Stocks and bonds? Real estate? Hedge funds? Private equity? If you think those are the things to focus on in building an investment portfolio, Andrew Ang has accumulated a body of research that will prove otherwise. In his new book Asset Management: A Systematic Approach to Factor Investing, Ang upends the conventional wisdom about asset allocation by showing that what matters aren t asset class labels but the bundles of overlapping risks they represent. Making investments is like eating a healthy diet, Ang says: you ve got to look through the foods you eat to focus on the nutrients they contain. Failing to do so can lead to a serious case of malnutrition-for investors as well as diners. The key, in Ang s view, is bad times, and the fact that every investor s bad times are somewhat different. The notion that bad times are paramount is the guiding principle of the book, which offers a new approach to the age-old problem of where do you put your money? Years of experience, both as a finance professor and as a consultant, have led Ang to see that the traditional approach, with its focus on asset classes, is too crude and ultimately too costly to serve investors adequately. He focuses instead on factor risks, the peculiar sets of hard times that cut across asset classes, and that must be the focus of our attention if we are to weather market turmoil and receive the rewards that come with doing so. Optimally harvesting factor premiums-on our own or by hiring others-requires identifying your particular set of hard times, and exploiting the difference between them and those of the average investor. Clearly written yet chock-full of the latest research and data, Asset Management will be indispensable reading for trustees, professional money managers, smart private investors, and business students who want to understand the economics behind factor risk premiums, harvest them efficiently in their portfolios, and embark on the search for true alpha.

THE TIMES, Book of the Week_____________________________Doctors are the people we turn to in our darkest moments. We trust them with our lives. But what does that stress do to a person?What does it take to confront death, disease, distress and suffering every day? To work in a healthcare system stretched to breaking point?

Obraz diváků televizních seriálů a dalších pořadů jako pasivních konzumentů je zakořeněný i dnes, v éře internetových televizí, streamování a obsahu dostupného kdykoli na přání . V době, kdy americký kulturní a mediální teoretik Henry Jenkins psal svou knihu Pytláci textů (1992), však byla tato charakteristika přijímána takřka bez výhrad i odborníky z oblasti mediálních studií. Jenkins svůj odborný zájem soustředil na jednu specifickou skupinu diváků, fanoušky, a podrobně analyzoval jejich sociální praktiky a kulturní produkci, díky čemuž se mu podařilo dobově převažující přesvědčení o pasivitě seriálových diváků zásadním způsobem problematizovat. Henry Jenkins se ovšem v Pytlácích textů neopevňuje jen v pozici distancovaného akademika, ale píše zároveň i jako dlouholetý fanoušek aktivně zapojený do komunitních aktivit. Tato jeho dvojdomost, která je v textu neustále reflektovaná, mu přínosně umožnuje odložit do té doby obvyklý znevažující tón a ponořit se bez zlehčování do fascinujícího světa fanoušků. Základním pozorováním, z nějž Jenkins ve svých analýzách vychází, je to, že fanoušci filmy, seriály a další žánry nejen konzumují, ale také je dále přetvářejí, navazují na ně a přepisují je. A ne vždy souhlasně: nezřídka se jejich texty vymezují proti pojetí narativů a postav, jak je koncipovali jejich původní autoři. Výtvory komerční masové kultury se tedy pro fanoušky stávají materiálem jejich vlastní, značně nezávislé tvorby. V jednotlivých kapitolách knihy se Jenkins soustředí na kritické aktivity komunity fanoušků, na utváření jejich kánonů, hodnocení a interpretací. Především se však věnuje konkrétním výtvorům: povídkám a románům včetně kontroverzního žánru slash fiction (erotické nebo pornografické příběhy o mužských hrdinech seriálů Star Trek či Profesionálové), videím důmyslně remixujícím materiál odvysílaných seriálů a také pozoruhodnému žánru filkové hudby. To vše v kontextu etnografie sociálních praktik fanouškovské komunity, od společného sledování seriálů přes výměnu nahraných videokazet po fanouškovské srazy (cony) nejrůznějšího typu a rozsahu. Jenkinsova klasická práce tak nabízí jedinečný raný pohled na dnes všeprostupující kulturu participace, jež se i prostřednictvím sociálních sítí stala jedním z nejvýraznějších atributů dnešních dní. Český překlad byl pořízen z anglického vydání, které vyšlo u příležitosti dvaceti let od prvního publikování knihy. Je doplněn obsáhlým rozhovorem s autorem, v němž Henry Jenkins reflektuje jak svou někdejší badatelskou metodu, tak posuny, k nimž ve fanouškovské praxi i v její odborné reflexi za poslední dvě dekády došlo.

Provocative, elegant, intriguing - Jenkins is a bold, imaginative writer, brilliant at challenging old assumptions and encouraging you to look at British architecture in a new light Rory StewartThe story of Britain is revealed through its buildings, and yet the language of architecture is a mystery to all but a few. In this enlightening history, spanning castles and cathedrals to factories and railway stations, Jenkins translates the hidden narratives infused in the facades we walk past every day.Britainâ ™s history has been formed by its politics, religion and society and these influences can be seen in the architectural styles that have shaped its landscape. From pre-Roman and the Middle Ages, to the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution, Classical and Gothic styles surged and retreated from favour only to then be challenged by a new player: Modernism, a style that reflected the stunning technological advances of the second half of the twentieth century.In this narrative history, Simon Jenkins â “ the bestselling champion of our national heritage â “ introduces us to the singular, eccentric and sometimes rather ordinary characters who shaped Britain. Jenkins teaches readers to see the world anew, demystifying the elitist language of architecture so that we can all appreciate the buildings around us.

He presents Auden in the inter-War years as both a visionary writer, creatively dependent on dreams and intuitions, and a traumatized poet, haunted by war and suffering, and shadowed by his outsider status as a privileged but queer man.The Island considers, as well, Audenâ ™s imaginative flirtations with a lyrical nationalism appealing to a poet who, for a while, felt his psyche was like a map of English culture. The narrative ends in Audenâ ™s disillusionment with these potent myths and beliefs and the time when he left â ˜the islandâ ™.Audenâ ™s preoccupations â “ with the vicissitudes of war and the problems of love, belonging and identity â “ are of their time but they still resonate profoundly today. â ˜A superb, deeply researched study of Audenâ ™s early work and identity. Jenkinsâ ™s understanding of young Auden as a poet shaped and haunted by the First World War â “ assimilating the influence of Wilfred Owen, Edward Thomas, Robert Graves, and W. H. R. Rivers â “ is convincing, original, and poignant. Fusing biography, cultural history, and literary criticism in innovative and elegant ways, The Island is a landmark publication in modernist studies.â ™Heather Clark, author of Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plathâ ˜Nicholas Jenkins is one of our most perceptive and resourceful critics. In this wonderful study of the early Auden, he brings to bear history, biography, and an acute sense of the artistic moment to fashion for us a young genius who is conservative, bucolic, gay, a patriotic adherent of post-imperial Little England. Most people work backwards from a writerâ ™s ultimate reputation, but Jenkins gives us a new, unexpected image of a poet developing in the aftermath of World War I and the collapse of modernism.â ™Edmund White, author of The Humble Loverâ ˜The Island is a Copernican Revolution in Auden studies, a revelatory and often exciting book that presents a new and convincing account of Auden s early years. It explores, for the first time, the deep connections between the inner workings of his poems and the worlds of politics and economics. By bringing to light Auden s ambition to be a national poet, Jenkins transforms our understanding of not only Auden himself but all of modernist literature.â ™Edward Mendelson, author of Early Auden and Later Auden

From one of the country’s most respected religion reporters, a paradigm-shifting discussion of how the Religious Left is actually the moral compass that has long steered America’s political debates, including today.Since the ascendancy of the Religious Right in the 1970s, common wisdom holds that it is a coalition of fundamentalist powerbrokers who are the “moral majority,” setting the standard for conservative Christian values and working to preserve the status quo.But, as national religion reporter Jack Jenkins contends, the country is also driven by a vibrant, long-standing moral force from the left. Constituting an amorphous group of interfaith activists that goes by many names and takes many forms, this coalition has operated since America’s founding — praying, protesting, and marching for common goals that have moved society forward. Throughout our history, the Religious Left has embodied and championed the progressive values at the heart of American democracy—abolition, labor reform, civil rights, environmental preservation.Drawing on his years of reporting, Jenkins examines the re-emergence of progressive faith-based activism, detailing its origins and contrasting its goals with those of the Religious Right. Today’s rapidly expanding interfaith coalition — which includes Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and other faiths — has become a force within the larger “resistance” movement. Jenkins profiles Washington political insiders—including former White House staffers and faith outreach directors for the campaigns of Barack Obama, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton—as well as a new generation of progressive faith leaders at the forefront today, including:Rev. William Barber II, leader of North Carolina’s Moral Mondays and co-chair of the nationwide Poor People’s campaignLinda Sarsour, co-chair of the Women’s MarchRev. Traci Blackmon, a pastor near Ferguson, Missouri who works to lift up black liberation efforts across the countrySister Simone Campbell, head of the Catholic social justice lobby and the “Nuns on the Bus” tour organizerNative American “water protectors” who demonstrated against the Dakota Access Pipeline in Standing RockBishop Gene Robinson, the first openly gay Episcopal bishopAn exciting reevaluation of America’s moral center and an inspiring portrait of progressive faith-in-action, American Prophets will change the way we think about the intersection of politics and religion.

Explores iconic works from The Cat in the Hat to The Twilight Zone to explain cultural trends in parenting and how we conceptualize childhood The 60s produced a Baby Boom generation that catalyzed the dawn of a new eraâ ”the space age, the age of television, the global age, and the beginnings of civil rights. At the same time, a new paradigm for parenting was unfolding that put emphasis on permissiveness, defined by what it permitted â “ the free and unfettered impulses of children. Others worried that the wildness of children, personified by the characters in Maurice Sendak s 1963 classic children s book, Where the Wild Things Are, was destructive, disruptive and disrespectful. Where the Wild Things Were centers on the exploding, contentious national conversation about the nature of childhood and parenting in the postwar US emblematized by Dr. Spock s Baby and Child Care. Renowned scholar Henry Jenkins demonstrates that the language that shaped a growing field of advice literature for parents also informed the period s fictionsâ ”in film, television, comics, children s books, and elsewhereâ ”produced for and consumed by children. In particular, Jenkins demonstrates, the era s emblematic child was the boy in the striped shirt: white, male, suburban, middle class, Christian, and above all, American. Weaving together intellectual histories and popular texts, Jenkins shows how boy protagonists became embodiments of permissive child rearing, as well as the social ideals and contradictions that permissiveness entailed. From Peanuts comic strips and TV specials to The Cat in the Hat, Dennis the Menace, and Jonny Quest, the book reveals how childhood and the stories about it became central to Cold War concerns with democracy, citizenship, globalization, the space race, science, race relations, gender, and sexuality. Written by a former boy in a striped shirt, Where the Wild Things Were explores iconic works, from Mary Poppins to Lost in Space, contextualizing them through a critical but respectful engagement with the core animating ideas of the permissive imagination.

LONDON: a settlement founded by the Romans, occupied by the Saxons, conquered by the Danes and ruled by the Normans. This changeful place became a medieval maze of alleys and courtyards, later to be chequered with grand estates of Georgian splendour. It swelled with industry and became the centre of the largest empire in history. And having risen from the rubble of the Blitz, it is now one of the greatest cities in the world.From the prehistoric occupants of the Thames Valley to the preoccupied commuters of today, Simon Jenkins brings together the key events, individuals and trends in London s history to create a matchless portrait of the capital. He masterfully explains the battles that determined how London was conceived and built - and especially the perennial conflict between money and power.Based in part on his experiences of and involvement in the events that shaped the post-war city, and with his trademark colour and authority, Jenkins shows above all how London has taken shape over more than two thousand years. Fascinating for locals and visitors alike, this is narrative history at its finest, from the most ardent protector of our heritage. A handsome book ... full of the good judgements one might hope for from such a sensible and readable commentator, and they alone are worth perusing for pleasure and food for thought Michael Wood, New Statesman on A Short History of England Any passably cultured inhabitant of the British Isles should ask for, say, three or four copies of this book for Christmas...I can imagine no better companion on a voyage across England Max Hastings, Daily Telegraph on England s Thousand Best Houses

A WATERSTONES BEST HISTORY BOOK Simon Jenkins, as ever, writes with clarity and insight Times One of the liveliest commentators in Britain, always worth reading and pleasingly contrarian Jeremy Paxman, GuardianWho were the Celts? Were they a people, a civilisation, an empire, or a fiction of historical imagination? They flit as ghosts through Europe s ancient past, purported ancestors of the Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Cornish and Bretons.Yet they have never been identified with any one land, or with any one history or language.Simon Jenkins argues compellingly that the Celts is a misleading concept, bundling together quite distinct peoples. The word keltoi first appears in Greek, applied generally to aliens or barbarians - and theories of Celticism continue to fuel many of the prejudices and misconceptions that divide the British Isles to this day. Fascinating and increasingly relevant, who the Celts were - or weren t - goes to the heart of the ongoing argument over the future of a dis-United Kingdom.

Although workplace design and management are gaining more and more attention from modern organizations, workplace research is still very fragmented and spread across multiple disciplines in academia. There are several books on the market related to workplaces, facility management (FM), and corporate real estate management (CREM) disciplines, but few open up a theoretical and practical discussion across multiple theories from different disciplines. Therefore, workplace researchers are not aware of all the angles from which workplace management and effects of workplace design on employees has been or could be studied. A lot of knowledge is lost between disciplines, and sadly, many insights do not reach workplace managers in practice. Therefore, this new book series is started by associate professor Rianne Appel-Meulenbroek (Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands) and postdoc researcher Vitalija Danivska (Aalto University, Finland) as editors, published by Routledge. It is titled ‘Transdisciplinary Workplace Research and Management’ because it bundles important research insights from different disciplinary fields and shows its relevance for both academic workplace research and workplace management in practice. The books will address the complexity of the transdisciplinary angle necessary to solve ongoing workplace-related issues in practice, such as knowledge worker productivity, office use, and more strategic management. In addition, the editors work towards further collaboration and integration of the necessary disciplines for further development of the workplace field in research and in practice. This book series is relevant for workplace experts both in academia and industry.This second book in the series focuses on the role of workplace management in the organization and the tasks that workplace management needs to consider. The 18 theories that are presented in this book and applied to workplace research discuss management aspects from the organization’s perspective or dive deeper into issues related to people and/or building management. They all emphasize that workplace management is a complex matter that requires more strategic attention in order to add value for various stakeholders. The final chapter of the book describes a first step towards integrating the presented theories into an interdisciplinary framework for developing a grand workplace management theory.

Modern societies require energy systems to provide energy for cooking, heating, transport, and materials processing, as well as for electricity generation. Energy systems include the primary fuel, its conversion, and transport to the point of use. In many cases this primary fuel is still a fossil fuel, a one-use resource derived from a finite supply within our planet, causing considerable damage to the environment. After 300 years of increasing reliance on fossil fuels, particularly coal, it is becoming ever clearer that the present energy systems need to change. In this Very Short Introduction Nick Jenkins explores our historic investment in the exploitation of fossil energy resources and their current importance, and discusses the implications of our increasing rate of energy use. He considers the widespread acceptance by scientists and policy makers that our energy systems must reduce emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, and looks forward to the radical changes in fuel technology that will be necessary to continue to provide energy supplies in a sustainable manner, and extend access across the developing world. Considering the impact of changing to an environmentally benign and low-carbon energy system, Jenkins also looks at future low-carbon energy systems which would use electricity from a variety of renewable energy sources, as well as the role of nuclear power in our energy use.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
