Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The passage from 'solid' to 'liquid'modernity has created a new and unprecedented setting forindividual life pursuits, confronting individuals with a series ofchallenges never before encountered. Social forms and institutionsno longer have enough time to solidify and cannot serve as framesof…reference for human actions and long-term life plans, soindividuals have to find other ways to organise their lives. Theyhave to splice together an unending series of short-term projectsand episodes that don't add up to the kind of sequence towhich concepts like 'career' and 'progress'could meaningfully be applied. Such fragmented lives requireindividuals to be flexible and adaptable - to be constantlyready and willing to change tactics at short notice, to abandoncommitments and loyalties without regret and to pursueopportunities according to their current availability. In liquidmodernity the individual must act, plan actions and calculate thelikely gains and losses of acting (or failing to act) underconditions of endemic uncertainty.Zygmunt Bauman's brilliant writings on liquid modernityhave altered the way we think about the contemporary world. In thisshort book he explores the sources of the endemic uncertainty whichshapes our lives today and, in so doing, he provides the readerwith a brief and accessible introduction to his highly originalaccount, developed at greater length in his previous books, of lifein our liquid modern times.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book will revolutionize the way you describe, plan and improve your business.Developed over thirty years and proven in over 500 projects within major organizations, xBML is the world's first scientific method for describing business. Using a system of diagrams based on an intuitive framework of… five Ws (Who does What, with Which information, Where and When ), xBML gives companies a comprehensive view of their enterprise - one that depicts precisely the complex relationships between operations, information, resources and technology within a multi-dimensional model. In essence, it unlocks the genetic code of the organization. And, like a genetic code, this information can then be called upon repeatedly to describe, to plan and to improve.It's time to throw out the flow charts. The dream of accurately describing a business once, in terms that make sense to everyone, and then re-using this information time and again is at last a reality. xBML bridges the enterprise divide, providing the means for clear, concise communication between all members of an organization. Major companies have already saved over $2 billion using the approach, and thousands of individuals have been trained in the methodology. Read this book, and discover why unlocking your organization's Business Genetics will lead to quantifiable business improvement.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book is an attempt to reclaim the knowledge of God as just that - knowledge.It is no secret that theology is no longer considered a necessary subject in the modern university. Why is it assumed that the kind of knowledge theology represents is in some fashion deficient when compared to ot…her subjects Hauerwas argues that theology is often excluded from the knowledges of the modern university because those knowledges are constituted by an understanding of time necessary to make economic and state realities seem inevitable. Yet it is precisely this difference that makes Christian theology, while being governed by a different understanding of time than that characteristic of the other disciplines of the university, an essential resource for the university to achieve its task - that is, to form people who are able to imagine a different world through critical and disciplined reflection.Hauerwas subsequently challenges the domesticated character of much recent theology by suggesting how prayer and the love of the poor are essential practices that should shape the theological task. Hauerwas makes this case by conversing with figures as diverse as Luigi Giussani, David Burrell, Stanley Fish, Wendell Berry, Jeff Stout, Rowan Williams and Sheldon Wolin.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - HOW TO MAKE OPPORTUNITY EQUAL 'Paul Gomberg makes a powerful and provocative case that real equality of opportunity can only be achieved by overturning the social division of labor that unfairly handicaps not just black but the working class in general.' Charles W. Mills, University of Illinois at C…hicago 'An important and original contribution to contemporary debates about justice in political philosophy; and accessible introduction to those debates for students and the lay reader; and a powerful and important challenge to policymakers, educators and employers, to think hard about their responsibilities for enabling people to lead flourishing lives.' Harry Brighouse, University of Wisconsin-Madison 'In this impressive book, Paul Gomberg argues ardently, with great optimism, and with philosophical and sociological sophistication, for a radical new theory of egalitarian justice.' David Copp, University of Florida Distributive injustices such as low pay, inferior healthcare and housing, as well as diminished opportunities in school continue to blight the lives of millions of the urban poor in America and beyond. This book announces a new theory of justice. Paul Gomberg: - focuses on how race and class structure unequal life prospects - shows how human society can be organized in a way that does not socialize children for lives of routine labor - maintains that true equality of opportunity comes only when all labor, both routine and complex, is shared - proposes a new paradigm for the theory of justice. While Rawls, Sen, Nozick, and Walzer conceive justice as addressing how various goods are fairly obtained or distributed, Gomberg argues that justice in distribution must advance contributive opportunities and duties. On Gomberg's contributive theory of justice, each person contributes to society not for individual material gain, but from a sense of what is required in order to build just relations with others. Passionate and radical, but rigorously argued, this book makes a vital and original contribution to philosophy and social thought.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Bayesian methods combine information available from data with any prior information available from expert knowledge. The Bayes linear approach follows this path, offering a quantitative structure for expressing beliefs, and systematic methods for adjusting these beliefs, given observational data. Th…e methodology differs from the full Bayesian methodology in that it establishes simpler approaches to belief specification and analysis based around expectation judgements. Bayes Linear Statistics presents an authoritative account of this approach, explaining the foundations, theory, methodology, and practicalities of this important field.The text provides a thorough coverage of Bayes linear analysis, from the development of the basic language to the collection of algebraic results needed for efficient implementation, with detailed practical examples.The book covers:\* The importance of partial prior specifications for complex problems where it is difficult to supply a meaningful full prior probability specification.\* Simple ways to use partial prior specifications to adjust beliefs, given observations.\* Interpretative and diagnostic tools to display the implications of collections of belief statements, and to make stringent comparisons between expected and actual observations.\* General approaches to statistical modelling based upon partial exchangeability judgements.\* Bayes linear graphical models to represent and display partial belief specifications, organize computations, and display the results of analyses.Bayes Linear Statistics is essential reading for all statisticians concerned with the theory and practice of Bayesian methods. There is an accompanying website hosting free software and guides to the calculations within the book.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In recent years the significance of Gaussian processes to communication networks has grown considerably. The inherent flexibility of the Gaussian traffic model enables the analysis, in a single mathematical framework, of systems with both long-range and short-range dependent input streams. Large Dev…iations for Gaussian Queues demonstrates how the Gaussian traffic model arises naturally, and how the analysis of the corresponding queuing model can be performed. The text provides a general introduction to Gaussian queues, and surveys recent research into the modelling of communications networks. Coverage includes: - Discussion of the theoretical concepts and practical aspects related to Gaussian traffic models. - Analysis of recent research asymptotic results for Gaussian queues, both in the large-buffer and many-sources regime. - An emphasis on rare-event analysis, relying on a variety of asymptotic techniques. - Examination of single-node FIFO queuing systems, as well as queues operating under more complex scheduling disciplines, and queuing networks. - A set of illustrative examples that directly relate to important practical problems in communication networking. - A large collection of instructive exercises and accompanying solutions. Large Deviations for Gaussian Queues assumes minimal prior knowledge. It is ideally suited for postgraduate students in applied probability, operations research, computer science and electrical engineering. The book's self-contained style makes it perfect for practitioners in the communications networking industry and for researchers in related areas.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Serendipitous Path to Effective Problem-Solving and Planning for Complex SystemsThis innovative book enables you and your organization to pursue goals and achieve success in ways that you might never have imagined. It does not prescribe a rigid methodology and plan. Instead, the author sets fort…h a process known as Human-Centered Design, which focuses on enhancing the abilities and overcoming the limitations of people within organizations. This process enables you to move forward and, at the same time, be on the alert for and recognize serendipitous events that enable you to solve complex systems problems in unexpected ways in order to meet and surpass your goals.Specifically, the process described in this book helps you discover critical distinctions and connections across industries, disciplines, and cultures. As a result, unexpected hybrid approaches emerge, forming the basis of new insights and ideas. These hybrid approaches, or transdisciplinary approaches as termed by the author, represent an integrated framework populated with concepts from a range of disciplines.At the heart of this book is an understanding of how people operate, maintain, design, research, and manage complex systems. This understanding stems from author William Rouse's almost four decades of experience in the fields of individual and organizational performance, decision support systems, and information systems. His approach has proven successful with a broad range of organizations, from private industry to government agencies to academia.Case studies and examples are presented throughout the text, illustrating how Human-Centered Design works in practice. If you are seeking to harness the power of the individuals in your organization to make your enterprise more effective, efficient, and successful, this text sets you on the right path.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Structured Finance: The Object Orientated Approach is aimed at both the finance and IT professionals involved in the structured finance business with the intention of sharing common concepts and language within the industry. The financial community (structurers, pricers and risk managers) vie…w structured products as collections of objects under the so-called replicating portfolio paradigm. The IT community use object oriented programming (OOP) techniques to improve the software updating and maintenance process. For them structured products are collections of objects as well. Despite use of the same object concept, it looks like communication between these different professional functions has been problematic. Recently, construction of standard data structures known as FpML has begun to lay out a common definition of objects, at least for plain vanilla derivatives, both between IT and financial people and across different market players. Along this line, this book builds upon the concept of object to provide frontier treatment of structured finance issues relevant to both communities engaged in building, pricing and hedging products and people engaged in designing and up-dating the corresponding software.Structured Finance: The Object Orientated Approach will enable you to:\* decompose a structured product in elementary constituent financial objects and risk factors (replicating portfolio)\* understand the basics of object oriented programming (OOP) applied to the design of structured cash flows objects\* build your own objects and to understand FpML data structures available for standard products\* gauge risk exposures of the objects in structured products to: risk factors, their volatilities and the correlation among them (which factor are you long/short Are you long/short volatility Are you long/short correlation )\* update your risk management system to accommodate structured products with non linear exposures and to design objects to represent, price and hedge, counterparty risk.
