Book Description
Written by leading authorities from Australasia, Europe and North America, this book examines the dynamic conflicts and synergies between nature conservation and human development in contemporary Cambodia. After suffering conflict and stagnation in the late twentieth century, Cambodia has experienced an economic transformation in the last decade, with growth averaging almost ten per cent per year, partly through investment from China. However this rush for development has been coupled with tremendous social and environmental change which, although positive in some aspects, has led to rising inequality and profound shifts in the condition, ownership and management of natural resources. High deforestation rates, declining fish stocks, biodiversity loss, and alienation of indigenous and rural people from their land and traditional livelihoods are now matters of increasing local and international concern. The book explores the social and political dimensions of these environmental changes in Cambodia, and of efforts to intervene in and ‘improve’ current trajectories for conservation and development. It provides a compelling analysis of the connections between nature, state and society, pointing to the key role of grassroots and non-state actors in shaping Cambodia’s frontiers of change. These insights will be of great interest to scholars of Southeast Asia and environment-development issues in general.

Book Description
Researchers, corporate leaders, and other stakeholders have shown increasing interest in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)—a company’s discretionary actions and policies that appear to advance societal well-being beyond its immediate financial interests and legal requirements. Spanning decades of research activity, the scholarly literature on CSR has been dominated by meso- and macro-level perspectives, such as studies within corporate strategy that examine relationships between firm-level indicators of social/environmental performance and corporate financial performance. In recent years, however, there has been an explosion of micro-oriented CSR research conducted at the individual-level of analysis, especially with respect to studies on how and why job seekers and employees perceive and react to CSR practices. This micro-level focus is reflected in 12 articles published in this edited volume as a research topic collection in Frontiers in Psychology (Organizational Psychology Specialty Section) titled “Corporate social responsibility and organizational psychology: Quid pro quo.”

Book Description
In today’s $75 trillion global knowledge economy, the world's 17 million faculty members, academic researchers, and scientists who are creating new knowledge capital and safeguarding existing knowledge should be rich and in control! Are you an academic striving for adequate rewards for your invaluable contributions to the global knowledge economy? Do you search for ways to navigate the intricate landscape of intellectual property rights and safeguard your innovative ideas? "Knowledge Sentinels" is here to empower you! The concept of “Knowledge Sentinels” stems from the author's long experience with the exigent challenges faced by academics. The motivation behind this guide is to elucidate the multifaceted factors that underpin this inequity and foster an intellectually rigorous discourse on the value of intellectual property and its custodians in academia. The book’s Introduction seeks to establish the foundational premise of our inquiry. Drawing from realistic case studies and analysis of emerging technology trends, the book provides a guide to applied intellectual property management in higher education and research institutions. The author proposes a novel framework for IP rights management in academic institutions. MERC stands for Manage, Evaluate, Regulate, Capitalise, which are the four procedural work frames that any research group, R&D service company, or academic institution needs to grow their knowledge capital. Chapter 1, "Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in Academia" covers types of IP, common terms, joint ownership, copyright, trademarks, patents, and trade secrets. It emphasizes managing and protecting original works, fostering academic branding, and preserving research innovations. The chapter highlights the importance of well-defined agreements, confidentiality, and equitable rights distribution. Chapter 2, "Trademarks and Branding for Academics" explores the significance of academic trademarks and branding. It covers various academic trademark types and their role in safeguarding knowledge. Branding's impact on disseminating knowledge, establishing trust, and forging partnerships is examined, alongside case studies including MIT, Cambridge, and NUS, showcasing successful academic branding strategies. It also delves into brand-building processes, spotlighting Tohoku University's disaster research and SNU's convergence of technology and humanities excellence. Chapter 3, "Copyright Protection and Academic Works" critically discusses copyright aspects in academia, covering ownership within institutions, challenges faced, Open Access and Creative Commons models, balancing copyright with fair use, global copyright factors, and safeguarding academic works online. Chapter 4 delves into the effective management and utilization of collaborative intellectual property in academia. It explores key frameworks like the Bayh-Dole Act and Technology Readiness Level, along with processes such as Technology Transfer Office Workflow, AUTM Technology Transfer, and the author's MERC Workflow. MERC stands for Manage, Evaluate, Regulate, and Capitalise and it is a procedural workflow developed by the author to manage collaborative innovation and IP rights, particularly during the early stages of academic R&D. In Chapter 5, the book unveils "Model Operating Procedures for the MERC Workflow in higher education and research institutions." By leveraging empirical insights from prominent universities and research centers, the author outlines an evidence-based blueprint to streamline intellectual property management within institutions. Through rigorous analysis, we demonstrate how effective management protocols can mitigate disputes and foster an environment conducive to fruitful academic endeavors.

Book Description
This book introduces non-specialist readers to the history of how human societies have sought to control, use and exploit our oceans, seas and shorelines over time in different geographical and cultural contexts. The Unruly Ocean examines the development of the modern international legal regime – the law of the sea, maritime law, marine environmental and pollution law, fisheries regulation, and underwater cultural heritage law – and considers how effective these laws have been in addressing the many challenges facing marine and coastal environments ranging from piracy and war to oil spills and the extraction of marine resources. It concludes by discussing the socio-ecological crises facing the world’s oceans, seas and shorelines, and explores current ideas for reimagining a legal regime that restores the health of our oceanic realm and offers a more holistic, transboundary, rights-based approach to ocean governance. This book will be of value to law and non-law undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as research scholars and other educated audiences interested in a legal history of the world’s oceans, seas and shorelines.

Book Description
A Cultural History of Plants in the Modern Era covers the period from 1920 to today - a time when population growth, industrialization, global trade, and consumerism have fundamentally reshaped our relationship with plants. Advances in agriculture, science, and technology have revolutionised the ways we feed ourselves, whilst urbanization and industrial processing have reduced our direct connection with living plants. At the same time, our understanding of both ecology and conservation have greatly increased and our appreciation of the meanings and aesthetics of plants continue to suffuse art and everyday culture. The modern era has witnessed a revolution in both the valuation and the destruction of the natural world - more than ever before, we understand that the vitality of our relationship with plants will shape our future. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Plants presents the first comprehensive history of the uses and meanings of plants from prehistory to today. The themes covered in each volume are plants as staple foods; plants as luxury foods; trade and exploration; plant technology and science; plants and medicine; plants in culture; plants as natural ornaments; the representation of plants. Stephen Forbes is an independent scholar and writer, based in Australia. Volume 6 in the Cultural History of Plants set. General Editors: Annette Giesecke, University of Delaware, USA, and David Mabberley, University of Oxford, UK.
