Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Using data analytics and big data in marketing and strategic
decision-making is a key priority at many organisations and
subsequently a vital part of the skills set for a successful
marketing professional operating today. Authored by world-leading
authorities in the field, Marketing Analytics provides a thoroughly
contemporary overview of marketing analytics and coverage of a wide
range of cutting edge data analytics techniques. It offers a
powerful framework, organising data analysis techniques around
solving four underlying marketing problems: the 'First Principles
of Marketing'. In this way, it offers an action-oriented, applied
approach to managing marketing complexities and issues, and a sound
grounding in making effective decisions based on strong evidence.
It is supported by vivid international cases and examples, and
applied pedagogical features. The companion website offers
comprehensive classroom instruction slides, videos including walk
throughs on all the examples and methods in the book, data sets, a
test bank and a solution guide for instructors.
Every year, around the world, between 250,000 and 500,000 people
suffer a spinal cord injury (SCI). Those with an SCI are two to
five times more likely to die prematurely than people without a
spinal cord injury, with worse survival rates in low- and
middle-income countries. Dynamic aerobic requires integrated
physiologic responses across the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular,
autonomic, pulmonary, thermoregulatory, and immunologic systems.
Moreover, regular aerobic exercise beneficially impacts these same
systems, reducing the risk for a range of diseases and maladies.
This book will present comprehensive information on the unique
physiologic effects of SCI and the potential role of exercise in
treating and mitigating these effects. In addition, it will
incorporate work from scientists across a number of disciplines and
have contributors at multiple levels of investigation and across
physiologic systems. Furthermore, SCI can be considered an
accelerated form of aging due to the severely restricted physical
inactivity imposed, usually at an early age. Therefore, the
information presented may have a broader importance to the
physiology of aging as it relates to inactivity. Lastly, the need
for certain levels of regular aerobic exercise to engender
adaptations beneficial to health is not altered by the burden of an
SCI. Indeed, the amounts of exercise necessary may be even greater
than the able-bodied due to 'passive' ambulation. This book will
also address the potential health benefits for those with an SCI
that can be realized if a sufficient exercise stimulus is provided.
A collection of seventeen articles by colleagues and former
students of Professor J. Maxwell Miller who taught at the Candler
School of Theology, Emory University. The papers deal with the
history, chronology, geography, archaeology and epigraphy of
ancient Israel and its setting in the Levant, and range from broad
methodological discussions of historiography to focused analyses of
individual texts or historical issues. A review of Miller's career
and a select bibliography of his publications are also
included.>
This book is a thorough, eco-critical re-evaluation of Lord Byron
(1789-1824), claiming him as one of the most important ecological
poets in the British Romantic tradition. Using political ecology,
post-humanist theory, new materialism, and ecological science, the
book shows that Byron's major poems-Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, the
metaphysical dramas, and Don Juan-are deeply engaged with
developing a cultural ecology that could account for the
co-creative synergies in human and natural systems, and ground an
emancipatory ecopolitics and ecopoetics scaled to address
globalized human threats to socio-environmental thriving in the
post-Waterloo era. In counterpointing Byron's eco-cosmopolitanism
to the localist dwelling praxis advocated by Romantic Lake poets,
Byron's Nature seeks to enlarge our understanding of the
extraordinary range, depth, and importance of Romanticism's inquiry
into the meaning of nature and our ethical relation to it.
Medicine in the United States is big business. We spend 50
percent more on health care per capita than other developed
countries, but a multitude of measures indicate that we are not
getting health-care value for our money. In Too Big to Succeed,
author Dr. Russell J. Andrews details why health care in America
has become more expensive but less effective and outlines a new
paradigm for health-care delivery.
Too Big to Succeed describes how American medicine is on an
unsustainable course: costs are increasing while benefits are
deteriorating in comparison with other developed nations. Beginning
with the Hippocratic Oath and the the premedical student, Andrews
traces the myriad ways in which the profit motive has infiltrated
American medicine--including medical school training, current
models of health-care delivery, medical professional societies,
medical research, and medical drug and device development.
Presenting an insider's look into the current crisis in health
care, Andrews demonstrates that until both the physician and the
patient return to the relationship that underlies medicine,
physicians will not experience the joy of healing those who seek
their help and patients will not appreciate that a good physician
is a permanent part of their lives.
This volume, Why Europe? Problems of Culture and Identity: Media,
Film, Gender, Youth and Education , addresses a range of issues
which underlie the notions of European identity. Among them are:
what does it mean to be a European? What ideologies have shaped the
political debate over the last two centuries? What place will
minorities find in the Europe of the twenty-first century? What
roles will women play in the future communities? Will Europe become
more open to diversity, or become increasingly introspective, a
'fortress Europe'?
