The radical interdependence between humans who live together makes
virtually all human behavior conditional. The behavior of
individuals is conditional upon the expectations of those around
them, and those expectations are conditional upon the rules
(institutions) and norms (culture) constructed to monitor, reward,
and punish different behaviors. As a result, nearly all hypotheses
about humans are conditional – conditional upon the resources
they possess, the institutions they inhabit, or the cultural
practices that tell them how to behave. Interaction Models provides
a stand-alone, accessible overview of how interaction models, which
are frequently used across the social and natural sciences, capture
the intuition behind conditional claims and context dependence. It
also addresses the simple specification and interpretation errors
that are, unfortunately, commonplace. By providing a comprehensive
and unified introduction to the use and critical evaluation of
interaction models, this book shows how they can be used to test
theoretically-derived claims of conditionality.
Marine Protected Areas: Science, Policy and Management addresses a
full spectrum of issues relating to Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
not currently available in any other single volume. Chapters are
contributed by a wide range of working specialists who examine
conceptions and definitions of MPAs, progress on the implementation
of worldwide MPAs, policy and legal variations across MPAs, the
general importance of coastal communities in implementation, and
the future of MPAs. The book constructively elucidates conflicts,
issues, approaches and solutions in a way that creates a balanced
consideration of the nature of effective policy and management.
Those in theory, designation, implementation or management of MPAs,
from individuals, marine sector organizations, and university and
research center libraries will find it an important work.
This thorough volume explores recent advances that have
revolutionized the field of precision oncology. The chapters,
contributed by experts in the areas of cancer systems and
integrative biology, provide hands-on guidance toward developing
tools to monitor spatial and temporal changes in tumors, tracking
tumor markers in blood, and ultimately developing precision
medicine to combat cancer in real time. Written for the highly
successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include
the kind of detailed implementation advice that ensures successful
results. Authoritative and informative, Cancer Systems and
Integrative Biology serves as an invaluable resource for
researchers, pharmaceutical scientists, and oncologists interested
in expanding their knowledge base in the current developments in
cancer research.
