For this three-volume set the editors have selected many of the
most influential articles published since 1984 on the topics of
knowledge management and the improvement of organizational
learning, developmental learning by individual organizations and
the development of populations of organizations. Many of the
articles in Volume I are trailblazers in the field of knowledge
management; they discuss ways of fostering learning, managing
knowledge and extracting economic benefits from knowledge.Volume II
investigates how individual organizations learn: topics covered
include cognitive versus behavioural learning, interpretation,
incremental change and reorientation, and learning from success and
failure. Volume III follows the development of the academic study
of populations of organizations: it explores both behavioural and
cognitive learning processes from the point of view of industries,
geographic neighbourhoods and networks. Authoritative introductions
to each volume by the editors offer a comprehensive overview and
informative discussion of the issues.

This is the first in-depth study of the sojourn in Sydney made by
Nicolas Baudin's scientific expedition to Australia in 1802.
Starbuck focuses on the reconstruction of the voyage during the
expedition's stay in colonial Sydney and how this sheds new light
on our understanding of French society, politics and science in the
era of Bonaparte.

time, the explorer Nicolas Baudin made a voyage to Australia and
made an unscheduled stop in Sydney where he restructured the
expedition. Starbuck examines Baudin's captainship, life on board
the ship, the details of the stop in Port Jackson, and the 'new
voyage' that followed.

This open access book prepares current and aspiring analytics
professionals to effectively address this need by curating key
concepts spanning the entire analytics lifecycle, along with
step-by-step instructions for their applications to real-world
problems, using ubiquitous and freely available open-source
software. This book does not assume prior knowledge of statistics,
how to query databases, or how to write performant code; early
chapters include an introduction to R and SQL as well as an
overview of statistical foundations. Human capital is an
organization’s most important asset. Without the knowledge and
skills of people, an organization can accomplish nothing. The
acquisition, development, and retention of critical talent has
become increasingly more complex and challenging, and organizations
are making significant investments to gain a deeper, data-informed
understanding of organizational phenomena impacting the bottom
line. By the end of this book, readers will be able to: •
Design and conduct empirical research • Query and wrangle data
using SQL • Profile, clean, and analyze data using R • Apply
appropriate statistical and ML models to a range of people
analytics use cases • Package and present analyses to communicate
impactful insights to stakeholders

Performing Animality provides theoretical and creative
interventions into the presence of the animal and ideas of
animality in performance. Animals have always played a part in
human performance practices. Maintaining a crucial role in many
communities' cultural traditions, animal-human encounters have been
key in the development of performance. Similarly, performance
including both living animals and/or representations of animals
provides the context for encounters in which issues of power, human
subjectivity and otherness are explored. Crucially, however, the
inclusion of animals in performance also offers an opportunity to
investigate ethical and moral assumptions about human and non-human
animals. This book offers a historical and theoretical exploration
of animal presence in performance by looking at the concept of
animality and how it has developed in theatre and performance
practices from the eighteenth century to today. Furthermore, it
points to shifts in political, cultural, and ethical animal-human
relations emerging within the context of animality and performance.

perspectives of changes in marriage and family over time, including
the impact of the Great Recession and of new media technologies. A
hallmark of Families in Context remains the well-researched,

ages and family backgrounds to draw their own conclusions about
controversial topics. Features of the new edition include coverage
of the Affordable Care Act; new social media and families; the
latest trends in poverty, education, social mobility, gender,

Several states already boast volumes showcasing their archeological
history, but not New Hampshire--until now. David R. Starbuck's
volume fills that void. Going beyond standard state guides that
focus primarily on prehistoric sites, Starbuck also devotes equal
time to historic, industrial, and nautical sites. This approach
reflects the thinking of most contemporary archeologists who
conduct research at a diverse range of sites.
A veteran of thirty years of field research throughout the Granite
State, Starbuck revisits some of his own sites, including
excavations at the New England Glassworks in Temple, two
prehistoric sites on the Merrimack River, the Joseph Hazeltine
pottery workshop outside Concord, the Governor Wentworth Estate in
Wolfeboro, and his own long-term survey and excavation project at
Canterbury Shaker Village. At the same time, though, Starbuck
includes the work of other contemporary New Hampshire
archeologists, representative sites of "old-timers" whose digs
preceded his arrival, and the investigations of avocational
diggers.
Starbuck's introduction offers an anecdotal history of
archeological research in New Hampshire through the people who
shaped it. Part I discusses discoveries that predate white
settlement: the Paleo-Indian Period; the Archaic Period; and the
Woodland Period. Part II moves from the seventeenth century to the
present. Chapters include historical archeology (forts, farms,
potters, Shakers); industrial archeology (mills, factories,
railroads, dams, and bridges); and nautical archeology (discoveries
in the state's lakes and on the seacoast).
In addition to summarizing some of the more interesting finds,
Starbuck includes stories about archeologists and the techniques
they have used to glean information from the past. Overall, he
provides a lively account of what it is like to practice archeology
in a small but dynamic New England state.
