The governance of natural resources used by many individuals in common is an issue of increasing concern to policy analysts. Both state control and privatization of resources have been advocated, but neither the state nor the market have been uniformly successful in solving common pool resource problems. After critiquing the foundations of policy analysis as applied to natural resources, Elinor Ostrom here provides a unique body of empirical data to explore conditions under which common pool resource problems have been satisfactorily or unsatisfactorily solved. Dr Ostrom uses institutional analysis to explore different ways - both successful and unsuccessful - of governing the commons. In contrast to the proposition of the 'tragedy of the commons' argument, common pool problems sometimes are solved by voluntary organizations rather than by a coercive state. Among the cases considered are communal tenure in meadows and forests, irrigation communities and other water rights, and fisheries.

The dramatic human story of an epic scientific quest: the search for the solution of how to calculate longitude and the unlikely triumph of an English genius. With a Foreword by Neil Armstrong.'Sobel has done the impossible and made horology sexy - no mean feat' New ScientistAnyone alive in the 18th century would have known that 'the longitude problem' was the thorniest scientific dilemma of the day - and had been for centuries. Lacking the ability to measure their longitude, sailors throughout the great ages of exploration had been literally lost at sea as soon as they lost sight of land. Thousands of lives, and the increasing fortunes of nations, hung on a resolution.The quest for a solution had occupied scientists and their patrons for the better part of two centuries when, in 1714, Parliament upped the ante by offering a king's ransom (GBP20,000) to anyone whose method or device proved successful. Countless quacks weighed in with preposterous suggestions. The scientific establishment throughout Europe - from Galileo to Sir Isaac Newton - had mapped the heavens in both hemispheres in its certain pursuit of a celestial answer. In stark contrast, one man, John Harrison, dared to imagine a mechanical solution.Full of heroism and chicanery, brilliance and the absurd, LONGITUDE is also a fascinating brief history of astronomy, navigation and clockmaking.Note that it has not been possible to include the same picture content that appeared in the original print version.

Grundloven kan være svær at forstå. Sproget er indviklet, og nogle ord har en mærkelig betydning. Kongen betyder ikke altid kongen, men hvornår skal der i grunden stå det ene, og hvornår det andet? Denne bog er en genfortælling af grundlovens enkelte paragraffer i et klart sprog. Materialet har været benyttet af adskillige skoleklasser i historie og samfundsfag.

Målrettet ledere, direktører, og HR-medarbejdere, introduceres bogen "#Youngster - 5 dogmer til at tiltrække og fastholde millennials". Din virksomheds evne til at tiltrække og fastholde unge talenter vil med garanti blive udfordret. Forfatterne bag bogen, Mikkel Sandal Hansen, Patrick Walther Thomsen, Andreas von der Recke og Jacob Harlev, har stiftet rådgivningsvirksomheden YoungConsult, som i dag drives af Andreas og Mikkel. Baseret på et studie af 500+ studerende, 45+ dybdeinterviews og case-studier af Deloitte, Les Deux og SOUNDBOKS, giver "#Youngster" dig fortællingen om unge, fortalt af unge. De unge talenter i klassen marcherer netop nu med sine dovne skridt ind i dansk erhvervsliv. I folkemunde bliver vi kaldt Millennials, Generation Y og Generation Z. Kært barn har mange navne, men én ting er sikkert: Vi er en generation som er vores helt egen, og vi får sjældent de store roser med på vejen. Om man er enig i kritikken eller ej, kommer vi ikke udenom, at os og resten af vores fucked generation inden for få år udgør en stor del af arbejdsmarkedet. Hvis du har været online inden for det seneste år, så er du formentlig stødt på en undersøgelse, et debatindlæg eller en artikel der behandler generationsskiftet på arbejdsmarkedet. Enten kritiseres eller lovprises vores generation. Nogle indlæg er bare sure opstød. Andre indlæg er baseret på internationale studier, gennemført af anerkendte og respekterede forskere eller konsulenthuse. Fællesnævneren er, at kommentarer eller undersøgelser ofte oprinder fra Xere eller Boomere. Folk der har læst og studeret sig til, hvordan det er at være ung med de unge. Vi oplever ofte, at disse studier er gode forsøg, men ikke rammer hovedet på sømmet. De er ikke dybdegående nok. Den primære årsag er, at de er biased af negative holdninger, eller fordi, de ikke stiller det vigtige, nysgerrige spørgsmål: "Hvorfor?". Det har vi gjort. Det er blevet til 5 dogmer. Og de er sgu blevet gode. Det siger vores forældre selv. Dogmer i sig selv lyder jo fandens gammelt, og det er det jo også. Dogmeidéen er at lade historien træde frem i modsætning til mediet. Som da Lars Von Trier og Thomas Vinterberg redefinerede filmindustrien med deres manifest Dogme 95. Vi redefinerer, hvad talenter i virkeligheden vil have på en arbejdsplads. Du kan bruge vores dogmer som rettesnor, inspiration eller optænding på en kold vinteraften i sommerhuset. Du bestemmer - vi kræver bare at du lytter.

Collaboration is increasingly difficult and increasingly necessary Often, to get something done that really matters to us, we need to work with people we don't agree with or like or trust. Adam Kahane has faced this challenge many times, working on big issues like democracy and jobs and climate change and on everyday issues in organizations and families. He has learned that our conventional understanding of collaboration-that it requires a harmonious team that agrees on where it's going, how it's going to get there, and who needs to do what-is wrong. Instead, we need a new approach to collaboration that embraces discord, experimentation, and genuine cocreation-which is exactly what Kahane provides in this groundbreaking and timely book.

The photos in this edition are black and white. <p>About a half-million Corvettes were sold between 1968 and 1982, and the distinctive Shark body style with the combination of V-8 power has gained legendary status. Some Corvettes are too rare and valuable to be modified. These include the big-block cars built between 1968 and 1974, which command big dollars at auctions. However, the vast majority of Corvettes, built between 1975 and 1982, are affordable and plentiful, and these are ideal for high-performance builds. <p>Many Corvettes from this era are often considered weekend cruisers because they carry antiquated brakes, steering, and suspension, and also anemic V-8 engines with 165-220 horsepower. Lacking modern technology, these 31-year-old or older cars are ripe for a high-performance transformation. And with the right build-up plan, products, and services, they can become high-performance sports cars that rival current sports cars on the road today. Corvette expert and builder Chris Petris shows how to transform a mundane C3 into a standout, high-performance car. The most popular upgrades to every component group are covered including engine, transmission, differential, front suspension, rear suspension, steering, chassis, electrics, interior, tires and wheels, and more. With this information, you will confidently know all the products and  procedures that make the car as a whole a far better performer than stock. <p><i>Corvette C3: How to Build and Modify</i> is the ideal book for the at-home mechanic as well as the adept enthusiast supervising the build-up of a Corvette. Whether it's mildly modifying your Corvette for greater comfort and drivability or substantially modifying it for vastly improved acceleration, braking, and handling, this book has a massive amount of information to help accomplish the reader's goals.

Shay was still angry but shrugged nonchalantly as if to say, it's not that big of a deal. "So, what am I wrong about?""You're not going to want to hear this, but I have to tell you anyway." Liam paused before finishing. "You might be working hard, but you're not doing it for the company.""What the hell does that mean?" Shay wanted to know.Knowing that his adversary might punch him for what he was about to say, Liam responded. "You're doing it for yourself."New York Times best-selling author Patrick Lencioni has written a dozen books that focus on how leaders can build teams and lead organizations. In The Motive, he shifts his attention toward helping them understand the importance of why they're leading in the first place.In what may be his edgiest page-turner to date, Lencioni thrusts his readers into a day-long conversation between rival CEOs. Shay Davis is the CEO of Golden Gate Alarm, who, after just a year in his role, is beginning to worry about his job and is desperate to figure out how to turn things around. With nowhere else to turn, Shay receives some hard-to-swallow advice from the most unlikely and unwanted source--Liam Alcott, CEO of a more successful security company and his most hated opponent.Lencioni uses unexpected plot twists and crisp dialogue to take us on a journey that culminates in a resolution that is as unexpected as it is enlightening. As he does in his other books, he then provides a straightforward summary of the lessons from the fable, combining a clear explanation of his theory with practical advice to help executives examine their true motivation for leading. In addition to provoking readers to honestly assess themselves, Lencioni presents action steps for changing their approach in five key areas. In doing so, he helps leaders avoid the pitfalls that stifle their organizations and even hurt the people they are meant to serve.
