Download or read book Archaeomineralogy written by George R. Rapp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-05-14 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1.1 Prologue What is archaeomineralogy? The term has been used at least once before (Mitchell 1985), but this volume is the first publication to lay down the scientific basis and systematics for this subdiscipline. Students sometimes call an introductory archaeology course "stones and bones." Archaeomineralogy covers the stones component of this phrase. Of course, archaeology consists of a great deal more than just stones and bones. Contemporary archaeology is based on stratigraphy, geomorphology, chronometry, behavioral inferences, and a host of additional disciplines in addition to those devoted to stones and bones. To hazard a definition: archaeomineralogy is the study of the minerals and rocks used by ancient societies over space and time, as implements, orna ments, building materials, and raw materials for ceramics and other processed products. Archaeomineralogy also attempts to date, source, or otherwise char acterize an artifact or feature, or to interpret past depositional alteration of archaeological contexts. Unlike geoarchaeology, archaeomineralogy is not, and is not likely to become, a recognized subdiscipline. Practitioners of archaeomineralogy are mostly geoarchaeologists who specialize in geology and have a strong background in mineralogy or petrology (the study of the origin ofrocks).

Download or read book Flashbulb Memories written by Olivier Luminet and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are Flashbulb memories special or ordinary memory formations? Are emotional, cognitive, or social factors highly relevant for the formation of Flashbulb memories? How can sociological, historical, and cultural issues help us to understand the process? What is the difference between Flashbulb memories, memories of traumatic experiences, and highly vivid personal memories? How can we provide a valid and reliable measure for Flashbulb memories? This edition of Flashbulb Memories: New Challenges and Future Perspectives revisits these questions, considering significant new evidence and research in the field. It now includes additional chapters focusing on experimental investigations, and review studies on positive vs. negative Flashbulb memories. Bringing together leading international researchers, the book presents significant progress in this area of research, which has remained divisive for the past 40 years. The discussion of Flashbulb memories also contributes to the understanding of the general functioning of autobiographical memory. It will provide essential reading for researchers in Flashbulb memories and will be of great interest to those in related areas such as cognitive psychology, social psychology, cross-cultural psychology, sociology, political sciences, and history, as well as clinicians dealing with those who have strong Flashbulb memories after personal traumatic events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Download or read book Judaism and the Challenges of Modern Life written by Moshe Halbertal and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-10-11 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much more than a particular period in world history, modernity has fundamentally transformed how we think and live, and especially how we understand and relate to religious traditions. As the 'ghetto walls' have fallen, both empirically and metaphorically, Judaism is compelled to compete in an open marketplace of ideas. Jews can no longer count on an assumedly necessary Jewish identity or commitment, nor on the rallying force of anti-Semitism to ensure an individual and collective sense of belonging. Rather Jewish moral, spiritual and historical values and ideas must be read with new eyes and challenged to address modernity's proliferating array of questions and realities. The pertinent questions modern Jewry faces are how to embrace modernity as Jews and what such an embrace means for the meaning and future of Jewish life. This collection of essays, authored by scholars of the Shalom Hartman Institute, addresses three critical challenges posed to Judaism by modernity: the challenge of ideas, the challenge of diversity, and the challenge of statehood, and provides insights and ideas for the future direction of Judaism. Providing readers with new insights into Judaism and the Jewish people in contemporary times, the collection explores a wide range of issues that includes: the significance of Israel for the future of Judaism; the Jewish people as a people; the relationship between monotheism and violence; revelation and ethics; Judaism and the feminist challenge; and Judaism and homosexuality.
Download or read book La evaluaci n econ mica de las inversiones written by Juan Fco. Pérez Carballo Veiga and published by ESIC. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la empresa invertir consiste en emprender nuevos proyectos y asignar fondos en congruencia con sus objetivos a largo plazo. Un proyecto de inversión exige la adquisición individualizada de una serie de activos aislados y su integración, para que su conjunto cumpla una funcionalidad específica, capaz de generar unas rentas superiores a la suma de los desembolsos de comprar los activos individuales. El valor que se prevé que creará esa agregación, medido por la diferencia entre el valor actual de las rentas futuras y el de los desembolsos previstos, nace de los recursos materiales y los conocimientos de que se disponga, que son los que le permiten diseñar y organizar los activos aislados para conseguir que rindan más juntos que separados. Con este planteamiento, este Cuaderno de Documentación se centra en el análisis económico de proyectos de inversión y diferencia los estratégicos ‒son los que inciden significativamente sobre los factores clave de éxito de la empresa y afectan a su posición competitiva‒ y los operativos, más orientados a consolidar la posición alcanzada por los logros de los estratégicos. Este análisis económico de un proyecto de inversión evalúa su rentabilidad, su liquidez y su riesgo, sobre la base de que ha de ofrecer unas rentas superiores al desembolso que requiera su ejecución, es decir, que genere más dinero del que absorba, y que ese exceso justifique el riesgo asociado. Para ello, se representa y evalúa el proyecto por sus dimensiones principales: su vida o duración, su tamaño, su movimiento de fondos, que estima la diferencia entre los cobros y los pagos previstos en cada periodo, y sus indicadores de medida. Se revisan en detalle estos indicadores más habituales, sus ventajas y limitaciones y la relación que hay entre ellos. Posteriormente se evalúa el riesgo del proyecto, es decir, la posibilidad de que genere pérdidas significativas, y para ello se describen tres métodos: la formulación de escenarios alternativos, el análisis de la sensibilidad del proyecto a sus principales variables y la utilización de la simulación para configurar el perfil de riesgo del proyecto. Por último, se revisan algunas áreas de la evaluación de proyectos de especial importancia como son: la decisión de cancelar un proyecto; la penalización de los proyectos estratégicos por usar el método del descuento de flujos; el desglose del proyecto por tramos de riesgo y la utilización de tasas de descuento diferentes en cada tramo; la relevancia del riesgo sistemático del proyecto y la necesidad de utilizar tasas diferentes para cada proyecto; y la consideración en el análisis de las opciones que, en general, ofrece todo proyecto y que aportan una flexibilidad que añade valor. Por último, se diferencia entre la rentabilidad económica del proyecto y la rentabilidad de su promotor a fin de mostrar los efectos favorables y las limitaciones del denominado apalancamiento financiero.

Download or read book One Road Many Dreams written by Daniel Drache and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Belt, One Road is China's bold plan to remake the global economy. It's an ambitious strategy with a $2 trillion – and rising – budget. The objective? To challenge the existing economic and political world order. One Road, Many Dreams reveals the true extent of China's ambition, analyses the impact of the One Belt, One Road initiative and assesses its chances of success and failure. This is the Asian century and China has a plan – to remake the world economy. Under its audacious One Belt, One Road strategy, China is investing trillions of dollars in hundreds of projects all around the globe. It's buying up ports, building transport networks and constructing major infrastructure. From hydroelectric plants to oil pipelines, China supplies the labour if needed, the raw materials and the finance, creating customers and boosting its own economy in the process. More than 80 nations have already joined China's increasingly less exclusive club and by 2049, when One Belt, One Road is set to end, its number of members is likely to rival the UN. So far, China has exercised its soft power of debt diplomacy and financial might shrewdly, serving the planet's overlooked middle-income and poor countries. The rest of the world needs to wake up because the scale of One Belt, One Road is unprecedented. Its implications for the global structure of power are potentially seismic as the geopolitical ties between Europe and Asia deepen. Written by three highly regarded political economists, One Road, Many Dreams examines the One Belt, One Road initiative from all angles. It looks at the projects and the players, the alliances and the governance. It explores the opportunities for China and the threat to the West, particularly for Trump's isolationist US administration. At home and abroad, China is staking its credibility as a superpower on One Belt, One Road. Its resources appear limitless, but One Road, Many Dreams asks a tough question: has China overreached? Or can it really pull this off and remake the world economy in its own interests?
