Stock Markets and Corporate Finance: A Primer examines the nature
of the stock market and its implications for corporate management.
In the historical context of financial institutions and business
finance, students are stimulated to learn that traditional totems
of corporate finance can no longer be presented as dogma, but
rather as exceedingly frail models of reality. At the core of this
text is the philosophy that financial institutions and
corporate/business finance are more satisfactorily understood in
relation to one another.This revised text from the 2017 Stock
Markets and Corporate Finance has allowed for a reshaping of the
material with the deletion of a number of chapters considered
'interesting' but overly academic. This additional space has
allowed for an update on the chapter 'Financial Institutions and a
History of Stock Markets' as well as accounting for the
circumstances of a post-COVID-19 era. The chapter 'Financial
Planning and Working Capital' has been reworked to demonstrate how
a firm's financial management team might interrogate its financial
accounts to assess the viability of the firm and the management of
its working capital.From reading this book, the reader will achieve
insight into the behaviour and importance of financial institutions
and firms as they are presented in the media, and how they impact
on their own lives. Exercises and solutions are designed to
re-enforce chapter material, while animated PowerPoint
presentations are available as supplementary material to the book.
The book provides experienced as well as young researchers with a
topical view of the vibrant field of soft nanotechnology. In
addition to elucidating the underlying concepts and principles that
drive continued innovation, major parts of each chapter are devoted
to detailed discussions of potential and already realized
applications of micro- and nanogel- based materials. Examples of
the diverse areas impacted by these materials are biocompatible
coatings for implants, films for controlled drug release,
self-healing soft materials and responsive hydrogels that react to
varying pH conditions, temperature or light.
The Nazi’s never surrendered and planned their 4th Reich using
neurocognitive weapons. Going underground their technology made
it’s way to S. America, the Soviet Union, the United States,
among other places. We all are bound by the new rules of corporate
fascism, long planned by Himmler, and his main strategy for a 4th
Reich, financial control. Are we all just living in a
computer-controlled information battlespace continued from World
War II? This book dissects the matrix of control used by advanced
military industrial powers; it breaks down the technology bit by
bit so you have an understanding how technology is being used in a
battle for your mind. I address these issues from a veteran’s
insight as a former Signal Intelligence specialist and with some
background in the Intelligence Community, I bring forth
countermeasures to this control, showing you how you can safeguard
your mind from these attacks. Countermeasures that are not
available anywhere in the commercial world, yet without them you
will be easy prey for these directed targeted pulse modulated
attacks first used by the Nazis.
Most people in the United States have been trained to recognize
fascism in movements such as Germany’s Third Reich or Italy’s
National Fascist Party, where charismatic demagogues manipulate
incensed, vengeful masses. We rarely think of fascism as linked to
the essence of monopoly-finance capitalism, operating under the
guise of American free-enterprise. But, as Michael Joseph Roberto
argues, this is exactly where fascism’s embryonic forms began
gestating in the United States, during the so-called prosperous
1920s and the Great Depression of the following decade. Drawing
from a range of authors who wrote during the 1930s and early 1940s,
Roberto examines how the driving force of American fascism comes,
not from reactionary movements below, but from the top, namely, Big
Business and the power of finance capital. More subtle than its
earlier European counterparts, writes Roberto, fascist America’s
racist, top-down quashing of individual liberties masqueraded as
“real democracy,” “upholding the Constitution,” and the
pressure to be “100 Percent American.” The Coming of the
American Behemoth is intended as a primer, to forge much-needed
discourse on the nature of fascism, and its particular forms within
the United States. The book focuses on the role of the
capital-labor relationship during the period between the two World
Wars, when the United States became the epicenter of the
world-capitalist system. Concentrating on specific processes, which
he characterizes as terrorist and non-terrorist alike, Roberto
argues that the interwar period was a fertile time for the
incubation of a protean form of tyranny – a fascist behemoth in
the making, whose emergence has been ignored or dismissed by
mainstream historians. This book is a necessity for anyone who
fears America tipping ever closer, in this era of Trump, to
full-blown fascism.
The goal of this book is to introduce readers to the natural
setting of the shoreline of Central California. It concentrates on
the outer shoreline omitting only San Francisco Bay because of its
complexity. Starting in the north with Bodega Head and tracing the
San Andreas Fault Valley it travels south through the familiar
Point Reyes, San Francsico Outer Shore, Monterey Bay, and Big Sur
areas to the lesser-known geomorphologic areas of the Central
Headland and South Bays in Santa Barbara County. With over 183
illustrations (most in full color) it offers the most comprehensive
view of what earth science and satellite images can offer to the
curious reader or traveler exploring this breathtaking coastline.
This book arises from the challenges and difficulties involved in
the evaluation and management of concussions in wheelchair
athletes. Concussions are most readily identified in the ambulatory
population via identifying gross motor instability or when athletes
lose their balance and stumble after a blow to the head or neck
region. Because wheelchair athletes participate in sport while
sitting down and using a wheelchair, clinicians must be extra
attentive to identify a potential concussion. Once a potential
concussion is identified, there are many challenges in evaluation
of the wheelchair athlete population due to their comorbidities. At
baseline, they may have signs and symptoms that mimic a concussion,
and their impairments can also alter their cognitive and balance
assessments. Therefore, it is critical to make a distinction
between these athletes' baseline comorbid impairments and potential
new exam findings in a concussion. Filling in a critical gap in the
literature, this is a concise pocket guide for any clinician,
trainer, or rehabilitation specialist who is involved in wheelchair
sports. It focuses on the unique challenges in evaluating a
concussion in the wheelchair athlete, including baseline testing,
the process of evaluating the signs and symptoms of a concussion,
cognitive and vestibular examination, new clinical techniques
specific to wheelchair athletes, and the return to play process. A
Concussion Management Program (CMP) for use on the sideline as well
as in the office is included. Practical and timely, Concussion
Management for Wheelchair Athletes is a valuable resource to
increase awareness, provide guidance on the unique challenges
within this population, and generate interest in future research
and investigation.
