Book
Ownership, Leadership and Transformation
The third and final in a series, this text bridges the conceptual foundations of capacity development and the difficulties and practical realities in the field. It demystifies the process of capacity development to make it more user-friendly. The book has two parts. The first shows how long-standing development dilemmas can be turned into opportunities for capacity development and societal transformation. It proposes a set of principles to guide the search for context-specific approaches as the norm, and based on these default principles the authors explore relevant issues in comprehensible stages through a capacity lens. The second part is a compilation of experiences and lessons from around the world, to showcase promising initiatives and innovative solutions. It forms a casebook of insights and good (rather than best) practices on how development stakeholders can turn development dilemmas into opportunities tailored to the needs of their societies.

Spectrum sensing techniques and applications
This deals with several subjects that range from Statistical and Probability Theory to Radio Propagation and Signal Processing, and cognitive radio is important to the evolution and dissemination of new applications on spectrum sensing. The objective of this book is to present a connection among basic statistical formulation, the fundamental concepts from signal detection and spectrum sensing, and its integration to cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access, filling in the gaps from previous books and leading to an interesting, robust, and illustrative content, with recent practical applications of cognitive radio and spectrum sensing. Recent applications based on spectrum sensing are presented including some fundamental distribution probabilities for the mathematical presentation of spectrum sensing theory, and examples, illustrations, and graphics help the reader understand the theory.

Uncertain Worlds
Uncertain Worlds is the definitive presentation of the evolution of world-systems analysis from the point of view of its founder, Immanuel Wallerstein. Few theorists have offered a more systematic theory of what has become known as 'globalisation' than Wallerstein. The book includes a one-of-kind interview with Wallerstein by Carlos Rojas, a conversation between Wallerstein and Lemert about the history of the field as it has come down to the present time, a long essay by Lemert on the uncertainties of the modern world-system, as well as a preface by Rojas and a concluding essay by Wallerstein. No other book lends such biographical, historical, and personal nuance to the biography of world-systems analysis and, thus, to the history of our times. The will be a key reference book for students of global politics, economics and international relations.
