This book offers insights into how the Theory of Change framework
can be effectively employed in a wide range of social
interventions. Presenting its potential to support strategy and
strategic thinking, this book offers an entry point to
understanding how Theory of Change can be applied beyond the
typical domain of aid projects. Written by leading scholars and
practitioners in the field, the book applies a range of case
studies to explore how Theory of Change can be implemented in
projects and programmes on different scales. Bringing together
cases from different geographic, social, economic and cultural
contexts, it demonstrates how Theory of Change can be adapted and
help projects to replicate, and showcases the different ways in
which practitioners can utilize it. Strategic Thinking, Design and
the Theory of Change will be essential reading for both
professionals already working with Theory of Change and academics
interested in strategy, organization studies, innovation
management, design research and project management. Graduate and
undergraduate students will also find the book’s practical
approach and intensive use of case studies of value.
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.

This book helps to establish a simple framework to identify and use
bird species as a bioindicator for high nature value (HNV)
farmlands. This book focuses on suitable methods for monitoring the
HNV areas, and presents the results of several case studies. The
chapters put forward ways to integrate ecosystems assessment,
geographical information systems (GIS) and strategies for
conservation of local biodiversity. An innovative framework focuses
on the use of species distribution models (SDMs) in order to
explore the importance of each characteristic of HNV farmlands.
Furthermore, the book examines the relationships among bird species
richness, land use diversity and landscape metrics at a local scale
in the farmlands.
Adenosine A2A receptor antagonists have shown great promise in the
treatment of Parkinson's Disease and alleviation of symptoms. This
book addresses various aspects of this class of drugs from their
chemical development to their clinical use. Among the many
insightful chapters contained in this book, there are three unique
reviews that have not previously been published in any format: (1)
a history of istradefylline, the first A2A antagonist approved for
treatment of Parkinson's Disease, (2) an overview of neuroimaging
studies in human death and disease and (3) a study of urate as a
possible biomarker and neuroprotectant.
This book demonstrates the continuing relevance of economics for
understanding the world, through a restatement of the importance of
plurality and heterodox ideas for teaching and research. The Great
Financial Crash of 2007-8 gave rise to a widespread critique of
economics for its inability to explain the most significant
economic event since the 1930s. The current straightjacket of
neo-classical undergraduate economic teaching and research hinders
students' understanding of the world they live in. The chapters in
this book provide examples to demonstrate the importance of
pluralistic and heterodox ideas from across the breadth of
economics. The authors' plurality of approach is indicative of the
fact that economics is a much broader discipline than the dominant
neo-classical orthodoxy would suggest. This volume provides
undergraduate students with a range of alternative ideas and
university lecturers with examples whereby the curricula have been
broadened to include pluralist and heterodox ideas.
