Inhalt: This book contains all refereed papers accepted during the 14th International Conference on Complex Systems Design & Management CSD&M 2023 that took place in Beijing, People’s Republic of China by the end October 2023. Mastering complex systems requires an integrated understanding of industrial practices as well as sophisticated theoretical techniques and tools. This explains the creation of an annual go-between European and Asian forum dedicated to academic researchers and industrial actors working on complex industrial systems architecting, modeling and engineering. These proceedings cover the most recent trends in the emerging field of complex systems, both from an academic and professional perspective. A special focus was put this year on “New Trends in Complex Systems Engineering.” The CSD&M series of conferences were initiated under the guidance of CESAM Community in Europe, managed by CESAMES. Its Asian version took place in Singapore for three consecutive sessions during 2014 and 2018. The fourth Asian edition was held in Beijing in hybrid with the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics (CSAA) as the co-organizer in 2021. Since 2023, its European and Asian conferences merge into one, taking place in China and Europe in turn. CESAM Community aims in organizing the sharing of good practices in systems architecting and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and certifying the level of knowledge and proficiency in this field through the CESAM certification. The CESAM systems architecting, and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) certification is especially currently the most disseminated professional certification in the world in this domain through more than 3,000 real complex system development projects on which it was operationally deployed and around 10,000 engineers who were trained on the CESAM framework at international level.

Inhalt: " A New York Times Editors' Choice 8226 Named a Fall 2023 Must-Read by Outside, Sierra, and Kirkus Reviews 8226 A Boston Globe Book We're Excited to Read This FallAn eye-opening account of the global ecological transformations wrought by roads, from the award-winning author of Eager.Some 40 million miles of roadways encircle the earth, yet we tend to regard them only as infrastructure for human convenience. While roads are so ubiquitous they're practically invisible to us, wild animals experience them as entirely alien forces of death and disruption. In Crossings, environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb travels throughout the United States and around the world to investigate how roads have transformed our planet. A million animals are killed by cars each day in the U.S. alone, but as the new science of road ecology shows, the harms of highways extend far beyond roadkill. Creatures from antelope to salmon are losing their ability to migrate in search of food and mates,invasive plants hitch rides in tire treads,road salt contaminates lakes and rivers,and the very noise of traffic chases songbirds from vast swaths of habitat. Yet road ecologists are also seeking to blunt the destruction through innovative solutions. Goldfarb meets with conservationists building bridges for California's mountain lions and tunnels for English toads, engineers deconstructing the labyrinth of logging roads that web national forests, animal rehabbers caring for Tasmania's car-orphaned wallabies, and community organizers working to undo the havoc highways have wreaked upon American cities. Today, as our planet's road network continues to grow exponentially, the science of road ecology has become increasingly vital. Written with passion and curiosity, Crossings is a sweeping, spirited, and timely investigation into how humans have altered the natural world8212 and how we can create a better future for all living beings. "

Inhalt: Biographisches: " Ben Goldfarb is the author of Eager: The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter , winner of the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award. His writing has appeared in the Atlantic , National Geographic , the New York Times , and many other publications, and has been anthologized in The Best American Science and Nature Writing . A recipient of fellowships from the Alicia Patterson Foundation and the Whiting Foundation, he lives in Colorado." Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from July 24, 2023 In this captivating outing, science writer Goldfarb ( Eager ) explores the negative impact roads have on wildlife. Discussing the danger vehicle collisions pose to animals, he notes that 10,000 garter snakes were fatally hit in one season in Manitoba and that deer need intervals of approximately a minute or longer between passing cars to safely cross. Other harms are less obvious,the difficulty of traversing roadways leads to genetically inbred clusters (“A flightless European beetle disperses so feebly that biologists once found a genetically distinct population encircled by a highway exit loop”), and noise can disrupt ecological checks and balances (chaffinches in Portugal’s oak woodlands avoid loud streets, “allowing unchecked insects to kill roadside trees”). Profiles of individuals working on mitigation strategies are as enlightening as they are encouraging. Among them, Goldfarb highlights biologist Tony Clevenger’s research confirming the effectiveness of wildlife overpasses for enabling grizzly bear populations in Alberta’s Banff National Park to intermingle and ecologist Sarah Perkins’s efforts with Project Splatter to learn more about animal movement patterns by soliciting civilians to report roadkill. Humor leavens the frequently grim subject matter, as when Goldfarb notes that a plan to reduce Dall sheep’s anxiety around vehicles in Denali National Park “runs 428 turgid pages and reliably cures insomnia.” This one’s a winner. Photos." Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from June 15, 2023 A wide-ranging, fascinating exploration of roads, which are not merely a symptom of civilization but a distinct disease. Goldfarb's follow-up to Eager, his award-winning book on beavers, is another illuminating, witty work. He chronicles his journeys through numerous countries with colleagues to conduct extensive field research and mixes his findings with historical research showing the effects of roads on our ecology. Pavement, he writes, blankets less than 1 percent of the U.S., but its ecological influence covers a full 20 percent. Goldfarb sadly notes that it has never been more dangerous to set paw, hoof, or scaly belly on the highway. With the rise of cars and roads in the 20th century, the degrading word roadkill was born, and the deer became primary victims. The author bemoans how the Interstate Highway System lopped off migration routes as neatly as a guillotine, and roads with more than 10,000 vehicles per day loom as what road ecologists call absolute barriers to most wildlife. The sprawling Los Angeles freeway labyrinth, with its clean as a scalpel east-west habitat fragmentation, has disrupted practically every species, especially the mountain lion. As a result of roadkill, Goldfarb sadly notes, 21 critters, especially reptiles and amphibians, face extinction, and he reveals how the National Forest Service's many roads have become proxy battlegrounds in a cultural war and how they're working to reduce them. Excessive road noise is equally pernicious, as is excessive salt on roads. Not to be overlooked, usually on a car's front, is the ongoing insect liquidation, but many shrubby roadsides have also become insect sanctuaries. The necrobiome, Goldfarb writes, airbrushes our roadsides, camouflaging a crisis by devouring it. Fortunately, in Europe and Canada, recent innovations in under- and overpasses have helped reduce the number of dead animals, and the author is optimistic about the roles of citizen scientists, self-driving cars, and achievements in Brazil, which seem[s] to sit at road ecology's forefront. An astonishingly deep pool of wonders. COPYRIGHT(2023) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. " Rezension(4): "〈a href=https://www.booklistonline.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/booklist_logo.png alt=Booklist border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from September 1, 2023 We take roads for granted, rarely thinking about how profoundly highways and vehicles effect the lives of animals and plants. Goldfarb, whose first revelatory book, Eager: The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter (2018), won the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award, covered many miles to assess the environmental impact of highways, interstates, and roads on public land and now pairs engrossing if unnerving field notes with a fresh and startling history of roads, automobiles, and the carnage and destruction they cause. Goldfarb's tallies of the death tolls on American highways of insects, turtles, birds, mountain lions, and more add up to a major factor in the sixth extinction. Roads also severely disrupt animal migration and fracture habitats, while more insidious woes are caused by road noise and pollution. An astute, funny, and imaginative writer, Goldfarb pairs horror with hope as he chronicles the brilliant innovations and tireless advocacy that resulted in lifesaving wildlife crossings, including park-like overpasses and cozy underpasses. With vibrant and enlightening descriptions of the lives of deer, grizzlies, monarch butterflies, fish, and frogs, and striking insights into the culture and politics of roads, Goldfarb awakens readers to the ecological catastrophes roads cause and what we can do to ameliorate the damage and improve life on Earth.

Serie: The Doomsday Books

Inhalt: " Gothic scandal meets Bridgerton intrigue in this swashbuckling Regency romance from celebrated author KJ Charles. Abandoned by his father, Gareth Inglis grew up lonely, prickly, and well-used to disappointment. Still, he longs for a connection. When he meets a charming stranger, he falls head over heels—until everything goes wrong and he's left alone again. Then Gareth's father dies, turning the shabby London clerk into Sir Gareth, with a grand house on the remote Romney Marsh and a family he doesn't know. The Marsh is another world, a strange, empty place notorious for its ruthless gangs of smugglers. And one of them is dangerously familiar... Joss Doomsday has run the Doomsday smuggling clan since he was a boy. When the new baronet—his old lover—agrees to testify against Joss's sister, Joss acts fast to stop him. Their reunion is anything but happy, yet after the dust settles, neither can stay away. Soon, all Joss and Gareth want is the chance to be together. But the bleak, bare Marsh holds deadly secrets. And when Gareth finds himself threatened from every side, the gentleman and the smuggler must trust one another not just with their hearts, but with their lives. Readers Rave about KJ Charles:KJ Charles is one of the best romance novelists writing today. Historical romance at its finest. —Sarah MacLean , New York Times bestselling author Once again KJ Charles has produced an absolute masterpiece! — Joanna Shupe , USA Today bestselling author A romantic, swashbuckling tale from start to finish.— Manda Collins , Bestselling Author of A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem "

Inhalt: Biographisches: " KJ Charles spent twenty years as an editor in British publishing before fleeing the scene to become a full-time historical romance novelist. She has written over twenty-five novels since then and her books have been translated into eight languages. She lives in London. " Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://lj.libraryjournal.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/libraryjournal_logo.png alt=Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from January 1, 2023 Charles ( Subtle Blood ,A Charm of Magpies series) successfully balances a complicated suspense plot and an emotionally resonant romance. Gareth Inglis has never felt wanted, which causes him to lash out when he feels he might be hurt. After the untimely death of his father and his inheritance of a baronetcy in Kent, he must confront his past, including a former partner he parted with on bad terms. Joss Doomsday thought he'd never see the man he knew as London again after they quarreled the last time they saw each other. When Gareth appears as the heir to a baronetcy in the area, he assumes their paths won't cross, until Gareth spots Joss's sister on a nighttime smuggling run and decides to present evidence, something Joss is determined to stop. A rocky reunion gives way to a lasting connection as Joss and Gareth reunite and discover more about themselves. Charles skillfully sketches the early 19th-century Kentish marshes, allowing readers to understand the geography of the story without overwhelming them. VERDICT This novel launches a delightful new Regency romance series from Charles,readers will be eagerly anticipating the next installment. --Brigid BlackCopyright 2023 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission. " Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from January 23, 2023 Charles (the Will Darling Adventures series) launches the Doomsday Books series with a dark and stunning love story between a smuggler and a newly minted baronet. In the Kentish moors of the early 19th century, smuggling boss Joss Doomsday, head of the formidable Doomsday clan, and Sir Gareth Inglis, whose absent father’s death has lately conferred the baronetcy on him, commence a tumultuous but tender affair while dodging a rival smuggling gang’s hunt for 10,000 guineas owed them by Gareth’s father and navigating a handful of troublesome relatives on both sides. The author’s gift for historical fiction is on clear display, as Romney Marsh, Kent, is vividly evoked with both its scenic landmarks and local fauna (indeed, there are a surprising number of beetles and newts for a romance). Charles does not shy from the darker side of the smuggling business, with beatings and murders featuring heavily in the plot, but the characters grapple with morality in a convincing way through discussions and arguments and fallings-out. The few threads left dangling at the end only whet the appetite for future books. Readers will devour this. Agent: Courtney Miller-Callihan, Handspun Literary. "

Inhalt: " An incisive analysis of how the Supreme Court's new conservative supermajority is overturning decades of law and leading the country in a dangerous political direction. In The Supermajority , Michael Waldman explores the tumultuous 2021173 8211 2022 Supreme Court term. He draws deeply on history to examine other times the Court veered from the popular will, provoking controversy and backlash. And he analyzes the most important new rulings and their implications for the law and for American society. Waldman asks: What can we do when the Supreme Court challenges the country? Over three days in June 2022, the conservative supermajority overturned the constitutional right to abortion, possibly opening the door to reconsider other major privacy rights, as Justice Clarence Thomas urged. The Court sharply limited the authority of the EPA, reducing the prospects for combatting climate change. It radically loosened curbs on guns amid an epidemic of mass shootings. It fully embraced legal theories such as originalism that will affect thousands of cases throughout the country. These major decisions8212 and the next wave to come8212 will have enormous ramifications for every American. It was the most turbulent term in memory8212 with the leak of the opinion overturning Roe v. Wade , the first Black woman justice sworn in, and the justices turning on each other in public, Waldman previews the 20228211 2023 term and how the brewing fights over the Supreme Court and its role that already have begun to reshape politics.The Supermajority is a revelatory examination of the Supreme Court at a time when its dysfunction8212 and the demand for reform8212 are at the center of public debate."

With The Con Queen of Hollywood , award-winning investigative journalist Johnson expands on his Hollywood Reporter story about the con artist who managed to rip off millions of dollars from people in the entertainment industry (100,000-copy first printing). With The Elissas , Leach presents a cautionary tale centering on best friend Elissa, who was thrown out of private school and sent to a $10,000-a-month boarding school for troubled teenagers, where she bonded with classmates named (eerily) Alissa and Alyssa,Elissa died of encephalitis shortly after graduating, and her two friends subsequently succumbed to drug use (60,000-copy first printing). As a girl in the Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, Mahfouz was denied an education but still entertained Defiant Dreams , teaching herself mathematics at age 16 and sneaking into Pakistan to take the SATs,she eventually escaped to the United States and is now a quantum computing researcher at Tufts University. Patterson's Chaos Kings focuses on the Universa fund to illuminate the activities of high-risk traders who go after so-called black swans--unforeseeable upheavals that can yield billions in profits. Having explained in the nearly million-copy best-selling The Color of Law how U.S. federal, state, and local governments have not just facilitated but actively created segregation, Richard Rothstein teams with housing policy expert (and daughter) Leah Rothstein in Just Action to explain how segregation can be dismantled, focusing on what local organizations can do about securing renters' rights, diversifying exclusively white areas, and more. President of the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice at the NYU School of Law, Waldman shows how the U.S. Supreme Court's conservative Supermajority has driven the Court's rulings far from what most people in the country want and what the implications will be.

Board of Education and Miranda v. Arizona , but also exacerbating tensions between the right and the left as the latter became “enamored of litigation as a driver of social change and came to hold the Supreme Court itself in near-religious reverence.” Eventually, Waldman writes, “intense divisions within Congress spread to judicial nominations and came to be the central fact in how American courts were comprised.” Among more recent rulings, Waldman highlights 2010’s Citizens United , which “remade American politics” to give more influence to the wealthy, and Shelby County v. Holder , which significantly weakened the Voting Rights Act. He also delves into the links between the Federalist Society and the three conservative justices appointed by Donald Trump, and takes note of the historical precedents behind the 2022 Dobbs leak, which contributed to a “tense, accusatory, and suspicious” atmosphere within the court as it released other consequential and controversial rulings on gun rights and environmental regulations. Brisk yet detailed, this is a valuable overview of how America’s highest court became such a lightning rod." Rezension(4): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: May 15, 2023 Alarming expos� of the Supreme Court's hard right supermajority. Along with legislatures stripping minorities of civil and voting rights and gerrymandering safe districts, the Supreme Court, writes NYU School of Law scholar Waldman, is among the foremost threats to American democracy. While in office, Donald Trump installed three Supreme Court justices who have transformed the moderate Roberts court into an extreme right-wing institution that, in just three days in June 2022, overturned Roe v. Wade, forbade federal agencies from addressing climate change, and radically loosened curbs on guns, amid an epidemic of mass shootings. These actions, Waldman fears, are just the beginning of a struggle over the meaning of the Constitution--a struggle fought, by his reckoning, three times before, most recently in rulings concerning civil rights after Brown v. Board of Education. The current court is focused on originalism, which involves trying to discern exactly what the Founders were thinking. However, Waldman urges, the Founders assumed that the Constitution would be frequently amended to reflect social change. One great reform came in the 19th century to extend the power of the Bill of Rights to state-level as well as federal actions. Today, with the sullenly taciturn Clarence Thomas and his election-denying spouse at the center of the court, stripping rights, Waldman charges, is the order of the day. In an institution with almost no ethical controls, Thomas managed to run afoul of the few existing rules that govern conduct. Waldman counsels a program to sidestep the Supreme Court not by packing it, as some have urged, but instead by strengthening lower courts (Justice John Roberts himself having called for 79 new federal judges), limit court tenure to 18 years instead of a lifetime appointment, and concentrate on building a progressive legislative branch. A damning account of a Supreme Court gone wildly activist in shredding the Constitution. COPYRIGHT(2023) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Once, the Supreme Court was virtually toothless,how did it become a coequal branch of the government, whose decisions severely impact the daily lives of all Americans? Waldman traces the historical roots of the court, from its establishment with the adoption of the Constitution and its early weakness to its eventual major impact on modern America. With meticulous attention to detail, Waldman leads up to the modern era, explaining how the court came to be dominated by a radically conservative supermajority of six to three. He explains how a variety of conservative decisions have dramatically reduced the scope of civil rights, specifically West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency and Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (which notoriously overturned abortion rights). He then looks to the future, speculating on how possible decisions by this conservative court will further divide the country and damage American democracy. Waldman's detail is difficult to slog through at times, but this is a cautionary tale that shouldn't be ignored. COPYRIGHT(2023) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. "

Inhalt: " 'Powerful. . A heart-wrenching profile of resilience, ingenuity, and heroism.' Publisher's Weekly 'A story of courage, compassion, and cunning so profound that it must be included with the greatest Holocaust literature. Janina Mehlberg is a heroine for the ages.' - Larry Loftis, New York Times bestselling author of The Watchmaker's Daughter The Holocaust has given rise to many accounts of resistance and rescue, but The Counterfeit Countess is unique. It tells the remarkable, untold story of 'Countess Janina Suchodolska', a Jewish woman named Janina Mehlberg who rescued more than 10,000 Poles imprisoned by their country's Nazi occupiers. Using the identity papers of a Polish aristocrat, she worked as a welfare official while also serving in the Polish resistance. With guile, cajolery, and steely persistence, 'the Countess' persuaded SS officials to release thousands of Poles from the Majdanek concentration camp. Incredibly, she eluded detection, survived the war and eventually emigrated to the USA. Drawing on the manuscript of Mehlberg's own unpublished memoir, supplemented with prodigious research, , historians and Holocaust experts Elizabeth White and Joanna Sliwa have uncovered the full story of this extraordinary woman. Unsparing yet inspiring, The Counterfeit Countess is an unforgettable account of selfless courage in the face of unspeakable cruelty, and a major addition to the history of the Holocaust."

Once a free spirit, Sam Holloway has sought practicality and predictability ever since her high school boyfriend, Wyatt Pope, broke her heart, leading her to a stuffy job as an HR consultant and engagement to a straitlaced doctor, Jack. On the brink of losing her job due to a misstep with a client, Sam returns to her family’s Long Island summer home to regroup and scope out a potential wedding venue with Jack—only to discover that Wyatt, a singer songwriter, is also back in town to host a music festival. Sam is thrown (“Wyatt is a locked-away memory of a time I don’t want to go back to and a person I can barely remember being. And somehow he’s thirty feet away, right next door”), but believes she’ll be able to avoid Wyatt—until Jack’s parents show up and Jack asks to extend the trip. Sam’s mother urges her to find closure with Wyatt, but the closeness brings up old feelings and memories of carefree summers together at the beach, leading Sam to question her life choices. Monaghan nails the second-chance romance trope, allowing the love between her leads to rekindle slowly as they forge a satisfying path to forgiveness (the reveal that Wyatt’s love songs are about Sam doesn’t hurt). This is a knockout. Agent: Marly Rusoff, Rusoff Agency. " Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: April 15, 2023 On the eve of her wedding, a woman runs into the teenage love who broke her heart. Sam has her life all figured out. She's got Jack, her perfect doctor fiance,a nice Manhattan apartment,and a job she's good at (even if she might have just messed it up). Now she's headed out to her family's Long Island beach house to tour a potential wedding venue and finally introduce Jack to the kind of summers she grew up with, even though they might be a little less straight-laced than he's used to. What she wasn't anticipating was that Wyatt--the boy next door she was in love with all through her childhood and whom she hasn't seen since she was 17, when he broke her heart--would be there, cheerfully enmeshed back in her family. Long-forgotten feelings bubble under the surface as Sam must figure out if the life she's created is the one she really wants. The book jumps back and forth in time, starting in the present and flashing back chronologically through Sam and Wyatt's growing-up years, relationship, and breakup. This means there's a lot of buildup for the inevitable split, and it's impossible for the breakup not to feel like a letdown. The story also feels lopsided in that the modern-day sections (with one small exception) are narrated by Sam while the flashback sections alternate between Sam's and Wyatt's points of view. While that structure does let the reader understand why Wyatt did what he did as a teen, it's an odd contrast with the mysterious Wyatt of the present. The book would have been stronger if it had either fully stayed with Sam's journey or followed both leads. Interesting side characters are left disappointingly half-baked to focus on fairly standard protagonists. A love story with a lot of bark but little bite.

Now, as an adult, she dislikes how the visits disrupt her perfectly ordered life. But this year she's bringing her perfectly ordered dermatologist fianc�, Jack, and she's worried about what he will think of the hippy-dippy surroundings. To make matters worse, Wyatt is back, writing songs in the tree house. This is the first time Sam has seen him since he broke her heart when she was 17, but she's determined not to make it weird, despite the still-electric chemistry between them. Monaghan's follow-up to Nora Goes Off Script (2022) alternates between Sam and Wyatt's childhood summers and Sam in the present, presenting her heartbreakingly believable path to getting her life under control. At the same time, Monaghan makes the perfect case for Sam losing that control, however frightening the prospect is. With likable, realistic characters, a breezy, beachy setting, and an ideal balance of humor and emotional depth, Same Time Next Summer is a moving love story about a woman finding her way back to herself.
