Flight - Ben Vinson Iii - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Flight - Ben Vinson Iii - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Virgil Richardson blazed his own unique trail through the twentieth century: a co-founder of Harlem''s American Negro Theater, 1930s radio personality, World War II pilot, and expatriate for most of his life. In Flight, this remarkable man tells his story in his own vivid words. Educated in Texas, Richardson set out for New York City in 1938 to build a career on the stage. Just when he was on the brink of success as an actor, World War II broke out and he was drafted into the army. After overcoming numerous obstacles, Richardson became a Tuskegee cadet in 1943, and later saw action flying over the battlefields of Europe. Upon returning to the racially divided U.S., he decided to move to Mexico, where he encountered a society quite different from the one he had left behind. Compellingly told and historically fascinating, this is the story of a determined individual unwilling to accept the limited options of Jim Crow America.

The Liberal Model and Africa - K. Good - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Liberal Model and Africa - K. Good - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book critically examines the realities of liberal democracy; its elitism and non-accountability; and its inequalities and injustices. Participatory systems and movements, whether in Athens, seventeenth and nineteenth century England, or South Africa 1970-1990, are more effective in satisfying the democratic aspirations of the people and in curtailing ambitious elites, than what is passed off now as ''democracy''. By interrogating contemporary democratic regimes, in the United States, and in Botswana and South Africa, the severe limitations and constraints inherent in liberal democracy are highlighted. The need for a clear evaluation of what constituted democracy emerges as a powerful message of Kenneth Good''s argument.

External Economies and Cooperation in Industrial Districts - Roberta Rabellotti - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

External Economies and Cooperation in Industrial Districts - Roberta Rabellotti - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book aims to explore the potential of the industrial district ''model'' through the analysis of Italy, the ''land'' of districts, and in Mexico, a less developed country. Empirical research assesses the extent to which the core characteristics of the ''model'' correspond to the clusters analyzed. The investigation focuses upon external economies and cooperation which stem directly from the industrial district ''model'', with particular emphasis upon the intense linkages existing within the clusters examined.

Transmission Channels of Financial Shocks to Stock, Bond, and Asset-Backed Markets - Massimo Guidolin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Transmission Channels of Financial Shocks to Stock, Bond, and Asset-Backed Markets - Massimo Guidolin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Researchers, policymakers and commentators have long debated the patterns through which adverse shocks in a few markets may quickly spread to a range of apparently disconnected financial markets causing widespread losses and turmoil. This book uses modern linear and non-linear econometric methods to characterize how shocks to the yield of risky fixed income securities, such as sub-prime asset-backed or low-credit rating sovereign bonds, are transmitted to the yields in other markets. These include equity and corporate bond markets as well as relatively risk-free fixed income securities, such as highly rated asset-backed securities and sovereign bonds from core Eurozone countries. The authors analyse and compare the results from linear and non-linear models to identify and assess four distinct contagion channels characterizing both US and European financial markets. These include the correlated information, risk premium, flight-to-liquidity, and flight-to quality channels. The results of this study support the theory that both investors and policy-makers ought to pay special attention to liquidity and commonalities in the perceptions of the probabilities of default, as channels through which financial shocks propagate.

Legitimacy in International Relations and the Rise and Fall of Yugoslavia - John Williams - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Legitimacy in International Relations and the Rise and Fall of Yugoslavia - John Williams - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book develops a conceptual model of legitimacy as a value-judgement in international relations in contrast to Weberian and legal approaches. The model is based on the interaction of the states-systemic value of order with a liberal ideal of the state and a free-market, liberal international economy. Whilst formulated as a principally Western model, the analysis of the rise and fall of Yugoslavia and the international response points towards a wider applicability as well as confirming the value of the concept as an analytical tool.

Valuing Banks - Federico Beltrame - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Valuing Banks - Federico Beltrame - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book aims to overcome the limitations the variations in bank-specifics impose by providing a bank-specific valuation theoretical framework and a new asset-side model. The book includes also a constructive comparison of equity and asset side methods. The authors present a novel framework entitled, the “Asset Mark-down Model”. This method incorporates an Adjusted Present Value model, which allows practitioners to identify the main value creation sources of a particular bank: from asset-based cash flow and the mark-down on deposits, to tax benefits on bearing liabilities. Through the implementation of this framework, the authors offer a more accurate and more specific approach to valuing banks.

A Prescription for Psychiatry - Peter Kinderman - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

A Prescription for Psychiatry - Peter Kinderman - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

A Prescription for Psychiatry lays bare the flaws and failings of traditional mental health care and offers a radical alternative. Exposing the old-fashioned biological ''disease model'' of psychiatry as unscientific and unhelpful, it calls for a revolution in the way we plan and deliver care. Kinderman challenges the way we think about mental health problems, arguing that the origins of distress are largely social, and urges a change from a ''disease model'' to a ''psychosocial model''. The book persuasively argues that we should significantly reduce our use of psychiatric medication, and help should be tailored to each person''s unique needs. This is a manifesto for an entirely new approach to psychiatric care; one that truly offers care rather than coercion, therapy rather than medication, and a return to the common sense appreciation that distress is usually an understandable reaction to life''s challenges.
