• Sommario/riassunto: This book explores questions related to social and cultural sustainability of coastal communities in transition through the lens of childhood. Contributors explore diverse local and national contexts spanning several countries aiming to shed light on the shifting and dynamic interplay between education, knowledge production, society and working life in coastal environments from an intergenerational perspective. Key points that are disclosed are: the current threat to the social and cultural sustainability of coastal communities in different local and national contexts, and the reason they must be preserved the centrality of processes of inter generational transmission of local knowledge to the preservation and development of sustainable coastal communities the central role of children and young people as actors in creating sustainable livelihoods, economies and knowledge in coastal communities for the future? the practices across different country contexts The book will address the challenges to sustainability experienced by local communities in light of local, national and global social and economic changes. Looking at these challenges cross-nationally and through the lens of childhood, and knowledge production across generations, will provide for a much-needed perspective in ongoing discussion on sustainability in coastal communities.

• Sommario/riassunto: Case-based reasoning (CBR) is the process of solving new problems based on the solutions of similar past problems. This book presents research in the field of CBR including business predication researches ; of corporate failure using CBR, and mathematising the Case-Based Reasoning process.
