Sommario/riassunto

The Baño Nuevo 1 cave is a unique and relevant archaeological site for the study of the regional prehistory of Aisén, from the
Patagonia and the South American region, particularly for the set of human burials deposited during the
Early Holocene and its long occupational sequence. In this study, the significance of the archaeobotanical record is assessed
of Baño Nuevo 1, from a combination of the macro and microscopic lines of evidence, highlighting its
contribution to archaeological information discussing plant supply strategies and their uses among
the steppe hunter-gatherer groups settled in the place for more than seven thousand five hundred years.

Carolina Belmar, Archaeologist specialized in Archeobotany, presents her new book, in which she addresses the
Uses given to plants by hunter-gatherer groups settled for more than 7,500 years in the
Baño Nuevo 1 cave  in the Aisén region, Chile.

los grupos cazadores-recolectores esteparios asentados en el lugar a lo largo de más de siete mil quinientos años.

Sommario/riassunto

This volume is conceptualised around the notion by Raymond Williams, a cultural theorist, that any cultural system comprises fragments of the past and the emergent alongside the dominant. The book focuses on 'governance' or how a society governs itself across the state, business and civic sectors in Singapore and how it might evolve over the next decade. Its first section looks at how Singapore's political history has shaped today's political institutions and culture and why these might change. Three scenarios of Singapore's political future are proffered. The authors argue how there are and m

Nota di contenuto

Foreword / G.C. Harcourt -- 1. The specification of empirical models -- 2. The evaluation of empirical models -- 3. Comments on the evaluation of econometric models and of forecasts.

Sommario/riassunto

In these three essays, Professor Granger explains the process of constructing and evaluating an empirical model. Drawing on a wide range of cases and vignettes from economics, finance, politics and environment economics, as well as from art, literature, and the entertainment industry, Professor Granger combines rigour with intuition to provide a unique and entertaining insight into one of the most important subjects in modern economics. Chapter 1 deals with Specification. The process of specifying a model is discussed using  deforestation in the Amazon region of Brazil as an illustration. Chapter 2 considers Evaluation, and argues that insufficent evaluation is undertaken by economists, and that models should be evaluated in terms of the quality of their output. In Chapter 3, the question of how to evaluate forecasts is considered at several levels of increasing depth



and using a more sophisticated, technical approach than in the earlier two chapters.
