"… provides an excellent overview of recent research advances using materials and systems for energy harvesting. … begins with a well-written review on the present approaches and circuit designs for energy harvesting, storage, and use. … There are many examples of functional devices with application data, graphs, and engineering equations to help the reader develop his own energy-harvesting device. … engineers interested in developing new sensors, communication links, and low-power electronic devices, and students in mechanical, electrical, and materials science, would find this book a great way to learn quickly about energy-harvesting technology and a starting point for developing new ideas."—John J. Shea, Eaton Corporation, Moon Township, Pennsylvania, USA, from IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, May/June 2015
"Featuring contributions from international researchers in both academics and industry, Energy Harvesting with Functional Materials and Microsystems explains the growing field of energy harvesting from a materials and device perspective, with resulting technologies capable of enabling low-power implantable sensors or a large-scale electrical grid."—IEEE Microwave Magazine, June 2014

Chris Gold has devoted much of his research career to techniques of spatial analysis. In this new book many of his most important contributions are assembled in one place for the first time, along with related material, and covering applications that range across the environmental and social sciences. The book will be of great interest to researchers from across those disciplines, as well as to specialists in computer graphics, computational geometry, photogrammetry, cartography, and remote sensing.Unlike many competing books, the author of this one has chosen to present algorithms descriptively, rather than in code or pseudocode. This makes the book eminently readable, but perhaps of most interest to those who are able to turn the descriptions into code, or to value them as insights into what goes on under the hood of geographic information technologies. The text is very well illustrated with black-and-white diagrams, and mathematical notation is clear and easy to follow.Spatial context is a concept of great interest to social scientists as they try to understand how behavior is determined by an individual's surroundings. Obesity, drug use, housing segregation, and many other aspects of human behavior depend to some degree on the environment in which the individual lives, and yet much previous research has failed to find accurate ways of capturing spatial context. An individual's ZIP code, for example, is often taken as a convenient but necessarily inacccurate basis for estimating the spatial factors that influence behavior. This book will be helpful to researchers interested in finding better solutions to the problem of characterizing spatial context.Mike Goodchild, Emeritus Professor and&nbsp;Research Professor&nbsp;of Geography at the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA.&nbsp;The author of the present book is a well-known expert in this eld. His book starts with a presentation of useful g

"This important book is relevant for understanding any intervention which explicitly or implicitly seeks to change parenting practice, and to inform debate about the desirability of such change.&#8212;The Parenting Forum"...a splendored tapestry of a book, weaving together, among other things, a critique of Western individualism and discussion of intervention to aid non-Western poor, including her own work on mother empowerment in Istanbul."&#8212;Contemporary Psychology"...an extraordinary and very ambitious undertaking that goes far beyond the main title's suggestion...a very valuable contribution to many ongoing discussions in the interdisciplinary field of cultural research."&#8212;International Journal of Behavioral Development"Kagit&#231;ibasi writes in a style which includes reference to personal experiences in Euro-American settings during her own education and psychological practice, which brings to immediate life the realities of culture-based models of normative behaviour. This increases the accessibility of her wide-ranging text as she weaves her themes of contextual-developmental-functional thinking of children, families and communities embedded in cultural contexts....In seeking a model to understanding the systematic relationships between individuals and communities, community psychologists might productively explore the outer layers of the Russian doll set within which psychology is itself systematically nested. Kagit&#231;ibasi's text unpacks some of those layers and illustrates some of the implications for practice."&#8212;Journal of Community and Applied Social Psychology

"Space, Place, and Territory makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the processes of urbanization. It is equally adept in describing the qualities of the built environment as it is the conceptual tools that bring about its transformation."
Mohsen Mostafavi, Dean and Alexander and Victoria Wiley Professor of Design, Harvard Graduate School of Design
"In this book Fabio Duarte makes a novel and important contribution to the understanding of the core concepts of space, place and territory in urban studies. The core problematic USPT addresses is the distinctive uniqueness of each concept whilst simultaneously exploring the complex interdependencies between them. Creatively empirical analyses of sensing, mapping, conceiving and contesting the city USPT builds and populates the metaphor of the spatial matrix - a novel framework for analyzing how society is profoundly shaped by spatial features."Professor Simon Marvin, Director of the Urban Institute University of Sheffield
"Fábio Duarte manages to assemble a very rigorous conceptual discussion about space, place and territory and a rich documentation on very diverse urban settings. Accounting for the urban experience required his careful and engaging attention to words, emotions, and objects in the same move".Dominique Boullier, Digital Humanities institute, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland
