    Book Description

    Over the past decade, credit derivatives have emerged as the key financial innovation in global capital markets. At end 2004, the market size hit $6.4 billion (in notional amounts) from virtually nothing in 1995. This rise has been spurred by the imperative for banks to better manage their risks, not least credit risks, and the appetite shown by institutional investors and hedge funds for innovative, high yielding structured investment products. As a result, growth in collateralized debt obligations and other second-generation products, such as credit indices, is currently phenomenal. It is enabled by the standardization and increased liquidity in credit default swaps – the building block of the credit derivatives market.

    Written by market practitioners and specialists, this book covers the fundamentals of the credit derivatives and structured credit market, including in-depth product descriptions, analysis of real transactions, market overview, pricing models, banks business models. It is recommended reading for students in business schools and financial courses, academics, and professionals working in investment and asset management, banking, corporate treasury and the capital markets.

                Book Description

                Das Kaufrecht der kontinentalen Rechtsordnungen beruht auf dem Recht des römischen Vertrages emptio venditio. Auch das englische Recht ist von römischen Vorstellungen nicht unberührt geblieben. Was einen Kaufvertrag – im Gegensatz zum Tausch – ausmacht, wurde von den römischen Juristen ermittelt. Die antiken römischen Vorschriften zum Käuferschutz gegen Sachmängel wurden ebenso wie der Satz vom sofortigen Übergang der Gefahr Grundlagen der Rechtsentwicklung seit dem Mittelalter. Überall in Europa ist modernes Kaufrecht das Ergebnis einer produktiven Auseinandersetzung um die Sachgerechtigkeit der römischen Regelungen. Die Autoren dieses Bandes untersuchen einzelne Fragen des Kaufrechts in der römischen Antike und in Rechtsordnungen der Neuzeit.

                      Book Description

                      Das römische Privatrecht hat die europäischen Rechtssysteme der Gegenwart maßgeblich beeinflusst. Es spielt daher noch heute im Rahmen der europäischen Rechtsvereinheitlichung und der Rechtsvergleichung eine Rolle. Das Studium des römischen Rechts macht dem Studenten erfahrensgemäß beträchtliche Schwierigkeiten. Dem will das vorliegende Buch abhelfen. Gegenüber den gängigen Lehrbüchern bringt es eine erhebliche Stoffentlastung. Es bietet eine Einführung in das römische Rechtsdenken und die Anfangsgründe der Zivilrechtsdogmatik und ist als Lern- und Lesebuch konzipiert. Wichtige Quellentexte sind mit Übersetzungen abgedruckt. In den Fußnoten findet der Leser Hinweise auf weiterführende Studien. Für die 6. Auflage hat der Autor das Buch ergänzt und aktualisiert sowie das neuere Schrifttum eingearbeitet.

                        Book Description

                        Das römische Recht hat alle späteren Rechtsordnungen (auch die heutigen) sehr stark geprägt. Dieses Weiterwirken bis zur Gegenwart wird vom Autor immer wieder hervorgehoben. Er bemüht sich um eine klare, einfache Sprache und übersetzt alle lateinischen Ausdrücke. Obwohl sich das Buch in erster Linie an Studenten wendet, vermittelt der Autor auch viele wissenschaftliche Positionen, z.B. die Frage, wie zuverlässig die Überlieferung der Texte zum römischen Recht ist. Das Ziel des Buches besteht darin, das römische Recht denjenigen näher zu bringen, die bisher von ihm nichts wussten, und es jenen, die es einmal zu lernen hatten, in neuem Licht zu zeigen.

                                Book Description

                                Subtropical convergence regions in the southwestern Atlantic have a high biological productivity, and are important as nursery and feeding areas and as reproduction grounds for fishery stocks of subtropical and antarctic origin. This book represents the first multidisciplinary treatise of this large and complex marine ecosystem. It analyses how subtropical convergence and land-sea interactions influence the coast, and sea and their biota. Synthesizing the rapidly expanding information, it provides a comprehensive appraisal of the biological resources, an assessment of their sustainable exploitation, and an evaluation of oceanographic processes. An inventory of all marine taxa in the southwestern Atlantic is included as an appendix.

                                    Following in the long-standing tradition of excellence established by this serial, this volume provides a focused look at contemporary applications. High Tc superconducting thin films are discussed in terms of ion beam and sputtering deposition, vacuum evaporation, laser ablation, MOCVD, and other deposition processes in addition to their ultimate applications. Detailed treatment is also given to permanent magnet thin films, lateral diffusion and electromigration in metallic thin films, and fracture and cracking phenomena in thin films adhering to high-elongation substrates.

                                      Although this story is concerned principally with the Man and the Maid, the Miasma pervades it to such an extent that I feel justified in putting his name on the bills. Webster's Dictionary gives the meaning of the word 'miasma' as 'an infection floating in the air; a deadly exhalation'; and, in the opinion of Mr Robert Ferguson, his late employer, that description, though perhaps a little too flattering, on the whole summed up Master Roland Bean pretty satisfactorily. Until the previous day he had served Mr Ferguson in the capacity of office-boy; but there was that about Master Bean which made it practically impossible for anyone to employ him for long.

                                      3 out of 5 stars Wodehouse is great; Davidson is not.......2006-06-28

                                      This refers to the audio version. The stories are entertaining, but Davidson has a simpering delivery that I find hard to tolerate. For Wodehouse audio, I definitely recommend those stories read by Jonathan Cecil or Martin Jarvis. They are upbeat and deliciously entertaining without the "sticky sweet" quality you will find in Davidson's readings.

                                      5 out of 5 stars Wodehouse with his inimitable style does it again !.......1998-05-09

                                      Those who consider reading a welcome break from the usual rigmarole of life should read this. Those of us who are die-hard fans of Wodehouse know just how good it feels !!
