Book Description
This cutting-edge volume brings together a range of leading academics and market practitioners to help you define, understand and measure liquidity risk and "liquidity black holes".
Fully explains "liquidity black holes" as episodes where, across markets where liquidity is normally healthy, buyers disappear, and price declines do not help to bring them back - such as in the "Long Term Capital Management crisis".
Presents evidence that smaller liquidity holes are appearing more routinely in a range of markets.
Specifically written in order to help practitioners and policy makers identify and thus avoid markets prone to damaging liquidity black holes.
Additionally covers trends and issues in market liquidity, liquidity risk and disclosing positions, liquidity public policy, liquidity in relation to credit and currency markets, and many other issues.
Book Description
Liquidity risk is the risk of loss arising from an inability to quickly realize asset value or obtain funding and can be damaging if not properly considered or actively managed. Lack of liquidity can lead to large losses in asset/liability portfolios and off balance sheet activities and in extreme cases can trigger financial distress and insolvency. Liquidity Risk is a comprehensive treatment of the topic focusing on the nature of the risk, problems that arise in asset and funding liquidity and mechanisms that can be developed to monitor, measure and control such risks.

Good Introduction to Human Resource Management.......2000-04-26
This book takes a modular approach to teaching you HR Management. You can read almost any module independently of the others and there are lots of reference material to each module, including interesting websites. I'd recomend this book to anyone interested in learning more about management in general, and HR management in special.
Book Description
Young readers get down in the dirt with a friendly star-nosed mole as he shows off the different parts of his garden and some amazing creatures who live in the dirt. During this exciting tour, children discover what soil is, how it is formed, and why this substance is vital to plants, animals, and humans. Colorful art and simple text show how the soil that plants grow in differs from the soil that building foundations sit in, and help youngsters understand hwy this precious resource must be conserved.
Customer Reviews:
Dirt is Great!.......2005-08-06
This book is a must for anyone that teaches soil. As a teacher in fourth grade I believe this book is an essential item for the classroom. It has wonderful images and gives setps to create your own soil experiment. This Book is Terrific!
All the Dirt.......2004-08-04
DIRT is a very accessible book. It starts simply and tries to make a connection with what readers already know about dirt. The author soon begins to call dirt "soil". It discusses soil's composition, formation, and use. It also covers the animals, insects, and organisms that live in soil. There is information about the layers of soil and conservation is mentioned briefly. There is a plant growing activity, but no resources for further study. The illustrations are colorful, clear, and kind of friendly. DIRT might be a good companion to the humorous "The Diary of a Worm". Karen Woodworth-Roman, Children's Science Book Review
Great nonfiction.......2004-03-08
This is a great piece of nonfiction for children. It is well illustrated and the text is easily understood. Children will have a great understanding of soil and its importance. I read this to my class and we are doing one of the experiments presented in the back of the book. I love books that provide extension activities for children. Highly recommended. Young children need more exposure to good nonfiction and this book fits the bill.
get to the nitty gritty............2003-07-31
I bought this book Dirt and also Sand by the same publisher. I now wish I would have gotten both copies in hardback. I nearly never feel that way because of the price difference. We buy alot of books! This is one I can use now with my middle schoolers, use later and use with Grandchildren some day. The pictures are vibranant and well laid out. The information is pertenient, and well placed and it is FUN to read! Pre-school through early High School could appreciate this book, understand it, and find it useful. Anyone who needs to understand our soil would do well with both these books. They cover different material so neither would be a repeat. National Geographic, as always did a great job.
Excited Teacher in Nevada!
Book Description
What is soil? Who lives in dirt? How does earth help things grow? The answers are within this fun- and fact-filled picture book. Just follow the gardening star-nosed mole in the colorful outfits...and dig in!!

Book Description
The main purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to the subject of solar activity and the connection with Earth's climate. It commences with a brief review of the historical progress on the understanding of the solar-terrestrial connection and moves on to an objective scrutiny of the various hypothesis. The text focuses on how knowledge about the solar cycle and Earth's climate is obtained. It includes discussion of observations, methods and the physics involved, with the necessary statistics and analysis also provided, including an examination of empirical relations between sunspots and the Earth's climate. The author reviews plausible physical mechanisms involved in any links between the solar cycle and the Earth's climate, emphasizing the use of established scientific methods for testing hypothesized relationships.

Book Description
The luminosity of the sun governs the temperatures of the planets. Yet the solar forcing, or driving, of climate, primarily due to changes in solar radiation, has never been well documented. Recent satellite measurements have shown that solar radiation varies as a function of time and wavelength, a concept that has been hypothesized for the past two centuries and has recently become a major topic with all the attention paid to global warming. This book reviews the physics of the concept of solar forcing, from its beginnings in the early 1800's and apparent success in the 1870's, to its near demise in the 1950's and recent resurgence. Since its emphasis is on solar variations as a driver for climate change, with only a brief discussion of other mechanisms, the book will be of most interest to students in climate studies.
Customer Reviews:
Seekers of Truth Should Start Here.......2004-03-02
To those Seekers of Truth interested in the facts surrounding the "Global Warming" debate should start with this book. This is a very accessible, very well written book. First and foremost it establishes the historical record for climate change. I'd supplement that by pointing out that 100 years of data doesn't establish any significant trend worth talking about considering the extreme variations in climate known over hundreds of thousands of years.
The book goes into great detail regarding a number of possible factors that may affect climate. No attempt is made to favor one factor over another beyond an examination of how well each correlates to the actual record. However, the data does prove quite skeptical for human-induced climatic change. After all, how many SUVs were there during the Medieval Warm Period (~800 AD to ~1300 AD)? What drove the extreme cooling of the Younger Dryas (~12,700 years ago)? What drove the extreme warming that ended that period of cooling?
Of most interest to me, was the correlation of sun spot cycles, and more importantly the long-term record of sun spot minima and maxima within those cycles over hundreds of years, with climate. Also, of great interest are detailed explanations showing how variations in solar output energy and distribution with respect to wavelength, may force amplified climatic responses.
In all, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the truth about the factors forcing climatic changes. You'll never hear any of this from those with a vested financial interest in scare mongering. Nor do I put much stock in the social scientists making up a super majority of those scientists said to be most convinced that humanity is the major cause of Global Warming.
Nor will you hear any hint of it from the scientifically bankrupt major media outlets. These ideas simply cannot be crammed into an 11-second sound bite. But, more importantly sensationalism is the stock in trade of TV news shows. The scientific-illiterati amongst the talking heads will blame drivers in SUVs for on-screen images of floods and storms rather something which they cannot possibly control, such as the Sun.
A cooment from the first author.......2003-12-09
Although more than 5 years have passed since this book was published, it has held up rather well. The reason for that is that it takes a historical perspective and the history portions of the book do not not become rapidly dated. The author can be reached at dhoyt@toast.net if anyone has questions or comments.
A skeptical view and enjoyable read of a "hot" topic........1999-04-05
In "The Role of the Sun in Climate Change" the reader finds an entertaining tale told by two scientists. Often in today's debate on global climate change, readers are forced to listen to politicians or the media. This book serves as a refreshing change from that paradigm. Not only is the reader presented with a skeptical view of the facts of global climate change, but the reader may also enjoy the writing style which one rarely finds in writings by scientists. The opening sentence of Chapter 1 sounds like a novel when these scientists describe how one scientist, from an era long gone, went about his daily observing. They even display a sense of humor in their chapters and their titles, as in Chapter 9, "Cyclomania" where they set out to describe many of the different cyclic processes involved in both the sun and climate, and how so many cycles can be used or abused. This book can be enjoyed while commuting to work (as long as you are not the driver) as well as an introduction for serious studies. It contains an extensive bibliography.

Book Description
The Earth experienced numerous cold and warm climatic excursions in the past. There is growing evidence that one of the factors that caused these changes was solar variability. In 35 chapters, leading experts present and discuss the physical mechanisms linking solar forces to the Earth's atmosphere and climate. Among other topics, the solar anomaly in the 17th century and the concomitant little ice age are covered.
