Power Systems Handbook - Four Volume Set

Power Systems Handbook - Four Volume Set

This handbook on power systems consists of a set of 4 volumes. These books are carefully planned and designed to provide the state of art material on major aspects of electrical power systems short-circuit currents load flow harmonics and protective relaying. Many aspects of power systems are transparent between different types of studies and analyses; knowledge of short-circuit currents and symmetrical component is required for protective relaying and fundamental frequency load flow is required for harmonic analysis. Currently power systems large or small are analyzed on digital computers with appropriate software. However it is necessary to understand the theory and basis of these calculations to debug and decipher the results. The material is organized with sound theoretical base practical applications and case studies based on the author’s 45+ years of experience with real world problems. | Power Systems Handbook - Four Volume Set

Networks of Influence and Power Business Culture and Identity in Liverpool's Merchant Community c.1800 to 1914

Networks of Influence and Power Business Culture and Identity in Liverpool's Merchant Community c.1800 to 1914

During the nineteenth century Liverpool became the heart of an international maritime network. As the 'second city' of Empire its merchants and shipowners operated within a transnational commercial and financial system while its trading connections stimulated the development of new markets and their integration within an increasingly global economy. This ground-breaking volume brings together ten original contributions that reflect upon the development of the city's business community from the early-nineteenth century to the outbreak of the First World War with an emphasis on the period from 1851 to 1912. It offers the first detailed analysis of Liverpool's merchant community within a conceptual and historiographical framework which focuses on the economic social and cultural role of business elites in the nineteenth century. It explores the extent to which business success was predicated on the maintenance of networks of trust; analyses the importance of business culture in structuring commercial operations; and discusses the role of ethics trust and reputation within the changing framework of the business environment. Particular attention is paid to the role of women and the important contribution of the family to commercial success and the maintenance of social networks. Changes in business practice and social networks are also examined within a spatial context in order to assess the impact of the development of a distinct commercial centre and the clustering of commercial activity on interaction reputation and trust while particular attention is paid to the effect of suburbanization on existing associational networks the social cohesiveness of business culture and the cultural identity of the merchant community as a whole. | Networks of Influence and Power Business Culture and Identity in Liverpool's Merchant Community c. 1800 to 1914

The Routledge Handbook of Public Taxation in Medieval Europe

The Routledge Handbook of Public Taxation in Medieval Europe

Beginning in the twelfth century taxation increasingly became an essential component of medieval society in most parts of Europe. The state-building process and relations between princes and their subject cities or between citizens and their rulers were deeply shaped by fiscal practices. Although medieval taxation has produced many publications over the past decades there remains no synthesis of this important subject. This volume provides a comprehensive overview on a European scale and suggests new paths of inquiry. It examines the fiscal systems and practices of medieval Europe including essential themes such as medieval fiscal theory and the power to tax; royal and urban taxation; and Church taxation. It goes on to survey the entire European continent as well as including comparative chapters on the non-European medieval world exploring questions on how taxation developed and functioned; what kinds of problems authorities encountered assessing their fiscal power; and the circulation of fiscal cultures and practices across cities and kingdoms. The book also provides a glossary of the most important types of medieval taxes giving an essential definition of key terms cited in the chapters. The Routledge Handbook of Public Taxation in Medieval Europe will appeal to a large audience from seasoned scholars who need a comprehensive synthesis to students and younger scholars in search of an overview of this critical subject.

The Great Eagles Their Evolution Ecology and Conservation

The Great Eagles Their Evolution Ecology and Conservation

This book examines the current literature and knowledge on the evolution and ecology of all the birds named as eagles with particular emphasis on the larger species. It also examines the past and current relations between eagles and people including habitat change and conservation issues. Eagle ecologies and conservation are currently seriously impacted by human activities such as industrialization urbanization pollution deforestation and hunting. Some eagle species have consequently experienced extreme population changes. There are however some positive developments. Eagles have a strong historic bond with human civilization due to their status as the world’s most charismatic birds. Conservation policies have also been successful in repopulating some ecosystems with breeding eagles. Therefore despite the complexity of this relationship there may yet be hope for this unique species group frequently rated as the kings of birds and symbolic of human power ambition royalty nationality and even concepts of God. It is hoped that this book will contribute to the further understanding of these unique and fantastic birds. | The Great Eagles Their Evolution Ecology and Conservation
