The essays in the collection present a cogent compilation of case studies focusing on the past, present and future of decentralization in Japan. These include small scale development in the fields such as citizen participation (machizukuri), urban form and architecture, disaster prevention and conservation of monuments.The contributors suggest that new trends are emergingRoutledge contemporary Japan series ;7.Sociology, UrbanJapanDecentralization in governmentJapanJapanEconomic conditions1989-Sociology, UrbanDecentralization in government307.760952HIS021000SOC000000SOC053000bisacshHein Carola1261929Hein CarolaPelletier Philippe1956-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910765818303321Cities, autonomy, and decentralization in Japan4288696UNINA04970nam 22007215 450 991073147170332120251008153508.09789819908318981990831010.1007/978-981-99-0831-8(MiAaPQ)EBC30602225(Au-PeEL)EBL30602225(DE-He213)978-981-99-0831-8(PPN)272271071(CKB)27060220700041(OCoLC)1390571373(EXLCZ)992706022070004120230617d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAcoustic Communication in Animals From Insect Wingbeats to Human Music (Bioacoustics Series Vol.1) /edited by Yoshimasa Seki1st ed. 2023.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2023.1 online resource (231 pages)Print version: Seki, Yoshimasa Acoustic Communication in Animals Singapore : Springer,c2023 9789819908301 Chapter 1.

Sound processing in the auditory periphery: toward speech communication and music comprehension.This book is the first volume of the bioacoustics series published by the Society for Bioacoustics. This volume provides an overview of the advances and recent topics in acoustic communication in various animals. Most animals produce vibrations and sounds by moving their body parts, including vocal organs. These sounds can be research targets of bioacoustics studies. How animals use these sounds, especially in inter-individual relationships, is the focus of this volume, “Acoustic Communication in Animals”. The authors’ expertise varies from molecular biology, neurobiology to psychology, and human brain imaging. Their research subjects range from invertebrates to humans. Despite the variety of topics, chapters are developed under the consideration of ethology and evolution. Readers will recognize the profundity of the topics in each chapter. In addition, the view and understanding of natural sound sequences produced by animals can vary among different cultures. Research from Japan and regions that have been underrepresented in previous literature can offer new ideas and unique perspectives in the study of bioacoustics. Readers can grasp the progress of this research field in a broad range of species in one book. The book presents multi- and interdisciplinary topics and appeals to researchers and students in fields including psychology, physiology, zoology, ethology, and neurosciences.Life sciencesCognition in animalsNeurosciencesPsychologyAnimal culturePsychology, ComparativeLife SciencesAnimal CognitionNeuroscienceBehavioral Sciences and PsychologyAnimal ScienceComparative PsychologyLife sciences.Cognition in animals.Neurosciences.Psychology.Animal culture.Psychology, Comparative.Life Sciences.Animal Cognition.Neuroscience.Behavioral Sciences and Psychology.Animal Science.Comparative Psychology.570Seki Yoshimasa1369227MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910731471703321Acoustic Communication in Animals3395275UNINA
