Insurance Statistics Yearbook 1988-1995 (1997 Edition)

Book Description

The insurance industry is a major component of the economy by virtue of the amount of premiums it collects, the scale of its investment, and more fundamentally, the essential social and economic role it plays by covering personal and business risks. This annual publication gathers major official insurance statistics for all OECD countries. Part I provides internationally comparable tables showing total gross premiums by country market share of each country broken down by total, life, and non-life density (premiums/population) for total, life, and non-life penetration (premiums/GDP) for total, life, and non-life life insurance share, premiums per employee, retention ratios for total, life, and non-lifereinsurance accepted for total, life, and non-life and foreign companies' share of domestic market, life and non-life. Part II provides more detailed country tables showing number of companies for each type of insurance, business written for each type of insurance, business written abroad, outstanding investment by direct insurance companies, breakdown of non-life premiums (motor vehicle, marine/aviation, freight, fire/property damage, pecuniary losses, general liability, accident/health, other).

Book Description

Mineral deposits are non-renewable; they do not grow in the ground. Sustainable use of finite mineral wealth requires that revenues from mineral extraction be invested in renewable wealth, education and infrastructure, machines and other production equipment, or in financial assets. Different countries, states and provinces have done so with a varying degree of success. Investing for Sustainability: The Management of Mineral Wealth highlights mineral rents investment funds in Norway, Alaska and Alberta, all of which derive considerable revenues from the production of petroleum bound to diminish over time. The book examines the institutional and political framework in which these funds are embedded and how successfully they have been used for making non-renewable petroleum wealth permanent.
Investing for Sustainability: The Management of Mineral Wealth begins with a discussion of the elusive concept of sustainability. New technology and substitution has made a resource like peat obsolete long before it became exhausted physically. Jevons' famous book "The Coal Question" is discussed at some length as a case of unwarranted concern about the depletion of resources. The book also highlights other cases which strike a less happy note. Nauru, one of the smallest sovereign states in the world, has for decades lived off phosphate resources that are now running out. Nauru attempted to make its phosphate wealth permanent through investment funds but failed.
Despite its success with its Permanent Fund, less of the oil wealth of Alaska has been made permanent than would appear warranted, and the same is true of Alberta and Norway. Judging from the experiences of the three funds, and the current political debate in Norway, Investing for Sustainability: The Management of Mineral Wealth suggests that it is essential that the citizenry at large benefit directly from mineral rents investment funds if they are to succeed.

Book Description

For the Third Edition, 2001 Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz joins forces with new co-author Carl Walsh, who brings both economic expertise and teaching savvy to the project. Together, Stiglitz and Walsh thoroughly integrate contemporary economics into the traditional curriculum. Recognizing the limitations of the traditional AS/AD model, the authors offer an improved framework for the analysis of macroeconomic fluctuations. This approach emphasizes the role of the Fed and the federal funds market in the determination of short-term interest rates. The result is an analysis of fluctuations in inflation/output space and a model reflecting the real world of macroeconomics that students encounter in the business press and other media.

Customer Reviews:

A excellent study of macroeconmics.......2004-01-26

Joseph Stiglitz has written an excellent introduction to macroeconomics, including a complete introduction to ISLM economic theory at full employment and with significant unemployment. There is an excellent introduction to monetary theory by this nobel laureate economist and former official of the World Bank. This is a book that undergraduates students and teachers can appreciate. Conservative proponents should recognize that learning from a master economist no less worthy than appreciating the wisdom J.M. Keynes or James Tobin.

most biased, left-wing econ book out there.......2003-10-26

Sitglit-Walsh macroecon book is the most biased econ text in the market. It is riddled with conceptual mistakes (I'm an econ professor), and the fundamentals are presented with flaws. One sales rep told me that the book is really meant to serve the liberal, left-wing leaning students/instructors. We had to chunk the book in the middle of the semester and went with another. What a waste of money for students and my time.

Product Description

What sort of people were able to grab the attention of the public in the ancient world? How was celebrity achieved? What methods did people use to achieve it? Robert Garland turns the spotlight on the careers of some of the most successful and colourful self-promoters ever to have lived, including Alcibiades, Socrates, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Augustus, Jesus, Nero and Theodosia, and investigates the secrets of their success. He also looks at ways in which other highly talented individuals turned themselves into celebrities, including sports personalities, entertainers, philosophers, founders of new religions, and internationally renowned prostitutes. The reader may be forgiven for supposing that celebrity is a phenomenon that has no equivalent in antiquity. This book proves that it did!

Halarious fun.......2001-11-17

A funny fact filled book. A must buy for any history teacher or any one into history.

Hilarious for history lovers.......2000-06-10

OK, the gags and headlines from this book are super-cheesy. But that's the point! If you are a history buff with any sense of humor, you will completely love this book. Along with the groovy headlines, the author cleverly uses stills from classic and not-so classic flicks (Cleopatra, Salome etc.) to illustrate your favorite historical figures. Abraham, Rasputin, Joan of Arc are some celebs described in wonderful mini-articles. These articles' trashiness, yet relatively good knowledge of historical detail, set me into wild fits of giggling. I must agree that the last couple of current history panels are duds, but the rest of the book still warrants a high rating. Great coffee table book if you've got a lot of intellectual friends.

News Flash: This Oneýs No Headliner.......2000-05-29

The premise of this "book" (more like an extended magazine-style gag) is funny - what if world history was covered by a New York Post style tabloid? The execution, however, just doesn't work. Most of what's in here are faux front-pages with headlines that are supposed to be funny. Some of the better ones include "Dow-ner" (for the stock market crash of 1929), "Head Fed Dead" (for the death of Alexander Hamilton), and "Sodom No-Morrah" (for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah). Yes, those are the better ones. I give the author credit for some of the gags that don't work, but were still gags, but too many of these headlines are almost serious. What's funny about "White House Run by Wilson's Wife"? "Lincoln is a Manic Depressive"? "Caesar Slain"? These may be how such events could actually have been covered by a tabloid, but there's nothing inherently funny about that.

Oddly, several of the "historical" stories were so recent as to have actually been covered by contemporary tabloids (even the Hamilton killing was covered by tabloids - Hamilton himself founded the New York Post). I'm not sure about the point of the "recent history" headlines - that McDonough could write better headlines than real tabloid editors?

Another low point is the series of headlines about Jesus. McDonough seems to be worried about offending Christians, so he never uses the name "Jesus" (until he covers John Lennon's claim that the Beatles were bigger than Jesus with the side-splitting headline, "Bigger than Jesus" [wasn't that an actual headline from the time?]) Otherwise, Christ is simply "Miracle Man."

By far, the most cringe-inducing aspect of the book is the inclusion of fake "articles" accompanying some of the headlines. The articles are so un-funny that they are painful to read. So don't. Don't read any of it. This book is not worth your time. And that's the way it is.

It's better than that "Onion" book (I forget the name)........1999-06-02

By the time I got to the Punic wars, I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard.

Book Description

OLE has become a powerful, key component of the Windows operating system-you almost can't talk about programming for Windows today without talking about OLE. For developers and managers who have been reluctant to dive into a mountain of OLE information, UNDERSTANDING OLE WITH ACTIVEX provides a firm and practical conceptual footing in OLE without extraneous details or implementation specifics. In UNDERSTANDING OLE, David Chappell, the author of professional courses and articles on Microsoft OLE and the Common Object Model (COM), introduces readers to OLE's importance and strategic significance. He delves into how component software led to OLE and then to COM, and how ActiveX technology is using OLE and COM to extend the capabilities of distributed applications and sites on the World Wide Web. He also covers topics such as structured storage, monikers, Uniform Data Transfer, and OLE Automation. Easy to browse, with concise margin notes and illustrations, this book is an efficient way to get up to speed on a fundamental technology.

Customer Reviews:

Original programming book.......2007-06-16

Usually, when I read a book on a programming technology, I expect to see some source code somewhere. This book is surprising in that regard because it only contains plain english from the first page to the last. There was a hint on the cover page by indicating that managers are included in the targeted audience. This feature has some merits but is also a pain at some other places.

When presenting software to programmers, the most straight to the point way to present the material, it is with source code and I feel that at some occasions, a function definition would have replaced pages of explanations. On the other hand, it is easy to get lost in pages of source code filled with error condition handling code where a simple paragraph of plain english would have been enough to communicate the general idea behind a software module.

With these remarks in mind, this is why, as a programmer, I did not like the first few chapters describing COM basics and really appreciated the last chapters covering OLE compound documents, ActiveX and the usage of COM by MS Internet Explorer.

The King of all introductory Books about COM technologies.......2002-01-20

This book is a deep survey of COM within 300 clearly written pages, and many many pictures and schemes. If you are looking for code examples etc. it is NOT FOR YOU. But if you want to understand what is COM, what are COM related technologies; if you are looking for best introduction, it has no rival.

A technical accurate, brilliant and clear no code intro.......2001-07-30

If you are interested in COM this is a must read. Clear, easy to follow, accurate explanation of the concepts. If you are interested in code look at Don Box "Essential COM" book, but read this one first.

great book for a high level understanding of COM.......2000-12-10

This is one of my favorite books. This book gave me an excellent understanding of COM architecture. It's concise and has just the right amount of info. If you are looking for a ready made set of code sample to cut & paste in your project or if you are more interested about 'how' than 'why' of COM then this book is not for you. I have recommended this book and also lent my copy to many. I couldn't keep the book down. An excellent read. David Chappell has done a great job!

Better for Project Managers.......2000-09-12

This is an all around good book. However you will not be able to produce any code after reading it. It will give you an introduction to COM, OLE, and ActiveX technologies. You will especially not be able to use the OLE interfaces after reading this book, you will just have an idea of what they are. Buy it, I recommend it, just know what you will gain from it.

The Unofficial Scoop on Military Life

Whether you're dating, engaged, or married to an active military servicemember or reservist -- or you've just signed up yourself -- you may feel as if you've somehow married the United States military! While there are plenty of orientation books for him, there are almost no handy, user-friendly resources for you. Meredith Leyva, a military wife and founder of CinCHouse.com, the Internet's largest community for military wives, girlfriends, and women in uniform, details everything you need to know to manage day-to-day issues and get on with the adventure of military life. From relocation to deployment, protocol to finances, and career to kids, Leyva offers time-tested advice about:

• Keeping your love life together during deployments
• Relocating yourself and your family around the world
• Maintaining your own career when you're expected to move every three years
• Understanding what pay and benefits you're entitled to -- and how to maximize them
• Translating those odd acronyms and jargon

Written by a seasoned military wife, this smart and savvy guide will help you take control at every point of your servicemember's career -- from filing marriage papers as newlyweds to choosing prenatal and child care when you start a family to figuring out his pension when he's ready to retire.

Contrary to popular opinion I really liked this book. I felt it was informative and gave some ideas to new military spouses, although I do agree with the reviewer who felt it was shifted more towards Navy and Marine branches.

AWESOME BOOK!.......2007-09-09

this book covers everything and is so helpful. it was even fun to read. i loved the little stories that were thrown in there. this is a good book to have around. it really made me feel better about what is going to be happening in the next couple of years in not only his, but my life too. i feel like im ready to handle a lot more now. thanks!!

Loved it!.......2007-08-14

Loved it, perfect for new wives in the military...if you have been doing this for awhile...I would not recommend it, but if you are new to the military it is PERFECT!!

A Valuable Resource.......2007-08-12

I bought MARRIED TO THE MILITARY soon after it came out in 2003. I think this book should be standard issue for every new military spouse. It's one-stop shopping for useful information on helpful agencies, acronyms, and lessons learned. If I'd had this book 18 years ago when I married my Army man, I could've saved myself a lot of mistakes, headaches, and confusion. Do a new military wife a favor and give her this book!

Marna Krajeski, author of Household Baggage: The Moving Life of a Soldier's Wife

By far the best for new to the military.......2007-08-02

I am a prior service military spouse and love this book. I find it a great addition to my library, and recommend it to new spouses and young soldiers. Yes this book was not geared for Army but it does teach you how to read an LES, and gives you definitions to military abbrieviations. It is definitly better than going to an army wife who never served and doesn't understand the full realm of how the army works.

Book Description

Multinational Corporations in Political Environments advances and tests a theory of why foreign corporations leave host states. Theories of international business have often ignored the complexity of corporate decisions about leaving foreign countries, generally assuming that the economic and competitive reasons that prompt multinational corporations to enter host states also explain their subsequent reasons for leaving. Alternatively, this book proposes a theory of how different stakeholders' values and ethics shape multinationals' strategic leaving behaviors. Tested in South Africa when US multinationals were facing diverse pressures from stockholders, governments and consumers to leave, the research provides a prism to isolate how different stakeholders' actions influenced multinationals' behaviors. Detailed analyses of subsidiary-level archival data over a period of four crucial years revealed that the multinationals engaged in diverse forms of leaving reflecting their involvements, strategies and stakeholders' influences. The research, the first to test which stakeholders' strategies, including boycotts and sanctions, influenced multinationals and which did not, and to identify their effects on multinationals' behaviors, has enormous implications for policy makers, managers and social activists. The book also applies the findings and explores implications for recent stakeholders' attempts at influencing multinationals and governments, such as Nike in Asia and the Burmese government, through sanctions, resolutions and boycotts.

Customer Reviews:

Counterintitive and convincing.......2002-11-23

This book is solidly grounded in theoretical and analytical rationales. Yet, it presents a counterintuitive conclusion: Sanctions and boycotts do not work. We may have wasted our time pressuring multinationals that operated in South Africa, and now in Burma, Iraq and Israel. A must read to understand the dynamics of global power and how multinationals stave off controls.

Scholarly look at why multinational corps leave.......2002-11-01

This book takes an academic view of the theory behind multunational corporations.

Strengths: It skilfully questions some of the basic assumptions behind the modern theory of the multinational -- as the author illustrates these assumptions permeate all our other global theories but do not have predictive validity. It also tackles a very important social issue, whether our methods to influence multinational corporations work. Did they work in South Africa? The author very convincingly proves that they did not.

Weaknesses: Some of the weaknesses are inescapable in a scholarly work. The detailed quantitative analysis and data may be skipped (as the author indicates) by policy-makers. However, a large chapter deals with this issue. Also, although the author extends her theory of multinational corporations as chameleons from South Africa to other hotspots such as Myanmar (Burma) and Nike, I would have liked her to tackle some social questions: such as whether our pressuring multinational corporations to leave South Africa extended white economic domination in the country. This question and others of its ilk are probably politically incorrect, or beyond the book's already large scope, and the author skirts them. Consquently, this book leaves you thinking -- and that may be what a good book should do.

All in all a very comprehensive, systematic and courageous look at the assumptions, theories and institutions that shape global society.

Five stars!

Good addition to review of multinationals.......2002-10-24

The scholarly literature on multinational corporations is very weak when it comes to explaining why multinationals leave. This is the focus of this book. After one of the best reviews EVER on research regarding the multinational corporation, the author presents a very detailed study on why they left South Africa. The implications for this study extend to anyone who wants to know why multinationals leave -- or anyone who wants to influence whether they stay or leave! Excellent and highly recommended

Extraordinary study on sanctions.......2002-10-06

This book uses a crafeully built theoretical framework to show why US sanctions did not work in South Africa and are unlikely to work any where else. An important piece of research!

Comprehensive review of multinational corporations.......2002-02-02

Probably the best review of multinational corporations, why they enter and leave host states on the market today. A must read for anyone either doing research on multinationals or interested in the effects of globalization.

Download Description

Ulrich Steger¿s new book, Corporate Diplomacy, opens the door to a new perception of what responsible and sustainable leadership is all about and broadens our vision to better grasp the complexity of the global agenda."" Jürgen Dormann, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Aventis SA "This book is a timely reminder that we are all sitting in the same boat, whether we represent business, NGOs or government: we all carry a joint, yet differentiated responsibility for the fate of future generations. For me it is also a stark manifestation of the fact that diplomacy simply understood as defence strategy, or a tactic to camouflage discord, is not sustainable. Corporate diplomacy hinges on the social and environmental responsibility and the credibility of a company, as much as it is about explaining and positioning its business case." Dr Claude Martin, Director General, WWF International "Ulrich Steger deals with the challenges of how to communicate efficiently with public networks, whether they are governments, unions, NGOs, the press or the general public, both in normal times and in times of corporate crises. The IMD background of Ulrich Steger guarantees that we are not exposed to theory but to well researched and structured practice.""

Book Description

For the past few years, a growing chorus of concern has been raised over the way humanity is mistreating the earth and its environment. Animosity has traditionally existed between environmental advocates and those they perceive as the enemy--the business community--as evidenced by a recent survey that showed that 75 percent of Americans believe business has a definite responsibility to reduce pollution. But business has also not always been recognized for what it has done for the environment. This volume seeks to address those issues, as well as the extent of the corporate world's ethical responsibility for cleaning up the environment. The book focuses on the role of corporations and businesses in protecting the environment, utilizing studies of previous cases and crises as well as strategies and methods for future corporate conduct. The work begins with a foreword by Gregory H. Adamian, an introduction by Robert Frederick, and collected essays in four main subject groups. The first section provides an overview of the topic of business, ethics, and the environment, treating such issues as the ethical dilemmas of hazardous waste, the corporate commitment to the environment, and the corporation's environmental conscience. Section two presents a series of cases and analyses, including the Exxon Valdez crisis and the Union Carbide Bhopal gas incident, while section three probes corporate strategies such as the development and implementation of industry-wide codes of practice. Finally, section four looks to the future of and new approaches to business and environmental problems, considering the need to move environmental issues into the business school and to retool cultures for an ecologically sound future. As a companion to Business, Ethics, and the Environment this volume is an important resource for courses in business, public policy, and environmental issues, as well as a useful addition to business, academic, and public libraries.
