The formation of patterns in subaqueous sediment
This book investigates the formation of subaqueous patterns by means of high-fidelity numerical simulations which resolve all the relevant scales of the flow and the sediment bed. This is required to provide a space- and time-resolved information on the flow field and the sediment bed. Secondly, detailed analysis of the generated data allows to address the different governing mechanisms involve…

The Case for Case Studies: Methods and Applications in International Development
Buku ini berusaha mempersempit dua celah: pertama, antara meluasnya penggunaan studi kasus dan tambatan metodologisnya yang sering "lepas"; dan kedua, antara komunitas ilmiah yang memajukan batas metodologis dalam penelitian studi kasus dan pengguna studi kasus dalam kebijakan dan praktik pembangunan. Ini mengacu pada pengalaman kolektif kontributor di perhubungan ini, tetapi masalah yang menda…

Speaking Power to Truth Digital Discourse and the Public Intellectual
Casting doubt on the assertion that online discourse, with its proliferation of voices, will somehow yield collective wisdom, Speaking Power to Truth raises concerns that this wealth of digitally enabled commentary is, in fact, too often bereft of the hallmarks of intellectual discourse: an epistemological framework and the provision of evidence to substantiate claims. Instead, the pursuit of t…
