"Genetics and the Behavior of Domestic Animals, Third Edition offers the latest and most valuable information on animal science and behavioral genetics, carrying on the book's legacy since its original publication in 1998. This book synthesizes research from behavioral genetics and animal and veterinary science, bridging the gap between these fields. The objective is to show that principles of behavioral genetics have practical applications to agricultural and companion animals. The continuing domestication of animals is a complex process, the myriad impacts of which on animal behavior are commonly under-appreciated. Genetic factors play a significant role in both species-specific behaviors and behavioral differences exhibited by individuals in the same species. Leading authorities explore the impact of increased intensities of selection on domestic animal behavior."--Page 4 of cover.

In the Middle East, perhaps more than elsewhere, architectures and spaces have long been marked by the past. However, contrary to appearances, they are transformed at various rates, preserving visible vestiges of old states, while new functions are installed in the old spaces that have hardly been modified, or in new architectures, without profoundly modifying the structure. order of the whole. These movements of adaptation are possible because the city is a combination of spatial, political, economic, social, community, family systems, which are characterized by a very strong coherence in a period of time and in a space: each one can evolve without affect others immediately, so without risk of acute and generalized crisis, but each one must sooner or later have an effect on the others. The Suwayqat 'Alī, the evolution of which we are studying, is one of the most important axes in the city over a very long period of time. It is a set of elements that are organized on either side of a main access route to the centre from a gate of the enclosure, Bāb al-Naṣr, over time, the limits of closed quarters are gradually pushed back by the development of public, princely or notable spaces, then by commercial space. The first part of the study is devoted to spatial and architectural analysis: general topography, access and circulation systems, water, monuments. The second, more historical part deals with the evolution of space through a certain number of functions which combine, juxtapose, succeed or exclude each other in the structuring of the district: power and religion; the residential function, notables, large families and their networks; trade and specialized economic activities, the souk. The conclusion is a synthesis on the mechanisms which, in the interaction of the socio-political and economic systems with the spatial forms, allow the changes to be inscribed in a continuity.

In recent decades, the financial markets have experienced various crises, shocks and disruptive events, driving high levels of volatility. This volatility is too strong to be fully justified simply by changes in fundamentals. This volume discusses these highly relevant issues with special focus on asset pricing and behavioral finance. Financial price assets of the 2020s appear to be driven by various attractors in addition to fundamentals, and there is no doubt that investor emotions, market sentiment, the news, and external factors such as uncertainty all play a key role. This has been clearly observed in recent years, especially during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has changed the common perception of the way financial markets work.

Is the world en route to becoming a linguistic colony of the United States? Or is this dramatic view an exaggeration, and there is no danger to linguistic diversity at all? The German language is at the center of an intensive debate on this issue. Its position in the world is under increasing pressure due to the growing importance of (American) English as the language of globalization. The articles in this volume deal with the national and international position of German in relation to English, language policies, the future of German as a language of science, German in the USA, and the intellectual and aesthetic dimensions of encountering a foreign language. They present critical assessments addressing the dangers for the future of languages other than English, as well as positions which perceive the growing importance of English as a challenge and resource rather than as a threat.
