Rising Tides: A History of the Environmental Revolution and Visions for an Ecological Age

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionEven as politicians continue to dismiss the notion of global warming, climatic change is turning millions into refugees. In Rising Tides, Rory Spowers challenges the basic assumptions of our Western worldview, exposing the fundamental flaws in a system that believes in unlimited economic growth within a finite world, a system that confuses financial worth with the real wealth of the natural systems upon which we all depend. Rising Tides is at once a concise and well-written history of theenvironmental movement, an expose of current practices, and a manifesto for positive change. It is packed full of details on who is doing what to damage our environment and health and, also, how they are being opposed and by whom. The book contains an invaluable `Environmental Directory` with details of environmental groups, activist networks, and pressure organizations involved in land reform, alternative technology, and organic-food research. The rift is growing between a powerful… [detailed...]

Description: Workers have basic rights that should not be violated, notwithstanding the geographical locale of their work. But those rights often appear to conflict with the economic and commercial needs of both developing nations and multinational enterprises. Creative approaches are necessary if workers` rights are to coexist with commercial success, or even survival. This book introduces the current global labor milieu and showcases innovative solutions via original case studies (e.g., Nike, Levi Strauss), which demonstrate how multinational enterprises can respect worker rights while benefiting from the economic advantages of a global labor market.

Rising from the Rails: Pullman Porters and the Making of the Black Middle Class

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: When George Pullman began recruiting Southern blacks as porters in his luxurious new sleeping cars, the former slaves suffering under Jim Crow laws found his offer of a steady job and worldly experience irresistible. They quickly signed up to serve as maid, waiter, concierge, nanny, and occasionally doctor and undertaker to cars full of white passengers, making the Pullman Company the largest employer of African American men in the country by the 1920s. In the world of the Pullman sleeping car, where whites and blacks lived in close proximity, porters developed a unique culture marked by idiosyncratic language, railroad lore, and shared experience. They called difficult passengers `Mister Charlie`, exchanged stories about Daddy Jim, the legendary first Pullman porter, and learned to distinguish generous tippers such as Humphrey Bogart from skinflints like Babe Ruth. At the same time, they played important social, political, and economic roles, carrying jazz and blues to outlying… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description * Is risk always measurable? * Why are some risks more important? * Do we take a lot more risks now? * On whom can we rely for advice? * How critical is the sociology of risk for understanding contemporary society? The term `risk` occurs throughout contemporary social analysis and political commentary. It is now virtually a legal requirement that large organizations throughout the world establish formal risk assessment and risk management procedures. Increasingly dense communication and media networks alert huge numbers of people and organizations to a widening range of threats and possibilities. A basic understanding of the risks themselves may require specific technical knowledge of basic chemistry, or the psychology of motivation, or of contrasting interpretations of injustices deep within the past. However, at the same time as attending to specific risks, there are general questions such as those above which invite reflection. This… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionHistorically, financial and insurance risks were separate subjects most often analyzed using qualitative methods. The development of quantitative methods based on stochastic analysis is an important achievement of modern financial mathematics, one that can naturally be extended and applied in actuarial mathematics. Risk Analysis in Finance and Insurance offers the first comprehensive and accessible introduction to the ideas, methods, and probabilistic models that have transformed risk management into a quantitative science and led to unified methods for analyzing insurance and finance risks. The author`s approach is based on a methodology for estimating the present value of future payments given current financial, insurance, and other information, which leads to proper, practical definitions of the price of a financial contract, the premium for an insurance policy, and the reserve of an insurance company.Self-contained and full of exercises and worked examples, Risk… [detailed...]

Risk Analysis in Theory and Practice (Academic Press Advanced Finance (Hardcover))

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe objective of this book is to present this analytical framework and to illustrate how it can be used in the investigation of economic decisions under risk. In a sense, the economics of risk is a difficult subject: it involves understanding human decisions in the absence of perfect information. How do we make decisions when we do not know some of events affecting us? The complexities of our uncertain world and of how humans obtain and process information make this difficult. In spite ofthese difficulties, much progress has been made. First, probability theory is the corner stone of risk assessment. This allows us to measure risk in a fashion that can be communicated among decision makers or researchers. Second, risk preferences are nowbetter understood. This provides useful insights into the economic rationality of decision making under uncertainty. Third, over the last decades, good insights have been developed about the value of information. This helps better… [detailed...]
