      Developments in methodologies, agglomeration, and a range of applied issues have characterized recent advances in regional and urban studies. Volume 5 concentrates on these developments while treating traditional subjects such as housing, the costs and benefits of cities, and policy issues beyond regional inequalities. Contributors make a habit of combining theory and empirics in each chapter, guiding research amid a trend in applied economics towards structural and quasi-experimental approaches. Clearly distinguished from the New Economic Geography covered by Volume 4, these articles feature an international approach that positions recent advances within the discipline of economics and society at large.

      Depuis 25 ans, l'Atlas d'anatomie humaine Netter est l'atlas de référence internationale. Le succès de cet ouvrage réside dans la qualité et la beauté du travail du Dr Netter. D'une part, dans la très grande qualité iconographique, scientifique et pédagogique des quelque 900 illustrations et, d'autre part, dans le choix des coupes anatomiques qui rendent compte du point de vue du clinicien. De plus, le choix des couleurs, l'utilisation de la terminologie anatomique internationale, l'illustration par de nombreux clichés d'imagerie moderne (TDM et IRM) ainsi que des commentaires didactiques facilitent la compréhension et la mémorisation de l'anatomie humaine. L'ouvrage est divisé en huit sections, qui font chacune le tour complet d'une grande région anatomique. Cette 6e édition, entièrement révisée, s'enrichit d'une vingtaine de nouvelles planches d'anatomie et d'imagerie et plus de la moitié des planches ont été révisées (légendes, dessins). À la fin de chaque section, un tableau récapitulatif des muscles donne pour chacun d'eux : le détail de son attache proximale et distale, son innervation, ses principales actions, sa vascularisation artérielle ainsi que son appartenance aux groupes musculaires. Outre les compléments en ligne français – planches à légender, QCM avec réponses commentées ainsi que 100 cas cliniques QCM – cette nouvelle édition offre également l'accès à l'ensemble des compléments en ligne américains via le site Student Consult – tridimensionnels (3D), vidéos de dissections, planches de dissections commentées ainsi que 54 planches supplémentaires. L'Atlas d'anatomie humaine Netter est l'ouvrage de référence indispensable à tous les étudiants en médecine ; il les accompagnera durant toutes leurs études.

      Children Learn by Observing and Contributing to Family and Community Endeavors, the latest in the Advances in Child Development and Behavior Series provides a major step forward in highlighting patterns and variability in the normative development of the everyday lives of children, expanding beyond the usual research populations that have extensive Western schooling in common. The book documents the organization of children’s learning and social lives, especially among children whose families have historical roots in the Americas (North, Central, and South), where children traditionally are included and contribute to the activities of their families and communities, and where Western schooling is a recent foreign influence. The findings and theoretical arguments highlight a coherent picture of the importance of the development of children’s participation in ongoing activity as presented by authors with extensive experience living and working in such communities.
