Commodity Derivatives A Guide for Future Practitioners

Commodity Derivatives A Guide for Future Practitioners

Commodity Derivatives: A Guide for Future Practitioners describes the origins and uses of these important markets. Commodities are often used as inputs in the production of other products and commodity prices are notoriously volatile. Derivatives include forwards futures options and swaps; all are types of contracts that allow buyers and sellers to establish the price at one time and exchange the commodity at another. These contracts can be used to establish a price now for a purchase or sale that will occur later or establish a price later for a purchase or sale now. This book provides detailed examples for using derivatives to manage prices by hedging using futures options and swaps. It also presents strategies for using derivatives to speculate on price levels relationships volatility and the passage of time. Finally because the relationship between a commodity price and a derivative price is not constant this book examines the impact of basis behaviour on hedging results and shows how the basis can be bought and sold like a commodity. The material in this book is based on the author’s 30-year career in commodity derivatives and is essential reading for students planning careers as commodity merchandisers traders and related industry positions. Not only does it provide them with the necessary theoretical background it also covers the practical applications that employers expect new hires to understand. Examples are coordinated across chapters using consistent prices and formats and industry terminology is used so students can become familiar with standard terms and concepts. This book is organized into 18 chapters corresponding to approximately one chapter per week for courses on the semester system. | Commodity Derivatives A Guide for Future Practitioners

Arthur Sullivan: A Victorian Musician A Victorian Musician

Arthur Sullivan: A Victorian Musician A Victorian Musician

Published in 1992. This is a revised enlarged edition of a book which on its original appearance in 1984 was hailed as a landmark in the study of Victorian musical life. It presents the figure of Sir Arthur Sullivan (1842-1990) not only as the celebrated co-creator of light operas with W. S Gilbert but as a composer of all kinds of music from symphony and concerto to ballads such as ‘The Lost Chord’ and hymns such as ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’. A prominent public life with a knighthood in 1883 is contrasted with an unconventional private life involving a liaison of almost thirty years with an American living in London Mary Frances Ronalds. The author’s access to Sullivan’s diary held by Yale University and to letters and other documents at the Pierpont Morgan library in New York gives this book both a unique authority and a deep human understanding. A new chapter updates research to the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth 1992 and incorporates music examples. | Arthur Sullivan: A Victorian Musician A Victorian Musician

Solar Powered Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles A Sustainable Development

Solar Powered Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles A Sustainable Development

The Paris Agreement on Climate Change adopted on December 12 2015 is a voluntary effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In order to reach the goals of this agreement there is a need to generate electricity without greenhouse gas emissions and to electrify transportation. An infrastructure of SPCSs can help accomplish both of these transitions. Globally expenditures associated with the generation transmission and use of electricity are more than one trillion dollars per year. Annual transportation expenditures are also more than one trillion dollars per year. Almost everyone will be impacted by these changes in transportation solar power generation and smart grid developments. The benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions will differ with location but all will be impacted. This book is about the benefits associated with adding solar panels to parking lots to generate electricity reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide shade and shelter from rain and snow. The electricity can flow into the power grid or be used to charge electric vehicles (EVs). Solar powered charging stations (SPCSs) are already in many parking lots in many countries of the world. The prices of solar panels have decreased recently and about 30% of the new U. S. electrical generating capacity in 2015 was from solar energy. More than one million EVs are in service in 2016 and there are significant benefits associated with a convenient charging infrastructure of SPCSs to support transportation with electric vehicles. Solar Powered Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles: A Sustainable Development aims to share information on pathways from our present situation to a world with a more sustainable transportation system with EVs SPCSs a modernized smart power grid with energy storage reduced greenhouse gas emissions and better urban air quality. Covering 200 million parking spaces with solar panels can generate about 1/4 of the electricity that was generated in 2014 in the United States. Millions of EVs with 20 to 50 kWh of battery storage can help with the transition to wind and solar power generation through owners responding to time-of-use prices. Written for all audiences high school and college teachers and students those in industry and government and those involved in community issues will benefit by learning more about the topics addressed in the book. Those working with electrical power and transportation who will be in the middle of the transition will want to learn about all of the challenges and developments that are addressed here. | Solar Powered Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles A Sustainable Development

Kedi A Docalogue

Kedi A Docalogue

This second book in the Routledge Docalogue series continues to model a new form for the discussion of documentary film focusing on a new film and a different set of critical questions. Kedi (2016) is the first feature documentary by Turkish-American filmmaker Ceyda Torun. The film provides a window into the everyday lives of Istanbul street cats; their itinerant meanderings present a non-human perspective on this ever-changing ancient city while at the same time exploring the meaningful impact these cats have on the humans they encounter. Kedi: A Docalogue brings together a diversity of perspectives on this film. By combining five distinct critical approaches to a single documentary this book acts both as an intensive scholarly treatment and as a guide for how to analyze theorize and contextualize a documentary. Together the essays in this book touch upon key topics in documentary studies including animal studies eco-documentaries sound studies and media industry studies making them essential reading for scholars interested in contemporary documentary. They also provide useful case studies for teaching documentary film in courses on Contemporary Cinema Cultural Studies and Media Industries. | Kedi A Docalogue

Bosnian Authors in a European Window A Comparative Study

Bosnian Authors in a European Window A Comparative Study

The study compares three Bosnian authors with three European titans: The poet Mak Dizdar to Homer the novelist Meša Selimović to Fyodor Dostoevsky and the novelist Ivo Andrić to Leo Tolstoy. The purpose is to move the appreciation of the writing of the most important Bosnian writers of the 20th century closer to the European literary community and to the wholeness of the literary phenomenon. Secondary literature on the Bosnian authors is too narrow focusing on their ethnic heritages and the Balkan milieu in which they write and missing something essential to a critical appreciation of their works. The study creates not only affinities but more importantly amitiés between the authors. The discipline of comparative literature reveals what is missing in the secondary literature namely a vision of the literary universe inclusive and comprehensive. | Bosnian Authors in a European Window A Comparative Study
