Neil Woodford was the UK's most celebrated fund manager. Savers who
invested GBP1,000 with him in 1988 saw their money increase to
GBP25,000 over 25 years. At the peak of his career he was managing
GBP33 billion for hundreds of thousands of investors. When he
started his own fund management company in 2014, within just a few
weeks it had attracted GBP5bn from his loyal fan base, including
some of the City of London's biggest hitters. Life was good. Away
from work he was collecting high-performance supercars and chunky
designer watches; he was rarely out of the saddle of his favourite
horse. The BBC called him the "man who can't stop making money".
And then it all came to a sudden stop. This book tells the dramatic
untold story behind Woodford's stunning rise and fall, and reveals
why his multi-billion-pound investment empire really collapsed in
such an abrupt and catastrophic manner. In a fast-moving and
compelling narrative, reporter David Ricketts takes readers inside
the rooms where extraordinary sums of other people's money were
wagered, trapped and, ultimately, lost, in a scandal still sending
shockwaves through the world of finance. Thanks to unique and
unprecedented access to the most important players, we meet an
eccentric cast of characters and go inside the institutions
involved, from Woodford's own firm to those that made huge sums
endorsing him - as well as those who failed to raise the alarm
before it was too late.
This guide emphasizes jitter for time domain applications so that
there is not a need to translate from frequency domain. This
provides a more direct path to the results for designing in an
application area where performance is specified in the time domain.
The book includes classification of oscillator types and an
exhaustive guide to existing research literature. It also includes
classification of measurement techniques to help designers
understand how the eventual performance of circuit design is
verified.

Advanced Operative Dentistry: A Practical Approach is a brand new
volume that addresses the use of fixed prosthodontics in a single
handy reference source. Prepared by editors and contributors of
international renown, this volume places unique emphasis on the
biological basis of effective treatment planning by describing the
diagnosis, aetiology, risk assessment and preventive management of
diseases and disorders and how these factors are integral to
predictable long-term patient outcomes. Advanced Operative
Dentistry: A Practical Approach also gives clear advice on the
selection and use of modern dental materials and describes how
teeth are prepared - and to what extent - for indirect restorations
such as crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays and onlays. The book also
explores the use of complex indirect fixed prosthodontics which
brings with it specific issues of restoration design, retention and
occlusal management. Clearly written and evidenced-based
throughout, this practical full colour step-by-step guide will be
ideal for undergraduate dental students, vocational trainees and
practitioners undertaking post-graduate exams worldwide. Prepared
by editors and contributors of international renown Contains an
abundance of full colour, clinical illustrations to show the
results that can be achieved in real life Describes how to achieve
the best appearance in order to meet increasing patient
expectations Discusses the use of fixed prosthodontics in one
volume and how fixed and removable prosthodontics can be integrated
Gives unique emphasis on the preventative, biological approach to
the use of fixed prosthodontics in order to ensure positive
long-term treatment outcomes Clearly illustrates why aspects of
tooth preparation are necessary and how the construction of
restorations influences their fit Provides an integrated,
multidisciplinary step-by-step guide to the provision of indirect
fixed restorations Provides guidance on effective communication
with laboratory staff to ensure high-quality tooth preparation
Describes the correct handling of materials and restorations when
being fitted Presents the latest findings regarding the use of
contemporary materials and techniques - such as the use of Expasyl,
Protemp temporary crowns, CAD and CAM crowns Comprehensive coverage
of the subject area makes cross-referencing to other books
unnecessary
