A groundbreaking bridge between traditional financial theories and emerging interdisciplinary approaches, offering a unique perspective on finance in these uncertain times. From a seasoned expert in finance, behavioral finance, complexity science, and quantum finance. Adaptive Finance is a forward-looking exploration of the evolving world of finance, addressing the most pressing challenges and emerging trends facing financial markets today. It examines how traditional economic and financial models, long dominant in the field, are being redefined by advancements in behavioral science, mathematics, and technology. Financial professionals and academics must confront risks and dynamics that established theories often fail to capture in an era marked by complexity, technological disruption, and global uncertainty. This book provides the intellectual foundation needed to tackle these challenges. The chapters span a wide range of topics—from behavioral finance and causal models to quantum finance and innovations in financial systems—offering a comprehensive view of the forces reshaping finance. The book begins with well-established frameworks and progressively explores cutting-edge concepts, guiding readers through the transformation of financial theory and practice. Each chapter stands on its own, making the book suitable for both comprehensive study and selective reading. The authors present a timely perspective on how finance must adapt to a more complex and dynamic world.

In Mechanism Design and International Risk Regulation Institutions, Mike Nwogugu explains that 'Risk Management Institutions' in this context refers not just to organizations, but also to methods, assets/liabilities, mathematical computations, government interventions and regulations that pertain to global risk management. The author suggests that in order to foster economic growth, international risk regulation should transcend the current emphasis on organizations and assets/liabilities because despite international coordination and new laws enacted in various countries during 2007-2012, risk regulation remains highly ineffective in many countries.

Do you want to change the world but wonder if there’s any point trying? Are you unsure what you can offer, or don’t feel that you fit the activist mould? Do you think activists can be self-righteous, even oblivious to the very people they’re trying to help? 'A wise, rich and crucial book.' George Monbiot How Not To Save the World is a book about doing good, for anyone who has looked at politics or public discourse and thought, ‘we need better than this.’ The fervour that drives us to change the world can create blind spots, where we don’t see our own behaviour, or disregard it because the cause is urgent. Realistic, candid and hopeful, How Not To Save the World is a sympathetic exploration of alternatives to righteousness, purity traps and other unhelpful habits. It shows that there are ways to work together for what matters, without alienating the people we need to convince. *** 'The stories in this book show how we can build bridges in order to work together for the world that we want.' Brian Eno 'Read it and weep, laugh, cringe... it might bring more compassion and togetherness in a broken world.' Dr. Gail Bradbrook, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion 'Anthea Lawson's provocative book provides us with deep insights into the tactical, emotional and ethical complexities of campaigning.' Sir Jonathon Porritt

How Not to Save the World

Routledge Studies in Sustainability

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the background, practice, potential and challenges associated with developing and using perceptual indicators for assessing sustainability.Sustainability Indicators (SIs) are usually described and portrayed as quantitative metrics that rest above the human realm of subjectivity, opinion and bias. Thus, they are the basis for objectively measuring progress towards the attainment of targets in sustainable development. Unlike the "hard" metrics described above, the way in which we experience the world and frame our personal decisions based on that experience, past and present, is founded on perceptions and these can be inherently subjective. This book argues that perception-based indicators are an important subset of SIs in assessing sustainability, environmental quality and well-being. The chapters draw upon examples such as the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) produced by Transparency International (TI), and a variety of happiness indices, amongst many others. The chapters in the book can be thought of as comprising two parts. The first section provides a broad review of the field of SIs, addressing the challenges involved in identifying, defining and populating SIs, especially for countries in the Global South. The second part of the book summarises the range of participatory approaches that have often been used to develop perception-based indicators of sustainability, along with their respective pros and cons.This book will be useful for students studying social sciences, economics, environmental studies, human geography, politics and international development. The book may also appeal to students taking courses in business studies.

Providing an in-depth exploration into the rivers of Habsburg Galicia (part of Austrian Poland) in the 19th century, this volume combines analysis of historical hydrographic data with modern GIS and remote sensing tools.Considering geographical and historical factors, this book draws on both natural processes and human activities to analyse how river valleys function and highlight contemporary challenges relating to water resource management in the context of climate change. This collection is divided into four sections: Rivers, Flow, Control and Economy. The first section consists of studies on rivers in Galicia from geographical, borderland, legislative and literary perspectives. The second section deals with the floods that regularly affected Galicia in the 19th and 20th centuries, causing significant economic and social damage, providing pertinent parallels with current issues in the context of climate change. The third section analyses the actions of the state and autonomous authorities, aimed at controlling rivers through regulation, the construction of flood embankments and the drainage of wetlands. The final section includes studies on the role of rivers in the economic life.This is a detailed and fascinating examination for scholars and students interested in Eastern European environmental history, hydrology, environmental management and water resource governance, and environmental economics.
