Financial Risk Management: An End User Perspective
In the field of financial risk management, the 'sell side' is the set of financial institutions who offer risk management products to corporations, governments, and institutional investors, who comprise the 'buy side'.The sell side is often at a significant advantage as it employs quantitative experts who provide specialized knowledge.Further, the existing body of knowledge on risk management, while extensive, is highly technical and mathematical and is directed to the sell side.This book levels the playing field by approaching risk management from the buy side instead, focusing on educating corporate and institutional users of risk management products on the essential knowledge they need to be an intelligent buyer.Rather than teach financial engineering, this volume covers the principles that the buy side should know to enable it to ask the right questions and avoid being misled by the complexity often presented by the sell side.Written in a user-friendly manner, this textbook is ideal for graduate and advanced undergraduate classes in finance and risk management, MBA students specializing in finance, and corporate and institutional investors.The text is accompanied by extensive supporting material including exhibits, end-of-chapter questions and problems, solutions, and PowerPoint slides for lecturers.

Early Modern Streets : A European Perspective
For the first time, Early Modern Streets unites the diverse strands of scholarship on urban streets between circa 1450 and 1800 and tackles key questions on how early modern urban society was shaped and how this changed over time. Much of the lives of urban dwellers in early modern Europe were played out in city streets and squares.By exploring urban spaces in relation to themes such as politics, economies, religion, and crime, this edited collection shows that streets were not only places where people came together to work, shop, and eat, but also to fight, celebrate, show their devotion, and express their grievances.The volume brings together scholars from different backgrounds and applies new approaches and methodologies to the historical study of urban experience.In doing so, Early Modern Streets provides a comprehensive overview of one of the most dynamic fields of scholarship in early modern history. Accompanied by over 50 illustrations, Early Modern Streets is the perfect resource for all students and scholars interested in urban life in early modern Europe.

What are the needs of humans from a modern perspective and from an enlightened perspective?
From a modern perspective, humans have needs such as access to education, healthcare, employment opportunities, and a clean environment. These needs are essential for individuals to thrive and contribute to society. From an enlightened perspective, humans also have a need for spiritual fulfillment, inner peace, and a sense of purpose. This perspective emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, compassion, and connection to others and the world around us. Both perspectives recognize the importance of meeting basic physical needs as well as the deeper emotional and spiritual needs of individuals.

Which writing perspective?
The writing perspective refers to the point of view from which a story is told. It can be first person, where the narrator is a character in the story and uses "I" to tell the story. It can also be second person, where the narrator addresses the reader as "you," or third person, where the narrator is not a character in the story and uses "he," "she," or "they" to tell the story. The choice of writing perspective can greatly impact how the reader experiences and interprets the story.

Phasing in Crystallography : A Modern Perspective
Modern crystallographic methods originate from the synergy of two main research streams, the small-molecule and the macro-molecular streams.The first stream was able to definitively solve the phase problem for molecules up to 200 atoms in the asymmetric unit.The achievements obtained by the macromolecular stream are also impressive.A huge number of protein structures have been deposited in the Protein Data Bank.The solution of them is no longer reserved to an elite group of scientists, but may be attained in a large number of laboratories around the world, even by young scientists.New probabilistic approaches have been tailored to deal with larger structures, errors in the experimental data, and modest data resolution.Traditional phasing techniques like ab initio, molecular replacement, isomorphous replacement, and anomalous dispersion techniques have been revisited.The new approaches have been implemented in robust phasing programs, which have been organized in automatic pipelines usable even by non-experts.Protein structures, which 50 years ago could take months or even years to solve, can now be solved in a matter of hours, partly also due to technological advances in computer science. This book describes all modern crystallographic phasing methods, and introduces a new rational classification of them.A didactic approach is used, with the techniques described simply and logically in the main text, and further mathematical details confined to the Appendices for motivated readers.Numerous figures and applicative details illustrate the text.

The Creative Tourist : A Eudaimonic Perspective
The Creative Tourist brings together four broad areas of academic scholarship: creative tourism, sociology, well-being and new materialism.In acknowledging the intimate entanglement between materiality and human sensuous experiences, the book seeks to examine the relational nature of the tourist experience of collaborative, heritage-based activities. Authors Xavier Matteucci and Melanie Smith explore the multiple dimensions of the creative tourism experience, positioning the creative tourist within various tourist typologies and modes of experience.The Creative Tourist extends the growing body of knowledge on creative tourism by drawing from new materialist philosophy to discuss social eudaimonia as a happiness concept, which foregrounds collective well-being rather than individual flourishing. This latest addition to the highly successful The Tourist Experience series is suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, university lecturers, creative entrepreneurs, and research communities exploring creative experiences in contexts such as leisure, lifestyle, cultural tourism, slow tourism, responsible tourism, ethical and sustainable aspects of tourism, social tourism and destination management.

From whose perspective?
The perspective from which a story or situation is being told can greatly influence the way it is perceived. It is important to consider the perspective of the narrator or the person telling the story, as well as the perspectives of the different characters involved. Understanding the different viewpoints can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the situation and can help to uncover different layers of meaning and interpretation.

Is the cavalier perspective the same as the parallel perspective?
No, the cavalier perspective and the parallel perspective are not the same. The cavalier perspective is a type of 3D drawing where the object is shown in its true size and shape, but the depth is not shown accurately. The parallel perspective, on the other hand, is a type of 3D drawing where the object is shown with accurate depth and proportions using parallel lines to create the illusion of depth. In summary, the cavalier perspective does not accurately represent depth, while the parallel perspective does.
-
What distinguishes the parallel perspective from the vanishing point perspective?
The parallel perspective, also known as isometric perspective, does not use a vanishing point to create the illusion of depth. Instead, all lines remain parallel and do not converge towards a single point. This results in a more uniform and less realistic representation of space. In contrast, the vanishing point perspective uses a single vanishing point to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensional space, resulting in a more realistic and dynamic representation of objects and scenes.

What is the difference between central perspective and parallel perspective?
Central perspective, also known as one-point perspective, is a type of linear perspective where all lines converge to a single vanishing point on the horizon. This creates the illusion of depth and distance in a two-dimensional drawing or painting. On the other hand, parallel perspective, also known as two-point perspective, involves two vanishing points on the horizon line, making it suitable for depicting objects from different angles or viewpoints. In parallel perspective, objects appear more realistic and three-dimensional compared to central perspective.
