John Cheever
The Letters of John Cheever

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: John Cheever, novelist, short-story writer, and winner of the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, was `an American master` (The Boston Globe). He was also a prolific writer of letters, sending as many as thirty in a week.These letters, culled from thousands written to famous writers, his family, friends, and lovers, paint an intimate and surprising self-portrait that is as vivid as any character Cheever invented.Edited and annotated by his son Benjamin, Cheever`s letters trace his development as a writer and as a man. They reveal him to be complex, flawed, and full of contradictions. On display are not just his ambitions and weaknesses, or his cloaked bisexuality, but the evolution of his wit and style -- and most of all, his immense love of life. [detailed...]

Ralph Vince
The Leverage Space Trading Model: Reconciling Portfolio Management Strategies and Economic Theory

2009 y.
Publisher: Wiley
Description: The cornerstone of money management and portfolio optimization techniques has remained the same throughout history: maximize gains and minimize risk. Yet, asserts Ralph Vince, the widely accepted approaches of combining assets into a portfolio and determining their relative quantities are wrong - and will cost you. They illuminate nothing, he says, aside from providing the illusion of safety through diversification. Although numerous Nobel Prizes have been awarded based on some of those widely accepted principles, their popular acceptance does not constitute real-world validation. What has been needed is a viable alternative to directly address these real-world dictates. In `The Leverage Space Trading Model`, Vince offers a groundbreaking contribution to the literature that builds on a lifetime of expert analysis to deliver not only a superior new portfolio model, but takes the entire discipline of portfolio management to a new level. In this book, Vince - who has made… [detailed...]

Kenneth S. Abraham
The Liability Century: Insurance and Tort Law from the Progressive Era to 9/11

2008 y.
Publisher: Harvard University Press
Description: Kenneth Abraham explores the development and interdependency of the tort liability regime and the insurance system in the United States during the twentieth century and beyond, including the events of September 11, 2001. From its beginning late in the nineteenth century, the availability of liability insurance led to the creation of new forms of liability, heavily influenced expansion of the liabilities that already existed, and continually promoted increases in the amount of money that was awarded in tort suits. A “liability-and-insurance spiral” emerged, in which the availability of liability insurance encouraged the imposition of more liability, and, in turn, the imposition of liability encouraged the further spread of insurance. Liability insurance was not merely a source of funding for ever-greater amounts of tort liability. Liability insurers came to dominate tort litigation. They defended lawsuits against their policyholders, and they decided which cases… [detailed...]

The Liberalization of Maritime Transport Services: With Special Reference to the WTO/GATS Framework (Hamburg Studies on Maritime Affairs)

Description: Despite multiple efforts on the bilateral, regional and multilateral levelA to create uniform or at least harmonized rules for commercial operations and practices in the maritime transport sector and to liberalize maritime transport services by tearing down the barriers that exist in that sector, there is until today no global regime regulating (or rather deregulating) the supply of maritime transport services and ensuring open markets. In this situation, private economic actors are confronted with substantial legal uncertainty. This book provides a detailed analysis of the history of maritime transport services in the Uruguay and post-Uruguay Round negotiations and the role of the sector in the ongoing Doha Round talks, where Member States have the opportunity to work towards a global regime ensuring the progressive liberalization of the sector.
