Free Download Navigating Time and Space in Population Studies By Myron P. Gutmann, Glenn D. Deane (auth.), Emily R Merchant, Glenn D Deane, Myron P Gutmann, Kenneth M Sylvester (eds.)
2011 | 245 Pages | ISBN: 9400700679 | PDF | 7 MB
This book presents innovative approaches to long-standing questions about the diffusion of population and demographic behavior across space and over time, adding a spatial dimension to temporal analysis and a temporal element to spatial analysis. The studies collected here utilize newly-available historical data along with spatially and temporally explicit analytical methods to assess and refine core demographic theories and to pose new questions about mortality and fertility transitions, migration, urbanization, and social inequality. Covering a broad range of geographical settings and spanning time periods from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, the book reveals the complexity of factors involved in population processes as they simultaneously spread across space and unfold over time. It also presents a rich set of tools with which to explore, analyze, and test the spatial and temporal dynamics of these phenomena.

The Heart of Innovation A Field Guide for Navigating to Authentic Demand [Audiobook]


Free Download Matt Chanoff Merrick Furst, Daniel Sabbah, Mark Wegman, Arvind Krishna – foreword, Alex Knox (Narrator), "The Heart of Innovation: A Field Guide for Navigating to Authentic Demand"
English | ASIN: B0CQ3QBSDM | 2023 | M4B@64 kbps | ~04:40:00 | 125 MB
Four innovation experts from the startup world, large enterprises, nonprofits, and academia come together to reveal the secret of uncovering authentic demand to build successful innovations.
Books on innovation mostly focus on how to nurture innovative cultures and brainstorm ideas. The Heart of Innovation is the first popular book to concretely delve into what innovations really are and how to create them. Many attempts at innovation fail because customers turn out to be indifferent. The key to success is to uncover unmet authentic demand; what customers cannot be indifferent to. Through fresh case studies, ranging from how SoulCycle revolutionized the fitness industry, to how IBM built an $8 billion business on the Web, to a single mother ending abuse in a slum in Africa, The Heart of Innovation explores how authentic demand is often hidden or taken for granted.
