A. Zorloni, IULM University, Milan, Italy The Economics of Contemporary Art Markets, Strategies and Stardom
The book examines the contemporary art system with a broad and systematic approach, through the application of models of microeconomics and industrial organizations. By breaking down the traditional barriers between different academic disciplines such as art and economics, this book offers a unique opportunity to grasp the complexi- ties of the contemporary art world and provides the tools to conduct a structural analysis of that market. The result is an in-depth analysis of the contemporary art market from an interdisciplin- ary perspective. While it is not a textbook in the strictest sense, the book offers a concise and effec- tive overview of all actors in the art system, and provides supporting data and valuable informa- tion, both conceptual and practical.
Features 7 Rich with economic data regarding contem- porary art markets and their media 7 Explores the economic mechanisms that lead to success for some artists and to failure for others 7 Exten- sive analysis of art collecting in the corporate world 7 Appendix containing the list of contem- porary artists with a history of top prices
Contents Introduction.- The Economics of Creativity Be- tween Culture, Innovation, and Competitiveness.- The System of Contemporary Art.- Contemporary Art Markets and Supporting Sectors.- Art Ap- praisal and Value Creation Strategies.- Collecting: Motivations and Patterns of Consumption.

S. Synková, Aarhus University, Denmark Courts’ Inquiry into Arbitral Jurisdiction at the Pre-Award Stage A Comparative Analysis of the English, German and Swiss Legal Order
Challenges to arbitral jurisdiction have become quite a common practice in the field of interna- tional arbitration. Responding appropriately to such challenges is crucial to the efficacy of interna- tional arbitration as a system of dispute resolution. This work focuses particularly on the means and procedures for determining arbitral jurisdiction in state court proceedings at the early stages of the arbitral process - i.e. prior to the rendition of an arbitral award - and analyses them in terms of their efficacy and legitimacy.

R. Zazkis, N. Sinclair, P. Liljedahl, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, Canada Lesson Play in Mathematics Education: A Tool for Research and Professional Development
Lesson play is a novel construct in research and teachers’ professional development in mathemat- ics education. Lesson play refers to a lesson or part of a lesson presented in dialogue form—inspired in part by Lakatos’s evocative Proofs and Refuta- tions—featuring imagined interactions between a teacher and her/his students. We have been using and refining our use of this tool for a number of years and using it in a variety of situations involv- ing mathematics thinking and learning. The goal of this proposed book is to offer a comprehensive survey of the affordances of the tool, the results of our studies—particularly in the area of pre- service teacher education, and the reasons that the tool offers such productive possibilities for both researchers and teacher educators.
Features 7 Introduces and elaborates upon a novel tool, lesson play, in teacher education and profes- sional development 7 Provides critical analyses of numerous plays created by prospective teachers, offering insight on teachers' pedagogical and subject matter knowledge 7 Provides a variety of scenarios and models for implementing the tool in mathematics teacher education and beyond

E. Weber, J. Van Bouwel, L. De Vreese, University of Ghent, Belgium Scientific Explanation
When scientist investigate why things happen, they aim at giving an explanation. But what does a scientific explanation look like? In the first chapter (Theories of Scientific Explanation) of this book, the milestones in the debate on how to character- ize scientific explanations are exposed. The second chapter (How to Study Scientific Explanation?) scrutinizes the working-method of three impor- tant philosophers of explanation, Carl Hempel, Philip Kitcher and Wesley Salmon and shows what went wrong. Next, it is the responsibility of cur- rent philosophers of explanation to go on where Hempel, Kitcher and Salmon failed. However, we should go on in a clever way. We call this clever way the pragmatic approach to scientific explanation and clarify briefly what this approach consists in. The third chapter (A Toolbox for Analysing Explanatory Practices) elaborates the pragmatic approach by presenting a toolbox for analysing scientific explanation. In the last chapter (Examples of Explanatory Practice) the approach is illustrated with real-life examples of scientists aiming at explaining.
