Jeremy Green's systematic overview of maritime archaeology offers a
step-by-step description of this fast-growing field. With new
information about the use of computers and Global Positioning
Systems, the second edition of this handbook shows how to extract
as much information as possible from a site, how to record and
document the data, and how to act ethically and responsibly with
the artifacts. Treating underwater archaeology as a discipline, the
book demonstrates how archaeologists, "looters," academics, and
governments interact and how the market for archaeological
artifacts creates obstacles and opportunities for these groups.
Well illustrated and comprehensive in its approach to the subject,
this book provides an essential foundation for everybody interested
in underwater environments, submerged land structures, and
conditions created by sea level changes.
Digital Governance provides managers with a simple and jargon-free
introduction to the impact that digital technology can have on the
governance of their organisations. Digital technology is at the
heart of any enterprise today, changing business processes and the
way we work. But this technology is often used inefficiently,
riskily or inappropriately. Worse perhaps, many organisational
leaders fail to grasp the opportunities it offers and thus fail to
"transform" their organisations through the use of technology. This
book provides an explanation of the basic issues around the
opportunities and risks associated with digital technology. It
describes the role that digital technology can play across
organisations (and not just behind the locked doors of the IT
department), giving boards and top management the insight to
develop strategies for investing in and exploiting digital
technology as well as arming them with the knowledge required to
ask the right questions of specialists and to detect when the
answers given are evasive or irrelevant. International in its
scope, this essential book covers the fundamental principles of
digital governance such as leadership, capability, accountability
for value creation and transparency of reporting, integrity and
ethical behaviour.
How America's global financial power was created and shaped through
its special relationship with Britain The rise of global finance in
the latter half of the twentieth century has long been understood
as one chapter in a larger story about the postwar growth of the
United States. The Political Economy of the Special Relationship
challenges this popular narrative. Revealing the Anglo-American
origins of financial globalization, Jeremy Green sheds new light on
Britain's hugely significant, but often overlooked, role in
remaking international capitalism alongside America. Drawing from
new archival research, Green questions the conventional view of
international economic history as a series of cyclical transitions
among hegemonic powers. Instead, he explores the longstanding
interactive role of private and public financial institutions in
Britain and the United States-most notably the close links between
their financial markets, central banks, and monetary and fiscal
policies. He shows that America's unparalleled post-WWII financial
power was facilitated, and in important ways constrained, by
British capitalism, as the United States often had to work with and
through British politicians, officials, and bankers to achieve its
vision of a liberal economic order. Transatlantic integration and
competition spurred the rise of the financial sector, an increased
reliance on debt, a global easing of regulation, the ascendance of
monetarism, and the transition to neoliberalism. From the gold
standard to the recent global financial crisis and beyond, The
Political Economy of the Special Relationship recasts the history
of global finance through the prism of Anglo-American development.
This is the first release from Jeremy M. Green. A collection of
poems about love, fear, and childhood memories.
Smartphones and tablets are increasingly the way people access the
net. But are trade unions and other civil society groups ready for
the change? In this short book, Eric Lee and Jeremy Green look at
the Apple/Google "duopoly," the problem of privacy and the costs of
app development - and what this all means for social change
activists. They explore not only Firefox OS, the new open source
mobile operating system, but also the emerging alternatives -
Ubuntu Touch, Tizen, and Sailfish. They even get a look a the
world's first "ethical" mobile device - the Fairphone.
A gripping historical drama charting one woman's dazzling
trajectory from model to lover to artist, to a tragic figure in her
own right. London, 1849. Lizzie Siddal is plucked from the
obscurity of a bonnet shop to model for the Pre-Raphaelite
Brotherhood - an intoxicating group of young painters bent on
revolutionising the Victorian art world. Inspired by their passion
and ambition, she throws herself headlong into their lives and
their art, nearly dying in the creation of Millais' Ophelia. The
painting is a triumph. But Lizzie wants more and dares to dream of
being an artist herself. Jeremy Green's play Lizzie Siddal
premiered at the Arcola Theatre, London, in November 2013.
