Innovative Infrastructure Finance - Can Chen, John R. Bartle
Infrastructure is the foundation of modern economies. A robust, efficient, and well-maintained infrastructure system is critical to support the nation''s economy, improve quality of life, and strengthen global competitiveness. The serious infrastructure deficit in the U.S. is well-known. State and local governments are struggling to finance the needed expansion, upgrades, and repairs. Meeting the infrastructure financing challenge has emerged as one of the most urgent issues facing the country. Despite the growing number of innovations in state and local infrastructure financing, current information on innovative infrastructure financing is scattered and time-consuming to find. Until now, there was no detailed, comprehensive assessment of current knowledge and practice in innovative infrastructure financing. This book fills that gap and offers policy suggestions for state and local government managers who are considering the adoption and implementation of innovative infrastructure financing. It provides detailed case studies and rich examples that describe innovative approaches to fund state and local infrastructure development. These experiences and lessons in applying these innovations will be particularly useful for state and local government practitioners, professors, applied policy analysts, and students in public administration, policy, and public finance.

De Gruyter Handbook of Entrepreneurial Finance
As of early 2022, seven of the ten largest firms in the world by market capitalization had been funded through various types of entrepreneurial finance. This handbook provides an up-to-date survey of what we know about this significant phenomenon in all its forms, and where our knowledge about it needs to head from here. The handbook embraces a wide range of established and emerging academic and practitioner voices across the globe to explore the theoretical and practical flux and tension in the field. Until recently, most studies have taken a supply side perspective, focusing on the perspective of those who provide funding to new ventures. This book takes a different, demand side perspective, beginning with the entrepreneur and gradually broadening our view to include close by and then more distant funding sources. Following this approach, it is organized into four parts detailing the individual level (foundersÂ’ resources, bricolage and bootstrapping, effectuation and portfolio entrepreneurship); the inner circle (informal financing, business groups, incubators and accelerators); the wider world (formal debt, microfinance, venture capital, corporate venture capital, business angels, government funding and family offices); and emerging perspectives (non-Western perspectives, gender, indigenous perspectives, post-conflict and disaster zones and ethics). The introduction considers the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Principles of Sustainable Finance - Dirk Schoenmaker, Willem Schramade
Finance is widely seen as an obstacle to a better world.Principles of Sustainable Finance explains how the financial sector can be mobilized to counter this. Using finance as a means to achieve social goals, we can divert the planet and its economy from its current path to a world that is sustainable for all.Written for undergraduate, graduate, and executive students of finance, economics, business, and sustainability, this textbook combines theory, empirical data, and policy to explain the sustainability challenges for corporate investment. It shows how finance can steer funding to certain companies and projects without sacrificing return and thus speed up the transition to a sustainable economy. It analyses the Sustainable Development Goals as a strategy for a better world and provides evidence that environmental, social, and governance factors matter, explaining in detail how to incorporate these factors in the corporate and financial sectors.Tailored for students, Principles of Sustainable Finance starts each chapter with an overview and learning objectives to support study. It includes suggestions for further reading, lists and definitions of key concepts, and extensive uses of figures, boxes, and tables to enhance educational goals and clarify concepts.

Stock Markets And Corporate Finance: A Primer - Michael Joseph Dempsey
Stock Markets and Corporate Finance: A Primer examines the nature of the stock market and its implications for corporate management. In the historical context of financial institutions and business finance, students are stimulated to learn that traditional totems of corporate finance can no longer be presented as dogma, but rather as exceedingly frail models of reality. At the core of this text is the philosophy that financial institutions and corporate/business finance are more satisfactorily understood in relation to one another.This revised text from the 2017 Stock Markets and Corporate Finance has allowed for a reshaping of the material with the deletion of a number of chapters considered ''interesting'' but overly academic. This additional space has allowed for an update on the chapter ''Financial Institutions and a History of Stock Markets'' as well as accounting for the circumstances of a post-COVID-19 era. The chapter ''Financial Planning and Working Capital'' has been reworked to demonstrate how a firm''s financial management team might interrogate its financial accounts to assess the viability of the firm and the management of its working capital.From reading this book, the reader will achieve insight into the behaviour and importance of financial institutions and firms as they are presented ...

He thinks he can have it all, until is deception is inevitably exposed...The Best a Man Can Get is written with the hilarious eye for detail that sent John O''Farrell''s first book, Things Can Only Get Better, to the top of the bestseller lists.

We Are Data - John Cheney-Lippold
What identity means in an algorithmic age: how it works, how our lives are controlled by it, and how we can resist it Algorithms are everywhere, organizing the near limitless data that exists in our world. Derived from our every search, like, click, and purchase, algorithms determine the news we get, the ads we see, the information accessible to us and even who our friends are. These complex configurations not only form knowledge and social relationships in the digital and physical world, but also determine who we are and who we can be, both on and offline. Algorithms create and recreate us, using our data to assign and reassign our gender, race, sexuality, and citizenship status. They can recognize us as celebrities or mark us as terrorists. In this era of ubiquitous surveillance, contemporary data collection entails more than gathering information about us. Entities like Google, Facebook, and the NSA also decide what that information means, constructing our worlds and the identities we inhabit in the process. We have little control over who we algorithmically are. Our identities are made useful not for us—but for someone else. Through a series of entertaining and engaging examples, John Cheney-Lippold draws on the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Langhans: jedno jméno, jedno místo. Kronika domu v centru Prahy. 150 let kulturní historie na pozadí dějinných zvratů. 400 vybraných portrétů osobností, které zrcadlí paměť a sílu této země. Odkaz ikonického ateliéru a jeho znovuzrození Téměř od založení Ateliéru Langhans v roce 1876 až po jeho likvidaci po roce 1948 byly z obrovského firemního archivu negativů pečlivě vyčleňovány portréty významných osobností. Pro tento výběr se později vžil název Galerie osobností. Tato sbírka byla chloubou ateliéru a zároveň rozsáhlým svědectvím o elitě národa. Jsou v ní obsaženy portréty politiků, vědců, spisovatelů, výtvarníků i hudebníků, podnikatelů, legionářů a duchovních, herců a pěvců, šlechticů a také cizinců, kteří v Čechách pobývali. Po roce 1948 byl zničen nejen podnik samý, ale také většina jeho rozsáhlého vizuálního archivu. Téměř dva miliony převážně skleněných negativů byly vyvezeny na skládku v Praze-Kyjích. Přes devět tisíc portrétů z Galerie osobností se však shodou šťastných náhod docho-valo a díky péči restaurátorů se je podařilo zachránit. Objevení části archivu při přestavbě domu ve Vodičkově ulici v Praze v letech 1998 a 2000 přináší cenné svědectví o významu Langhansova odkazu pro českou i evropskou kulturu.

Infrastructure in Archaeological Discourse
This volume expands perspectives on infrastructure that are rooted in archaeological discourse and material evidence.The compiled chapters represent new and emerging ideas within archaeology about what infrastructure is, how it can materialize, and how it impacts and reflects human behavior, social organization, and identity in the past as well as the present. Three goals central to the work include: (1) expand the definition of infrastructure using archaeological frameworks and evidence from a wide range of social, historical, and geographic contexts; (2) explore how new archaeological perspectives on infrastructure can help answer anthropological questions pertaining to social organization, group collaboration, and community consensus and negotiation; and (3) examine the broader implications of an archaeological engagement with infrastructure and contributions to contemporary infrastructural studies. Chapters explore important aspects of infrastructure, including its relationality, scale, history, and relevance, and provide archaeological case studies that examine the social repercussions of infrastructure and the various ways it has materialized in the past. This compilation ultimately expands the discourse of infrastructure in archaeology and social sciences more broadly.Social scientists can turn to this volume for insights into an archaeologically informed perspective on infrastructure relevant to the study of past and current human behavior.

Město Tchao-jüan: Brána na Tchaj-wan - Tomáš Řízek, Chen Ming-Pan
V knize Město Tchao-jüan: Brána na Tchaj-wan se Chen Ming-Pan po řadě literárních cestopisů o Japonsku znovu tematicky vrací na Tchaj-wan a tentokrát se novýma očima dívá na město Tchao-jüan, kde na mezinárodním letišti začíná svou cestu po Tchaj-wanu většina návštěvníků. Chen Ming-Panovým cílem je představit Tchao-jüan jako kulturní a moderní město, ve kterém našel svůj nový domov. Objevování Tchao-jüanu je tak plné emocí a úvah, kterými odpovídá sám sobě na otázku, proč se z hlavního města Tchaj-peje přestěhoval právě do Tchao-jüanu. Kniha je osobní a literární cestou a zároveň praktickým průvodcem. Chen Ming-Pan se snaží zachytit typickou atmosféru Tchao-jüanu a přiblížit prožitek, který při návštěvě jednotlivých míst čtenář zažívá. Pro zahraničního čtenáře je to nejen uvedení do zdejšího prostředí, ale i do způsobu myšlení a prožívání tchajwanských literátů.

The Great Transformation - Odd Arne Westad, Chen Jian
The first thorough account of a formative and little understood chapter in Chinese history  “A superb history of China’s transition into and out of the Cultural Revolution. . . . Chen and Westad—two of the best archival historians of Communist China writing today—coolly but vividly recount the extraordinary drama of this metamorphosis.â€â€”Julia Lovell, Financial Times  Odd Arne Westad and Chen Jian chronicle how an impoverished and terrorized China experienced radical political changes in the long 1970s and how ordinary people broke free from the beliefs that had shaped their lives during Mao’s Cultural Revolution. These changes, and the unprecedented and sustained economic growth that followed, transformed China and the world.  In this rigorous account, Westad and Chen construct a panorama of catastrophe and progress in China. They chronicle China’s gradual opening to the world—the interplay of power in an era of aged and ailing leadership, the people’s rebellion against the earlier government system, and the roles of unlikely characters: overseas Chinese capitalists, American engineers, Japanese professors, and German designers. This is a story of revolutionary change that neither foreigners nor the Chinese themselves could have predicted.

''Elegant, erudite, ambitious, inventive - a remarkable blend of research, imagination and first-hand experience.'' Rory Stewart''A sweeping and superbly written epic'' Wall Street Journal ''A work of great ambition... an account that is informed, filled with insights and a cracking read too.'' Peter FrankopanIraq is where civilisation was born, where East and West have mixed and clashed since long before Alexander, and it was here by the waters of Babylon where Judaism was born and the Sunni-Shia schism took its bloody shape. Inspired by extensive reporting from the region and a decade delving deep into its history, Land Between the Rivers chronicles Iraq''s uniquely central role on the global stage throughout the past five millennia.We begin the story with ancient Sumer and Gilgamesh building the walls of Uruk (''Iraq'') to make a great name for himself at the edge of historical time. We end it in 1958, as the last royal family of Iraq is slaughtered on the steps of a small palace in Baghdad, the most effervescent, free and promising capital in the Middle East.Bartle Bull''s remarkable, sweeping achievement reminds us that the region defined by the land between the rivershas, throughout history, played host to the contest pitting ...

Health Inequality - Amelia Bartley, Michelle Kelly-Irving
The persistence of stark health inequalities in today’s world is painfully clear to see, not least in the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and falling life expectancy in many parts of the world. How can we advance our understanding of the full extent of health inequality, what drives it, and ways to address it? The third edition of this popular book closely examines the influence of social class, gender, and race/ethnicity (among other issues) on health in the light of broad macro-political contexts. The classic behavioural, psychosocial, and material approaches to health and their embodiment within a life-course perspective are introduced but, importantly, are also re-situated within the growing understanding of the commercial and political determinants of health. Bartley and Kelly-Irving draw on extensive new evidence that shows how the chances for everyone to lead a long and healthy life depend on where power lies to control health-damaging policies and introduce health-promoting ones.  Health Inequality will continue to be essential reading for students taking courses in the sociology of health and illness, social policy and welfare, health sciences, public health and epidemiology and all those interested in understanding the consequences of social inequality for health.

Viktor Kolář: Color - Lukáš Bártl
Kniha přináší výběr z barevných a dosud nepublikovaných fotografií Viktora Koláře vzniklých v posledních patnácti letech. Jedná se o unikátní dílo zaznamenávající proměny společenských paradigmat a místa, jakési prolnutí globalizačních tlaků s lokální identitou. Publikaci po odborné stránce připravil Lukáš Bártl, výrazný autor v oblasti teorie fotografie, jenž provedl podrobnou uměleckohistorickou analýzu Kolářova díla a pořídil rovněž obsáhlý rozhovor s autorem. Všechny texty jsou přeloženy do anglického jazyka. Viktor Kolář (1941) patří k předním osobnostem dokumentární fotografie, a to v celoevropském měřítku. Již po šest desetiletí dokumentuje především severní Moravu a Ostravsko. Jeho dílo je zásadním vizuálním svědectvím doby a je výrazně sociálně zacíleno, pracují s ním nejen historici umění, ale například též sociologové. V posledních letech bylo jen namátkou prezentováno v publikacích jako No Fat Poetry, Bystander: A History of Street Photography nebo In the Face of History: European Photographers in the 20th Century a bylo zařazeno mezi skutečnou špičku světové fotografie a světového umění. Za své dílo byl Kolář také mnohokrát oceněn (např. Osobnost české fotografie, Cena města Ostravy ad.).
