Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The market never ceases to befuddle and beguile. These two venerable works are fixtures on the short lists for most valuable books on the securities markets, and investors continue to cherish them.' -From the Introduction by Martin S. Fridson Managing Director, Merrill Lynch & Co. Author of Investment IllusionsExploring the sometimes hilarious, sometimes devastating impact of crowd behavior and trading trickery on the financial markets, this book brilliantly combines two all-time investment classics. Extraordinary Popular Delusions and Confusión de Confusiones take us from Tulipmania in 1634-when tulips actually traded at a higher price than gold-to the South Sea 'bubble' of 1720, and beyond. Securities analyst and author Martin Fridson guides you on a quirky, entertaining, and intriguing journey back through time.Chosen by the Financial Times as Two of the Ten Best Books Ever Written on InvestmentCritical Praise . . .'This is the most important book ever written about crowd psychology and, by extension, about financial markets. A serious student of the markets and even anyone interested in the extremes of human behavior should read this book!' -Ron Insana, CNBC'In combining 'Extraordinary' with 'Confusion,' the result is not extraordinary confusion. Instead, with clarity, the book sears into modern investor minds the dangers of following the crowd.' -Greg Heberlein, The Seattle Times'You will see between its staid lines (written in ye olde English and as ponderable as Buddha's navel) that, despite what the media says, nothing really important has changed in the financial markets in centuries.' -Kenneth L.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How do cities use culture today Building on the experience of New York as a 'culture capital' Sharon Zukin shows how three notions of culture - as ethnicity, aesthetic, and marketing tool - are reshaping urban places and conflicts over revitalization. She rejects the idea that cities have either a singular urban culture or many different subcultures to argue that cultures are constantly negotiated in the city's central spaces - the streets, parks, shops, museums, and restaurants - which are the great public spaces of modernity.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book contains a compact, accessible treatment of the mainmathematical topics encountered in economics at an advanced level,moving from basic material into the twin areas of static anddynamic optimization.Nearly half of the book is devoted to a survey of univariatecalculus, matrix algebra and multuvariate calculus. Thisfundamental material is made vigorous by the inclusion of a varietyof applications. The later chapters focus on the Lagrangemultiplier technique: when it will work, why it works and whateconomic insights it yields. The properties of maximum valuefunctions and duality are explored, as are the Hamiltonianconditions for dynamic problems in the optimal control format.Dynamic programming and the calculus of variations are alsocovered.Much of the discussion proceeds at a heuristic level and by workedexample, but the theorems and proofs required by the mostanalytical user are also to be found. The underlying message isthat the language of mathematics can be productive, givingexpression to the ideas and facilitating approaches from whichinsights flow that may be hard to come by in other ways.The book will be particularly useful for final year undergraduatesdoing mathematics for economists courses, and postgraduatestudents.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An Archaeology of Capitalism offers an account of landscape and material culture from the later Middle Ages to the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution. In tracing some of the roots of modernity back to the transformation of the countryside, this book seeks an innovative understanding of the transition between feudalism and capitalism, and does so through a unique synthesis of archaeology, economic, social and cultural history, historical geography and architectural history. Medieval and early modern archaeology has in the past focused on small-scale empirical contributions to the study of the period. The approach taken here is both wider-ranging and more ambitious. The author breaks down the dividing lines between archaeological and documentary evidence to provide a vivid reconstruction of pre-industrial material life and of the social and mental processes that came together in the post-medieval period in the transition towards modernity. Matthew Johnson is careful to avoid a simplifying evolutionary explanation, but rather sees the period in terms of a diversity of social and material practices evident in material traces - traces that survive and that, when reused in different contexts, came to mean different things.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume begins in a period in which bitterness and revenge vied with hope and a new ideal of liberty. The Reconstruction imposed by the North upon the South is examined by the author from all points of view. He traces the steps by which the economy recovered and by which the USA emerged as the world's industrial giant. Factors as various as the anarchy of the Wild West and the gold rush, the completion of the railroad system, the maturing of the great centers of learning, the numerous manifestations of opportunity and strength led to the formation of a distinct culture and to a new consciousness of nationhood. They also gave birth, Professor Wright argues, to the American Dream, an elusive idea of such force that it informed much of the twentieth century in the USA and, as American power became pre-eminent, influenced the world at large. After describing the key American involvement in the European, Pacific and Asian wars, and the development of culture, politics, and ideology at home, the author examines the dissipation of that dream in the disillusion and corruption of the Reagan years.
