From the Stock Exchange to Westminster, the fantasy of an eventual
'return to normal' is still alive and well. But the economic world as
we know it - and the rules that govern it - are over. And few are
prepared.
Here, market risk expert Lawrence McDonald unveils the predictive model
he developed in the aftermath of Lehman Brothers’ collapse, outlining
actionable trading ideas for a radically reshaped economy. Readers will
discover:
- Why inflation will stay near 3-5% for the next decade
- Why hard assets and rare minerals like lithium and cobalt will
outperform growth stocks and passive investment strategies
- Why America will likely lose its position as a global superpower
and holder of the world's premier reserve currency
Rather than merely doomsaying, How to Listen When Markets Speak equips
readers to make sense of our current moment, resist reactionary
narratives and baseless analysis and pounce on a new investing playbook.
What is absence? What is presence? How are these two phenomena
related? Is absence merely not being present? This book examines
these and other questions relating to the role of absence and
presence in everyday politics. Absence and presence are used as
political tools in global events and everyday life to reinforce
ideas about space, society, and belonging. The Politics of Hiding,
Invisibility, and Silence contains six empirically-focussed
chapters introducing case study locations and contexts from around
the world. These studies examine how particular groups'
relationships with places and spaces are characterized by
experiences that are neither wholly present nor wholly absent. Each
author demonstrates the variety of ways in which absence and
presence are experienced - through silence, forgetting,
concealment, distance, and the virtual - and constituted - through
visual, aural, and technological. Such accounts also raise
philosophical questions about representation and belonging: what
must remain absent, and what is allowed to be present? Who decides,
and how? Whose voices are heard? Recognizing the complexity of
these questions, The Politics of Hiding, Invisibility, and Silence
provides a significant contribution in reconciling theorizations of
absence with everyday life. This book was published as a special
issue of Space and Polity.

Joyce's engagement with Dante is a crucial component of all of his
work. This title reconsiders the responses to Dante in Joyce's work
from A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man to Finnegans Wake. It
presents that encounter as an historically complex and contextually
determined interaction reflecting the contested development of
Dante's reputation, readership and textuality throughout the
nineteenth century. This process produced a 'Dante with a
difference', a uniquely creative and unorthodox construction of the
poet which informed Joyce's lifelong engagement with such works as
the Vita Nuova and the Commedia. Tracing the movement through
Joyce's writing on exile as a mode of alienation and charting his
growing interest in ideas of community, Joyce's Dante shows how
awareness of his changing reading of Dante can alter our
understanding of one of the Irish writer's lasting thematic
preoccupations.
These enchanting chess pieces consist of elaborately worked walrus
ivory and whales' teeth in the form of seated kings and queens,
mitred bishops, knights on their mounts, standing warders and pawns
in the shape of obelisks. They were found in the vicinity of Uig on
the Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, in mysterious circumstances some
time before 11th April 1831. Various stories have evolved to
explain why they were concealed there, and how they were
discovered. This book takes a lively look at the many theories
surrounding the ownership of the pieces, why they were hidden and
how exactly they were discovered, and places them in the wider
context of the ancient game of chess and secular culture of the
Middle Ages.

The book treats the theory of attractors for non-autonomous
dynamical systems. The aim of the book is to give a coherent
account of the current state of the theory, using the framework of
processes to impose the minimum of restrictions on the nature of
the non-autonomous dependence. The book is intended as an
up-to-date summary of the field, but much of it will be accessible
to beginning graduate students. Clear indications will be given as
to which material is fundamental and which is more advanced, so
that those new to the area can quickly obtain an overview, while
those already involved can pursue the topics we cover more deeply.

The lectures in this volume were given as part of a NATO Advanced
Study Institute From finite to infinite dimensional dynamical
systems held at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical
Sciences, Cambridge, U. K., between 21 August and 1 September 1995.
The NATO ASI brought together over sixty young scientists and
mathematicians from all over the world to listen to expository
talks from leading experts in the field, and also gave them the
opportunity to present some of their own results as posters or as
lectures. We hope that what they learned both formally and in
informal conversations, and the friendships made during their stay
in Cambridge, will remain important to them for many years to come.
The NATO ASI formed part of a larger six month project at the New
ton Institute on the same topic, and many of the participants were
able to stay on in Cambridge to attend a Euro-Conference and both
hear and contribute to the research in progress which was reported.
We are grateful to all the bodies which helped fund these
enterprises; principally, of course, NATO, but the European Union,
CNRS (France) and the London Mathe matical Society all made
contributions which allowed participants to stay on for the
research conference and the Leverhume Trust funded the visits of
participants from the former Soviet Union."
This edited volume addresses the root causes of Africa's persistent
poverty through an investigation of its longue duree history. It
interrogates the African past through disease and demography,
institutions and governance, African economies and the impact of
the export slave trade, colonialism, Africa in the world economy,
and culture's influence on accumulation and investment. Several of
the chapters take a comparative perspective, placing Africa's
developments aside other global patterns. The readership for this
book spans from the informed lay reader with an interest in Africa,
academics and undergraduate and graduate students, policy makers,
and those in the development world."
