Caviar with Rum - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Caviar with Rum - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

No country in Latin America has escaped the symbolic influence of the United States to the extent that Revolutionary Cuba has. This resistance meant that for approximately three decades the Soviet Union had an invitation to intervene in practically all Cuban spheres. With sixteen essays by renowned writers and artists, Caviar with Rum: Cuba-USSR and the Post-Soviet Experience is the first book of its kind to bring to life how and why the Soviet period is revisited these days and what this means for creative production and the future of geopolitics.

Financial Engineering with Copulas Explained - M. Scherer - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Financial Engineering with Copulas Explained - M. Scherer - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The modeling of dependence structures (or copulas) is undoubtedly one of the key challenges for modern financial engineering. First applied to credit-risk modeling, copulas are now widely used across a range of derivatives transactions, asset pricing techniques, and risk models, and are a core part of the financial engineer''s toolkit. However, by their very nature, copulas are complex and their applications are often misunderstood. Incorrectly applied, copulas can be hugely detrimental to a model or algorithm. Financial Engineering with Copulas Explained is a reader-friendly, yet rigorous introduction to the state-of-the-art regarding the theory of copulas, their simulation and estimation, and their use in financial applications. Starting with an introduction to the basic notions, such as required definitions and dependence measures, the book looks at statistical issues comprising parameter estimation and stochastic simulation. The book will show, from a financial engineering perspective, how copula theory can be applied in the context of portfolio credit-risk modeling, and how it can help to derive model-free bounds for relevant risk measures. The book will cover numerous different market applications of copulas, and enable readers to construct stable, high-dimensional models for asset pricing and risk modeling. Written to appeal to quantitatively minded practitioners across the trading floors and in risk management, academics and students, Financial Engineering with Copulas Explained will be a valuable, accessible and practical guide to this complex topic.

A Conversation with Martin Heidegger - R. Tallis - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

A Conversation with Martin Heidegger - R. Tallis - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Martin Heidegger is one of the most important as well as one of the most difficult thinkers of the last century. His masterpiece Being and Time has been described as the most profound turning point in German philosophy since Hegel. Raymond Tallis, who has been arguing with Heidegger for over thirty years, illuminates his fundamental ideas through an imaginary conversation, which is both relaxed and rigorous, witty and profound. The Conversation defines Heidegger''s relevance to the philosophical agenda of the present century by illuminating his great contribution to our thinking about what it is to be a human being while identifying the weaknesses in his thought.

Revisiting the UK and Ireland's Transatlantic Economic Relationship with the United States in the 21st Century - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan -

Revisiting the UK and Ireland's Transatlantic Economic Relationship with the United States in the 21st Century - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan -

This book revisits the economic relationship that ties the UK andIreland to the United States in the aftermath of the greatest economic crisisof the past fifty years. Whenconsidering recent developments to these economic links, it appears thatoppositional forces are at work. On one hand, globalization and the rise of neweconomic powers may undermine the ties. Besides, Ireland’s and the UK’s EuropeanUnion membership could also loosen their economic ties with the US. Conversely,the future Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership agreement may wellstrengthen trade and investment links between the US and Europe. Are the economic bonds between the US, the UK and Ireland waning, assome pundits purport? Or are those claims overstated? Could their economicrelationship simply be going through a process of change? Although there maynot be a single and straightforward answer to these questions, the authors seekto address these issues and provide insight into the changing dynamics of thishistoric economic relationship.

The Gothic, Postcolonialism and Otherness - T. Khair - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Gothic, Postcolonialism and Otherness - T. Khair - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Starting with a re-examination of the role of the colonial/racial Other in mainstream Gothic (colonial) fiction, this book goes on to engage with the problem of narrating the ''subaltern'' in the post-colonial context. It engages with the problems of representing ''difference'' in lucid conceptual terms, with much attention to primary texts, and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of colonial discourses as well as postcolonialist attempts to ''write back.'' While providing rich readings of Conrad, Kipling, Melville, Emily Brontë, Erna Brodber, Jean Rhys and others, it offers new perspectives on Otherness, difference and identity, re-examines the role of emotions in literature, and suggests productive ways of engaging with contemporary global and postcolonial issues.

Early Modern Tragedy and the Cinema of Violence - S. Simkin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Early Modern Tragedy and the Cinema of Violence - S. Simkin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This study considers parallel issues in revenge tragedies of the early seventeenth-century and violent cinema of the last thirty years. It offers a series of provocative explorations of death, revenge and justice, and gender and violence. What happens when we connect The White Devil with Basic Instinct ? The Changeling or Titus Andronicus with Straw Dogs ? Doctor Faustus with Se7en ? Taxi Driver with The Spanish Tragedy ? Appealing to those with an interest in either drama or film, written in an engaging style, the book also reconsiders the high /popular culture divide, and reflects on the enduring significance of the revenge motif in Western culture over the past four hundred years, particularly in the post 9/11 context.
