This volume focuses on frontiers in regional research and identifies trends and future developments in the areas of innovation, regional growth and migration. It also addresses topics such as mobility, regional forecasting, and regional policy, and includes expert contributions on disasters, resilience, and sustainability. Building on recent methodological and modelling advances, as well as on extensive policy-analysis experience, top international regional scientists identify and evaluate emerging new conceptual and methodological trends and directions in regional research. This book will appeal to a wide readership, from regional scientists and economists to geographers, quantitatively oriented regional planners and other related disciplines. It offers a source of relevant information for academic researchers and policy analysts in government, and is also suitable for advanced teaching courses on regional and spatial science, economics and political science.
This is the second volume in a two-part series on frontiers in regional research. It identifies methodological advances as well as trends and future developments in regional systems modelling and open science. Building on recent methodological and modelling advances, as well as on extensive policy-analysis experience, top international regional scientists identify and evaluate emerging new conceptual and methodological trends and directions in regional research. Topics such as dynamic interindustry modelling, computable general equilibrium models, exploratory spatial data analysis, geographic information science, spatial econometrics and other advanced methods are the central focus of this book. The volume provides insights into the latest developments in object orientation, open source, and workflow systems, all in support of open science. It will appeal to a wide readership, from regional scientists and economists to geographers, quantitatively oriented regional planners and other related disciplines. It offers a source of relevant information for academic researchers and policy analysts in government, and is also suitable for advanced teaching courses on regional and spatial science, economics and political science.

For advanced beginners through advanced intermediate guitarists, this book presents a structured approach to developing a thorough knowledge of the guitar fretboard. Knowing where the notes are, without having to stop and think, is essential to chordal and soloing mastery, but few structured methods for developing this knowledge exist. This book fills that gap, and does so by developing a set of exercises that will at the same time challenge the student, develop a thorough knowledge of the guitar fretboard what's where, and in the process build the foundations of tonal structures that will benefit those who play any style at any level. Audio mp3s for the exercises are downloadable from the book's website at www.FretBoardABCs.com. The book begins with a very brief few sections that present the musical theoretic rationale for the 24 exercises that comprise most of the book. Those who already have the necessary understanding of major and minor scale fundamentals and the concept of triads can move directly to the exercises, but nearly everyone will find an informational nugget or two that will enhance their understanding and playing ability. The exercises themselves essentially move the student through the cycle of fifths, building triads on each root note in the cycle. The tablature that accompanies the standard notation creates an approach that economizes on left hand movement by selecting fingering forms that minimize horizontal movement along the fretboard. The exercises move first through several cycle patterns using major triads, then through the cycle patterns using minor triads. The book concludes with prescriptions for elaborating on and augmenting these exercises by adding 6ths, 7ths, and 9ths to the triads, and includes suggestions for adding variety to the triad extensions. This book will be an excellent resource for beginners looking to accelerate their progress, and for intermediate and even some more advanced players who've never developed a comprehensive knowledge of FretBoard ABCs and the foundations of tonal structures. There are no magic bullets, becoming a good musician takes effort, but students who invest their time in this effectively structured approach will see dramatic improvements in their playing, and be one step closer to guitar mastery
Cervantes in Seventeenth-century England garners well over a
thousand English references to Cervantes and his works, thus
providing the fullest and most intriguing early English picture
ever made of the writings of Spain's greatest writer. Besides
references to the nineteen books of Cervantes's prose available to
seventeenth-century English readers (including four little-known
abridgments), this new volume includes entries by such notable
writers as Ben Jonson, John Fletcher, William Wycherley, Aphra
Behn, Thomas Hobbes, John Dryden, and John Locke, as well as many
lesser-known and anonymous writers. A reader will find, among
others, a counterfeiter, a midwife, an astrologer, a princess, a
diarist, and a Harvard graduate. Altogether this broad range of
writers, famed and forgotten alike, brings to light not only
sectarian and political tensions of the day, but also glimpses of
the arts-of weaving, singing, acting, engraving, and painting. Even
dancing, for there was a dance called the "Sancho Panzo."
