The Atlas of Unusual Languages - An Exploration of Language, People and Geography (Paperback): Zoran Nikolic, Collins Books The Atlas of Unusual Languages - An Exploration of Language, People and Geography (Paperback)

The ideal gift for anyone interested in language, geography and people. We communicate through the spoken and written word and language has evolved over the centuries. Many languages have survived although only in small pockets throughout the world. This book explores a selection of those languages. Did you know that some people believe that the speakers of Burushaski, the language of a distant valley below the Himalayas, are actually the descendants of the soldiers of Alexander the Great? And that, even though the Venetian language is not official in Venice, it is spoken in several locations in Latin America? From 'language isolates' such as Basque, spoken in Spain and France, and Ainu in Japan and Russia, to language islands including a Welsh speaking colony in Argentina-discover how geography shapes communication and societies. What can we learn from the existence of Gutnish, a dialect of the extinct Eastern Germanic Gothic, on several islands of the Baltic Sea? And how widely spoken is Cornish? These and many more intriguing linguistic questions are answered in this absorbing exploration of lesser known languages.

A beautifully presented gift for anyone with an intrigue for geographical curiosities. This beautifully designed book presents unusual borders, enclaves and exclaves, divided or non-existent cities and islands. Numerous conflicts have left countries divided and often shattered. Remnants of countries can by design or accident be left behind as a legal anomaly in this complex world. Most people believe that a country's borders are clearly defined: just lines that separate countries. Everything on one side of the line belongs to one country and everything on the other side belongs to another country. This might be the case most of the time, but there are unusual exceptions to this unwritten rule. Examples include: * Campione d'Italia where Italian residents have to travel 15km through Switzerland to reach the nearest available Italian territory * Tomb of Suleyman Shah which is a tiny Turkish enclave within Syria which was moved closer to Turkey when Lake Assad was created but still stayed in Syria * Pheasant Island which for half a year belongs to the Spanish city of Irun, and the remaining half, to its French twin-town, Hendaye * Canadian Stanstead and American Beebe Plain where the boundary line runs along the centre of the main street, so that the houses on one side of the street are in Canada and on the other in the United States These and many more instances are captured in this fascinating book full of strange geographical intrigue. International Cartographic conference 2021 overall winner of the atlas category and shortlisted for the 2020 Edward Stanford Travel Writing.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich BWL - Investition und Finanzierung, Note: 1,3, DIPLOMA Fachhochschule Nordhessen; Zentrale, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Seit Mitte der siebziger Jahre befinden sich die Volkswirtschaften der hochentwickelten Lander in einem permanenten Strukturwandel. Dieser Wandel verlangt tiefe Einschnitte in die bestehenden Strukturen. Frei nach Schumpeter befinden sich Unternehmen im Prozess der kreativen Zerstorung." Dieser Prozess bietet neue Chancen fur die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung, birgt aber andererseits eine Gefahr in sich, falls der Wandel ungleichmassig verlaufen sollte. Um ein Gleichgewicht herzustellen zwischen, auf einer Seite Auflosung, Umstrukturierung oder Umwandlung alter Unternehmen und auf der anderen Seite, Entstehung neuer Unternehmen, ist eine vernunftige Finanzierung notwendig. Nach der Liberalisierung des Finanzmarktes und der Auflosung der Deutschland AG, bieten sich dafur diverse Finanzierungsalternativen. Der neuen Wachstumstheorie und Informationsokonomie folgend, beeinflussen die Finanzmarkte gesamtwirtschaftliches Wachstum. Von dieser These ausgehend, wird einerseits der Einfluss auf die Effizienz und Stabilitat der Finanzmarkte untersucht, andererseits, entsprechend der oben erwahnten Theorien, die konkrete Auswirkung auf die volkswirtschaftlichen Kennzahlen sowohl aus mikrookonomischer, als auch aus makrookonomischer Sicht. Im ersten Teil werden Institute Private Equity und Venture Capital voneinander abgegrenzt. In diesem Zusammenhang werden auch die Finanzierungsphasen der Unternehmen erklart. Es wird die Besonderheit der Wertschopfung beleuchtet. Im zweiten Teil wird auf die Dynamik der internationalen Finanzmarkte hingewiesen. Dazu werden die Einflussfaktoren dieser Dynamik ermittelt. Es wird weiterhin die Kapitalmarktstruktur in Deutschland analysiert. Zudem werden die Finanzmarktfunktionen definiert. Um diese Funktionen erfullen zu konnen, sollen die Finanzmarkte effizient und stabil sein. Hie
