation to Climate Change Into Fiscal Policy
Adaptation to climate change is a necessity for advanced and developing economies alike. Policymakers face the challenge of facilitating this transition. This Note argues that adaptation to climate change should be part of a holistic development strategy involving both private and public sector responses. Governments can prioritize public investment in adaptation programs with positive externalities, address market imperfections and policies that make private adaptation inefficient, and mobilize revenues for, and distribute the benefits of, adaptation. Although the choice of what should be done and at what cost ultimately depends on each society’s preferences, economic theory provides a useful framework to maximize the impact of public spending. Cost-benefit analysis, complemented by the analysis of distributional effects, can be used to prioritize adaptation programs as well as all other development programs to promote an efficient and just transition to a changed climate. While compensations may be needed to offset damages that are either impossible or too expensive to abate, subsidies for adaptation require careful calibration to prevent excessive risk taking.
