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 - 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 - Relevance, first published in 1986, was named as one of the most important and influential books of the decade in the Times Higher Educational Supplement. This revised edition includes a new Preface outlining developments in Relevance Theory since 1986, discussing the more serious criticisms of the theory, and envisaging possible revisions or extensions.The book sets out to lay the foundation for a unified theory of cognitive science. The authors argue than human cognition has a goal: we pay attention only to information which seems to us relevant. To communicate is to claim someone s attention, and hence to imply that the information communicated is relevant. Thus, a single property - relevance is seen as the key to human communication and cognition.A second important feature of the book is its approach to the study of reasoning. It elucidates the role of background or contextual information in spontaneous inference, and shows that non-demonstrative inference processes can be fruitfully analysed as a form of suitably constrained guesswork. It directly challenges recent claims that human central thought processes are likely to remain a mystery for some time to come.Thirdly, the authors offer new insight into language and literature, radically revising current view on the nature and goals of verbal comprehension, and in particular on metaphor, irony, style, speech acts, presupposition and implicature.

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.
