Principles of Sustainable Finance【電子書籍】[ Dirk Schoenmaker ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Finance is widely seen as an obstacle to a better world. Principles of Sustainable Finance explains how the financial sector can be mobilized to counter this. Using finance as a means to achieve social goals, we can divert the planet and its economy from its current path to a world that is sustainable for all. Written for undergraduate, graduate, and executive students of finance, economics, business, and sustainability, this textbook combines theory, empirical data, and policy to explain the sustainability challenges for corporate investment. It shows how finance can steer funding to certain companies and projects without sacrificing return and thus speed up the transition to a sustainable economy. It analyses the Sustainable Development Goals as a strategy for a better world and provides evidence that environmental, social, and governance factors matter, explaining in detail how to incorporate these factors in the corporate and financial sectors. Tailored for students, Principles of Sustainable Finance starts each chapter with an overview and learning objectives to support study. It includes suggestions for further reading, lists and definitions of key concepts, and extensive uses of figures, boxes, and tables to enhance educational goals and clarify concepts. Principles of Sustainable Finance is also supported by an online resource that includes teaching materials and cases.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,198円

The Legal History of the European Banking Union How European Law Led to the Supranational Integration of the Single Financial Market【電子書籍】[ Dr Pedro Gustavo Teixeira ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>How was the Banking Union, the most advanced legal and institutional integration in the single market, created? How does European law impact European integration?</p> <p>To answer these questions, this book provides a sweeping account of the evolution of European law. It identifies five integration periods of the single financial market, intertwined with the development of global finance, from its origins, through its expansion and crisis, to the Banking Union. Each period is defined by innovations to deepen integration, such as the single passport for financial services, soft governance and comitology, agencies, or a single rulebook.</p> <p>Providing a far-reaching explanation of the legal and institutional rationality of the European Banking Union, this book demonstrates that the Banking Union is not an accident of history or simply the product of the existential crisis of the Monetary Union. It has deep roots in the evolutionary process of European law and its drive towards supranational integration.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,408円

Just Bee You A guide to surviving the best bits of life and holding your middle finger up to the rest【電子書籍】[ Bindy Hall ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Warning: this book contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children).</p> <p>There’s enough solidly inspirational and profoundly beautiful literature out there already for your reading pleasure, I won’t add to that. Instead I offer you this. I wrote it. I felt compelled to do so because I have a suspicion that, like me, we all worry about and over analyse the same things in life. We are all just anxious meatbags, trying to get along. We all want similar (ish) things. Happiness, family, love, safety, FAME and a metabolism that helpfully speeds up annually on the event of our passing birthdays.</p> <p>I found this quote a few years ago, it came up as I was scrolling on the internet. It’s so beautiful it actually hurts.</p> <p>“You’re a ghost driving a meat coated skeleton, made from stardust. What do you have to be scared of?”</p> <p>It’s deep isn’t it? It’s basically the theme of this book. It’s aim and my intention is to alleviate worries and reassure the reader that we are all the same inside. We ALL relate to the same s*** that keeps us awake at night.</p> <p>I’ll be honest… I swear like a trucker, but I sure can write and I have good intentions. And, as the front cover states- it’s a guide to surviving the best bits of life and holding our middle fingers up to the rest!</p> <p>?

Production of olefins via oxidative de-hydrogenation of C3-C4 fraction by CO2 over Cr-Mo/MCM-41【電子書籍】[ A. A. Ijagbuji ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Scientific Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Chemistry - Other, , language: English, abstract: The present study investigates the oxidative de-hydrogenation of propane-butane (C3-C4) fraction over mono (Cr, Mo) and bi-metal (Cr-Mo) loaded MCM-41catalysts. The catalysts were prepared by sequential impregnation method at 500oC calcination temperature. Experiments were performed by feeding C3-C4 fraction and CO2 into a continuous flow quartz reactor at atmospheric pressure (P = 1 atm.), reaction temperatures between 500 - 650oC, gas hourly space velocity within 100 - 400 h-1, and at reaction time (tr) = 2h. The physicochemical properties and performance of catalysts were evaluated by BET, XRD, H2-TPR, and NH3-TPD characterization techniques. The major products are ethylene, propylene, isobutylene, butylene. This paper reports that the total yield of olefins (? C2-C4) = 71.6 % was achieved at 89.5 % conversion level of C3-C4 at 630oC. The results indicate that the addition of Mo to Cr/MCM-41 modifies its catalytic activity. The Cr/MCM-41 and Mo/MCM-41 catalysts were prepared for comparison purposes.</p> <p>Ayodeji A. Ijagbuji was born on the 1st of September, 1984 in Ondo State, Nigeria. He attended the Staff Secondary School, Federal University of Technology, Akure, between 1994 to 2000.

The Role of Credit Rating Agencies in Responsible Finance【電子書籍】[ Daniel Cash ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This Palgrave Pivot aims to examine the bourgeoning relationship between the Principles for Responsible Investment and the Credit Rating Industry. Since May of 2016, when the partnership was initially publicised, the PRI have endeavoured to incorporate Credit Rating Agencies into its initiative via its ‘ESG in Credit Ratings Initiative’, and have been working diligently to find, and create common ground between Credit Rating Agencies and Institutional Investors seeking to be more forward-looking in their investment approaches. However, in recent years the ‘Big Two’ Credit Rating Agencies ? Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s ? have finally received record fines for their conduct in the run-up to the Financial Crisis. There is a need, then, to examine the incorporation of the Credit Rating Agencies into such a progressive initiative. To achieve this objective, this book examines the field of ‘responsible investing’, the credit rating industry, and the power dynamic that exists betweenthe rating industry, investors, and the PRI (via its ‘Initiative’).</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 6,685円

Sustainable Finance and Banking The Financial Sector and the Future of the Planet【電子書籍】[ Marcel Jeucken ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Banking and finance play a fundamental role in public policy and economic performance as well as in all forms of commerce and industry. They are crucial in determining whether society - from governments to individual consumers - succeeds in following an environmentally sustainable path.</p> <p>However, those working in the financial sector are largely unaware of the rationale and pressures for sustainable development and its bearing on their work, while those in the relevant research and policy areas commonly overlook how vital the financial sector is for progress.</p> <p>Marcel Jeucken sets out to rectify this state of affairs, in a style which is accessible to those with no experience of environmental finance issues. He provides a comprehensive account of their interdependence: why the financial sector is crucial to achieving sustainability and why the triple bottom line of commercial, environmental and social success points the way forward for banking. From a systematic assessment of major banks around the world, he presents a comprehensive account of current best practice, an analysis of the differences in approach and performance, and recommendations of actions and policies for improved performance that will contribute to sustainable development.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 8,278円

Why Americans Speak English Foiled by the Fickle Finger of Fate【電子書籍】[ Richard Balmert ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This informative and engaging historical novel uniquely turns a complicated study into interesting reading of American history. All the characters are the creation of the author and entirely fictional. The exceptions, of course, are those public figures mentioned by name. This is the saga of a family of Renaissance Florence that had re-awakened the culture of education, ideas, art, and governance with responsibility. The world suddenly opened to exploration and adventure. The book brilliantly intertwines historical fact with gripping fictiona novel of politics, love, intrigue, and passions that rule human lives while spanning four centuries of a most unusual family deeply and personally involved with the age of discovery of the Western Hemisphere, an unknown mass that encompassed almost half of earths land mass to the founding of the United States of America. Picture yourself with Marco Polo and the Emperor of China, or talking with Christopher Columbus in his cabin aboard the Santa Maria sailing an unknown ocean, or observing the remarkable Leonardo da Vinci when he required funds to visit the King of France, or perhaps listening to the discussions in the Court of St. James of plans of King Charles to rid England of undesirables and populate the Land Grants in the new American colonies. Western Civilization is replete with wars with little or no reason, with intrigues where monarchs make momentous decisions with little thought but having enormous unintended consequences, where a storm is able to change the course of history and the reader becomes involved in the drama. Almost as the wind changes, history bends and for America, it determines its language.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 468円

Summary of Ash Ambirge's The Middle Finger Project【電子書籍】[ Everest Media ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 It’s not easy to trust yourself and make bold choices that other people won’t agree with. It’s not easy to quit your job and be an artist, or open your own bookshop. The world throws some side-eye at us when we do these things. #2 We’ve all been taught that adults are these supremely wise, enlightened beings, but that’s not always the case. They are just as fallible as we are. #3 I had always imagined that there was a Committee of True and Actual Greatness, or at least a guy with a dog named Wedgie, that was bestowing us all with these guidelines. But as it turned out, no one was out there advocating for me. #4 I learned to become radically self-reliant, and I custom-made my own role instead of being forced to retrofit myself into someone else’s idea of what work should look like.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 500円

Jesus' Terrible Financial Advice Flipping the Tables on Peace, Prosperity, and the Pursuit of Happiness【電子書籍】[ John Thornton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>“Jesus’ advice ruined what I planned to write.”</strong></p> <p>It was the recipe for a great book. John and his wifeーboth financial expertsーhad cut their income by 80% to pursue more meaningful lives. Within six years they had two kids, were debt-free, went on several vacations, and doubled their net worth. John was ready to share the biblical principles that made this possible.</p> <p>But he couldn’t. After reviewing Scripture’s teaching on moneyーover 1,300 versesーhe realized he had missed something big.</p> <p><em>Jesus’ Terrible Financial Advice</em> turns even conventional Christian wisdom on its head. While it answers many of the practical questions we haveーlike *does Jesus want me to be rich or poor? Should I give to everybody who asks? Is it wrong to save?ー*it goes beyond these concerns. It asks bigger questions, gives bolder answers, and offers a more comprehensive view of stewardship. Follow Jesus’ “terrible” (shocking, otherworldly) financial advice, and you’ll have what money can’t buy: purpose.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,067円

The Maverick Mountaineer The Remarkable Life of George Ingle Finch: Climber, Scientist, Inventor【電子書籍】[ Robert Wainwright ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>WINNER OF <em>THE TIMES</em> 2017 BIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR PRIZE</strong><br /> <strong>SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2016 BOARDMAN TASKER PRIZE FOR MOUNTAIN LITERATURE</strong><br /> <strong>'One of the two best Alpinists of his time - Mallory was the other.' <em>The Times</em></strong><br /> In the spring of 1901 a teenager stood on top of a hill, gazed out in wonderment at the Australian landscape and decided he wanted to be a mountaineer. Two decades later, the same man stood in a blizzard beneath the summit of Mount Everest, within sight of his goal to be the first to stand on the roof of the world. George Finch was at the highest point ever reached by a human being and only his decision to save the life of his stricken companion stopped him from reaching the summit.<br /> George Finch was a rebel of the first order, a man who dared to challenge the British establishment who disliked his independence, background, long hair and lack of an Oxbridge education. Despite this, he not only became one of the world's greatest alpinists, earning the grudging respect of his rival George Mallory, but pioneered the use of the artificial oxygen that enabled Everest to finally be conquered thirty years after his own attempt. A renowned scientist, a World War I hero and a Fellow of the Royal Society, involved in the development of some of the twentieth century's most important inventions, his skills helped save London from burning to the ground during the Blitz. Finch's public accomplishments, however, were shadowed by his complicated private life and his fraught relationship with his son, the actor Peter Finch.<br /> Acclaimed biographer Robert Wainwright restores George Finch to his rightful place in history with this remarkable tribute to one of the twentieth century's most eccentric anti-heroes.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 880円

Out from under the Table Finding God's Presence in the Midst of Loss【電子書籍】[ Linda Seabrook ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The longer we live, the more we realize that life isn’t about white picket fences and rose gardens. Life can hand us trials that change the course of our lives and leave us asking where God is in all of it. Or the daily struggles can just chip away at us, bit by bit, leaving us feeling depleted and empty.</p> <p>But what if we realized that God calls us to so much more than just despair when we face struggles? In some of the most uncertain and even frightening moments of our lives, our Father invites us to draw close to Him. While our humanness wants us to reject His promises and plans, God offers the sweetest of communion in the darkest of times. When everything and everyone seems to fail us, we can live in the reality that God promises to never leave us or forsake us.</p> <p><em>Out From Under the Table</em> is written for everyone who longs to walk victoriously through the trials of life and see brokenness from God’s point of view. The God who showed His abiding presence to those in the Old and New Testaments is the same God who walks alongside us today, even when the light at the end of the tunnel cannot be seen.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 960円

Sustainable Finance Using the Power of Money to Change the World【電子書籍】[ Molly Scott Cato ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book provides a detailed yet succinct overview of sustainable finance, with a specific focus on its origins, its policy focus and the practitioner dimension. With fossil fuel companies still attracting investment and subsidy across the world, the book describes how we can reverse these incentives, using the power of finance to tackle the climate and ecological crises. The world of finance is moving beyond the era of ethical investment and into a future where all financial companies will have to report the climate impact of their investments. This is the first stage towards full-scale ESG reporting (Environmental, Social and Governance). Since financial reporting depends on information provided by companies who receive investment, this has huge implications for non-financial reporting by all large companies. The timeline for these legal changes is short for what will be a transformation of financial accounting and investment. The book also covers the related issues of climate finance and the role of central and public banks in funding the transition to sustainability, and how we can ensure accountability for countries bearing the brunt of the impact from those with the largest responsibility for historic emissions. This book will enable those working in these fields to update their knowledge and skills, and brings together the author’s practical experience as an MEP with her academic insight as the first professor of green economics.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 7,900円

Wolff of Wall Street Ernst Wolff erkl?rt das globale Finanzsystem【電子書籍】[ Ernst Wolff ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Sp?testens seit der Wirtschaftskrise 2007/08 gibt es kaum noch jemanden, der nicht an der Seriosit?t des globalen Finanzsystems zweifelt. Wer seine Zweifel allerdings durch Sachkenntnis untermauern m?chte, bekommt schnell ein Problem: Er trifft auf ein Dickicht aus komplizierten und oft widerspr?chlichen Informationen, die noch dazu in einer f?r Laien unverst?ndlichen Fachsprache gehalten sind. Kein Wunder also, dass der Versuch, das Finanzsystem zu verstehen, h?ufig schon in der Anfangsphase scheitert. Genau hier setzt dieses Buch an. Ernst Wolff, Journalist und Autor von "Weltmacht IWF" und "Finanz-Tsunami", hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, das Finanzsystem f?r Laien zu entschl?sseln und ihm den Schleier des Unverst?ndlichen zu nehmen. Im ersten Teil des Buches beschreibt er die historische Entwicklung des Systems seit der Konferenz von Bretton Woods im Jahre 1944. Dabei geht Wolff vor allem auf die Meilensteine ein, die f?r den heutigen Zustand der Welt entscheidend sind ? die Durchsetzung des US-Dollars als globale Leitw?hrung, die Einf?hrung des Petrodollars, die Globalisierung und die Deregulierung mit der anschlie?enden Explosion des Finanzsektors und dem Beinahe-Zusammenbruch von 2007/08. In einem ausf?hrlichen Kapitel widmet sich Wolff den unvorstellbar hohen staatlichen Finanzspritzen im Gefolge der sogenannten Corona-Krise und ihren ?konomischen Auswirkungen. Im zweiten Teil, der auch als Nachschlagwerk gedacht ist, greift Wolff 52 einzelne, in der ?ffentlichen Diskussion immer wieder vorkommende Begriffe auf ? wie zum Beispiel Derivate, Leerverk?ufe oder Verbriefungen ? und erkl?rt sie in anschaulicher Weise. Um auch ein junges und multimedial affines Publikum anzusprechen, sind alle Erl?uterungen mit einem QR-Code versehen, mit dem sie in Form von YouTube-Clips aus der Reihe "Wolff of Wall Street" auf dem Sender KenFM abgerufen werden k?nnen.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,800円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Additives for Polyolefins is a unique quick-reference resource for those who create or use polyethylene and polypropylene compoundsーthe most commercially important family of plastic materials, making up close to half of the volume all plastics produced and used.

Where possible, similar additives are compared by capability and relative cost.</p> <p>In this new edition, product tables have been updated with the most current product and company names, new case studies have been added, the role of nanofillers is discussed in greater detail, and the book concludes with a discussion on blending and handling additives, along with an entirely new chapter on how engineers can approach the issue of sustainability when choosing an additive.</p> <ul> <li>Assesses capabilities and costs of a range of additives to enable engineers and scientists to make the correct selection for their property requirements</li> <li>Provides concise, practical information about the purpose and use of specific additives, fillers, and reinforcements ? demystifying the world of additives by providing clear, engineering explanations, and including real-world application case stories</li> <li>Updated to include additional material on nanofillers, blending and handling, and sustainability</li> </ul>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 19,773円
