"Palgrave Advances in Global Governance is an authoritative collection devoted to clarifying established understandings of global governance as a distinct form of political activity. Ranging across the actors, arenas, means and purposes of global governance, this incisive collection brings order and clarity to a burgeoning literature"--Provided by publisher.
When the United Nations sanctions a humanitarian relief operation, how can the numerous and diverse UN, Non-Governmental Organizations and military elements be coordinated? What are the practical, political and institutional considerations and impediments? What can be learned from previous experience? This is a volume of practitioner perspectives: the views of distinguished individuals from all of the concerned professions, including former Special Representatives of the Secretary-General and Force Commanders, as well as senior UN officials and representatives of the NGO community.

"Essential reading for anyone in today’s turbulent markets." –Jeffrey E. Garten, Dean, Yale School of Management Praise for MARTIN J. WHITMAN and VALUE INVESTING "An excellent book on investments. But, more importantly, this volume is a primer explaining to Main Street, especially Main Street businesspeople, how Wall Street really operates." –Eugene M. Isenberg, Chairman of the Board, Nabors Industries, Inc. "A must read for all thoughtful investors interested in a rational, disciplined, risk-averse template for successful long-term compounding." –O. Mason Hawkins, CFA, Chairman and CEO, Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. and The Longleaf Partners Funds "This author knows whereof he speaks. His many years of extremely successful experience as a professional manager of investments, his academic training, and his period of teaching at a major university all make their mark on this illuminating volume. It reveals how a bright, analytically minded person with extensive practical experience studies and evaluates investments." –William J. Baumol, Professor and Director, C.V. Starr Center, NYU Professor Emeritus, Princeton University "This book by an experienced and practicing master, Martin Whitman, is a treasure and a reference book on how to think and feel like an owner of a business without the headache of running it day to day." –Papkens Der Torossian, Chairman and CEO, Silicon Valley Group, Inc. "Marty Whitman is renowned for his uncanny instincts and insights in picking bargains in stocks and bonds. His book is a real bargain. To benefit from decades of Marty’s experience is invaluable and to have such a commonsense and realistic approach is an extra dividend." –Milton Cooper, Chairman, Kimco Realty Corporation Please visit our Web site at www.wileyfinance.com
A legendary value investor on security analysis for a modern era This book outlines Whitman's approach to business and security analysis that departs from most conventional security analysts. This approach has more in common with corporate finance than it does with the conventional approach. The key factors in appraising a company and its securities: 1) Credit worthiness, 2) Flows--both cash and earnings, 3) Long-term outlook, 4) Salable assets which can be disposed of without compromising the going concern, dynamics, 5) Resource conversions such as changes in control, mergers and acquisitions, going private, and major changes in assets or in liabilities, and 6) Access to capital.Offers the security analysis value approach Martin Whitman has used successfully since 1986Details Whitman's unconventional approach to security analysis and offers information on the six key factors for appraising a companyContains the three most overemphasized factors used in conventional securities investing Written by Martin J. Whitman and Fernando Diz, "Modern Security Analysis" meets the challenge of today's marketplace by taking into account changes to regulation, market structures, instruments, and the speed and volume of trading.
The exploding market of information technology requires ultrahigh-speed integrated circuits, which imposes formidable challenges in terms of nanofabrication, advanced materials, atomic-scale measurements and modeling. The enormous costs of next-generation lithographic machines to mass produce integrated circuits with sub-100nm resolution justify alternative approaches where the use of advanced materials and techniques for nanofabrication, including epitaxial growth and their powerful modeling, can lead to more cost-effective strategies. This book contains the proceedings of two symposia held at the 1999 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston that address these issues - Advanced Materials and Techniques for Nanolithography, and Atomic-Scale Measurements and Atomistic Models of Epitaxial Growth and Lithography. The reader will find an overview of the state of the art, both theoretical and experimental in this technologically important field. Topics include: advanced techniques for sub-100nm resolution lithography and molecular electronics; epitaxial growth and morphology; novel concepts of resists for nanolithography; atomic-scale characterization and measurement; modeling and atomistic simulations; and nanodevices and nanostructures.
