William N. Fenton
Iroquois Journey: An Anthropologist Remembers (The Iroquoians and Their World)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Iroquois Journey is the warm and illuminating memoir of William N. Fenton (1908–2005), a leading scholar who shaped Iroquois studies and modern anthropology in America. The memoir reveals the ambitions and struggles of the man and the many accomplishments of the anthropologist, the complex and sometimes volatile milieu of Native-white relations in upstate New York in the twentieth century, and key theoretical and methodological developments in American anthropology. Fenton’s memoir, completed shortly before his death, takes us from his ancestors’ lives in the Conewango Valley in western New York to his education at Yale. It affords valuable insights into the decades of his celebrated fieldwork among the Senecas, his distinguished scholarship at the Bureau of American Ethnology in Washington, DC, and his research at the New York State Museum in Albany. Offering portraits of legendary scholars he encountered and enriched through wonderful personal anecdotes, Fenton’s memoir is a… [detailed...]

Irrational Exuberance Reconsidered : The Cross Section of Stock Returns (Springer Finance)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionDoes the stock market overreact? Recent capital market turbulences have cast doubt whether the behaviour of stock markets is in line with rational investor behaviour. To which extent stock returns are predictable is the question at the heart of the controversy between the paradigms of rational asset pricing and behavioural finance. This new and revised edition discusses the empirical evidence from both perspectives. Theory and empirical analysis are blended with feedback from security analysts to offer a road towards a deeper understanding of the underlying forces to drive performance in the stock market. In his book „Irrational Exuberance` Robert Shiller offered an analysis of the US stock market in 2000. The focus of his book was the level of the stock market, which he thought to be overvalued at the time. This monograph offers a complementary analysis of the cross section of stock returns.

Robert J. Shiller
Irrational Exuberance

2005 y.
Publisher: Broadway
Description: As Robert Shiller`s new 2009 preface to his prescient classic on behavioral economics and market volatility asserts, the irrational exuberance of the stock and housing markets `has been ended by an economic crisis of a magnitude not seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s.` As we all, ordinary Americans and professional investors alike, crawl from the wreckage of our heedless bubble economy, the shrewd insights and sober warnings, and hard facts that Shiller marshals in this book are more invaluable than ever. The original and bestselling 2000 edition of Irrational Exuberance evoked Alan Greenspan`s infamous 1996 use of that phrase to explain the alternately soaring and declining stock market. It predicted the collapse of the tech stock bubble through an analysis of the structural, cultural, and psychological factors behind levels of price growth not reflected in any other sector of the economy. In the second edition (2005), Shiller folded real estate into his… [detailed...]

Irrational Markets and The Illusion of Prosperity

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Irrational exuberance`--the now-famous utterance of Alan Greenspan, referred to the seemingly unending upward spiral of the stock market. Of course, as every investor knows, the stock market plummeted after this comment was made, only to recover and exceed every known record over the next year. Nothing, it appears, could keep this market down: not inflation worries, concerns over the Asian economic crisis, lack of earnings in many companies, nor elevated stock prices. Nothing, it seems, could stopinvestors in their passion for bidding up prices of stocks, especially technology and telecommunications. But beware: IRRATIONAL EXUBERANCE AND THE ILLUSION OF PROSPERITY warns that Americans are living in an economic dreamland, and that the long bull market and low unemployment have made us immune to economic reality--in short, we`re in for a rude awakening. Based on extensive research, this provocative book is sobering reading for any current or would-be investor. [detailed...]

Amelia Jones
Irrational Modernism : A Neurasthenic History of New York Dada

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn Irrational Modernism , Amelia Jones gives us a history of New York Dada, reinterpreted in relation to the life and works of Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven. Jones enlarges our conception of New York Dada beyond the male avant-garde heroics of Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, and Francis Picabia to include the rebellious body of the Baroness. If they practiced Dada, she lived it, with her unorthodox personal life, wild assemblage objects, radical poetry and prose, and the flamboyantself-displays by which she became her own work of art. Through this reinterpretation, Jones not only provides a revisionist history of an art movement but also suggests a new method of art history. Jones argues that the accepted idea of New York Dada as epitomized by Duchamp`s readymades and their implicit cultural critique does not take into consideration the contradictions within the movement -- its misogyny, for example -- or the social turmoil of the period caused by… [detailed...]

Irreducible Characters of the Special Linear Group: Over the Integers Modulo Prime Powers

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book covers the construction of irreducible characters of the 2 by 2 and 3 by 3 special linear group over the integers modulo a power of an odd prime. In the 2 by 2 case a construction of every irreducible character of this classical group is given, without calculating the character values. The first chapter starts off with a brief introduction into this group and introduces all the necessary character theory. To produce each irreducible character a normal subgroup of our group is found and cleverly mapped into the complex numbers. Clifford Theory is then used to find the irreducible character of interest. After counting all the characters of each degree and comparing them to the number of conjugacy classes it is shown that all the irreducible characters have been found. The last chapter shows that this method can extend to the 3 by 3 case. Throughout the book many details are given to provide clear and concise reasoning. [detailed...]

Description: The most significant conquest of the twentieth century may well have been the triumph of American consumer society over Europe`s bourgeois civilization. It is this little-understood but world-shaking campaign that unfolds in Irresistible Empire , Victoria de Grazia`s brilliant account of how the American standard of living defeated the European way of life and achieved the global cultural hegemony that is both its great strength and its key weakness today. De Grazia describes how, as America`s market empire advanced with confidence through Europe, spreading consumer-oriented capitalism, all alternative strategies fell before it--first the bourgeois lifestyle, then the Third Reich`s command consumption, and finally the grand experiment of Soviet-style socialist planning. Tracing the peculiar alliance that arrayed New World salesmanship, statecraft, and standardized goods against the Old World`s values of status, craft, and… [detailed...]

The topics are political, economic, philosophic, linguistic, and personal. Should Chinese art be discussed using Western methods such as psychoanalysis or deconstruction?

Is Compliance with International Accounting Standards Beneficial?

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This study provides evidence regarding the benefits of complying with International Accounting Standards (IAS), now known as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Companies expend considerable resources on financial reporting. These resources may or may not be recouped through benefits such as lower costs of capital. Using three proxies for information asymmetry, which has been shown to impact a firm`s cost of capital, this study shows that the extent of compliance with IAS apparently does not impact these proxies. A related investigation of the factors associated with IAS compliance for this sample of companies suggests that compliance seems to be related primarily to the country of domicile. Firms from Switzerland comply with IAS to a greater degree than firms from France and Sweden. When an auditor confirms the use of IAS, it is also a strong indicator of relatively higher levels of IAS compliance. Overall, however, the results of this study place in question the… [detailed...]
