A History of Financial Crises
This updated version of Charles P. Kindleberger's celebrated classic takes reader through virtually every major crash and financial panic on record. From the currency devaluation in the Holy Roman Empire in 1618, through the California gold rush of the 1840s and 50s, all the way up to the crash of 1987 and last year's Peso devaluation, this engaging, lively, and exhaustive account offers a number of fascinating insights into why, despite the best efforts of economists to predict them and regulators to curtail them, market crashes remain an inexorable reality. Selected as one of the ten best investment books of all time by the Financial Times. Updated to include coverage of the 1992 Sterling crisis, the Japanese boom and bust of 1988-90, and the wild fluctuations in the bond markets.
Inorganic chemistry is a crucial pillar of undergraduate chemistry education. The fourth edition of this text reaffirms its importance by offering enhanced stimulation, insights, and support for students to grasp the fundamentals. The new author team, with a strong background in teaching and research, has completely revised the book to improve accessibility. They have expanded explanations, adopted a less formal writing style, and assumed a lower level of mathematical and chemical knowledge, while maintaining the depth and rigor of previous editions. Coverage of the chemistry of the elements has been extended, providing a solid framework for students' understanding. The new edition aims to inspire students with 'Frontiers' chapters on contemporary topics such as materials science, nanotechnology, biological inorganic chemistry, and environmental chemistry. These chapters, along with real-life examples, encourage engagement with the subject. The text features a new full-color design to further stimulate and engage students. An Online Resource Centre complements the book, offering 3D rotating molecular models, electronic illustrations, web links, and additional questions, with a solutions manual available for adopters.
