Even if we get serious about fighting climate change, it's clear that we will need to adapt to the changes already underway in our environment. This book considers how individual economic choices in response to climate change will transform the larger economy.0 Using the tools of microeconomics, Matthew E. Kahn explores how decisions about where we live, how our food is grown, and where new business ventures choose to locate are impacted by climate change. Kahn suggests new ways that big data can be deployed to ease energy or water shortages to aid agricultural operations and proposes informed policy changes related to public infrastructure, disaster relief, and real estate to nudge land use, transportation options, and business development in the right direction.Climatic changesEconomic aspectsMicroeconomicsclimate changeengEUROVOCeconomic conditionsengEUROVOCmicroeconomicsengEUROVOCClimatic changesEconomic aspects.Microeconomics.climate change.economic conditions.microeconomics.363.73874Kahn Matthew E.1219470MiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLW9910554268003321Adapting to climate change2819722UNINA04927nam 2201117 a 450 991077911660332120230207231748.01-280-99554-897866137671580-520-94228-010.1525/9780520942288(CKB)2550000000105116(EBL)967036(OCoLC)799766966(SSID)ssj0000695053(PQKBManifestationID)11368978(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000695053(PQKBWorkID)10670180(PQKB)11351212(MiAaPQ)EBC967036(DE-B1597)520770(OCoLC)1100531337(DE-B1597)9780520942288(Au-PeEL)EBL967036(CaPaEBR)ebr10579828(CaONFJC)MIL376715(EXLCZ)99255000000010511620080624d2009 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrCalifornia Indians and their environment[electronic resource] an introduction /Kent G.

Based in part on new archaeological findings, it tells how the California Indians lived in vibrant polities, each boasting a rich village life including chiefs, religious specialists, master craftspeople, dances, feasts, and ceremonies. Throughout, the book emphasizes how these diverse communities interacted with the state's varied landscape, enhancing its already bountiful natural resources through various practices centered around prescribed burning. A handy reference section, illustrated with more than one hundred color photographs, describes the plants, animals, and minerals the California Indians used for food, basketry and cordage, medicine, and more. At a time when we are grappling with the problems of maintaining habitat diversity and sustainable economies, we find that these native peoples and their traditions have much to teach us about the future, as well as the past, of California.California natural history guides ;96.Indians of North AmericaCaliforniaSocial life and customsIndians of North AmericaHuntingCaliforniaHunting and gathering societiesCaliforniaHuman ecologyCaliforniaHistoryIndigenous peoplesEcologyCaliforniaCaliforniaEnvironmental conditionsHistorybasketry.biological diversity.california.ceremony.chiefs.cordage.cultural diversity.cultural history.dances.diversity.environmental sciences.environmentalism.ethnobiology.ethnobotany.feasts.fire.food.indigenous cultures.indigenous peoples.indigenous religions.master craftspeople.medicine.migration.native americans in california.native americans.native californians.natural environment.natural resources.sustainability.united states of america.Indians of North AmericaSocial life and customs.Indians of North AmericaHuntingHunting and gathering societiesHuman ecologyHistory.Indigenous peoplesEcology979.4/01Lightfoot Kent G.1953-1525373Parrish Otis1525374Panich Lee M1152142MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779116603321California Indians and their environment3766719UNINA06796nam 2201693 450 991080687140332120230126205304.00-691-17380-X1-4008-5025-810.1515/9781400850259(CKB)2550000001273224(EBL)1603114(OCoLC)877868295(SSID)ssj0001183784(PQKBManifestationID)11777174(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001183784(PQKBWorkID)11190811(PQKB)11110041(MiAaPQ)EBC1603114(StDuBDS)EDZ0001059558(MdBmJHUP)muse43198(DE-B1597)453976(OCoLC)979755451(DE-B1597)9781400850259(Au-PeEL)EBL1603114(CaPaEBR)ebr10861618(CaONFJC)MIL595269(EXLCZ)99255000000127322420140429h20142014 uy 0engurun#---|u||utxtccrWandering Greeks the ancient Greek diaspora from the age of Homer to the death of Alexander the Great /Robert GarlandCourse BookPrinceton, New Jersey :Princeton University Press,2014.©20141 online resource (345 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-691-16105-4 1-306-64018-0 Includes bibliographical references and indexes.Front matter --Contents --Illustrations --Maps --Preface --1.

But Robert Garland argues that the Greeks were highly mobile, that their movement was essential to the survival, success, and sheer sustainability of their society, and that this wandering became a defining characteristic of their culture. Addressing a neglected but essential subject, Wandering Greeks focuses on the diaspora of tens of thousands of people between about 700 and 325 BCE, demonstrating the degree to which Greeks were liable to be forced to leave their homes due to political upheaval, oppression, poverty, warfare, or simply a desire to better themselves. Attempting to enter into the mind-set of these wanderers, the book provides an insightful and sympathetic account of what it meant for ancient Greeks to part from everyone and everything they held dear, to start a new life elsewhere-or even to become homeless, living on the open road or on the high seas with no end to their journey in sight. Each chapter identifies a specific kind of "wanderer," including the overseas settler, the deportee, the evacuee, the asylum-seeker, the fugitive, the economic migrant, and the itinerant, and the book also addresses repatriation and the idea of the "portable polis." The result is a vivid and unique portrait of ancient Greece as a culture of displaced persons.GreeksMigrationsHistoryTo 1500GreeceSocial conditionsTo 146 B.CGreeceCivilizationTo 146 B.CArchaic Greece.Athenian law.Greek antiquity.Greek citizenship.Greek civilization.Greek identity.Greek-speaking world.Ionian migration.L'esprit de retour.Mediterranean world.adaptability.ancient Greece.anestios.aphrtr.apolis.asulia.asylum-seeker.asylum.civic identity.criminals.cultural homogeneity.democracy.deportation.deportee.deportees.diaspora.displaced persons.economic migrant.economic migrants.economic migration.entrepreneurship.ethnic cleansing.evacuation.evacuee.exile.exiles.familial identity.financial destitution.fugitives.hostilities.human resource.humanitarian agencies.itinerants.land hunger.legal battles.local sanctuary.long-distance travelers.mass deportation.migrants.migration.mobility.oikos.oligarch persuasion.overpopulation.overseas settler.ownership.panhellenic institutions.phratry.phug.pioneers.polis.political identity.political opponents.political pressure.political upheavals.portable polis.prosecution.radical upheaval.refuge.refugees.relocation.repatriation.resource fluctuations.returnees.sanctuary.servile labor.settlements.settlers.social identity.starvation.stasis.tyranny.voluntary flight.wanderer.wartime evacuations.GreeksMigrationsHistory938HIS002010HIS002000bisacshGarland Robert1947-1169816MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910806871403321Wandering Greeks4023393UNINA04798nam 22007812 450 991014181740332120230621135336.09781922064318 ‡q (ebook)1922064319 ‡q (ebook)97819220643011922064300(CKB)2670000000410016(SSID)ssj0000894226(PQKBManifestationID)11480251(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000894226(PQKBWorkID)10839233(PQKB)10241142(UkCbUP)CR9781922064318(EXLCZ)9781922064318(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/26636(EXLCZ)99267000000041001620130326d2012|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBridging transcultural divides Asian languages and cultures in global highter education /edited by Xianlin Song and Ket Cadman[electronic resource]University of Adelaide Press2012Adelaide :The University of Adelaide Press,2012.1 online resource (xvi, 286 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 02 Oct 2015).Print version: 1922064300 Print version: 9781922064301 Includes bibliographical references.Pt.

The book’s central message is that education for Asian students in Australia, and more broadly in the West, can no longer been seen as a one-way transfer of knowledge, but must be understood as a process of reciprocal learning in which both teachers and students are changed by the experience.Oriental languagesStudy and teaching (Highter)AsiaCivilizationStudy and teaching (Highter)AsiaCivilizationStudy and teaching (Higher)social studiescultural studiespedagogylanguage curriculumchinesetranscultural exchangeindonesianstudy skillsplagiarismasian languagesglobalisationjapaneseaustralian universitiesChinaCritical thinkingInternational studentKanjiOriental languagesStudy and teaching (Highter)495Xianlin SongedtSong XianlinCadman KateUniversity of Adelaide Press,UkCbUPUkCbUP9910141817403321Bridging transcultural divides2160685UNINA02916nam 22006255 450 991076029100332120251009083540.09783031420498303142049710.1007/978-3-031-42049-8(PPN)273595539(MiAaPQ)EBC30853313(Au-PeEL)EBL30853313(OCoLC)1408684246(CKB)28652803800041(OCoLC)1407312983(DE-He213)978-3-031-42049-8(EXLCZ)992865280380004120231101d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierActive Price Management Be a Price Maker, Not a Price Taker! /by Sven Reinecke, Laura Johanna Noll1st ed. 2023.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Springer,2023.1 online resource (98 pages)Business Guides on the Go,2731-4766Print version: Reinecke, Sven Active Price Management Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023 9783031420481 Active Price Management: Fundamentals and Challenges -- Conditions of Price Management -- Goals of Price Management -- Price Management Strategies -- Price Management for Innovations -- Auctions -- Price Management for Business-to-Business Services -- Conclusion.This book demonstrates how to transform pricing, often considered the neglected aspect of marketing, into the most influential marketing tool that positively impacts the company's profits in a sustainable manner. Ultimately, every aspect of marketing is reflected in the price, as it represents the customer's value exchange for the other three value-creating marketing instruments: the product (functional value), communication (emotional value), and distribution (availability). The authors present the essential framework conditions and fundamental principles of active price management. They specifically emphasize those aspects that have proven particularly relevant to business practice through the Executive Education program at the University of St. Gallen (HSG).Business Guides on the Go,2731-4766MarketingConsumer behaviorMicroeconomicsMarketingConsumer BehaviorMicroeconomicsMarketing.Consumer behavior.Microeconomics.Marketing.Consumer Behavior.Microeconomics.658.816Reinecke Sven1437547Noll Laura JohannaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910760291003321Active Price Management3598242UNINA
