In the wake of the so-called digital revolution numerous attempts have been made to rethink and redesign what scholarly publications can or should be. Beyond the Flow examines the technologies as well as narratives driving this unfolding transformation. However, facing challenges such as the serial crisis, knowledge burying or sudoku research the discourses and practices of scholarly publishing today are mainly shaped by confusion, heterogeneity and uncertainty. By critically interrogating the current state of digital publishing in academia the book asks for how a sustainable post-digital publishing ecology can be imagined.

Compared with other industries, scientific publishing has a centuries-old tradition. However, it is currently the development of digital information and communication technologies in probably the biggest upheaval since the invention of the printing press. Björn Ortelbach deals with the impact of technological development in the scientific publishing industry from a business point of view. In the first part of the book he analyzes how value added cost structures and business models of publishers change. The second part of the book deals with the impact of these changes on the control of these companies. Based on the previously worked out specifics of the industry design proposals for the use of controlling mechanisms are developed. Im Vergleich mit anderen Wirtschaftszweigen kann die wissenschaftliche Verlagsbranche auf eine mehrere Jahrhunderte alte Tradition zurückblicken. Jedoch befindet sie sich gegenwärtig durch die Entwicklung digitaler Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien im wohl größten Umbruch seit der Erfindung des Buchdrucks. Björn Ortelbach befasst sich mit den Auswirkungen der technologischen Entwicklung auf die wissenschaftliche Verlagsbranche aus betriebswirtschaftlicher Sicht. Im ersten Teil des Buches wird analysiert, wie sich Wertschöpfung, Kostenstrukturen und Geschäftsmodelle von Verlagen wandeln. Der zweite Teil des Buchs befasst sich mit den Auswirkungen dieser Veränderungen auf die Steuerung dieser Unternehmen. Auf Basis der zuvor herausgearbeiteten Spezifika der Branche werden Gestaltungsvorschläge für den Einsatz von Controllinginstrumenten entwickelt.

En entrant dans l'ère de l'informatique en réseau, le livre devient inscriptible. Son développement ne suit plus la ligne droite de la traditionnelle chaîne du livre, mais se diffuse par ramifications réticulaires. Comme un oignon, il se pare de multiples couches d'informations, ajoutées par différents métiers, mais aussi par les lecteurs. Ensemble, ils participent à une vaste entreprise d'enrichissement documentaire qui multiplie les grilles de lecture du texte et en fait miroiter les multiples sens. Inscriptible, le livre s'insère désormais dans un système d'information riche, polymorphe, mouvant et encore très fragile. C'est le Read/Write Book.

Climatology, the study of climate, is no longer regarded as a single discipline that treats climate as something that fluctuates only within the unchanging boundaries described by historical statistics. The field has recognized that climate is something that changes continually under the influence of physical and biological forces and so, cannot be understood in isolation but rather, is one that includes diverse scientific disciplines that play their role in understanding a highly complex coupled "whole system" that is the earth's climate. The modern era of climatology is echoed in this book. On the one hand it offers a broad synoptic perspective but also considers the regional standpoint, as it is this that affects what people need from climatology. Aspects on the topic of climate change - what is often considered a contradiction in terms - is also addressed. It is all too evident these days that what recent work in climatology has revealed carries profound implications for economic and social policy; it is with these in mind that the final chapters consider acumens as to the application of what has been learned to date.
