Metabolism of the Anthroposphere, second edition
An overview of the cultural evolution of material flows and stocks with an emphasis on the design of metabolic processes in urban systems. Over the last several thousand years of human life on Earth, agricultural settlements became urban cores, and these regional settlements became tightly connected through infrastructures transporting people, materials, and information. This global network of urban systems, including ecosystems, is the anthroposphere; the physical flows and stocks of matter and energy within it form its metabolism. This book offers an overview of the metabolism of the anthroposphere, with an emphasis on the design of metabolic systems. It takes a cultural historical perspec...
Spatial and Transport Infrastructure Development in Europe
The Orient-East-Med Corridor is a key north-south transport corridor for Europe. Over its length of more than 2500 km, it connects the seaports of northern Germany with the Danube ports and Greek seaports. Seven capitals of EU member states are directly interlinked by the Corridor. At present however, it has genuine shortcomings in several aspects. The international working group Spatial and Transport Development in European Corridors: Example Corridor 22, Hamburg-Athens (2015-2018) trace the conditions for large scale, corridor oriented spatial and transport development in Europe and in particular along the Orient-East-Med Corridor. The contributions in the anthology also focus on the impor...

Lehrbuch Organisationspsychologie
Die Organisationspsychologie befasst sich mit dem Erleben und Verhalten des Menschen in Organisationen - also damit, das Verhalten (und, soweit möglich, auch das Erleben) zu beobachten, zu beschreiben und zu erklären, in Entscheidungs¬zusammen¬hängen zu prognostizieren und in Interventionsfällen auch zu verändern. Dieses faszinierende Forschungs- und Anwendungsfeld der Psychologie erlebt in den vergangenen Jahren einen enormen Aufschwung. Vielfältige Berührungspunkte zu anderen Disziplinen, aber auch die Tatsache, dass wir uns alle tagtäglich als Teil von Organisationen erleben, tragen zu dieser Faszination bei. Zielsetzung dieses Lehrbuchs ist es, die Leser mit den wichtigsten Tei...

Landslide Hazard and Risk
With the increasing need to take an holistic view of landslide hazard and risk, this book overviews the concept of risk research and addresses the sociological and psychological issues resulting from landslides. Its integrated approach offers understanding and ability for concerned organisations, landowners, land managers, insurance companies and researchers to develop risk management solutions. Global case studies illustrate a variety of integrated approaches, and a concluding section provides specifications and contexts for the next generation of process models.
Catalogue of Risks
Since the German edition of this book, the topic of risk has experienced even greater attention, not only in the world of science but also in other fields, such as economics and politics. Therefore, many new publications have evolved. To keep with the idea of an encyclopedia for the topic of risk, this book has been completely reworked. Not only are many updated examples included in chapter “Risks and disasters” but also new chapters have been introduced, such as the chapter “Indetermination and risk”. This new chapter was developed since the question “Is it possible for risks to be completely eliminated, and if not why?” has become a major point of c- cern. Therefore, especially...
