Data Analysis in Vegetation Ecology

Evolving from years of teaching experience by one of the top experts in vegetation ecology, Data Analysis in Vegetation Ecology aims to explain the background and basics of mathematical (mainly multivariate) analysis of vegetation data. 
The book lays out the basic operations involved in the analysis, the underlying hypotheses, aims and points of views. It conveys the message that each step in the calculations has a specific, straightforward meaning and that patterns and processes known by ecologists often find their counterpart in mathematical operations and functions. The first chapters introduce the elementary concepts and operations and relate them to real-world phenomena and problems. Later chapters concentrate on combinations of methods to reveal surprising features in data sets. Showing how to find patterns in time series, how to generate simple dynamic models, how to reveal spatial patterns and related occurrence probability maps.

Corporate Responsibility (CR) has never been more prominent on the corporate agenda. More companies are coming to understand that it is in their economic interest to address social and environmental impacts in a manner that is integrated with their operations. CR encompasses issues such as sustainability (meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs), stakeholder management, and corporate governance, as well as corporate philanthropy. 
Mainstreaming Corporate Responsibility takes an innovative approach to CSR. Based around case studies commissioned by EABIS, the book is structured around major subject areas in the business school curriculum. It provides a chapter on the relevance of CR to each subject area and identify CR issues to be addressed.
