The Night Road

"In the 21st century, climate change will be the biggest differentiator between the haves and have-nots. As some of our lands become uninhabitable, the key to determining who will thrive and who will merely survive will be how prepared our communities areto make the tough choices. Only by working regionally will we be able to answer the tough questions: who will be forced to relocate, where they will go, and what will happen to communities receiving new neighbors to an often already-taxed infrastructure. "Shaping Holland" dives straight into those complexities to create a thoughtful approach to address how future generations can adapt to a wetter, dryer, hotter and colder environment."
- Amy Chester, Managing Director, Rebuild by Design
"This richly illustrated book brings together a highly competent and experienced group of contributors including scholars, researchers, consultants and practitioners to provide a diverse set of insights into the Dutch renowned experimentations with regional spatial planning and design, using South Randstad as a high profile example. The book draws on wide range of approaches to the concept of ‘regional design’ and goes beyond the conventional understanding of ‘the region’ as a bounded spatial scale, and ‘design’ as an outcome. The book is an excellent example of how a productive link can be forged between visual and textual narratives, and how synergies can be generated from multiple ways of knowing and articulating socio-spatial relations."


- Professor Simin Davoudi, Director of Global Urban Research Unit, School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, Co-Director of Centre for Researching Cities, Newcastle University, UK 


"This book reports on regional designs that were undertaken in Holland over the past 20 years from different perspectives: from the point of view of the practice of regional design, using illustrations of numerous practical design projects, through the lenses of the intellectual endeavors of the sciences that engaged in concept and theory formation, and last but not least, from the perspective of personal experience of responsible politicians, top policy makers, a planning director as well as an academic researcher, a planning advisor, and a professor in the planning sciences.
The result is a diverse, animated and informative compendium that can be read with different intentions and intensities. After a general introduction to the performance and position in-between central government and municipalities of Dutch regional design, it provides six thematic chapters – titled Coast, Urban Growth, Landscape, Corridors, Regional Transit-Oriented Development, and Beyond the Port – and also briefly presents the most important "lessons" that one should take away from reading the individual chapters.
This book could only be written in The Netherlands, building on an early planning culture that is still powerful today and which can ultimately be traced back to the centuries-old compulsion to control water.
Regional design, as it is presented here, differs fundamentally from the making of plans which determine future development in a binding way. Regional design aims to identify the spatial implications of future socio-economic and technical problems, and to fathom and visualize spatial strategies for overcoming them. Regional design forms a basis for discussion in professional and political arenas. Regional design tells vivid stories, e.g. about the layering of the earth, about landscape-architectural characteristics, about the often conflicting interests that affect landscapes, about new economic and old natural cycles - always with the aim of composing a vivid and attractive image from the "stories," one that stimulates and inspires the imagination.
Particularly beautiful examples are the "Sand engine," which uses characteristics of natural flows to stabilize and expand the beaches, the synopsis of the port industry and the glass house industry and the new development spaces that are opened up by this merging. And last but not least, the conception of a new type of "Parkstad" (Park City) that emerges from the permeation of urban development and agricultural production. I feel this tension between rational analysis and the creative invention of new spaces of possibility as a particularly valuable contribution of the Dutch variety of regional design.
What could this book mean for the spatial planning debate in Germany? It could provide vital inspiration for releasing regional planning from its bureaucratic constrictions and for the development of a more creative regional planning approach. Everyday life has long ago exceeded the boundaries of the municipality and takes place in the region. Climate change, resource preservation and the circular economy call for a synopsis on a regional scale!"

&#8220;If Gillian Flynn decided to write a YA novel, it might go something like this...Cavallaro and Henry write with sharp, crisp voices, imbuing their heroines with wit and outsized imagination. They capture the idiosyncrasies of young female friendship with startling acuity... A novel that taps into something elemental about the ferocity of female adolescence... a page-turning tale with a potent electric current at its heart.&#8221;

Species Problems and Beyond offers a collection of up-to-date essays discussing from an interdisciplinary perspective the many ramifications of the ‘Species Problem.’ The authors represent experts in the philosophy of biology, in species-level evolutionary investigations, and in biodiversity studies and conservation. Some of the topics addressed concern the context sensitivity of the term ‘species’; species as individuals, processes, natural kinds, or as ‘operative concepts’; species delimitation in the age of Big (genomic) Data; and taxonomic inflation and its consequences for conservation strategies. The carefully edited volume will be an invaluable resource for philosophers of biology and evolutionary biologists alike. 
-- Olivier Rieppel, Rowe Family Curator of Evolutionary Biology, Negaunee Integrative Research Center, Field Museum, USA

The idea of species, and the things in nature we call species, are foundational concepts in ecology and evolutionary biology, and central to our understanding of the natural world and how it is organized. This book brings philosophers and biologists together to drill down on the nature of species. It demonstrates that the problem of species, and its role in biological theory and practice, is more complex than most biologists realize, and it also highlights the spectrum of insights, and differences, that philosophers bring to this problem. It articulates new perspectives for both disciplines.

Gina Vega has responded quickly to contemporary changes and demands, updating the book to consider the exponential worldwide rise in online delivery and addressing the market appetite for shorter, concise cases.　Whilst the book remains the best comprehensive resource for instructors new to teaching with cases, it also provides ongoing value to established case teachers who are looking for immediate solutions and guidance in improving their classroom engagement."　— Rob Edwards, Publisher, International Journal of Instructional Cases, Series Co-Editor for International Casebooks of Business and Management
"I find the Case Writing Workbook 3e to be a handy reference guide with numerous insider tips, including for the increasingly popular compact cases. This new version can also be assigned as a text for students who are field researching and writing a business case in an experiential course. It walks them through each step in the process." — Laurie Levesque, Ph.D., Associate Professor of ManagementProgram Director, Master in Management and Organizational Leadership, Sawyer Business School, Suffolk University, Boston, Massachusetts
"The Case Writing Workbook is the "bible" of case writing.　　Anyone wanting to become proficient in the art of case writing should use this book to start that journey.　　And for veteran case writers, it’s always a good idea to go back and review skills.
