Registration - How Location Helps Strike the Right
Balance for Retailers

use those tidbits of information you may leave on their websites, such
as a ZIP Code or your age range? This article from Nielsen Claritas
explains how with just a bit of information, offered in response to a
fair trade, retailers can understand and serve their online and
off-line visitors better.

Urban
Regions: Ecology and Planning Beyond the City
With
land planning, socioeconomics and natural systems as foundations, this
book combines urban planning and ecological science in examining urban
regions. Writing for graduate students, academic researchers,
planners,
conservationists and policy makers, and with the use of informative
urban-region color maps, Richard Forman analyzes 38 urban regions from
32 nations, including London, Chicago, Ottawa, Brasilia, Cairo, Seoul,
Bangkok, Canberra, and a major case study of the Greater Barcelona
region. Alternative patterns of urbanization spread (including sprawl)
are evaluated from the perspective of nature and people, stating
land-use principles extracted from landscape ecology, transportation
and hydrology. Good, bad and interesting spatial patterns for creating
sustainable land mosaics are pinpointed, and urban regions are
considered in broader contexts, from climate change to biodiversity
loss, disasters and sense of place. From Cambridge University Press,
2008.
Large-Scale
Disasters: Prediction, Control, and Mitigation
"Extreme"
events - including climatic events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes and
drought - can cause massive disruption to society, including large
death tolls and property damage in the billions of dollars. Events in
recent years have shown the importance of being prepared and that
countries need to work together to help alleviate the resulting pain
and suffering. This volume presents a review of the broad research
field of large-scale disasters. It establishes a common framework for
predicting, controlling and managing both manmade and natural
disasters. There is a particular focus on events caused by weather and
climate change. Other topics include air pollution, tsunamis, disaster
modeling, the use of remote sensing and the logistics of disaster
management. From Cambridge University Press, 2008.
Healthcare
Information Systems and Informatics: Research and Practices
Healthcare Information Systems and Informatics: Research and
Practices
compiles estimable knowledge on the research of information systems
and
informatics applications in the healthcare industry. This book
addresses organizational issues, including technology adoption,
diffusion and acceptance, as well as cost benefits and cost
effectiveness, of advancing health information systems and informatics
applications as innovative forms of investment in healthcare. Rapidly
changing technology and the complexity of its applications make this
book an invaluable resource to researchers and practitioners in the
healthcare fields. From IGI Global, 2008.
