In How Humans Cooperate, Richard E. Blanton and Lane F. Fargher take a new approach to investigating human cooperation, developed from the vantage point of an "anthropological imagination." Drawing on the discipline’s broad and holistic understanding of humans in biological, social, and cultural dimensions and across a wide range of temporal and cultural variation, the authors unite psychological and institutional approaches by demonstrating the interplay of institution building and cognitive abilities of the human brain. Blanton and Fargher develop an approach that is strongly empirical, historically deep, and more synthetic than other research designs, using findings from fields as diverse as neurobiology, primatology, ethnography, history, art history, and archaeology. While much current research on collective action pertains to local-scale cooperation, How Humans Cooperate puts existing theories to the test at larger scales in markets, states, and cities throughout the Old and New Worlds. This innovative book extends collective action theory beyond Western history and into a broadly cross-cultural dimension, places cooperation in the context of large and complex human societies, and demonstrates the interplay of collective action and aspects of human cognitive ability. By extending the scope and content of collective action theory, the authors find a fruitful new path to understanding human cooperation.

I problemi ecologici e i cambiamenti climatici pongono nuove sfide e obbligano alla cooperazione e all'adattamento ai problemi ambientali. Ci costringe gli Stati a competere tra loro, poich l'"oro blu" diventa una risorsa estremamente ambita, non solo tra gli individui, ma anche tra gli Stati. Il XXI secolo ha visto l'emergere di nuovi tipi di conflitto noti come "conflitti verdi", o conflitti d'uso orizzontali e verticali, generati dalla crescente scarsit di risorse naturali. L'acqua l'esempio pi evidente. A tal fine, la cooperazione tra gli Stati rivieraschi essenziale per evitare i conflitti idrici. Questo libro dimostra che l'acqua un'autentica area di cooperazione che pu promuovere la pace, lo sviluppo socio-economico per il benessere delle popolazioni rivierasche, la gestione sostenibile degli ecosistemi e delle specie che dipendono da questa risorsa, la riduzione della povert e la prevenzione dei conflitti tra gli Stati rivieraschi. Tuttavia, se gestita o utilizzata male, l'acqua pu diventare un catalizzatore di tensioni.

Il Babbler dalla gola bianca (Kupeornis gilberti) classificato come una delle specie aviarie "a rischio" meno studiate al mondo. endemico del Parco nazionale di Bakossi (BNP), dove deve affrontare minacce come l'agricoltura e il degrado dell'habitat. La mancanza di informazioni su questa specie ha attirato la nostra attenzione sul tasso di cambiamento del suo habitat e sui fattori che influenzano la sua probabilit di presenza a causa di queste minacce. La crescita delle piantagioni e la deforestazione stanno causando la conversione della copertura forestale all'agricoltura e la perdita di habitat per gli animali selvatici. Per mitigare le minacce che sono responsabili della perdita dell'habitat del Babbler gola bianca, proponiamo: la delimitazione del PNL, l'intensificazione dei pattugliamenti e l'incoraggiamento dell'agricoltura sostenibile.
In the early 1900s, so-called race filmmakers set out to produce black-oriented pictures to counteract the racist caricatures that had dominated cinema from its inception. Richard E. Norman, a southern-born white filmmaker, was one such pioneer. From humble beginnings as a roving "home talent" filmmaker, recreating photoplays that starred local citizens, Norman would go on to produce high-quality feature-length race pictures. Together with his better-known contemporaries Oscar Micheaux and Noble and George Johnson, Richard E. Norman helped to define early race filmmaking. Making use of unique archival resources, including Norman's personal and professional correspondence, detailed distribution records, and newly discovered original shooting scripts, this book offers a vibrant portrait of race in early cinema.

Richard E. Flathman is a ground-breaking theorist of key political concepts, a fierce defender of individuality, a close and original reader of Hobbes and an advocate of a willful conception of liberalism. In this volume P E Digeser draws together some of his key works. The collection is framed by an introduction and an interview with Flathman, where he reflects on his contributions. By thinking through and with Wittgenstein’s later philosophy of language, his work clarifies and refines terms that are central to politics and to the tradition of political thought. His work also seeks to cure certain persistent muddles and confusions in our political concepts as well as create and defend a space for the opaque and opalescent features of ourselves. Flathman advances a liberalism that is more open to and celebratory of the idiosyncratic as well as to voices not ordinarily associated with the liberal tradition. The editor has focused on her work in three key areas: The first part focuses on Flathman as a theorist of meaning and presents excepts from his analyses of quality, authority, and rights; The second part focuses on his contributions to understanding the meaning and value of freedom; The final part presents selections that illustrate his conception of liberalism and individuality. Helping to highlight how the innovations in Flathman's thought have shaped the field of political theory, this collection will be of interest to students and scholars.

In 2012, Richard E. Wainerdi retired as president and chief executive officer of the Texas Medical Center after almost three decades at the helm. During his tenure, Wainerdi oversaw the expansion of the center into the world’s largest medical complex, hosting more than fifty separate institutions. “I wasn’t playing any of the instruments, but it’s been a privilege being the conductor,” he once said to a newspaper reporter.William Henry Kellar traces Wainerdi’s remarkable life story from a bookish childhood in the Bronx to a bold move west to study petroleum engineering at the University of Oklahoma. Wainerdi went on to earn a master’s degree and a PhD from Penn State University where he immersed himself in nuclear engineering. By the late 1950s, Texas A&M University recruited Wainerdi to found the Nuclear Science Center, where he also served as professor and later associate vice president for academic affairs.In the 1980s, Wainerdi took charge of the Texas Medical Center, embarking on a “second career” that ultimately expanded the center from thirty-one institutions to fifty-three and increased its size threefold. Wainerdi pushed for and ensured a culture of collaboration and cooperation. In doing this, he developed a new nonprofit administrative model that emphasized building consensus, providing vital support services, and connecting member institutions with resources that enabled them to focus on their unique areas of expertise. At a time when Houston was widely known as the “energy capital of the world,” the city also became home to the largest medical complex in the world. Wainerdi’s success was to enable each member of the Texas Medical Center to be an integral part of something bigger and something very special in the development of modern medicine.

Professor Richard Quandt has made a unique contribution to the development of economics in the 20th century. The range and significance of his work has long required a collection of his essays which will allow his contribution to be assessed as a whole.Despite an early interest in microeconomic theory, Richard Quandt has devoted most of his career to econometrics and, in particular, to modal split estimation. More recently his work has focused on the econometrics of disequilibrium models with reference to both free market and planned economies. As well as presenting his many significant articles on microtheory, general econometrics, disequilibrium modelling, financial economics and the economics of planned economies, this collection will have a particular value for all scholars interested in the emergence of the new economies in Eastern Europe, a subject to which Professor Quandt has applied himself in recent years.This fascinating book includes an introduction by Professor Quandt describing his early life in Budapest and the circumstances which led him to study economics in America.
Admiral Richard E. Byrd is a biography written by Alfred Steinberg that delves into the life of the famous American naval officer and explorer. The book covers Byrd's early life, his naval career, and his expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica. The author provides a detailed account of Byrd's life, including his childhood in Virginia, his education at the United States Naval Academy, and his military service during World War I. The book also explores Byrd's interest in aviation, which led him to become one of the first pilots to fly over the North Pole.The main focus of the book, however, is on Byrd's expeditions to the polar regions. Steinberg provides a vivid description of Byrd's experiences in the harsh and unforgiving environments of the Arctic and Antarctica, including his famous flight over the South Pole in 1929.Throughout the book, Steinberg portrays Byrd as a brave and determined explorer who pushed the boundaries of human endurance in his quest for knowledge and discovery. The author also highlights Byrd's contributions to science and his efforts to promote international cooperation in polar research.Overall, Admiral Richard E. Byrd is a well-researched and engaging biography that provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America's most celebrated explorers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
