Asian Development Bank: A Guide to
Insurable Infrastructure in the Pacific

A Guide to Insurable Infrastructure in the Pacific

Anthropology at Work

Trademark-protected since 1910, the famous woollen cloth known as Harris Tweed can only be produced in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland - yet it is exported to over 50 countries around the world. Examining contemporary experiences of work and life, this book is the first in-depth anthropological study of the renowned textile industry, complementing and updating existing historical and ethnographic research. Drawing on one year of ethnographic fieldwork research in the Outer Hebrides, it offers an intimate account of industry workers' lived experiences and contributes to anthropological debates on work and labour, cultural production, inclusive belonging and place-making in global capitalism.

Resourcefulness, Belonging and Island Life in Scotland’s Harris Tweed Industry

Working the Fabric

A practitioner field guide to answering customer security questionnaires when you do not have a dedicated security team. Covers why questionnaires exist and who sends them, triage and scoping, the standard frameworks (SIG, CAIQ, VSA, and custom), reading what reviewers are really asking, building a reusable answer library, evidence and proof, answering honestly when the answer is no, the policies worth writing, when certifications such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are worth pursuing, coordinating answers across a small team, deadlines and negotiation, recognising overreach, publishing a trust page, and turning a reactive scramble into a maintained, scalable practice.

Information Security for Executives

A textbook that examines how societies reach decisions about the use and allocation of economic resources While economic research emphasizes the importance of governmental institutions for growth and progress, conventional public policy textbooks tend to focus on macroeconomic policies and on tax-and-spend decisions. Markets, State, and People stresses the basics of welfare economics and the interplay between individual and collective choices. It fills a gap by showing how economic theory relates to current policy questions, with a look at incentives, institutions, and efficiency. How should resources in society be allocated for the most economically efficient outcomes, and how does this sit with society's sense of fairness? Diane Coyle illustrates the ways economic ideas are the product of their historical context, and how events in turn shape economic thought. She includes many real-world examples of policies, both good and bad. Readers will learn that there are no panaceas for policy problems, but there is a practical set of theories and empirical findings that can help policymakers navigate dilemmas and trade-offs. The decisions faced by officials or politicians are never easy, but economic insights can clarify the choices to be made and the evidence that informs those choices. Coyle covers issues such as digital markets and competition policy, environmental policy, regulatory assessments, public-private partnerships, nudge policies, universal basic income, and much more. Markets, State, and People offers a new way of approaching public economics. <ul><li>A focus on markets and institutions </li><li>Policy ideas in historical context </li><li>Real-world examples </li><li>How economic theory helps policymakers tackle dilemmas and choices </li></ul>

Markets, State, and People

Ron Maydole created a successful Loss Prevention Department while working for a large merchant. That merchant started to experience fraudulent attempts like never before. Those attempts were the result of expanding into larger markets. He was tasked to look into the root cause of the fraud and eventually was tasked to create this department.
It was not an easy task due to limited resources, but he persevered. Eventually, programs were created to flag accounts for review. On a yearly basis, the department would review about 98,000 transactions for a $2 billion company, where they stopped about $5 million in fraudulent attempts while writing off around $350,000.
While attending Master's classes, he was introduced to a book regarding managerial change. While reading, he realized that he had accomplished each of these stages and decided to explain what he had experienced. Ron realized that if he had read this book earlier, the changes that he implemented would have occurred earlier.
The last class he attended was to write his thesis. He wrote about identity theft. The complete thesis is included, along with tips on how to avoid becoming a victim. Ron has a passion to educate the masses on how to protect themselves. That started when he wrote loss prevention newsletters and training classes regarding fraudulent schemes. He had a desire to combine everything into one outlet.

IDENTITY THEFT

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERIn one of the most extraordinary true crime stories ever published, Broken Plea questions what really happened in the house on King Road--and the results of that investigation, still unfolding in real time, will astound you.Was there more than one killer? Had the crime scene been cleaned and sanitized before the police arrived? Was furniture staged to throw off detectives? In the aftermath of Bryan Kohberger's request to withdraw his guilty plea, there are more questions than ever before.In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, four lives were lost in a brutal crime in Moscow, Idaho--and a nation demanded answers. When a suspect accepted a plea bargain, the story seemed settled. Justice, many believed, had been served.Broken Plea prophetically challenges that assumption.Drawing on court records, investigative timelines, witness statements, and apparently overlooked inconsistencies, this meticulously researched exposé examines how a rush to judgment may have shaped one of the most closely watched murder cases in recent memory. As the official narrative hardened, critical leads went unexplored, contradictory evidence was minimized, and alternative explanations faded from view.This book does not claim certainty where none exists. Instead, it asks the questions that were never fully pursued: What happens when pressure to close a case outweighs the search for truth? What evidence may have been sidelined, and why? And what are the consequences when a plea doesn't end scrutiny but invites it?Clear-eyed, unsparing, and deeply unsettling, Broken Plea reopens a case that never should have closed as it did--and invites readers to look again at what justice demands when the truth remains unresolved.

In one of the most extraordinary true crime stories ever published, Broken Plea questions what really happened in the house on King Road---and the results of that investigation will astound you.

Broken Plea

Materialising the Digital

This book explores blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies to develop an infrastructural theory of money, and it demonstrates how payment infrastructures provide an analytical site where social studies of money and finance and science and technology studies can be fruitfully combined. The book utilises the blockchain and interoperability firm Ripple as a 'revelatory case' for investigating the entanglements of materiality, desire, space, and power that pervade all of money's infrastructures in cross-border payments and remittances. First, money's infrastructures have material dispositions: they enable and hinder users' behaviours, and unevenly distribute resources among users. Second, money's infrastructures have spatial dispositions: they produce and inhabit spatialities and chrono-topologies that take four forms - pyramids, rhizomes, platforms, stacks. Third, money's infrastructures have libidinal dispositions: money as infrastructure is shown to be shaped significantly by enchantment and desires. Fourth, money's infrastructures have political-economic dispositions, between seamless interoperability and transaction- and friction-replete platformisation.

A history of the technology of supply-chain management from punch cards to neural nets, and how the ambiguity built into that technology helps companies and exploits workersSeeing Like a Supply Chain is a compelling investigation into the hidden networks that drive our global economy. Miriam Posner presents a blow-by-blow account of the technology of supply-chain management from punch cards to neural nets, revealing how the system's built-in ambiguity shields companies from accountability while exploiting workers.Drawing on more than a decade of research, Posner shows how computation converged with the growth of global trade to allow for a lightning-quick, astoundingly efficient supply chain that lets corporations source products without any notion of where their goods are actually being produced. At a time when multinational firms fear the reputational damage of human rights violations in the making of their products, the supply chain's shroud of vagueness is a feature, not a bug. Posner shows how this is technically accomplished-and how the strategic disavowal of information extends through every step of that chain.

The Hidden Life of Logistics

Seeing Like a Supply Chain

We have entered a new era of turbo-charged financial extraction. Having amassed huge reserves, global finance capital is seeking out fresh areas for profitable investments. Nothing and no one is safe. In Privatising humanity, Kate Bayliss shows how investment banks and hedge funds target our essential services, while simultaneously extending their reach into lower-income countries. When it comes to investments in these sectors, shareholder profits are funded by us, the end-users and tax-payers who simply wish to meet our basic human needs for water, warmth and shelter. We have no alternative but to pay into these structures that generate massive returns for the rich. Unpacking the details of these processes in three sectors in the UK - water, energy and housing - Bayliss exposes the devastating consequences of this model, which is driving inequality to levels not seen in a century.
