Book The  Mis Behaviour of Markets

Download or read book The Mis Behaviour of Markets written by Benoit B. Mandelbrot and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This international bestseller, which foreshadowed a market crash, explains why it could happen again if we don't act now. Fractal geometry is the mathematics of roughness: how to reduce the outline of a jagged leaf or static in a computer connection to a few simple mathematical properties. With his fractal tools, Mandelbrot has got to the bottom of how financial markets really work. He finds they have a shifting sense of time and wild behaviour that makes them volatile, dangerous - and beautiful. In his models, the complex gyrations of the FTSE 100 and exchange rates can be reduced to straightforward formulae that yield a much more accurate description of the risks involved.

Book Les grandes compagnies de chemin de fer en France

Download or read book Les grandes compagnies de chemin de fer en France written by Caron and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 2005 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'organisation des chemins de fer en France sous la IIIe République constitue une expérience originale d'économie mixte qu'illustrent les relations entre l'État et les grandes compagnies de chemins de fer créées au milieu du XIXe siècle. Les études financières anciennes du Crédit lyonnais, que présente François Caron, retracent l'histoire contrastée de chacune de ces compagnies et l'évolution complexe du régime des chemins de fer jusqu'à la création de la SNCF en 1937.Y est mis en évidence le rôle majeur, mais très particulier dans l'histoire de l'épargne française, des obligations de chemin de fer, qui ont dominé les émissions de valeurs à revenu fixe jusqu'en 1900. Une réflexion originale est proposée, qui traite des aspects économiques de la grande dépression et de l'influence des stratégies commerciales des compagnies sur l'évolution de l'économie française dans les années 1870-1900. Des explications sont fournies sur la crise financière subie par les compagnies à partir de 1900, qui se traduit, dans un contexte de hausse de la Bourse, par la chute de leurs cours ; dans les années 1920 et 1930, un examen lucide et critique est posé sur la tentative de sauvetage du système à travers la convention de 1921 et sur les incohérences de son application. Ces études ainsi mises en perspective constituent autant d'illustrations du débat toujours actuel sur le rôle de l'État et du Marché. Pages de début Introduction Première partie 1.

Book Arctic Shipping

Download or read book Arctic Shipping written by Frédéric Lasserre and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers both the present state of Arctic shipping and possible future trends with reference to the various sectors of maritime transportation: cruise tourism, container traffic and bulk shipping. Ports are analysed as tools that support the strategies of coastal states to foster the development of resource extraction, enhance the attractiveness of Arctic shipping lanes and enable the control of maritime activities through coast guard deployment. The aim of this book is to draw a picture of the trends of Arctic shipping. How is traffic evolving in Canada’s Arctic, or along the Northern Sea Route? Are there significant differences between bulk and container shipping segments when considering the Arctic market? How are the ports and the hinterland developing and what are the strategies behind those? How is the legal framework shaping the evolution of maritime transportation? The contributors to this book consider all of these questions, and more, as they map out the prospects for Arctic shipping and analyse in detail the development of Arctic shipping as a result of multi-variable interactions. This book will be key reading for industry professionals and post-graduate students alike.

Book Themes in French Culture

Download or read book Themes in French Culture written by Rhoda Métraux and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2001 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Mead collaborated with her long-time colleague Rhoda Métraux in this unique study of French culture. The Hoover Institute at Stanford University originally published this volume, which grew out of the Columbia University project on Research of Contemporary Cultures in 1954. It is one of the few works by American social scientists dealing with broad themes of French life. Mead and Métraux present a vivid picture of the French starting with the organization of the house and its architecture, and drawing original conclusions for the structure of French families and overall cultural values. This work, long out of print, is a fascinating and penetrating portrait of a contemporary European society.

Book Theosophy

    Book Details:
  • Author : René Guénon
  • Publisher : Sophia Perennis
  • Release : 2004
  • ISBN : 9780900588808
  • Pages : 362 pages

Download or read book Theosophy written by René Guénon and published by Sophia Perennis. This book was released on 2004 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late nineteenth century, the Theosophical Society has been a central force in the movement now known as the New Age. Just as the Communist Party was considered 'old hat' by peace activists in the '60s, so the Theosophical Society was looked upon by many in the 'spiritual revolution' of those years as cranky, uninteresting, and passé. But the Society, like the Party, was always there, and-despite its relatively few members-always better organized than anybody else. Since then, the Society's influence has certainly not waned. It plays an important role in today's global interfaith movement, and, since the flowering of the New Age in the '70s, has established increasingly intimate ties with the global elites. And its various spinoffs, such as Elizabeth Clare Prophet's Summit Lighthouse, and Benjamin Crème's continuing attempt to lead a 'World Teacher Maitreya' onto the global stage-just as the Society tried to do in the last century with Krishnamurti-continue to send waves through the sea of 'alternative' spiritualities. Guénon shows how our popular ideas of karma and reincarnation actually owe more to Theosophy than to Hinduism or Buddhism, provides a clear picture of the charlatanry that was sometimes a part of the Society's modus operandi, and gives the early history of the Society's bid for political power, particularly its role as an agent of British imperialism in India. It is fitting that this work should finally appear in English just at this moment, when the influence of pseudo-esoteric spiritualities on global politics is probably greater than ever before in Western history.
