Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development Mitigation

Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development Mitigation

After decades of evolving practice often tested in court development impact fees have become institutionalized in the American planning and local government finance systems. But they remain contentious especially as they continue to evolve. This book is the third in a series of impact fee guidebooks for practitioners following A Practitioner’s Guide to Development Impact Fees and Impact Fees: Proportionate Share Development Fees. Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development Mitigation is the culmination of the authors’ careers devoted to pioneering applications of the dual rational nexus test. That test requires (1) establishing the rational nexus between the need for infrastructure broadly defined to mitigate the impacts of development and (2) ensuring that development mitigating its infrastructure impacts benefits proportionately. The book elevates professional practice in two ways. First it shows how the rational nexus test can be applied to all forms of development infrastructure impact mitigation. Second it establishes the link between professional ethics and equity as applied to proportionate share impact fees and development mitigation. The book is divided into four parts with the first reviewing policy and legal foundations the second detailing the planning calculation and implementation requirements the third exploring economic ethical and equity implications and the fourth presenting state-of-the-art case studies. Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development Mitigation sets new standards for professional practice.

An Analysis of Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of Our Nature Why Violence has Declined

An Analysis of Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of Our Nature Why Violence has Declined

Reasoning is the critical thinking skill concerned with the production of arguments: making them coherent consistent and well-supported; and responding to opposing positions where necessary. The Better Angels of Our Nature offers a step-by-step class in precisely these skills. Author Steven Pinker's central thesis is simple: mankind has become increasingly less violent over the centuries and will continue to do so. Pinker is aware though that many people instinctively believe the opposite and Better Angels is devoted to marshalling data to support and illustrate this central argument as well as a series of secondary arguments about how and why humanity has become less violent. Pinker's interpretative skills – understanding the meaning of the complex evidence from history – are also on display throughout as he tackles the ambiguities of his data the problems it presents and the viable inferences one can draw from it. | An Analysis of Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of Our Nature Why Violence has Declined

The Lion's Share A History of British Imperialism 1850 to the Present

The Lion's Share A History of British Imperialism 1850 to the Present

Updated to incorporate a substantial new epilogue considering Brexit and its ‘imperial’ implications the sixth edition of The Lion’s Share remains an essential introduction to British imperialism from its Victorian heyday to the present. Well-known for its vigorous and readable style this book presents a broad narrative of events and explores a number of general themes challenging more conventional and popular interpretations of British imperialism as well as the simplistic ‘for’ and ‘against’ arguments put forward in today’s ‘history wars’. Bernard Porter sees imperialism as a symptom not of Britain's strength in the world but of her decline and he argues that the empire itself both aggravated and obscured deep-seated malaise in the British economy. This sixth edition includes a final epilogue that engages with what Brexit means for British Imperial History and whether it represents an extension of or final conclusion to Britain’s Imperial Career. In so doing the book offers readers a thorough understanding of the history of British imperialism and its heritage extending right into the present day. Supported by maps images and an updated chronology The Lion’s Share is the perfect resource for both students and those interested in British and Imperial History from the Victorian era to the modern day. | The Lion's Share A History of British Imperialism 1850 to the Present

Corporate Share Buybacks Impact on Equity Incentive Pay and Shareholder Value

Corporate Share Buybacks Impact on Equity Incentive Pay and Shareholder Value

This book integrates elements from agency theory and signalling theory and draws upon recent changes in the Australian payout policy and incentives pay for risk-averse employees to provide theoretical and empirical analyses that explain the paradox of the popularity of on-market stock buyback activities in a market environment characterised by reasonably high share prices. The authors utilise a dynamic model that rationalises this paradox which is divided into three components. The first component predicts that executives may be conducting on-market stock buyback programmes (SBPs) to adjust equity-based remuneration for risk-averse employees thereby motivating their performance without granting them additional costly equity incentive plans (EIPs); the second component predicts that companies are likely to invest in SBPs to increase the ownership stakes of employees in the firm thereby inducing risk-averse employees to increase their productivity which increases firm value; while the third component predicts that shareholders would benefit from incentives-induced buybacks if a firm’s opportunity cost of funds spent on buybacks is less than its inverse price-to-earnings ratio. The authors’ findings highlight differences in the market responses towards announced repurchase motives implying that not all incentives-induced buybacks are value-destructive buybacks. Specifically the widespread assumption that SBPs stifle investments in human and capital stock may be subjective as the findings show that incentives-induced buybacks may be value-creative or value-destructive depending on share repurchase motives of SBPs. This book will be a useful guide for scholars and researchers of finance corporate finance financial economics and financial accounting. | Corporate Share Buybacks Impact on Equity Incentive Pay and Shareholder Value

Distributive Justice Debates in Political and Social Thought Perspectives on Finding a Fair Share

Distributive Justice Debates in Political and Social Thought Perspectives on Finding a Fair Share

Who has what and why in our societies is a pressing issue that has prompted explanation and exposition by philosophers politicians and jurists for as long as societies and intellectuals have existed. It is a primary issue for a society to tackle this and these answers have been diverse. This collection of essays approaches some of these questions and answers to shed light on neglected approaches to issues of distribution and how these issues have been dealt with historically socially conceptually and practically. The volume moves away from the more dominating and traditionally cast understandings of distributive justice and shows novel and unique ways to approach distributive issues and how these can help enlighten our course of action and thought today by creating new pathways of understanding. The editors and contributors challenge readers by exploring the role and importance of restorative justice within distributive justice exploring the long shadow of practices of trusteeship and concepts of social and individual rights and obligations in welfare and economic systems social protection/provision schemes egalitarian practices and post-colonial African political thought. Distributive Justice Debates in Political and Social Thought empowers the reader to cast a more critical and historically complete light on the idea of a fair share and the implications it has on societies and the individuals who comprise them. | Distributive Justice Debates in Political and Social Thought Perspectives on Finding a Fair Share

How and Why We Teach Shakespeare College Teachers and Directors Share How They Explore the Playwright’s Works with Their Students

How and Why We Teach Shakespeare College Teachers and Directors Share How They Explore the Playwright’s Works with Their Students

In How and Why We Teach Shakespeare 19 distinguished college teachers and directors draw from their personal experiences and share their methods and the reasons why they teach Shakespeare. The collection is divided into four sections: studying the text as a script for performance; exploring Shakespeare by performing; implementing specific techniques for getting into the plays; and working in different classrooms and settings. The contributors offer a rich variety of topics including: working with cues in Shakespeare such as line and mid-line endings that lead to questions of interpretation seeing Shakespeare’s stage directions and the Elizabethan playhouse itself as contributing to a play’s meaning using the gamified learning model or cue-cards to get into the text thinking of the classroom as a rehearsal playing the Friar to a student’s Juliet in a production of Romeo and Juliet teaching Shakespeare to inner-city students or in a country torn by political and social upheavals. For fellow instructors of Shakespeare the contributors address their own philosophies of teaching the relation between scholarship and performance and—perhaps most of all—why in this age the study of Shakespeare is so important. Chapter 10 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www. taylorfrancis. com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4. 0 license. | How and Why We Teach Shakespeare College Teachers and Directors Share How They Explore the Playwright’s Works with Their Students
