Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Does the future exist already What is space Are time machines physically possible What is quantum mechanical reality like Are there many universes Is there a 'true' geometry of the universe Why does there appear to be an arrow of time Do humans play a special role in the world In this unique introductory book, Dean Rickles guides the reader through these and other core questions that keep philosophers of physics up at night. He discusses the three pillars of modern physics (quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and the theories of relativity), in addition to more cutting-edge themes such as econophysics, quantum gravity, quantum computers, and gauge theories. The book's approach is based on the idea that philosophy of physics is a kind of 'interpretation game' in which we try to map physical theories onto our world. But the rules of this game often lead to a multiplicity of possible victors: rarely do we encounter a simple answer.The Philosophy of Physics offers a highly accessible introduction to the latest developments in this exciting field. Written in a lively style, with many visual examples, it will appeal to beginner-level students in both physics and philosophy.; Existiert die Zukunft bereits Was ist der Raum Sind Zeitmaschinen möglich Wie sieht die Realität der Quantenmechanik aus Gibt es viele Universen Warum scheint es, dass ein Zeitpfeil existiert Spielen die Menschen eine besondere Rolle in der Welt In diesem einzigartigen Einführungsbuch führt Dean Rickles den Leser durch diese und andere Kernfragen, die Philosophen der Physik nicht ruhen lassen. Rickles erörtert drei Pfeiler der modernen Physik (Quantenmechanik, statistische Mechanik und Relativitätstheorien), neben weiteren noch aktuelleren Themen wie Econophysik, Quantengravität, Quantencomputer und Eichtheorien. Das Buch gründet auf der Vorstellung, dass die Philosophie der Physik eine Art Interpretationsspiel ist, bei dem versucht wird, physikalische Theorien auf unsere Welt zu übertragen. Aber die Spielregeln führen oft zu einer Vielzahl von Siegern: Eine einfache Antwort lässt sich selten finden.The Philosophy of Physics ist eine überaus verständliche Einführung in die neuesten Entwicklungen dieses Fachgebiets. Das Buch ist lebendig geschrieben, mit vielen visuellen Beispielen, und wird Studenten am Anfang ihres Studiums der Philosophie oder Physik gefallen.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Winning at Active Management conducts an in-depth examination of crucial issues facing the investment management industry, and will be a valuable resource for asset managers, institutional consultants, managers of pension and endowment funds, and advisers to individual investors. Bill Priest, Steve Bleiberg and Mike Welhoelter all experienced investment professionals, consider the challenges of managing portfolios through complex markets, as well as managing the cultural and technological complexities of the investment business.The book's initial section highlights the importance of culture within an investment firm - the characteristics of strong cultures, the imperatives of communication and support, and suggestions for leading firms through times of both adversity and prosperity.It continues with a thorough discussion of active portfolio management for equities. The ongoing debate over active versus passive management is reviewed in detail, drawing on both financial theory and real-world investing results. The book also contrasts traditional methods of portfolio management, based on accounting metrics and price-earnings ratios, with Epoch Investment Partners' philosophy of investing on free cash flow and appropriate capital allocation.Winning at Active Management closes with an inquiry into the crucial and growing role of technology in investing. The authors assert that the most effective portfolio strategies result from neither pure fundamental nor quantitative methods, but instead from thoughtful combinations of analyst and portfolio manager experience and skill with the speed and breadth of quantitative analysis. The authors illustrate the point with an example of an innovative Epoch equity strategy based on economic logic and judgment, but enabled by information technology.Winning at Active Management also offers important insights into selecting active managers - the market cycle factors that have held back many managers' performance in recent years, and the difficulty of identifying those firms that truly possess investment skill. Drawing on behavioral economic theory and empirical research, the book makes a convincing case that many active investment managers can and do generate returns superior to those of the broad market.…
