This law school casebook focuses on the advantages and difficulties involved in decentralizing power to cities (the city-state and city-federal relationships), the city-suburb divide (including the topics of sprawl and regionalism), and the structure of city government itself (issues like taxation, service delivery, and voting). The casebook combines case law with extensive excerpts from the urban studies literature, including history, political science, sociology, and planning. The new edition will update existing topics and will add material on important new issues, most notably immigration. It will also include, for the first time, readings on comparative and international local government law.

Scripting languages have taken over from object-oriented languages as flavour of the decade, mainly because of the power and flexibility they provide (even for non-expert programmers) for developing graphical user interfaces. Scripting languages are the basis of technologies on the World Wide Web, and office software suites such as Microsoft Office also rely heavily on them. This is the first book to survey a variety of the most important scripting languages, illustrating their use in a wide variety of application domains. Suitable for Computer Science students taking courses on Scripting Languages, or Programming Language survey courses that emphasise Scripting languages. In addition, programmers and software engineers wishing to broaden their experience of modern programming languages, and techniques for user interface design.

In light of growing discourse on 'frugal innovation', this book offers novel approaches to innovation based on extensive empirical research. The study complements a decade of scholarly attention on frugal innovation by taking a research-based approach to innovation in resource-scarce and complex institutional contexts. The findings suggest that concepts such as frugal, reverse, jugaad, social, grassroots and inclusive innovation in fact represent heterogeneous assemblies of innovation for social, environmental and economic value. The conceptual framework invites attention to more plural sources and elements in the study of models of innovation to inspire further research in the fields of strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, economic sociology and development studies. The design framework offers models, metrics and competencies for practitioners and policymakers to identify, evaluate and design frugal innovations. The comprehensive view of frugal innovation demonstrates how firms can implement globally competitive strategies by pursuing innovation for humanity to improve lives for everyone, everywhere.

Local Government Law, Cases and Materials, 6th (American Casebook Series)

The 12th edition of this comprehensive casebook draws both from its history and current debates to create a lively and rich set of materials appropriate for introductory as well as advanced courses. In addition, the new edition of the casebook offers a leaner presentation of many topics and more cues for helping students process the materials. With two new editors, this latest edition offers major changes including: 
<ul>
<li>new substantial chapter on legislative process and statutory interpretation (opening and closing with problems rather than judicial opinions) so that the casebook can be used for an introductory legislation and regulation course</li>
<li>new introductory case study on the Department of Transportation's regulation of commercial airlines' tarmac delays</li>
<li>new streamlined chapter that combines separate previous chapters on adjudication and due process</li>
<li>new cases throughout that are more accessible and engaging for students</li>
<li>more primary materials outside of judicial decisions (including statutes, administrative materials, and complaints)</li>
<li>discussion of President Trump's Administration in many areas (including presidential power, rulemaking, and transparency)</li>
<li>streamlining of notes, with more emphasis on strategic choices by agencies and challengers to agency action, across all three branches</li>
</ul>
 The new edition retains the casebook's classic cases and commentary as well as its modular approach―allowing instructors to choose the order of topics. Although there is considerable new material, the casebook's arrangement remains stable, facilitating continued use by those who have adopted the 11th edition. Going forward, the casebook will be updated at least annually through a free on-line supplement for students.

The 13th edition of this comprehensive casebook draws from its history and current debates to create a lively and rich set of materials appropriate for introductory as well as advanced courses. It contains a substantial chapter on legislative process and statutory interpretation so that the casebook can be used for an introductory legislation and regulation course as well as for administrative law classes.\nWith one new editor (Eloise Pasachoff, Georgetown University), this latest edition makes a number of changes: 
Pares down existing material from the current edition and supplement, with shorter excerpts and consolidated notes throughout. Includes the latest administrative law decisions from the Supreme Court, often as lead cases, such as West Virginia v. EPA, United States v. Arthrex, Seila Law v. CFPB, FCC v. Prometheus Radio, Wooden v. United States, Concepcion v. United States, Carr v. Saul, TransUnion v. Ramirez, and more. Includes relevant new cases from the courts of appeals and district courts, addressing topics such as the constitutionality of SEC ALJ adjudications, decisionmaker bias, length of comment periods, application of Kisor v. Wilkie, Chevron waiver, and more. Replaces some teaching cases with material that is more accessible to students, including a new case for “logical outgrowth” and new materials on exceptions to notice-and-comment rulemaking. Updates transparency materials to cover the latest Supreme Court decisions on FOIA exemptions, address current events and disputes (including over the Presidential Records Act and various privileges), and show how the mandates from the 2016 FOIA Amendments have been litigated. Discusses the end of the Trump Administration and first 20 months of the Biden Administration, including firings or forced resignations of agency leaders, reversals in presidential directives and agency policies, rulemaking trends, the COVID-19 pandemic, and more. Adds new material on public administration and budgeting. Updates factual, legal, and policy materials throughout the book, with a focus on current issues and examples that appeal to students. 
The casebook continues to incorporate primary materials outside of judicial decisions (including statutes, administrative materials, IG and GAO reports, and proposed legislation). It also uses a wide range of secondary materials, from law review articles (classic and recent) to social science studies to think tank reports. And it considers strategic choices by agencies and challengers to agency action, not only in the courts but also in the White House and Congress.\nThe new edition retains many of the casebook's classic cases and commentary as well as its modular approach, allowing instructors to choose the order of topics. Although there is considerable new material, the casebook's arrangement remains stable, facilitating continued use by those who have adopted the 12th edition.\nAs occurred with the prior edition, the casebook will be updated annually through a free online supplement for students.
